Patent number: 10046949Abstract: A deflection unit for guiding and deflecting the support apparatus of an elevator system includes a deflection roller and an axle which is mounted on a carrier and on which the deflection roller is mounted and is freely rotatable. The axle has an axle head that axially secures the axle on one end. For torsion-free mounting of the axle, a securing member is bolted onto the carrier and supported on an anti-rotation safeguard section arranged on the axle head. A horseshoe-shaped retaining part as a retaining means for axially securing the axle on the carrier is mounted on the axle on the end opposite from the axle head. An annular securing member, which is connected by bolts to the retaining part, is used for securing the retaining part.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2013Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: INVENTIO AGInventors: Christof Moser, Carlos Latorre Marcuz, Gert Silberhorn, Steven Bian, Wayne Pringle, Greg Kennedy, Sergio Guslandi, Peter Schwarer

Publication number: 20140274492Abstract: At least one embodiment of the invention describes a magnetic juggling apparatus that includes at least a first juggling structure and a second juggling structure, wherein each juggling structure has a front face, a back face, four or more non-magnetic sides, four or more rounded corners between each of the four or more non-magnetic sides respectively, a hollow opening and four or more magnetic sources of an even number. The magnetic juggling apparatus allows a user to manipulate the first juggling structure or the second juggling structure, or the first juggling structure and the second juggling structure simultaneously to re-arrange a first magnetic pattern or a second magnetic pattern through acceptance of at least one action from the group consisting of a rotational action, a pushing action, a pulling action and a sliding action.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventor: GREG KENNEDY

Patent number: 8430244Abstract: The present invention relates to adhesive-based battery isolation systems and methods of use. Embodiments of the present invention include utilizing one or more adhesive members to electrically isolate a used battery or electrical storage device such that it may be positioned back within an open package for storage without exposure to moisture. One embodiment of the present invention relates to an electrical storage and isolation system including an electrical storage device, a storage compartment, and at least one adhesive member. The storage compartment may be any form of storage compartment with a releasable opening such as conventional retail plastic package or a flexible retort type package. The system may include one or more adhesive members for use in electrically isolating an electrical storage device.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2007Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Inventors: Doug Kennedy, Greg Kennedy

Patent number: 8376570Abstract: A portable illumination system comprising distal and proximal members rotatably coupled to one another. The rotatable coupling between the members includes resistive rotational feedback across a plurality of independent rotational regions between the members. A rotational switching mechanism is configured to switch between an activated state and a deactivated state. The activated state includes an electrical coupling between an electrical power source and an electro-optical output device across a plurality of independent rotational regions between the members. The plurality of independent rotational regions of the activated state corresponds to a linear or lengthwise alignment between the distal activated indicator and the activated proximal indicator. The plurality of independent rotational regions of the resistive rotational feedback may be coordinated with the plurality of independent rotational regions of the activated state.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Tactical Lighting Solutions, LLCInventors: Douglas Kennedy, Greg Kennedy

Patent number: 8002430Abstract: One embodiment relates to a portable article illumination system with an enclosure disposed between openings in the interior and external surfaces of a portable article. A removable illumination device may be disposed within the enclosure such as a selectably engageable portable lighting device. The interior and exterior openings may each be substantially covered by transparent and opaque members respectively. The transparent members cover the interior and exterior openings and are disposed proximal to the enclosure with respect to the opaque members. The transparent members may further provide optical pathways between the enclosure and the interior and/or exterior region. The opaque members substantially cover the transparent members thereby optically obstructing the optical pathways which extend from the enclosure through the corresponding transparent member to the interior or exterior region.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2009Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Tactical Lighting Solutions, LLCInventors: Greg Kennedy, Douglas Kennedy
