Publication number: 20230286683Abstract: A packaging system for sealing a medicine container having a filling opening with a stopper includes a container tray having a container cell for receiving and stabilizing the medicine container. A shuttle has an exterior surface and an interior surface. The interior surface is configured for releasably securing the stopper. The shuttle is configured to release the stopper into the fill opening upon application of a releasing force to the exterior surface of the shuttle. A shuttle tray has a shuttle cell. The shuttle cell forms a body with a proximal opening, an interior space, a bottom inner surface opposite the proximal opening, and a side inner surface. The shuttle cell releasably secures the shuttle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: John DINKA, Eric CLAUDE, Robert A.

Publication number: 20220061447Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to an athletic helmet. The athletic helmet can include a shell, a suspension chassis, and several impact-absorbing pads. The suspension chassis can be disposed within the shell and configured to couple the pads to the shell. Each pad can include a membrane defining an interior volume. A valve can place the interior volume in fluid communication with the exterior of the membrane. In some embodiments, two or more structural members can be disposed within the interior volume. One structural member can be at least partially deformed when the athletic helmet is worn by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Applicant: Windpact, Inc.Inventors: Maurice A. KELLY, Shawn A. SPRINGS, Leon A. MARUCCHI, Marcus A. HADLEY, Robert A. CARLTON

Patent number: 11161633Abstract: A packaging system for aseptically packaging, filling, and sealing medical containers includes a container tray (100) having a container cell (120) for receiving and stabilizing the medicine container. The system also includes a stopper holder (300) with a stopper cell (320) forming a closed body with a distal opening, an interior space, a proximal wall opposite the distal opening, and a proximal outer surface (330). The stopper cell (320) is configured for releasably securing the stopper and releasing the stopper into a fill opening of the medicine container when a compressive force is exerted on the proximal outer surface of the stopper cell (320).Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: WEST PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES, INC.Inventors: John Dinka, Eric Claude, Robert A.
