Patent number: 10106313Abstract: A liquid crystal panel packaging case, including a frame body and a base plate, wherein an inside of the frame body is provided with a stepped part, and at least two opposite ends of the base plate are lapped on an upper surface of the stepped part. The packaging case the frame body and the base plate of the liquid crystal panel packaging case individually manufactured in combination. The base plate is used by being lapped on the step of the frame body. The frame body and the base plate in different packaging bases are interchangeable, so that only the damaged structure needs to be replaced when only a part is damaged, which decreases repair cost.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Shenzhen China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Qianshuang Hu, Pangling Zhang, Shihhsiang Chen, Yuchun Hsiao

Patent number: 9930945Abstract: Methods and systems for a protective sleeve for an electronic device according to various aspects of the present technology may function as a substantially impermeable barrier between moisture and/or air and the electronic device. Various embodiments of the protective sleeve may comprise a front panel coupled to a back panel, forming an internal volume that may be sealed toward a bottom open end by an expandable sheet member and a fastener toward a top open end. The expandable sheet member may fold inwardly towards a mid-portion of the internal volume to form a ridge flanked by two inwardly projecting surfaces. Expansion of the expandable sheet member may reduce a degree of inward projection of the two inwardly projecting surfaces above horizontal and may modify the shape of the internal volume to effect standing the protective sleeve upright on a surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Nice Touch, LLCInventor: Ali M. Mosharrafa

Patent number: 9809378Abstract: A packaging system and method that can be used to protect a display device. The packaging system includes a front foam panel, a base foam panel and a back foam panel, and two different types of foam for the panels. The base foam panel supports the weight of the display device and absorbs vibrations. The front foam panel protects the screen of the display device by spreading loads over a wider area and reducing the risk of the screen cracking. A back foam panel is made of a lower density foam and supports the display device rear panel in position while taking up the different shapes of the rear panels and allows for variation in thicknesses between different models.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Matt Flynn, Ryan Marquardt, Simon Furness, Adrian Cox

Patent number: 9688429Abstract: An adapter device for suctioning air out of plastic bags of a type typically used for containing fallen leaves and other yard waste for disposal comprises a screen that surrounds a space that is connectable in fluid flow relation with the suction end of the vacuum hose, a shield positioned around the screen that is capable of preventing a plastic bag from being sucked by vacuum to the screen. The mouth of the shield is sized for blocking leaves or other yard waste matted in the bag from being sucked to the screen while allowing air in the bag to flow to the screen.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2014Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Inventor: Dennis Luckau

Patent number: 9649793Abstract: Processes for producing near net-shape panels and panels formed thereby. The processes include forming a preform to comprise a stack of multiple plies that contain an uncured expandable foam material. The preform has regions that differ from each other by the number and/or volume of the plies therein. The preform and its plies are then cured within a restricted volume to produce a near net-shape panel. The curing step causes the expandable foam material to expand, and the restricted volume is sized so that the number and volume of the plies within the regions of the preform cause zones within the panel to have different densities and/or thicknesses.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Eric Joseph Aho, Curt Brian Curtis, Scott Alan Garten, Randall Maurice Prather, James Timothy Sanchez, Michael Dominic Schulte, Brian Dominic Stephens

Patent number: 9538867Abstract: A composite body is provided that includes a rigid polyurethane foam shell and an elastomeric polyurethane layer disposed over the rigid polyurethane foam shell. The rigid polyurethane foam shell defines a cavity within the composite body. The rigid polyurethane foam shell has a closed cell content of at least 70% and comprises the reaction product of a first isocyanate component and a first isocyanate-reactive component in the presence of a blowing agent. The elastomeric polyurethane layer is disposed over the polyurethane foam shell. The elastomeric polyurethane layer comprises the reaction product of a second isocyanate component and a second isocyanate-reactive component. A method of forming the composite body includes the step of molding the rigid polyurethane foam shell, demolding the rigid polyurethane foam shell from the mold, and applying an elastomeric polyurethane composition upon the rigid polyurethane foam shell after demolding to form the elastomeric polyurethane layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: BASF SEInventors: David D. Peters, Michael Praw, Richard Varner
