Patent number: 11631984Abstract: A selectable USB charging cable which may have a switch configured to permissively control the transmission of an electrical current between two internet connected, or electronically powered, devices. By use of the reversibly selectable switch, a user of the charging cable may select an on configuration or an off configuration of the switch. The switch may reversibly stop the transmission of the electrical current between two electronically powered devices by use of a permissible selection between the on configuration and off configuration of the switch. The electrical current stopped by the switch may correspond to data transmission or power transmission to or from an electronically powered device.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Inventors: Patrick Kealy, Rodney Houriani

Publication number: 20220297897Abstract: Described may be a magnetically resealable food storage container having a container body and a lid portion. The container body may have a container upper portion, a container opening, a container ledge, a container closure magnet, and a bottom container surface. The lid portion may a lid external end and a lid internal end. The lid internal end may be configured for placement against the container body and may further have a magnetic closing assembly or a magnetic lid ring. And the magnetic closing assembly may further comprise a lid closure magnet, a lid magnet housing, and a lid hinge. The lid hinge may connect the lid magnet housing to the lid internal end and may be further configured for a reversibly rotational clasping action between the lid closure magnet or and the container closure magnet or a magnetic track located on the container body.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Patrick Kealy, Rodney Houriani

Patent number: 11121568Abstract: A selectable charging cable which may have a switch configured to permissively control the transmission of an electrical current between two internet connected, or electronically powered, devices. The switch may be connected to a connection member. The connection member may traverse into a retraction cavity inside of a casing and be optionally connected to a power prong, a data prong, or both. The power prong and the data prong may each have connector pins divided between them. The connector pins for the data prong may be used exclusively for data and the connector pins for the power prong may be used exclusively for power. The switch, being reversibly configurable between a retracted position and an unretracted position, may result in either the data prong, the power prong, or both prongs being incapable of connecting with an internet connected device.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Inventors: Patrick Kealy, Rodney Houriani

Patent number: 9309028Abstract: A device for expressing a substance from a deformable tube has a casing with a base end, a top portion opposite the base end and side wall portions intermediate the base end and the top portion. A squeezer is received in the casing. The squeezer has two opposing jaws for gripping and expressing a substance from the tube. The casing has an aperture in the top portion through which a discharge outlet of the tube is extendable. The casing also has apertures in opposing parts of the side wall portions through which the jaws can be actuated. The squeezer has a manual lever element on at least one jaw, which is attached to the jaw by a fulcrum so that manual pressure applied to the lever element about the fulcrum causes flexing of the jaw and squeezing of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Henkel IP & Holding GmbHInventors: Patrick Kealy, Liam P.

Patent number: 8434652Abstract: A cap for overfitting a nozzle having an elongate nozzle body; the cap having an elongate cap body with a longitudinal axis, and an outside surface and an inside surface. The cap body has closed end and an open end, with an at least one sidewall. A housing of the cap has an open end. The cap is for receiving and overfitting the nozzle body of the nozzle. The cap has three elongate spaced apart wing portions each having a wing profile each forming part of the outside surface of the cap. Each wing runs from the mouth of the cap to the closed end thereof, and each contiguous with the next so that an exterior face of one wing portion together with an exterior face of an adjacent wing portion form one continuous concave surface between each wing portion and the adjacent one. The cap has a part-helical, or skewed profile, which gives a visual indication of the direction of removal of the cap from the nozzle. A nozzle has matching depressions, which come into register with the concave surfaces of the cap.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Henkle Ireland LimitedInventors: Peter C. Rushe, Patrick Kealy

The device comprises a casing having a base end, a top portion opposite the base end and side wall portions intermediate the base end and the top portion, and a squeezer insertable in the casing. The squeezer comprises two opposing jaws for gripping and expressing a substance from the tube, and the casing has an aperture in the top portion through which a discharge outlet of the tube is extendable. The casing also has apertures in opposing parts of the side wall portions through which the jaws are actuatable. The squeezer has a manual lever element on at least one jaw, with the lever element being attached to the jaw by a fulcrum in an arrangement wherein manual pressure applied to the lever element about the fulcrum causes flexing of the jaw.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: Loctite (R&D) LimitedInventors: Patrick Kealy, Liam P.
