  • Patent number: 6250505
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser is provided including (a) a flexible receptacle, having a closed end and an opposed open end, being movable from a collapsed condition to an elongate condition, and having an outer surface defining a helical thread, and (b) a helical spring in threaded engagement with the helical thread to axially compress the receptacle. Fluid introduced into said receptacle moves the receptacle from its collapsed condition to its elongate condition, producing tension in the spring, the tension being effective to move the receptacle from its elongate condition to its collapsed condition to force fluid from the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 5938988
    Abstract: An injection molding process for molding an assembly of a frontcurve molds in a plurality of unitary solid piece of polymer in which plurality of frontcurve molds are arranged symmetrically around a single center polymer injection gate. In this arrangement the molten polymer flows radially outwardly therefrom uniformly in all directions to the four frontcurves to form one common molded piece of polymer. In a compression injection molding process, the pressure on the molten polymer is maintained relatively constant, and the mold is mechanically collapsed during the molding operation. The present invention molds an assembly of frontcurve molds in a manner in which there is a significant reduction of residual stress locked into the resultant assembly of frontcurve molds. This results in a significant reduction in warpage and shrinkage of each frontcurve mold, which is not optically stressed, and results in a subsequent casting of an ophthalmic lens which is not optically stressed.

  • Patent number: 5630508
    Abstract: A data cartridge case has a generally rectangular base and cover joined to the rear wall of the base by a living hinge. Top edge of the base front wall is lower than top edge of the rear wall. The top edge of the base front wall and the bottom edge of the cover front wall have horizontal outer portions and chamfered inner portions. Cover side walls have half-thickness lower sections overlapping half thickness forward sections of the base side walls. Upper horizontal edges of the half thickness portions of the base side walls abut complementary lower ledges of the cover side walls. Central rectangular inward projection on each cover side wall half thickness portion fits in a rectangular recess in each base side wall half thickness portion. Notches in the cover front walls allow finger pressure to frictionally raise the cover and to snap the rectangular projections out of the recesses. A groove extends across the entire cover front wall at the height of the hinge for receiving a hinge of an adjacent container.
