Patent number: 10056745Abstract: An apparatus is designed to protect a connection between a plug of a first electrical cord and a socket of a second electrical cord from moisture. The apparatus consists of a first housing portion and a second housing portion that, when mated, form an interior region, a first aperture configured to receive the first electrical cord, and a second aperture configured to receive the second electrical cord. Four cross-wise portions are located in the interior region. The first and second cross-wise portions are attached to the first housing portion and are positioned proximate the first and second apertures, respectively. The third and fourth cross-wise portions are attached to the second housing portion and are positioned proximate the first and second apertures, respectively. When the housing portions are mated, the first cross-wise portion abuts the third cross-wise portion and the second cross-wise portion abuts the fourth cross-wise portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: MIDWEST INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Bryan Nooner, Robert B.

Publication number: 20030141662Abstract: Our invention consists of a metal cast or machined coin-like generally flat playing piece with a provision to accept a pressure sensitive adhesive backed label. The label is printed with high quality artwork, which can represent characters, creatures and objects related to the game being played. The label, when adhered to the coin-like playing piece, provides a high quality, rugged and robust playing aid for use in role playing and other type games. The generally heavy weight of the metal and flatness of the playing piece provides a very stable playing aid that will not fall over like cast or molded miniatures or get blown away like paper plating pieces and is very easy to carry.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2002Publication date: July 31, 2003Inventors: Pete M. Kost, Robert B. Zajeski, Donald C. Wiencek

Patent number: 6137067Abstract: A hand dryer timer assembly including a plate with a timer motor mounted on one side of the plate and a switch mounted on an opposite side of the plate. The switch is in electrical communication with, and controls the operation of, the timer motor. A cam is mounted on a drive shaft of the timer motor such that the cam rotates with the drive shaft and also slides longitudinally over the drive shaft. The cam extends through an opening in the plate and has a flange at one end located adjacent the one side of the plate to prevent the one end of the cam from moving past the one side of the plate. The cam further has a cam lobe located on the opposite side of the plate adjacent an actuating arm of the switch. A biasing element is located between the timer motor and the cam and biases the cam to a first position aligning the cam lobe with the actuating arm of the switch.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1999Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: France/Scott Fetzer CompanyInventors: Valerie Helms, Michael M.

Patent number: 4982927Abstract: The present invention comprises a unique method for mounting and supporting a printer used with personal computers. The invention, a Vertical Printer Stand, is comprised of a printer stand base, printer support brackets that support the printer in a vertical position, adhesive backed mounts that attach to the printer side walls, and straps that attach to the adhesive mounts and around the printer, securing the printer to the stand. The entire assembly is then typically mounted to the wall using standard wall mount fasteners, with the printer mounted parallel to the wall. The primary purpose of this invention is to remove the printer from the desk and free up valuable desk and office space. The paper may either feed from the floor, desk top, or from an optional paper feed tray.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1989Date of Patent: January 8, 1991Inventors: Robert B. Zajeski, Donald C.

Patent number: 4553801Abstract: An elongate header for mounting a connector. The header includes a series of insulative L-shaped segments each including a base having an aperture for receiving a header post and further including a resilient, deflectable wall extending from the base. Adjacent segments are joined by interconnection means sufficiently thin that a group of segments can be broken away by hand from the remainder of the segments. The header also includes a post disposed in each aperture, the locking means for cooperating with a component of the connector to lock the connector, once mounted to the header. Finally, the header includes polarizing means for preventing reverse mounting of the connector on the header. Headers of a predetermined number of segments can be removed from an indeterminate length of such segments to preclude the need for a user to carry an inventory of headers of different lengths.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1982Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventor: Robert B. Zajeski

Patent number: 4431189Abstract: In electronic random die, where a device electronically determines a simulated roll of a six-sided die (or two-sided dice), the circuit consists of a multi-position switch and related circuitry which allows the device to also simulate a roll of a die other than six-sided, namely four-sided, eight-sided, twelve-sided, twenty-sided, or one hundred sided. All of these die rolls are available on this one device.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1981Date of Patent: February 14, 1984Inventors: Donald C. Wiencek, Robert B. Zajeski
