Patent number: 10086983Abstract: A closed loop dispensing system comprises a connector connectable to a container for selectively dispensing the fluids from the container. The connector includes an outer cap having a first passage with an interior surface. The first passage can have variable cross-sectional areas over different regions of the first passage. The connector comprises a plug slidingly movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein, the plug allows passage of fluids present in the container in the open position, and the plug prevents passage of fluids out of the container in the closed position. The plug can have a variable cross-sectional area thereby preventing the plug from being disengaged with the outer cap or sliding out of the connector and into the container.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Michael Schultz, Thaddeus Feiler, Erika Theresa Erlandson, Peter Swenson, Lisa A. Kreye

Patent number: 9386968Abstract: An apparatus for sealing a puncture through tissue having an introducer sheath therein includes an elongate positioning member including a housing on a proximal end and an expandable member on a distal end, and a cartridge advanceable along the positioning member from a proximal position to a distal position. The cartridge includes a tubular member including a sealant and an advancer member disposed within lumen of the tubular member. A sleeve is slidably disposed over the tubular member distal end such that, when the tubular member is advanced over the positioning member, the tubular member distal end enters the introducer sheath while the sleeve is stopped and slides over the tubular member to expose the tubular member distal end within the introducer sheath. The introducer sheath and cartridge are then withdrawn, exposing the sealant within the puncture.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2011Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Access Closure, Inc.Inventors: Andy H. Uchida, Kevin To, Brandon Fell, Peter A. Swenson
