Patent number: 8034042Abstract: A port closure system for use with a fluid container having fluid ports includes administrative and additive port closure assemblies. The administrative assembly receives a piercing pin and includes an administrative housing which seals closed one fluid port. A sleeve extends from an interior surface past a base surface in the administrative housing. The sleeve has an upper portion and a lower portion, of differing diameters. A cap assembly mates with the administrative housing, sealing the interior surface of the administrative housing. A removable cap provides access to the interior surface. The additive assembly receives a needle and includes a reseal housing which seals closed another fluid port. Another cap assembly mates with the reseal housing, sealing an interior face of the reseal housing. Another removable cap provides access to the interior face. A reseal element is mechanically retained between the reseal housing and cap assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: John Domkowski, Richard E.

Patent number: 4439125Abstract: An adjustable die mechanism (10) for extruding a profiled strip of plastic or elastomeric material wherein a plurality of adjacent segments (44) is located upstream and in spaced relation from a final extrusion die assembly (32), having a predetermined profiled opening (38), with this plurality of segments (44) being mounted for individual and independent adjustment thereof, each segment having one end (46) capable of extending into the extrudate flow channel (26). Means for actuating (64) move the segments (44) relative to the profiled opening (38) in a predetermined manner such that moving the segments (44) into the profiled opening (38) modifies the flow of the extrudate material downstream of the segments (44) as the profiled strip emerges from the die assembly (32). The die mechanism includes control means (82) for selectively operating the means for moving the segments so as to produce a strip of material having the desired characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1982Date of Patent: March 27, 1984Assignee: The Firestone Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: J. Robert Dieckmann, Richard E. Burg, Louis Laurich, J. Richard McCarty
