The present disclosure provides a low-profile system and methods for delivering a microneedle array. The delivery system includes a housing that may be secured to and temporarily worn on a patient's skin. A carrier assembly coupled to a microneedle array is received in the housing proximate an applicator device. The carrier assembly is at least releasably secured to the housing and it is typically not attached or otherwise fixed to any portion of the applicator device.

Removable nozzle tips, spray head assemblies including the nozzle tips and liquid spray guns that include the nozzle tips are described herein. The removable nozzle tips provide and define both the liquid nozzle openings and the center air outlets for the center air of the liquid spray guns and the spray head assemblies. The nozzle tips are removably attached over a liquid nozzle port formed in the spray head assembly and/or on the spray gun platform or body using any suitable attachment mechanism. The removable nozzle tips can be removed from the liquid spray gun or the spray head assembly without disturbing the remainder of the spray gun or the spray head assembly.

Handle for a micro-needle device

Micro-needle applicator device

A filtering face-piece respiratorthat includes a mask bodyand a harnessThe mask bodycontains a filtering structurethat is retained in position on the mask bodyby a support structurethat includes a longitudinally-movable, centrally-spaced, transversely-extending memberthat extends from a first sideof the structureto a second sidewithout being joined together by any longitudinally-extending members that hinder movement of the transversely extending memberin the longitudinal direction. The transversely-extending members converge towards each other at east sideof the mask bodyA filtering face-piece respiratorof this construction can allow the mask bodyto readily accommodate the motion of a person's jaw. Workers who use this filtering face-piece respirator may find it much easier to talk to other persons when working. A single mask size also may be able to properly fit to faces of various sizes.

A filtering face-piece respiratorthat comprises a harnessand a mask body. The mask bodyincludes a filtering structureand a support structure. The support structurehas first and second opposing side portionsthat each include a living hinge. The use of living hinges allows the mask body to respond dynamically to wearer jaw movement.

A device that can be used to spread a thin, even coating of liquid material on a surface is provided. In one embodiment the device is adapted to be used to apply floor coating on a floor surface. The device is configured such that the applicator portion of the device applies a generally constant contact force on the surface, even when the force applied by the user on the tool varies.

A hand-held, manually-operated sanding tool for use with a replaceable sheet-like abrasive material, such as sandpaper, includes a base member and one or more clamping mechanisms pivotally connected with opposed ends of the base member. The clamping mechanism(s) include a tensioning member arranged to slidably interface with a corresponding contact surface provided at the end of the base member to tighten the sheet-like abrasive material as it is installed on the tool. Further, the tensioning member positions a leading edge thereof so as to minimize possible harmful contact with a user's finger(s) during loading of the abrasive material.
