Patent number: 11252970Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for assembling food products. More particularly, the invention relates to apparatus and methods for associating foodstuff and liquid with a base. Foodstuff may include food items such as meats, vegetables, cheeses, amongst others. Liquids include those food items that have a low viscosities (e.g. sauces, dressings, oils), high viscosities (e.g. peanut butter, frosting), and anything in between. A base can be anything on which foodstuff or liquid may be associated (e.g. bread, cake, cookies, pizza dough, a bowl in which to place foodstuff).Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Picnic Works, Inc.Inventors: Colton Anderson, Brian Michael De Vitis, Kyu Sung Han, Emmett Walter Lalish, Garett Ochs, Kort Edward Reinecke, Cole Clark Rogers, Derek David Soike, Nicholas Alan Halverson Spada, Sage Paladeni Van Tilburg, Andrea Margaret Willson, Clayton Wood, Nicholaus Clarendon Wright, Shiyu Xia

Patent number: 6616117Abstract: A height adjustable seat suspension having first and second bases connected by a linkage assembly with an air spring and shock disposed between the bases. The shock dampens vertical movement of the bases and the air spring increases in air volume to raise the seat height of the suspension and decreases in air volume to lower the seat height of the suspension. A threaded rod is also included as part of the shock which is threadably engaged with a collar that is rotated by a drive source. The engagement between the threaded portions of the rod and collar axially repositions the rod with respect to said collar to change the effective length of, the shock.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2002Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: Sears Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Dennis J. Gryp, Dale Ropp, Colton Anderson
