Title: Support device in a syringe pump for slidably bearing the free end of the lead screw in a tube
Inventor: BOYNE-AITKEN DAVID E
IPC: A61M5/145
Filed: 2004-04-28
Granted: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A lead screw mounting system for a syringe pump in which a second end of a lead screw is located within a hollow connection tube that connects a drive device engaged with the lead screw to a plunger drive head. A bearing mount is formed at the second end of the lead screw and a split bearing mounted to the bearing mount. The bearing mount has diverging bearing surfaces in an hour glass shape and the bearing has a complementary inner shape. The bearing is larger than the inner diameter of the connection tube and is in constant contact with the tube. During operation, the bearing tends to move up one or the other of the diverging bearing surfaces of the bearing mount depending on which direction the hollow connection tube is moving over the bearing creating a wedge action. The split bearing functions to keep the lead screw concentrically located within the hollow connection tube thereby increasing flow uniformity of the syringe pump.

Abstract: An improved applicator for hair building cosmetic fibers, powders and particles uses a gentle stream of gas to suspend the fibers and waft them onto the user's scalp. A low pressure, low velocity gas stream directed downwards into a mass of fibers in a closed container suspends them. The suspended fibers exit through a small orifice connected with a passageway ending in a nozzle. The suspended fibers are propelled from the nozzle in a directed fashion to settle naturally in a controlled area. If a rubber bulb is used to supply air to suspend the fibers, a user can gently squeeze the bulb to allow controlled puffs of air and fibers to waft onto controlled regions of the scalp. A valve arrangement can be operated to provide an air stream to remove excess deposited fibers from regions of the scalp.
