20090100806CASSETTE AND APPARATUS FOR PACKING DISPOSABLE OBJECTS INTO AN ELONGATED TUBE OF FLEXIBLE MATERIAL - A cassette (04-23-2009
20100102101Paper toweling dispenser apparatus - Toweling dispenser apparatus including a toweling support roller carrying a movable cutter blade. A switch is actuated after a user pulls on toweling to rotate the toweling support roller and transport the toweling. After some rotation of the roller has occurred, an electric switch is closed and energizes an electric motor to drive the roller and reduce the force required by the user to rotate the roller and actuate the cutter blade to sever a towel from the toweling.04-29-2010
20100301157Multi-function paper toweling dispenser - A paper toweling dispenser selectively operable to dispense paper toweling from a roll of paper toweling employing a plurality of alternative operational modes.12-02-2010
20110000172CASSETTE AND APPARATUS FOR PACKING DISPOSABLE OBJECTS INTO AN ELONGATED TUBE OF FLEXIBLE MATERIAL - A cassette (01-06-2011
20110101291Wire Installation Tool For Heating Wire Support Meshing - A tool for installing a heating wire in a floor substrate of the type having receiving means opened toward a surface thereof to receive a heating wire comprises a support with a handle portion to be manually handled by a user. A contact surface is related to the support, the contact surface adapted to contact the floor or floor substrate during displacement of the tool along the floor substrate. An interface is between the handle portion and a heating wire. The interface is adapted to contact the heating wire such that a given pressure applied on the handle portion by the user during the displacement of the tool along the floor substrate is converted by the interface into local engagement of the heating wire in at least one of the receiving means. A method for installing the heating wire using the tool is also provided.05-05-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100065548HEATING WIRE SUPPORT MESHING AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING A HEATED SURFACE WTH SAME - A heating wire support meshing and a method of constructing a heated surface, particularly a floor surface therewith, is described. The heating wire support meshing comprises one or more mats formed by transversely spaced parallel rows of wire support bridge elements interconnected together at their crossings. The bridge elements have electric heating wire support slots to receive and guide one or more electric heating wires along one or more desired paths. Bottom support formations extend along a bottom planar surface of the mat. Top support formations lie in a top planar surface of the mat. The wire support slots are adapted to support the one or more electric heating wires spaced below the top support formations. The support meshing also acts as a reinforcement of a sub floor on which the support meshing is installed.03-18-2010

20110138805CONJUGATE CURVE PROFILES FOR VANE ARMS, MAIN-ARMS, AND UNISON RINGS - A turbocharger assembly comprises a variable-vane assembly. The variable-vane assembly includes a unison ring with vane arms and/or a main-arm which adjust the setting angle of vanes. Vane arm-engaging elements and main-arm-engaging elements in the unison ring engage ends of the vane arms and the main-arm, respectively. Each vane arm-engaging element comprises an inner contact surface that engages an outer contact surface of the respective vane arm. The main-arm-engaging element comprises an inner actuation surface that engages an outer actuation surface of the main-arm. The inner contact surface and the outer contact surface and/or the inner actuation surface and the outer actuation surface may comprise conjugate curve profiles, such as involute curve profiles based on the involute of a circle. Use of conjugate curve profiles may result in rolling movement between the unison ring and vane arms and/or main arm, which may reduce friction occurring during pivoting of the vanes.06-16-2011
