US Classification:

811771, 81489

Abstract:

An ergonomic wrench for rotating a member in a torquing plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the member is provided, having a head portion for engaging the member and a handle extending therefrom in a first longitudinal direction. The invention further includes a handle which is substantially elliptical, having a major axis and a minor axis when viewed in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to said first longitudinal direction, the major axis of which is arranged substantially perpendicular to the torquing plane.

International Classification:

B65D 83/00

US Classification:

222396, 222 3

Abstract:

A beverage dispensing device using a pressure regulator to maintain the pressure inside the beverage container as the beverage is dispensed is disclosed. The pressure regulator includes a second chamber separate from the space containing the beverage. The second chamber contains a sorbent on which a propellant gas is adsorbed. The pressure inside the beverage container controls the opening and closing of a flow regulator that allows either the beverage being dispensed or a displacing agent contained in a third chamber to flow into the second chamber when the pressure in the beverage container is decreased. If either the beverage or the displacing agent flow into the second chamber, it will liberate the propellant gas adsorbed to the sorbent, and the gas is released through an outlet into the beverage container. This increases the pressure in the beverage, which in turn closes the flow regulator and stops the liberation of the propellant gas from the sorbent. This process is repeated as the beverage is being dispensed to maintain the pressure of the beverage inside the dispenser.

Inventors:

Jason Mondro - Sparta NJ, US
David R. Schiff - Highland Park NJ, US
Jonathan D. Albert - Philadelphia PA, US

Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
B65D 81/00

US Classification:

600583, 600573

Abstract:

The invention is directed to an apparatus and method for blood sample acquisition and testing. The apparatus incorporates a test strip having a blood sample volume detection area in which a blood sample is accumulated and a minimum blood sample volume is detected. Once a minimum blood sample volume is detected, the test strip is moved with respect to the blood sample extraction site so that a bending surface of the test strip is presented to the blood sample, utilizing the surface tension of the blood sample droplet to facilitate movement of the blood sample to a measurement site on the strip where blood glucose in the sample is measured.

International Classification:

A61M003/00

US Classification:

604/189000, 604/209000

Abstract:

A hand-held device () useful for dispensing a liquid material includes a housing () containing the material to be dispensed and having a dispensing nozzle () and a resettable ratchet () operatively connected to a biased piston (). The ratchet mechanism () including a release lever () normally preventing movement of the piston () until released. When the lever () is released the piston () is biased toward the dispensing nozzle (), such that an amount of the material is urged to flow toward the nozzle (). The housing () is configured to be pen-like.

Appl. No.:

11/400726

Inventors:

David Schiff - Highland Park NJ, US
Peter Byar - Willingboro NJ, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/32

US Classification:

606181000

Abstract:

A lancet device including a lancet having a puncturing element disposed within a two-piece housing including a rear housing and a forward housing. Relative axial movement of the rear housing toward the forward housing directly drives the lancet to a puncturing position wherein the puncturing element extends through the forward housing. During such relative axial movement, a drive structure applies a driving force against the lancet and disengages from the lancet based on deflecting structure in the housing, thereby releasing the driving force applied to the lancet. A retention member then retracts the lancet back within the housing, with the drive structure maintained disengaged from the lancet to prevent re-use.
