Patent number: 11590051Abstract: A massage device provides a gentle massage and myofascial release. The massage device comprises a first roller set and a second roller set that are configured so that the first roller set makes a first contact that displaces the tissue being massaged and, prior to the tissue returning to its natural state, the second roller makes a second contact with the tissue being massaged, thus providing a deeper, extended massage to the tissue. Also disclosed is an ergonomic handle for a massage device that also functions as a trigger point release tool.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Inventors: Vincent A Piucci, Jr., Barbara A Piucci

Patent number: 8501061Abstract: A method for making a foam-in-place cushion in which a foam-forming composition is dispensed between two plastic film portions in a predetermined fashion to selectively control the distribution of the foam in the cushion. A foam dispenser can be moved in a transverse direction as foam is dispensed. A dispersion device can be employed to apply pressure on predetermined areas of the film portions towards each other so as to cause the composition to be redistributed in position in a predetermined manner while the composition is in a less than fully expanded state. The plastic film can then be sealed closed to form an expanding foam cushion that can be placed into a shipping carton where the cushion expands to fill void space, or into a mold where the cushion expands and is molded into a desired shape.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Sealed Air Corporation (US)Inventors: Charles R. Sperry, Suzanne M. Scott, Dennis F. McNamara, Jr., Vincent A. Piucci, Jr., Michael J. Schamel
