Publication number: 20130228136Abstract: A method of dispensing liquid from a dispenser onto an animal. The method includes placing a tip of the dispenser on or near the skin of the animal and depressing a plunger which is movably disposed in a body of the dispenser. Depressing the plunger causes a membrane in the body to be pierced such that an opening is formed in the membrane. At least some of the liquid is dispensed through an opening of the dispenser onto the skin of the animal. In another embodiment, a dispenser is provided for dispensing liquid onto the skin of an animal. The dispenser can include a cap and a replaceable cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2013Publication date: September 5, 2013Inventors: Gregory A. Lyon, Mick A. Trompen, Ronald W. Lyon, Joseph R. Winkle, Kevin Willard

Patent number: 7682354Abstract: A dispenser is provided. The dispenser has a reservoir for storing a liquid or solid material. The dispenser may have a piezoelectric valve or pump located in an opening of the reservoir for regulating dispensing of the material. Alternatively, the dispenser may have a piezoelectric inchworm that directly or indirectly propels the material against or out of the opening. The opening may deposit the material directly or indirectly on the surface of an animal, or under the animal's skin. The dispenser also can be attached to the surface of the animal. Alternatively, the dispenser may be placed inside the animal.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2003Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignees: Aircom Manufacturing, Inc., Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Mick A. Trompen, Gregory A. Lyon, Ronald W. Lyon, Steven D. Lubetkin, Joseph R. Winkle, Jeffery A. Meyer

Patent number: 6974587Abstract: An intraruminal device is provided for the time release dispensation of a medicament to a ruminant. The device has no metal parts which may damage slaughterhouse equipment or injure a human upon consumption of ground meat from a ruminant from which the device was not properly removed. The device may use a nonmetallic bladder assembly having a to supply a compressive force to the medicament matrix to keep the matrix abutted against the first end of the device. The device may also use a piston to create a fluid-tight seal allowing part of the device to be pressurized, allowing the piston to provide a compressive force to the medicament matrix. The matrix surface at the first end is exposed to ruminal juices for dissolution of the matrix and dispensation of the medicament into the rumen.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2002Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Aircom Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Mick Trompen, Ronald W. Lyon, Gregory A. Lyon

Patent number: 5948274Abstract: A reconditioning system which withdraws coolant from a machine tool sump, filters solids from the coolant, removes tramp oil from the coolant, kills bacteria in the coolant, and returns the reconditioned coolant to the machine tool sump. The reconditioning system includes a separator tank having a coolant inlet, a coolant outlet, and a coalescer pack located between the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet to separate tramp oil from the coolant. An ozone generator is connected to the separator tank for dissolving ozone into the coolant to kill bacteria, yeast and fungus. An in-sump pickup includes a flexible intake hose connected to the separator tank coolant inlet, a suction nozzle having a generally rigid tube attached near an angled or fluted inlet end of the intake hose, and a ring-shaped float encircling the rigid tube. The float is arranged to provide the required amount of buoyancy necessary to float the suction nozzle near the surface of the coolant in the sump.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1998Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Aircom Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Gregory A. Lyon, William F. Bettag, Ronald W. Lyon

Patent number: 5355556Abstract: Hinges on the door have pairs of pins facing in opposite directions. One of each pair of pins is inserted in a socket of a hinge knuckle. The end of the pin bears against an interior surface of the knuckle. The pins can be connected by a post. A slot is provided in the knuckle for receiving the post. The door is reversed by removing the pin from the socket, inverting the door, and inserting the opposite pin in a knuckle on the opposite side of the opening. The enclosure or the door is provided with a flange or seal to engage the door when it is closed, thereby inhibiting movement of the door in the plane of the door. Thus, disengagement of the pintle from the socket is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1993Date of Patent: October 18, 1994Assignee: Aircom Metal Products, Inc.Inventor: Ronald W. Lyon
