  • Patent number: 4537191
    Abstract: A manually-operated pump element of a device for artificial respiration of uman beings. The pump element includes a gas tight, elastomeric, self-expanding and preferably elongated hollow body, as well as two connecting pieces which respectively serve as an air-inlet and air-exit opening. Two indentations are integrated into the wall of the hollow body as grasping aids. With reference to the cross section of the hollow body, the indentations are separated from one another by an angle of 100.degree. to 140.degree.. In order to apply artificial respiration to a person, the hollow body is grasped with one hand at the indentations in such a way that the palm of the hand and the fingers span the periphery of the hollow body by approximately either 120.degree. or 240.degree., as a result of which, when the hollow body is compressed with this hand, approximately one third or two thirds of the hollow body is emptied.

  • Patent number: 4257460
    Abstract: A novel water gun is disclosed herein having a body formed with a central bore opening at its opposite ends to provide a discharge nozzle at one end of the body and a storage compartment or reservoir end at the opposite end of the body. The storage compartment end is adapted to releasably hold the end of an inflatable member which when loaded with water under pressure, expands so as to stretch the membrane of the inflatable storage compartment. Upon termination of the loading pressure, the inflatable member collapses under its own elasticity to discharge the stored water via the nozzle end of the body. A clamping device is employed for detachably connecting the inflatable storage compartment to its respective end of the body and a trigger mechanism may be employed for selectively releasing the pressurized water within the storage compartment.

  • Patent number: 4249675
    Abstract: A device for dispensing fluid from a container has a tubular and flexible metering chamber, intended to be squeezed by a hand. The metering chamber is closed by means of a self-closing closure, which however opens in response to a predetermined pressure upon the fluid. A floating body housed in said metering chamber limits the squeezing of the metering chamber and breaks, when floating in a sufficient amount of fluid in the metering chamber, the communication between the container and said metering chamber.

  • Patent number: 4199140
    Abstract: A container has a body member having a pair of flat opposite major surfaces and an elongated handle having a longitudinal axis parallel to the planes of the major surfaces. A circular hole for receiving a shaft is formed substantially in the volumetric center of the container and the hole is surrounded by a key device to lock the shaft in the container. The container has an opening for filling and a cap for closing the opening. Preferably, the axis of the handle is located nonsymmetrically between the planes of the major surfaces and is supported by structure integral and continuous with, but narrower than the sidewalls of the container between the major surfaces. Preferably in the end of the container opposite the handle there is a slot communicating with a cylindrical hole in the container so that a rubber or metal resilient member may be inserted through the slot and secured by a dowel in the cylindrical hole.

  • Patent number: 4072249
    Abstract: A container for dispensing fluid and semifluid liquids and pastes, such as for medicinal use, is provided with a top flexible dome and a bottom dome which may or may not be flexible. The contents which are stored in the space between the two domes is squeezed outwardly through a spout on the bottom dome by pressing and forcing the top dome into the bottom dome. The container may be combined with other containers which are connected along flanges of each container, which flanges are used to grip the container by fingers so that when the top dome is pressed downwardly by a thumb the fingers may aid in the process. The plurality of containers connected along the flanges form a block which may be combined with other blocks for easy transport.

  • Patent number: 3985268
    Abstract: The dispenser may be in the form of a dispensing gun and is preferably used to dispense a low viscosity material such as a cynoacrylate glue. The dispenser includes a handle and a holder supported from the handle. The holder comprises a body defining a chamber in which the glue bottle is disposed and an end cap having a nozzle and into which the bottle is threadedly engaged. The handle has a venturi tube therein which receives a pressurized air flow and couples the air flow to the holder, and a valve means coupled to the venturi tube. When the valve means is open the pressurized air is vented to the atmosphere causing a partial vacuum (negative pressure) in the holder on the bottle thereby sucking any excess material into the bottle. When the valve means is operated to its closed position the pressurized air is directed to the holder causing the bottle to contract and thereby force metered amounts out of the nozzle of the dispenser.
