Publication number: 20040249340Abstract: A breast pump provides multiple orientations of the pumping lever with respect to the breast shield. A breast pump includes a liner extending from the breast shield, through the suction chamber, and out of the suction chamber, which liner shields other components of the pump from contamination by the flow of milk through the pump during pumping operation. A breast pumping device includes a pumping lever for manually providing a cyclical vacuum within the suction chamber and an external pumping source, connected to the suction bell, that the user can activate to provide a cyclical vacuum within the suction chamber. A breast pump provides a smaller change in the grip width from when the lever is fully-extended to when the lever is fully-retracted, allowing more comfortable manual pumping.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2004Publication date: December 9, 2004Applicant: The First Years Inc.Inventors: James J. Britto, Richard M. Foley, Brian R. D'Amelio, Thomas A. Hagerty, Bryan R. Hotaling, James R. Varney, Jon R. Rossman

Patent number: 6655552Abstract: A heat transfer cap assembly for use with a dispensing canister containing a pressurized product, such as shaving gel. The cap assembly defines a volume for retaining hot tap water to heat gel in a thermal conductor forming a conduit between a nozzle adaptor and an outlet in the side of the cap assembly. When the nozzle is released, the conduit moves out of alignment with the outlet so as to block any ‘drool’ of the gel remaining in the conduit during later expansion. The outer cap is rotatable to a lock position to disallow activation of the nozzle and to further block the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2001Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Aiken Industries, Inc.Inventors: Patrick T. Aiken, Jon R. Rossman, Bryan R. Hotaling, Thomas A. Hagerty

Patent number: 6536502Abstract: A method is disclosed of installing a barrier device at a passageway. The method includes attaching a barrier housing containing a retractable barrier to a structural element on one side of the passageway, extending the barrier a desired distance from the barrier housing, with the barrier so extended, setting an extension limit of the barrier to prevent subsequent extension of the barrier beyond the desired distance from the barrier housing and, with the extension limit set, retracting the barrier into the housing. The set extension limit can permit subsequent retraction and re-extension of the barrier up to the set extension limit.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2001Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: First Years Inc., TheInventors: James J. Britto, Robert D. Monahan, Thomas A. Hagerty, Jon R. Rossman, Bryan R. Hotaling

Patent number: 6536163Abstract: A child safety barrier is disclosed, including a receptacle assembly rigidly mountable to a structural element on one side of a passageway, a gate comprising a latch housing, the gate being mountable to a structural element on an opposite side of the passageway and positionable to span across the passageway, a retractable plunger assembly disposed at least partially within the latch housing and extendable from the latch housing to engage the receptacle assembly and retain the gate in a closed position, and a knob exposed at a surface of the latch housing for manipulation by an operator, the knob being movable in a first sense to a first position and movable from the first position in a second sense to cause the plunger assembly to retract from the receptacle assembly to release the gate for opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: First Years Inc.Inventors: Robert D. Monahan, Antonio S. Fernandes, Brian D'Amelio, Jon R. Rossman, Thomas A. Hagerty, Bryan R. Hotaling

Patent number: 6270204Abstract: An ink pen assembly of a continuous ink jet printer includes a printhead nest and an ink pen cartridge removably received within the nest. The cartridge includes a pen body in electrical communication with the printhead nest, and a nozzle body in fluid communication with the printhead nest. A charge electrode charges ink drops breaking off from ink jetted from an outlet of the nozzle body. A deflection electrode deflects the charged ink drops along an axis substantially transverse to a direction of travel of a substrate being printed. An ink block mount includes an ink blocking element for diverting deflected ink drops. An ink block actuator pivots with respect to the pen body to adjust the position of the ink blocking element. The printhead nest defines at least four ink outlets for delivering different colored inks, and at least four ink pen cartridges are removably received by the printhead nest.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1998Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Iris Graphics, Inc.Inventors: Douglas J.
