  • Publication number: 20150374082
    Abstract: A base for a cane, walking stick, or the like has a center portion and legs. The center portion has a bore through which a shaft of the cane can be inserted. The bore may have a metal stopper at its base. A bellows is around the outside of the center portion, and is tapered toward the top of the center portion. The legs have winglets extending from opposite sides. The center portion and legs may be manufactured of a first material, while the bellows and winglets are manufactured of a second material. During manufacturing, the bellows and winglets may be overmolded the center portion and legs. The bellows and winglets may be connected through a channel in each leg.

  • Patent number: 7310193
    Abstract: Described is an assembly, which includes a housing and a window member therein. Also, described is a method and system for manufacturing such assembly. In particular, a first part and a second part are approximated into a molding configuration to create a first mold therebetween. The first mold includes first and second molding cavities. When the first and second parts are in the molding configuration, the second molding cavity is sealed with respect to the first molding cavity. Then, a first molding material is added into the first molding cavity to create a housing. A window member is inserted into the second molding cavity. The second part is replaced with a third molding cavity surrounding a perimeter of the window member. Subsequently, a second molding material is added to the third molding cavity to create a seal surrounding the perimeter of the window member.

  • Patent number: 6935459
    Abstract: A resonating device for attenuating sound waves that are generated by a pneumatic surgical instrument is disclosed. The resonating device includes a manifold having a duct for accommodating a flow of fluid from the instrument. A plurality of canisters extend from the manifold for attenuating sound waves produced by the instrument. A neck extends into each canister and is in fluid communication with the duct and the canister. The canisters are mounted to and extend from the manifold in series. The canisters attenuate the sound waves in order from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, thereby efficiently attenuating the sound waves.
