Publication number: 20210068419Abstract: A machine for dispensing an individual portion of a frozen dessert may include a cartridge cart having walls forming a cavity having a longitudinal central axis and configured to accommodate a cartridge. The cartridge may include a tube having first and second ends, a nozzle disposed at the first end, and a piston disposed between the nozzle and the second end and configured to slidably move along the tube. The individual portion of the frozen dessert may be contained within the tube between the nozzle and the piston. The machine may also include a plunger, a drive source operably coupled to the plunger and configured to drive the plunger along the central axis, and a support configured to support the first end of the cartridge such that actuating the drive source causes the individual portion of frozen dessert to dispense through the nozzle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Evan Spirk, Gary Stephan, Richard Klink, Marc Vitantonio, Jason Ertel, David Pehar, Robert Vystrcil, Brad Briscoe, Mark Cipolla, Donald Fuchs, Ben Parker, William Sebastian, Alexander Velet

Patent number: 9463819Abstract: A portable cart is convertible between a collapsed state for improving storage and transportation, and an expanded state for deploying a modular workstation that may be used for remote medical care. The cart includes a collapsible frame having support members that are pivotable between an open and closed position, and a central upright frame that guides a strut member from a retracted position to an upright extended position. The strut member is lockable in the upright position, and the workstation module is configured to mount to and dismount from the extended strut member. The workstation module may include an interface assembly that enables a patient to communicate with a doctor that is remotely located from the cart. A power module may also be mounted to the cart for powering the workstation module. The cart may easily be transported or stored by dismounting the workstation module and collapsing the frame.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Huntingdon Telemed, LLC.Inventors: Thomas Uttley, David Boll, William Rabbitt, James Szpak, Jason Tilk, Robert Vystrcil, Paul Stephens
