Robert L. Gibbs has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9724031
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lancet for performing an incision. The lancet has a blade for providing an incision and a trigger housed in a housing. The trigger has a first trigger arm, a second trigger arm and a flexible member connected to the second trigger arm. A resilient member may be disposed within the housing in a pre-cutting state in which it stores energy and arranged to exert a force for moving the second trigger arm and the blade from a first stowed position through a cutting position and to a second stowed position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 17, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2017

  • Patent number: 4683824
    Abstract: A cartridge launched spin stabilized disk for deploying chaff (radar countermeasure dipoles) or other expendable materials or substances from a moving aircraft. The disk, containing the expendable material is ejected from the aircraft at some elevation angle and at an angle in azimuth off of the aircraft line-of-flight and dispenses the expendable material in a more or less uniform fashion for a brief period of time as it travels away from the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 4653403
    Abstract: Apparatus for ejecting and dispersing a payload of passive radiation interference material into the near vicinity of a tactical aircraft comprises a cartridge case adapted for carrying and launching at least one cylindrical payload disk, the cartridge case having a lineal length of rack teeth within its bore and the payload disk having at least a portion of its exterior circumferential extent with matching gear teeth such that upon explosively pressurizing the cartridge case the payload disk is ejected exhibiting high linear and rotational velocities. The payload disk has tapered bore wall surfaces which confine the payload material and upon being ejected the spin-stabilized payload disk disperses the payload substantially uniformly within the first few milliseconds after leaving the cartridge case.
