US Patent:

43709753, Feb 1, 1983

Filed:

Aug 27, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/181712

Inventors:

Edward S. Wright - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

A61H 100

US Classification:

128 64

Abstract:

A double wall sheath for receiving an arm or leg is separated into longitudinally spaced inflatable air cells for encircling the limb. The cells are connected to a source of air pressure by tubes and normally closed valve means that are opened periodically by timing means to inflate the cells and then are closed simultaneously. Pressure regulatory means are connected with the tubes for delivering progressively less air pressure to each successive cell from one end of the sheath to the other to promote flow of body fluid along the limb.

Appl. No.:

7/193539

Inventors:

Edward S. Wright - Pittsburgh PA
Sonja J. Wright - Sewickley PA

Assignee:

Wright Linear Pump, Inc. - Imperial PA

International Classification:

A61F 500

US Classification:

128 64

Abstract:

An improved method and apparatus for promoting flow of a body fluid within a human limb, which has been subjected to an amputation procedure, wherein a novel distal inflatable cell having a pair of inflatable cell portions, one of which encompasses such a limb adjacent the stump end thereof and the other of which extends transversely across the stump end thereof, is utilized in a novel method of therapy to treat Lymphedema and similar fluid accumulation disorders of the extremities.

Filed:

Mar 20, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/028469

Inventors:

Edward S. Wright - Allegheny PA

Assignee:

Wright Linear Pump, Inc. - Imperial PA

International Classification:

A61H 700

US Classification:

128 64

Abstract:

An adjustment apparatus for adjusting the pressure applied in the multiple cells of an inflatable medical garment with the pressure adjustment being achieved by a drive apparatus interconnecting adjustable pressure regulating devices, the drive apparatus and the respective pressure regulating devices including adjustment elements which permit adjustment of each pressure regulating device independently of others of the pressure regulating devices such that the drive apparatus may be utilized to adjust, in unison, multiple pressure regulating devices having selectively variable pressure differential relationship between any pair of the multiple pressure regulating devices.

US Patent:

40201899, Apr 26, 1977

Filed:

Jul 2, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/592365

Inventors:

Edward S. Wright - Pittsburgh PA
John W. Angstadt - Williamsville NY
Gerald L. Garrow - Buffalo NY

Assignee:

Blaw-Knox Food and Chemical Equipment, Inc. - Buffalo NY

International Classification:

A23L 110

US Classification:

426438

Abstract:

A new process for the continuous deep-fat cooking of a food to produce a processed comestible wherein the food is passed through an elongated cooking zone. Hot cooking oil is introduced and withdrawn from the cooking zone at a plurality of points to produce hydraulic effects which insure proper contact of the food with the cooking oil. Said cooking oil is continuously flowed upwardly through a plurality of spaced points dispersed over the entire bottom surface of the entrance end of the cooking zone and continuously withdrawn downwardly downstream therefrom. Withdrawn oil may be reintroduced directly without being reheated at a point downstream of the point of withdrawal in addition to being recycled to the source of heated cooking oil.
