Title: Innovations by George F Schwoboda
Introduction
George F Schwoboda is an accomplished inventor based in New Brighton, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of medical devices, holding two patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
Schwoboda's latest patents include a serial release mechanism and a drainage monitor embodying the same. This invention features a serial release mechanism, a serial release method, and a discharge monitor that incorporates the mechanism. The design includes first and subsequent actuators that are slidable in a frame between working and withdrawn positions. Springs are utilized to urge the subsequent actuators into their working positions. The mechanism also includes latch tabs carried by the subsequent actuators and triggers that are resiliently pivoted to the frame for releasably retaining the subsequent actuators in their withdrawn positions. A shaft of noncircular cross-section and a plurality of saddles are included for releasing the triggers of the subsequent actuators. These saddles have operating fingers and are rotatable with the shaft, allowing them to slide along the shaft between aligned and non-aligned positions with the triggers. Additionally, saddle springs are employed to resiliently urge the saddles along the shaft into their second positions. Shifter springs carried by the actuators and the frame are effective when any actuator is in working position to displace the succeeding saddle into its first position, enabling subsequent rotation of the shaft to release the trigger.
