  • Publication number: 20230347376
    Abstract: A system including an adhesive dispensing device and a charger base. The adhesive dispensing device includes a first light emitting device, a handle, a power source, and a power supply interface. The charger base includes a second light emitting device, an interface formed for receiving the adhesive dispensing device, an external power output interface, and a power supply circuit. The external power output interface is configured to electrically couple to the power supply interface of the adhesive dispensing device. The first light emitting device is configured to illuminate in response to power being provided to the power supply interface from the power supply circuit. The second light emitting device is configured to illuminate in response to power being provided to the power supply circuit from the external power output interface.

  • Patent number: 10730686
    Abstract: A confectionary item dispenser include a dispenser housing having a dispenser housing opening, a reservoir within the dispenser housing having a reservoir chute aligned with the dispenser housing opening, and a dispenser shield disposed within the dispenser housing and movable so that a dispenser shield opening can align with the dispenser housing opening and the reservoir chute at a dispensing position to dispense a confectionary item. An indeterminate outcome actuation mechanism with an actuation mechanism input device causes the dispenser shield to move between the dispensing position and a non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced such that the dispenser shield may be disposed in one of the dispensing position and the non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced so that a confectionary item may or may not be dispensed each time.

  • Patent number: 10711542
    Abstract: A sucker rod tong assembly for fastening together sucker rods to a rod coupling, where the assembly can include a two-stage mechanical drive mechanism. The first stage can connect an upper sucker rod to a lower sucker rod via a rod coupling. The first stage can be limited in mechanical ability to tighten the connection to a pre-set shoulder torque value. The second stage can then be hydraulically and mechanically sequenced, using a linear gear drive mechanism, to rotate a main tong pinion gear that can further rotate the sucker rod connection through a fixed circumferential displacement to a mechanical stop.

  • Patent number: 10407235
    Abstract: A candy dispenser include a dispenser housing having a dispenser housing opening, a candy reservoir within the dispenser housing having a candy reservoir chute aligned with the dispenser housing opening, and a dispenser shield disposed within the dispenser housing and movable so that a dispenser shield opening can align with the dispenser housing opening and the candy reservoir chute at a dispensing position to dispense a candy piece. An indeterminate outcome actuation mechanism with an actuation mechanism input device causes the dispenser shield to move between the dispensing position and at least one non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced such that the dispenser shield may be disposed in any one of the dispensing position and the non-dispensing positions when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced so that a candy piece may or may not be dispensed each time.

  • Patent number: 9879486
    Abstract: A portable pipe handling apparatus and method includes providing a support structure adapted to support a pipe stand along a pipe stand building axis associated therewith, and inclining the pipe stand building axis so that an upper end of the axis is adjacent a top drive in a drilling rig mast and so that the pipe stand translation trajectory which is substantially co-axial with the pipe stand building axis intersects a hand-off window between the top drive and the pipe stand building axis.
