Publication number: 20080073314Abstract: A bottle cap assembly includes a stopper and an over-cap removably coupled to a bottle. The stopper includes a cork fitted to a stopper cap with a snap-in retention ring so as to avoid the need to use any glue. The over-cap includes downwardly extending prongs, each having medial tab that releasably locks the over-cap to the stopper cap and bottle. The prongs releasably catch a ledge defined by the stopper. An inner sleeve of the over-cap conforms to an outer surface of a top portion of the bottle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2006Publication date: March 27, 2008Inventors: Christopher T.

Publication number: 20080029917Abstract: A low cost process of making modified cellulosic materials by melt blending with at least 30% recycled and comingled plastic waste stream at higher temperature and pressure where at least 70% of plastics melts and encapsulate the filler. The plastic encapsulated filler can be used as a feed stock for continuous or discontinuous process of compression, extrusion, coextrusion and injection molded structural (e.g. profiles, stake, panel) and non-structural (e.g. sheet, thin-board) articles by mixing with a thermoplastic (e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene) or a hybrid mixture of said thermoplastics, bonding agents, plastic processing additives, impact modifiers, colorant and with/without a lightner.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2007Publication date: February 7, 2008Inventors: Debesh Maldas, Timothy Morrison

Publication number: 20070007682Abstract: A low cost process of making modified cellulosic materials by melt blending with at least 30% recycled and commingled plastic waste stream at higher temperature and pressure where at least 70% of plastics melts and encapsulate the filler. The plastic encapsulated filler can be used as a feed stock for continuous or discontinuous process of compression, extrusion, coextrusion and injection molded structural (e.g. profiles, stake, panel) and non-structural (e.g. sheet, thin-board) articles by mixing with a thermoplastic (e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene) or a hybrid mixture of said thermoplastics, bonding agents, plastic processing additives, impact modifiers, colorant and with/without a lightner.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2006Publication date: January 11, 2007Inventors: Debesh Maldas, Timothy Morrison

Publication number: 20060156556Abstract: An apparatus and method for precise angular positioning of an object. A first pivot arm and a second pivot arm each is pivotally mounted with respect to a base. A pivot base flex member is operatively connected to the first pivot arm and allows the first pivot arm to pivot with respect to the base, within a particular plane. A second pivot base flex member is operatively connected to the second pivot arm and allows the second pivot arm to pivot with respect to the base, and also within either the same plane or a different plane as the plane within which the first pivot arm pivots. Support structures maintain each of the first pivot arm and the second pivot arm within the particular plane or planes. An interconnect flex member connects the first pivot arm and the second pivot arm. With a relatively small base and thus overall apparatus, an input movement, such as a linear input of about 10 mm can be translated into an output movement of about 7200 radians.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2005Publication date: July 20, 2006Inventors: Ivan Nesch, Timothy Morrison

Patent number: 6979962Abstract: A metal or plastic tube is formed with slots to establish a noise dampening coupling to isolate the head rail of a window covering from vibrations from a motor in the head rail. The noise dampening coupling can be coupled to the output gear of the motor and to an actuator in the head rail to couple the motor to the actuator while isolating the head rail from vibrations. Also, a non-rotatable noise dampening coupling can be interposed between the motor and head rail to further isolate the head rail from vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2004Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: Somfy SASInventors: Pierre-Emmanuel Cavarec, Timothy Morrison, Eric W.
