Wire Loop Forming Apparatus And Method

US Patent:
5040573, Aug 20, 1991
Filed:
Sep 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/584600
Inventors:
John S. Shepard - Fort Collins CO
Assignee:
Inventions Unlimited, Inc. - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
B21F 106
US Classification:
140104
Abstract:
Apparatus and method are disclosed for forming a loop in a wire that is particularly suited for attaching a wire to a ceiling suspension bracket and allow free swinging movement of the wire on the bracket. The apparatus includes a wire storage and feed bin, support for each wire during the loop forming, a twist member, a control head that moves the wire to form a bend, a drive that rotates the twist member through a selected number of revolutions to twist the bend to form the loop, coils and a tail in the wire. Surface portions of the control head confine the movement of the wire during the formation of the coils and loop. A control circuit for the drive motor causes the motor to turn only a selected number of revolutions to form a selected number of coils. A final positioning assembly causes the twist member to stop at the same position after each loop forming operation.

Denture Abutment & Retention System

US Patent:
2009026, Oct 22, 2009
Filed:
Jun 22, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/488677
Inventors:
John S. Shepard - Fort Collins CO, US
International Classification:
A61C 8/00
US Classification:
433174
Abstract:
A denture retention system includes a denture and an abutment. The denture has an inner channel with an elastic liner having inserts. Each insert has an O-ring and a channel for capturing the O-ring. The abutment has a shaft, a head at one end of the shaft and a base at the other end of the shaft. The head has an undercut surface that extends radially outwardly from the shaft. The O-ring and undercut surface overlap and engage one another to retain the denture in the cavity. The abutment has a threaded portion at the other end of the shaft portion that threads into an implant or implants into a jaw, or a threaded aperture that receives a threaded portion on an implant.

US Patent:
2009026, Oct 22, 2009
Filed:
Sep 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/207679
Inventors:
John S. Shepard - Fort Collins CO, US
International Classification:
A61C 8/00
US Classification:
433174
Abstract:
A denture retention system includes a denture and an abutment. The denture has an inner channel with an elastic liner having shaped cavities. The cavities have a shaft, a head at the closed end of the shaft and a concave ring between two convex sections on the shaft. The abutment has a shaft, a head at one end of the shaft, a protruding ring between two concave sections on the shaft and a threaded portion at the other end of the shaft portion. The surface of the cavity overlaps and engages the surface of the abutment to retain the denture in the cavity. The threaded part of the abutment threads into an implant or implants into a jaw. The cavity expands when the abutment is inserted or removed from the cavity, and contracts after insertion.

US Patent:
5595485, Jan 21, 1997
Filed:
Nov 21, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/342598
Inventors:
John S. Shepard - Fort Collins CO
Assignee:
John S. Shepard, D.D.S., P.C. - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
A61C 1100

Abstract:
A jaw movement recording device, articulator and methods disclosed utilize a lower marking plate with front, rear, left and right side marking pins that cooperate with an upper marking plate and depressions and a bearing pin in such a way as to give an accurate recording of the movement of a patient's lower jaw in a wafer between the two plates. An articulator has a lower frame with upright side posts having upper pin-like portions and an upper frame with fossa holders and a pliable material that form fossa socket patterns. Tension springs extending between the frames at the front and rear enable a constant tension in forming the fossa socket patterns.

Shelf Bracket

US Patent:
4799643, Jan 24, 1989
Filed:
Aug 13, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/639827
Inventors:
John S. Shepard - Windsor CO
Assignee:
SISU Shelving Corporation - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
A47B 9606
US Classification:
248544
Abstract:
Shelf brackets are each in the form of a unitary body which has a vertical back wall. Defined in the body is a platform that projects outwardly away from the back wall a given distance and is inclined in the outward direction upwardly at an angle substantially between one-half and five degrees with respect to the back wall. Also defined in the body is a ledge that projects outwardly away from that back wall generally parallel to the platform. The ledge is spaced above the platform by an amount to accommodate receipt of a shelf board inserted between the platform and the ledge. Defined in the body is an opening for enabling securement of the body to a mounting surface. A further feature is an enlargement communicating outwardly from that opening that forms a channel which may accommodate receipt of an end of a hanger or the like. As shown, the ledge does not project as far outwardly as the platform.
