  • Patent number: 10208778
    Abstract: A belt clip is adapted for storing a belt. The belt clip includes a first clip member and a second clip member that mechanically and removably attaches to the first clip member. The first clip member and the second clip member collectively form an elongated tunnel through which a belt can be looped.

  • Publication number: 20180117256
    Abstract: A finger grip for receiving and retaining a syringe body of an injection syringe. The finger grip is easily pressed directly onto the syringe and employs a centering feature and a pair of one way, flexible latches that allow easy attachment to a syringe body yet ensures retention during normal and abnormal use. If a high horizontal component force is applied during normal or abnormal use, the finger grip will not become disconnected in an uncontrolled fashion from the syringe body, which might cause injury and/or damage to a patient being injected. The flexible latches may prevent detachment of the finger grip from the syringe below separation force of about 25 lbs.

  • Publication number: 20170258226
    Abstract: A cabinet slide system includes a drawer or shelf and a telescoping slide member. The telescoping slide member can include a fixed base portion and a slidable portion. The slidable portion can be slidably engaged with the fixed base portion. The slidable portion can be coupled with the drawer or shelf so the combination of the drawer or shelf and the slidable portion is movable to extend away from the fixed base portion. The cabinet slide system can also include a rigid bracket and a support. The rigid bracket can be formed with a vertical section and a horizontal section perpendicular to the vertical section. The fixed base portion can be coupled with the vertical section. The support can be included in the horizontal section. The fixed base portion can be contiguously and detachedly rested on the support to arrest rotational torque of the telescoping slide member upon being placed under load.

  • Publication number: 20170072863
    Abstract: A collapsible storage bin is provided for a motor vehicle. The collapsible storage bin includes a first sidewall that is displaceable between a collapsed position and an erected position. First and second self-erecting end walls are connected to the first sidewall. Further, an end wall locking handle is provided. That end wall locking handle is displaceable between a stowed position and an end wall locking position that functions to secure the storage bin in the erected position.

  • Publication number: 20150343965
    Abstract: A body for a vehicle, such as a pickup truck, has a passenger cabin including an exterior body panel with an air extractor aperture and an interior trim panel. The trim panel is a liner mounted to the body panel thereby defining a generally-planar laterally extending chamber between them. The trim panel, which may be made of a sound absorbing material, has an air passage fluidically coupling the chamber with the passenger cabin. The air passage is laterally separated from a footprint region of the trim panel which is aligned with the air extractor aperture. The footprint region has an undulating surface facing the air extractor aperture to attenuate noise that enters the chamber through the air extractor aperture. The undulating surface may have an egg crate shape.

  • Publication number: 20150056236
    Abstract: The invention provides isolated polynucleotide molecules that comprise a DNA sequence encoding an infectious RNA sequence encoding a genetically-modified North American PRRS virus, wherein the polynucleotide molecule lacks at least one detectable antigenic epitope of North American PRRS virus. The invention also provides vaccines comprising genetically modified North American PRRS virus, RNA molecules, plasmids and viral vectors comprising the isolated polynucleotide molecules. Also provided are isolated polynucleotide molecules further comprising at least one nucleotide sequence that encodes a detectable heterologous antigenic epitope, and vaccines comprising North American PRRS virus, RNA molecules, plasmids and viral vectors comprising such isolated polynucleotide molecules.
