Publication number: 20150190852Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a gun has an inlet for fluid, and outlet for the fluid, an inlet for gas, and an outlet for the gas. The cleaning apparatus includes a support structure, a fluid feed head carried by the structure and connectable to the paint inlet of the gun and a fluid reception system that includes a fluid reception nozzle having a fluid passage connectable at its inlet to the outlet of the gun for the fluid to be sprayed, and a gas removal duct connectable at its inlet to the gas outlet of the gun. The nozzle is mounted to move relative to the support structure, in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the inlet of the fluid passage between a position where it is closer to the fluid feed head and a position where it is spaced apart from the fluid feed head.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2013Publication date: July 9, 2015Inventor: Patrick Saint

Patent number: 8322055Abstract: An integral massaging means within heel and sole portions within footwear is herein disclosed. The footwear resembles a conventional pair of shoes or sandals with a soft upper area and cushioned soles; however, the sole area is slightly thicker than normal to accommodate a battery pack and a series of vibrating motors across the sole, thereby producing a massaging effect. The duration and intensity of the vibrating motors may be controlled using external control switches and may be activated by pressing an ON/OFF button or by using a remote controller. The massaging apparatus may be activated whether a wearer is sitting down, lying down, or standing upright. User replaceable batteries are provided and accessed through a door located on the bottom of the footwear.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2009Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Inventors: Patrick Saint-Cyr, Kerry A.

Patent number: 7000650Abstract: Installation for filling aerosol receptacles comprising a filling station for aerosol receptacles, having a frame, a cylinder whose lower portion is adapted to come into engagement with the valve of an aerosol receptacle. The cylinder is mounted removably on the frame of the filling station, in a position located above the position for receiving the aerosol receptacle, by a jack driving a piston with recipricatory movement in the cylinder to cause liquid contained in the cylinder to pass through the valve in engagement with the cylinder. The filling station extends above a washing and drying station having at least one reservoir of washing fluid provided in its upper portion, extending above the maximum level of the fluid in the reservoir, with elements for suspending the cylinder so as to ensure draining.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2004Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Fillon InvestissementInventors: Jean Desjardins, Franck Chamaux, Patrick Saint
