Patent number: 8069751Abstract: The “invention” is a unique device that has but one relevant purpose and that is to engage both regular and large mouthed mason jars that have been vacuum sealed with a “dome lid” (without a ring), thus attached by a user screwing the invention's two tiered body onto the selected mason jar. The top tier of the invention receives a regular mouthed mason jar while the lower tier receives a large mouthed mason jar. Once screwed onto the existing jar the user depresses the appropriate level leaf spring, thus inserting the associated lifting pin underneath the lip of the present dome lid and then, while holding the mechanism inward, the user unscrews the invention's body causing a counterclockwise and upward force on the dome lid via the lifting pin separating the dome lid from the mason jar, opening it.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2009Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Inventor: Darryl William Barton

Publication number: 20070040869Abstract: An injection molded print head for an assembly of print heads for large scale printing of, e.g., billboards, banners, posters and the like, includes a nozzle plate that is bonded to a manifold plate. The manifold plate is formed with ink-receiving nozzle chambers that are coaxially registered with respective nozzles in the nozzle plate. The bonded manifold and nozzle plates may be removed from the balance of the print head for nozzle cleaning/replacement purposes. A transducer holder supports piezoelectric transducers that are coaxially registered with respective nozzle chambers. A pulse transmitting plate is disposed between the transducer holder and the manifold plate for transmitting energy from the transducers to the nozzle chambers to thereby controllably discharge ink through selected nozzles. The nozzles may be arranged in columns, with each column being canted at an oblique angle relative to the direction of print head movement over the substrate to be printed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2005Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventor: William Barton
