20130140260 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VENTING, PRIMING AND MODIFYING A FLOW RATE OF FLUID FROM A CONTAINER - An expandable container system including a container, an expandable nipple and a one-way valve. The expandable nipple is attached to the first end of the container and the valve is attached to a second end of the container. A counteracting bias force is generated within the container and a first fluid is drawn in through the valve by extending the expandable nipple. When the expandable nipple is released, the expandable nipple is biased back to an unextended state, and an increase in pressure created by the counteracting bias force induces a second fluid to flow out of an outlet in the expandable nipple. | 06-06-2013 |

The cover may include a fastener for attaching the cover to an object. | 11-14-2013 |
20130306632 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REGULATING PRESSURE IN A CONTAINER - A method and apparatus for venting and compressing a fluid. The apparatus comprising a valve having a vent and a compressible element attached to the vent. The vent and the compressible element define a flow-through channel therein. The compressible element has an internal space adapted to be elastically compressed and expanded. The valve is further adapted to regulate a pressure in a container when a predetermined pressure is applied to the compressible element of the valve. | 11-21-2013 |
20130320164 | DOUBLE ACTING SUCTION CUP - A double suction cup having a first suction cup with a first internal face and a second suction cup having a second internal face. The first suction cup is attached to the second suction cup via an interconnecting base member. At least one protrusion is disposed on at least one of the internal faces of the suction cups to prevent the first or second suction cup from completely flattening and to maintain a tight vacuum on the object the first and second suction cup is attached to. | 12-05-2013 |
20140082819 | INFANT BODYSUIT - A one-piece bodysuit for an infant. The infant bodysuit having a first panel, and a second panel attached to the first panel. At least one fastener is provided to attach the first panel to the second panel. The first panel is attached at peripheral edges to the second panel to define an opening into which an infant torso is received. The second panel has a fabric weight thickness and thermal property different from a fabric weight thickness and thermal property of the first panel. | 03-27-2014 |
20140082820 | INFANT BODYSUIT - A one-piece bodysuit for an infant having a first and second panel. At least one of the first or second panels is a multi-ply panel. At least one fastener is provided to attach the first panel to the second panel. The first panel is attached at peripheral edges to the second panel to define an opening into which an infant torso is received. The first and second panels have a fabric weight thickness and thermal property that may be the same or different. | 03-27-2014 |

20140110293 | CASSETTE FOR DISPENSING PLEATED TUBING - A cassette for use in dispensing a pleated tubing. The cassette includes an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with an open central cylindrical core. The annular body includes an inner wall, an angular wall a bottom wall and an outer wall. The annular cover has an outer wall and a ledge that extends radially inward from the outer wall and over the annular body that defines a gap between an inner edge of the ledge and the inner wall of the annular body. An inter-engagement mechanism is provided on the annular body and on opposite edges of the annular cover that cooperates to secure the cover to the body. At least one aperture is provided in the angular wall to enable ventilation of the air. | 04-24-2014 |
20140150349 | ADJUSTABLE WIDTH BARRIER - A barrier has an expandable width barrier having opposing first and second ends. A locking arm is pivotably coupled to the expandable width barrier at the first end and slidably coupled to the expandable width barrier at the second end. The locking arm may be an adjustable-length construction. The pivoting of the locking arm causes the barrier to move between locked and unlocked states. When the locking arm is pivoted to lock the barrier, it causes the barrier to linearly expand a supplemental amount and fits the barrier to opposing sides of a passageway opening. | 06-05-2014 |
20140251941 | LIDS FOR SPILLPROOF CONTAINER ASSEMBLIES - A spillproof container assembly includes a container body and a lid body that is adapted to be fastened onto the container body by screwing. Both the container body and the lid body are advantageously provided with outwardly extending wing portions for enhancing the grippability of and properly orienting the container assembly for small children. The outwardly extending wing portions of the container body are aligned with the outwardly extending wing portions of the lid body. The lid body is provided with an acoustic waveguide, and sound generating structure is provided in communication with the acoustic waveguide for creating an audible feedback when the lid body has been tightened onto the container body to a predetermined relative position and tightness. The acoustic waveguide further functions as a viewing port that provides a visual feedback so that a user can visually verify the position of the lid body with respect to the container body. In addition, the wing portions of the lid body are designed to slightly interfere with and cam over respective upper platforms on the wing portions of the container body so that a user will be provided with a tactical feedback as a lid body is approaching an optimal amount of tightness with respect to the container body. | 09-11-2014 |
