  • Publication number: 20070113861
    Abstract: A protective cap for a medical device comprising two cap parts, an inner and an outer cap part, which two cap parts can be assembled, one inside the other, to form a single integrated cap. When assembled, the inner and outer cap parts have a gap in-between, where a user defined object can be inserted. Interlocking means are provided to hold the cap parts together, and seals can be provided to assure a tight enclosure. Elevations may be provided to locally narrow the gap between the two cap parts in order to hold the inserted object in place and a template may be provided to cut out the objects to be inserted in appropriate dimensions. The outer cap part may be transparent to make the inserted object visual, whereas the inner cap part may be impenetrable by light, to protect the medical device.

  • Publication number: 20040091129
    Abstract: A telephone headset apparatus is disclosed. This headset apparatus includes a body having a microphone at one end and a transducer at the opposite end, an earhook, for attaching the apparatus to the ear of the operator, and a mechanism, contained within the body in a movable engagement, for holding the earhook in a frictional engagement that allows for movement of the earhook, with three degrees of freedom. The mechanism is located at a point within the body where upon adjustment of the earhook by the operator (i.e., rotated, tilted, pivoted) the headset apparatus remains properly balanced and within the sound envelope of an operator, for uninterrupted operation.
