  • Patent number: 10433941
    Abstract: A dental solution dispenser includes a body having a first end, a second end, and including a front housing at the first end, a twist back at the second end, and a grip that interposes the front housing and the twist back. An applicator tip is coupled to the body at the first end, and an ampoule assembly is positioned within the body and includes an ampoule sealed at one end with a frangible seal and defining a fluid chamber for storing a dental solution. A mandrel extends longitudinally within the body and provides a piercing member. The twist back is rotatable relative to the grip to pierce the frangible seal with the piercing member. A trigger is coupled to the body and pivotable between an engaged position, where the trigger engages the ampoule assembly, and a disengaged position, where the trigger disengages the ampoule assembly.

  • Patent number: 8147108
    Abstract: A modular light bar having crisscross lighting in the front and rear. Each module may include two horizontal layers of lighting supported on supports connected to a longitudinal base. A wire harness is positioned within a longitudinal channel in the longitudinal base, with the harness having one end connected to quick disconnects within the modules and having another end connected to a controller. Each of the light bar module is serviceable independent of the other light bar modules, such that the support positioned within and connected to the light bar module being serviced is removable from the light bar module without accessing the other light bar modules by disconnecting the quick disconnect positioned within each light bar module being serviced.

  • Publication number: 20100014288
    Abstract: A light stick device and a secondary light source for use in walk-in coolers and other product display devices. The light stick device is configured for replacing existing fluorescent tubes and includes a body portion, an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) extending along a length of the body portion, an array of deflectors located such that at least one deflector is positioned between each LED to deflect light therefrom, and an electrical power connection to power the LEDs. The electrical power connection is adapted for use with existing fluorescent tube fixtures located within the walk-in cooler or other display unit. The present light stick device may also include at least one plug-in socket for powering another electrical device including a secondary light source from the present light stick device. The secondary electrical device may be configured to interface between a standard fluorescent tube and its power fixtures to draw power from such fixtures.
