Patent CA-2197722-A1 (CA)
Title: Roostertail
Inventor: SULLIVAN JOHN
IPC: B62J15/00
Filed: 1997-02-17
Abstract: ROOSTERTAIL IS A BICYCLE FENDER THAT COVERS THE REAR WHEEL AND PROTECTS THE RIDER FROM GETTING THEIR CLOTHES WET AND DIRTY FROM THE WATER AND GRIT THAT THE REAR TIRE SPRAYS ONTO THE RIDERS BACK.          BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT MOST BICYCLES MADE TODAY EITHER HAVE A FIXED FENDER OR NO FENDER AT ALL, WE FELT THAT OUR TELESCOPIC FENDER WHEN PUSHED INTO A SMALL AREA UNDER THE SEAT WOULD BE MORE EFFICIENT.          I FEEL THAT THIS TYPE OF FENDER WILL BE USEFUL AS IT DOES THE JOB THE SAME AS A REGULAR FENDER BUT IS MUCH LIGHTER IN WEIGHT AND CAN BE PUSED INTO A SMALL PACKAGE UNDER THE SEAT AND THUS OUT OF SIGHT.
Patent CA-2197936-A1 (CA)
Title: Vacuum cleaner and method
Inventor: HAND JAMES C
IPC: A47L11/40
Filed: 1997-02-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a wet/dry carpet cleaner having a large tank assembly for fluids. A bladder containing fresh or cleaning water is positioned in the large tank. Means for dispensing the cleaning water to a brush, and then vacuuming the same and returning the soiled fluid to the recovery tank portion of the tank assembly are also provided. The present invention stems from the development of a brush head assembly which is pivotally secured to the chassis assembly and includes the driving motor, rotating brush, and spray mechanism. The pivotal securement results in the weight of the brush head assembly applying a constant force on the brush throughout the entire cleaning cycle, independent of the amount of fluid contained in the recovery tank or the bladder. Secondarily, the present invention is addressed to configurating and proportioning the bladder to insure a relatively constant load on the nozzle. By balancing the nozzle loading and, therefore, the downward pressure per square inch on the nozzle throughout the cycle to compensate for fluid loss or fluid re-distribution; with the brush loading remaining constant throughout the cycle, consistency is maintained during the entire period while the carpet is being cleaned.

Patent CA-2222214-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid delivery apparatus
Inventor: KRIESEL MARSHALL S
IPC: A61M5/14
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: This invention is an apparatus (370) for accurately infusing fluids into a patient at specific rates over an extended period of time. The apparatus is of a low profile, laminate construction having a stored energy source in the form of a distended membrane (406), which in cooperation with the base (372) of the apparatus defines one or more fluid reservoirs (388) each having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The apparatus (370) further includes a novel, conformable ullage made of formable materials. The conformable ullage (404) uniquely conforms to the shape of elastomeric membrane (406) as the membrane (406) returns to its less distended configuration, and in so doing can move between a central chamber and a toroidal chamber formed in the cover of the apparatus. This arrangement will satisfy even the most stringent medicament delivery tolerance requirements, and will elegantly overcome the limitations of material selection encountered in devices embodying solely rigid ullage construction. Additionally, the infusion cannula (386) of the apparatus is connected to the base (372) in a novel manner which permits expeditious subdermal delivery to the patient via a cannula (386) which extends generally perpendicularly relative to the base.
