Patent number: 11746811Abstract: A connector pin includes a stem extending between a head and an opposite foot. The stem includes a neck having a plurality of sections which may be planar forming edges. A retention member including a collar and arms extending therefrom is retained around said pin, the inner surface of the collar correspondingly configured to the sections and edges of the neck for a frictional fit. The pin is insertable and retained within a receiver in overlapping mats. Pockets in the receiver hold the retention member arms and prevent rotational motion of the retention member. The pin is selectively movable relative to the retention member by rotational motion by application of force to the pin sufficient to overcome the threshold level of friction holding the sections of the neck at the collar. Locking the pin is achieved when extension members of the pin foot are misaligned with the retention member arms.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Signature Systems Group, LLCInventors: Chad H Jones, Marcos Gonzalez

Patent number: 10697130Abstract: Modular floor tiles include a first surface configured to receive weight. The first surface is supported by primary walls interior to and extending the full height of the tiles, and which may be intersecting to form a grid. Secondary walls of a lesser height support the primary walls, may be non-linear such as circular, and may support either side of vertices of intersecting primary walls. Joining members and corresponding receivers in the sides of tiles are dimensioned to engage one another from adjacent tiles to join the tiles and restrict lateral movement. Fastener(s) in each tile are associated with slots and may be selectively moved between unlocked and locked positions to restrict vertical movement. Some embodiments include cable channels with corresponding cover plates, and inclined portions providing ramps. Any number and combination of tiles may be connected to one another to form a modular flooring system.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Signature Systems Group LLCInventors: Chad H Jones, Marcos Gonzalez

Patent number: 9809966Abstract: An ergonomically designed hygienic sprayer or bidet apparatus for use with pre-existing fixtures. The sprayer includes an angled portion with a sprayer head disposed on an underside of the angled portion, resulting in a flow of water from the sprayer head that is substantially between 30° and 60° relative to a longitudinal axis of a body portion of the sprayer. The sprayer also includes an actuator located on the same side of the sprayer as the sprayer head and slip-resistance surfaces. An optional mounting base for securely holding a hygienic sprayer in a manner that may disguise its presence or be more aesthetically pleasing. The mounting base is substantially the same size as the hygienic sprayer. The mounting base may be mounted or secured to multiple types of surfaces near the fixture with which the hygienic sprayer is used.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: DANCO, INC.Inventors: Chad H. Jones, Justin D. Pendleton, Francis L Fave, David C. Singer

Publication number: 20170107725Abstract: A modular mat comprises mirror image layers. At least one fitting receiver is integrally formed in a central portion of each layer, and at least one aperture is formed in a flange portion of each layer. The layers are congruently mated and affixed such that the fitting receiver of one layer is disposed through a corresponding aperture of the flange of the opposite layer. The outer surfaces of the layers comprise traction elements, which may be of different grades, such as industrial grade on one layer and pedestrian grade on the opposing layer. A floor covering system is also disclosed comprising a plurality of modular mats disposed in partially overlapping and interlocking relation with adjacent mats.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: Signature Systems Group, LLCInventors: Chad H. Jones, Andrew Sneeringer, Andrew Wolff, Daniel Himes, Bart Berghuis
