Appl. No.:

09/663234

Inventors:

Thomas Hatch - Lexington KY 40515

International Classification:

B65B 6100

US Classification:

53410, 53426, 53450, 53474, 604110, 604191

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for producing a single use syringe. A tube, open at both ends, is provided. A plurality of needles fixed to a tether in spaced-apart relation are also provided, each needle having a proximal and a distal end. The tether and plurality of fixed needles are then deployed by introducing a first end of the tether into a first end of the tube and translating the first end of the tether to the second end of the tube thereby deploying the needles in spaced-apart relation along the length of the tube. A predetermined fluid volume is introduced into the tube and the tube is sealed at spaced-apart intervals to create a web comprising individual single use syringes, each single use syringe comprising a single needle and a fluid volume.

US Classification:

604181, 604110, 604200, 604212, 604213, 604215, 604217

Abstract:

Disclosed is a single-use syringe comprising a needle housing, a bore-containing fluid-delivery needle and a volume-containing element. The needle housing has a top surface to which the volume-containing element is attached, a needle attachment side to which the bore-containing needle is attached, and a fluid delivery channel in communication between the top surface and the needle attachment side. The volume-containing element is fluid-tight but for communication with the fluid-delivery and a filling port. Embodiments are disclosed which include vapor-permeable portions which facilitate lyophilization of materials in situ.

International Classification:

A47L 13/10
E03D 9/00

US Classification:

1510494, 15104001, 152101

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices and methods for cleaning, disinfecting, or sanitizing a toilet bowl surface or other surface. The device features a sheath having a first surface and second surface. The sheath is capable of assuming two positions. In said first position the first surface faces inward toward itself defining a first opening and a first chamber. In the second position the second surface faces inward towards itself defining a second opening and a second chamber and the first surface faces outward. The sheath is moved from the first position into the second position by inverting it over a flexible head attached to a hollow wand. A roughening agent is affixed to the first surface for cleaning toilet bowl surfaces and other surfaces. A cleaning, disinfecting or sanitizing agent can also be applied to the first surface of the sheath.

International Classification:

A47L 13/17

US Classification:

1510494, 1510493, 15227, 15228

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices and methods for cleaning, dusting or applying disinfectants to a surface. The device features a sheath having a first surface and a second surface. The sheath is capable of assuming two positions. In said first position the first surface faces inward toward itself defining a first opening and a first chamber. In the second position the second surfaces faces inward towards itself defining a second opening and a second chamber and the first surfaces faces outward. At least one pad element is affixed to the first surface for cleaning, dusting or applying disinfectants as said sheath assumes the second position. A seal is associated with at least one of the first and second surfaces to close said first chamber for storing the pad element before use and after use.

Inventors:

Thomas Clyde Hatch - Lexington KY, US

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604516

Abstract:

The embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices and methods for administering oral fluids to animals aseptically. The devices features a sheath having a first surface and a second surface. The sheath is capable of assuming two positions. The sheath is moved from the first position into the second position by inverting it over a stomach tube as the stomach tube is inserted into the mouth and esophagus of an animal. A fluid is then administered through the sheath and stomach tube to the animal.
