Everett Hughes has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10858559
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to a mixing system for mixing a dry material with a liquid. The mixing system includes a supply of dry material and a supply of liquid. An infinitely variable metering device meters the dry material into the liquid. A sensor senses the ratio of dry material to liquid. The sensor is operatively connected to the metering device to control the metering device to obtain a desired ratio of dry material to liquid. The dry material is dispensed volumetrically by volume of liquid to form the desired ratio of dry material to liquid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 28, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2020

  • Patent number: 9296571
    Abstract: The subject invention provides an improved material spreader assembly for mounting in a truck bed of a vehicle. A hopper carrying a material to be dispersed is supported in the truck bed. An auger is disposed within the hopper to convey the material towards an outlet. A spinner assembly is longitudinally spaced from the outlet of the hopper. An extension assembly extends between the outlet of the hopper and the spinner assembly conveying the material therebetween. This allows for a cab-forward placement of the hopper and frame thereby moving the weight of the filled hopper and the frame forward towards the front of the vehicle resulting in improved weight distribution.
