Laminated Housing For A Portable Hand Held Device
view source
US Patent:

6437238, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:

Feb 28, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/796372
Inventors:

Frank Annerino - Rolling Meadows IL
Sajid Patel - Des Plaines IL
John Bryne - Lake Villa IL
Mark Luzbetak - Kildeer IL
Dan Groebe - Lake Zurich IL
Assignee:

Palm, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:

H05K 500
US Classification:

174 50, 174 66, 220 402, 220241
Abstract:

A laminated housing for a portable hand held device such as a palmtop computer. A metal front cover is bonded with a thermoplastic adhesive to a plastic midframe to form a front housing laminate. A metal rear housing member is bonded with a pressure sensitive adhesive to a plastic substrate to form a rear housing laminate. A latch arrangement including a plurality of latch fingers along the edge attach the front housing laminate with the rear housing laminate. A latch arrangement having a pair of L-shaped latch ribs that engage with a T-shaped latch member by torsion of the L-shaped latch ribs into engagement with pockets adjacent the T-shaped latch member prevent movement of the two housing laminates in relation to one another.

Tube Connector With Three Part Construction And Latching Component

US Patent:

7780201, Aug 24, 2010
Filed:

Oct 13, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/581210
Inventors:

Mark A. Luzbetak - Kildeer IL, US
Donald C. Walker - Mundelein IL, US
Assignee:

Medela Holding AG - Baar
International Classification:

F16L 39/00
US Classification:

285321
Abstract:

A connector for connecting a tube within a receptacle. A latching component fits within the receptacle, and receives a plug member to which the tube is connected. One end of receptacle is adapted, for instance, to be attached to a tube on a motor drive unit of a breast pump assembly, or formed integrally therewith. The opposite end of receptacle receives components of the connector therein. The plug member is inserted into the latching component and has means thereon that engage corresponding means on the latching component such that the plug member is releasably secured within the latching component in a rotatable manner.

Connector For Use In Single And Double Breast Pumping
view source
US Patent:

7824361, Nov 2, 2010
Filed:

Oct 13, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/580465
Inventors:

Mark A. Luzbetak - Kildeer IL, US
Thomas A. Sutrina - Rockford IL, US
Assignee:

Medela Holding AG - Baar
International Classification:

A61M 1/06
US Classification:

604 74
Abstract:

The connector of the present invention provides fewer connections and attachments to a breastpump configured for expressing breast milk from both of a woman's breasts simultaneously, thereby facilitating easier use of the breast pump and yielding fewer pieces for the user to carry or misplace. The connector includes a manifold with four ports. Individual tubes extend from three of the four ports and each has a plug member. One tube engages with a vacuum source and the remaining two tubes engage with a breastshield assembly for double breast pumping. When single breastpumping is desired, one of the two tubes connected to the breastpump assemblies is disconnected and engaged with the dock port of the manifold.

System And Device For Supporting A Breast Shield

US Patent:

7950980, May 31, 2011
Filed:

Oct 19, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/583292
Inventors:

Jill Solberg - Woodstock IL, US
Mark Luzbetak - Kildeer IL, US
Erich Pfenniger - Ebikon, CH
Assignee:

Medela Holding AG - Baar
International Classification:

A41C 3/00
US Classification:

450 36, 604 72, 604 73
Abstract:

A breast shield support is provided which in one embodiment includes a central harness body adapted to hold a breast shield. The central harness body may include three spaced straps connected to or extending from the central harness body. Each of the harness straps includes a clip, for example, for attaching a respective strap to a portion of a nursing brassiere and at least one strap includes a plurality of protrusions or grooves formed along the length of the strap for engaging a respective clip and permitting the clip to be easily adjusted and held in a desired position along the length of the strap.

Method And Apparatus For Minimum Negative Pressure Control, Particularly For Breastpump With Breastshield Pressure Control System
view source
US Patent:

8070715, Dec 6, 2011
Filed:

Apr 11, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/786364
Inventors:

Carr Lane Quackenbush - Prairie Grove IL, US
Michael Dettling - Woodstock IL, US
Mark A. Luzbetak - Kildeer IL, US
Brian H. Silver - Cary IL, US
Thomas A. Sutrina - Rockford IL, US
Peter E. Hartmann - Gooseberry Hill, AU
Leon R. Mitoulas - Cham, CH
Donna T. Geddes - Dianella, AU
Jacqueline C. Kent - Nedlands, AU
Assignee:

Medela Holding AG - Baar
International Classification:

A61M 1/06
US Classification:

604 74
Abstract:

A breastpump, manual or motorized, that includes a mechanism to regulate pressure change, e. g. , vacuum, within a breastshield chamber, including in some cases to a maintained minimum pressure that is less than ambient (atmosphere). The pressure regulator provides control for varying negative pressure between a minimum value and a maximum value (and values in between), or to achieve a specific actually measured negative pressure value within a breastshield.

Self Returning Contamination Barrier

US Patent:

8187227, May 29, 2012
Filed:

Nov 1, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/591276
Inventors:

Mark A. Luzbetak - Kildeer IL, US
Thomas A. Sutrina - Rockford IL, US
Erich Pfenniger - Ebikon, CH
Patrik Bosshard - Buonas, CH
Assignee:

Medela Holding AG - Baar
International Classification:

A61M 37/00
US Classification:

604141, 6048921, 604 74, 604 75, 604310, 604316, 604323, 261 692, 92 48, 92 49, 92 50, 92 96, 92 98 R
Abstract:

A barrier of a vacuum pump prevents contamination from entering a vacuum pump air line. The barrier separates parts of the pump and is moveable between an initial state and a distended state. The barrier is assembled within the pump with a pre-load. When the vacuum source is applied to the barrier, the barrier achieves a distended state and when the vacuum source is released, the barrier incrementally self returns to an initial state. The geometry and material construction of the barrier, along with the pre-load, assists in returning the barrier on its own to the initial state from the distended state.
