20100317254 | YO-YO HAVING A PUSH-BUTTON LOCKING MECHANISM - The invention is a yo-yo that includes a user-actuable locking mechanism. The locking mechanism makes use of a laterally translatable assembly having a push button at each end and a center rotatable spool to which the yo-yo's tether is attached. Using the locking mechanism, a user can set the yo-yo so that the spool is either free to rotate, or must rotate with the yo-yo's sides. The yo-yo is also adapted for use with a spring-powered winder. | 12-16-2010 |

20080215029 | PLATEN PUMP - Disclosed is an infusion pump and a fluid container for expelling a fluid from the fluid container to a patient. The pump comprises a housing having a chamber therein for receiving the fluid reservoir. A first wall is provided on the housing for contacting the fluid reservoir, and a second wall is movable from a first position distanced from the first wall to form the chamber therebetween, and a second position relatively closer to the first wall. Advancing the movable wall from the first position to the second position expels fluid from the collapsible reservoir. Preferably, the first and second walls are provided with non-planar complementary surface configurations for contacting the collapsible reservoir. Retraction mechanisms for retracting the movable wall from the second position to the first position, and user readable indicium of the status of the dispensation cycle are also disclosed. | 09-04-2008 |
20090250124 | PRESSURE REGULATOR - A variable device for regulating the outlet pressure of a fluid from a valve body, includes a pressure-sensing chamber having a wall formed by a resilient self-restoring diaphragm which is responsive to pressure in the chamber. A valve element connected to the diaphragm controls flow into the chamber. Increased pressure in the chamber decreases the flow into the chamber and decreasing pressure increases flow whereby fluid flow out from the chamber is maintained at a desired pressure. The outlet pressure is adjusted by deflecting the diaphragm in a direction to open the valve while permitting a section of the diaphragm connected to the valve member to remain responsive to the pressure in the chamber. An adjustment cover is provided to adjustably deflect the diaphragm and includes a catch mechanism to allow adjustment of the fluid outlet pressures and also retain the device at a desired value. An indicator arrangement may be provided to visually indicate the fluid outlet pressure. | 10-08-2009 |
