US Patent:

20220175502, Jun 9, 2022

Filed:

Feb 28, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/437098

Inventors:

- EINDHOVEN, NL
Jeffrey GROVES - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

A61C 17/024
A61C 17/02

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for electronic control of an operating level of an oral irrigator, particularly when flow from the oral irrigator is paused. Methods for controlling an operational level include: determining an operational level of the oral irrigator, including whether the operational level is a standby mode; receiving sensor data from one or more sensors; determining whether a key sensor indicator is above, below, or at a threshold. If the key sensor indicator is above a threshold, the operational level is changed to standby mode. If the key sensor indicator is at or below the threshold, the operational level remains at the current level. If the key sensor indicator is below the threshold, and the current operational level is the standby mode, the operational level is changed to the operational level set before entering standby mode.

F21V 21/30

Abstract:

The present subject matter provides a storage system including a storage box and a light assembly. The storage box includes a box base with a mounting structure configured to be coupled to a modular storage system. A lid is coupled to the box base. The light assembly includes a base, a leg, and a light source. The leg is coupled to the base or the lid and is rotatable about a rotation axis. The light source is pivotally coupled to the leg and is rotatable about a rotation axis.

Jeffrey GROVES - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

A61M 3/02
A61C 17/02

Abstract:

A connection mechanism () for connecting a workpiece () to a handle assembly () of an oral care device (). A collet () has an axially extending beam () and a radially extending protrusion (). The protrusion has a latching surface () that prevents disengagement of the workpiece from the handle assembly when in a locked configuration. A cam feature () is configured to convert an axial force exerted on the collet into radial deflection of the beam to transition the connection mechanism to an unlocked configuration in which the latching surface is disengaged from the corresponding surface of the workpiece. The beam is configured to return to the default position after the axial force is released due to strain energy in the beam resulting from the radial deflection.

International Classification:

B65D 21/02
B65D 43/16

Abstract:

A stackable storage system includes a first container, a second container, and a latch moveable between a first position and a second position. The first container includes a projection extending away from the first container along a stacking direction. An edge portion extends from the projection along a plane substantially perpendicular to the stacking direction. The second container includes a recess. The recess receives the projection when the first container and the second container are stacked relative to one another in the stacking direction. The latch overlaps the edge portion with respect to the stacking direction while in the first position to secure the first container and the second container. The latch and edge portion are positioned in a non-overlapping manner relative to one another while the latch is in the second position to permit separation of the first container from the second container.

B27B 9/04
B23D 59/00

Abstract:

A track saw system is configured to make a straight cut in a work piece supported upon a stand. The track saw system includes a base configured for attachment to the stand, the base having an edge against which the work piece is engageable, a track pivotably coupled to the base, a first hinge pivotably coupling the track to the base about a first pivot axis to permit pivoting movement of the track relative to the base in a direction extending away from the base, and a second hinge pivotably coupling the track to the base about a second pivot axis transverse to the first pivot axis to permit pivoting movement of the track relative to the base to adjust a miter angle between the track and the edge.
