Patent number: 9605469Abstract: A door assembly for a motorized vehicle includes a door configured to move between an open position and a closed position, a first member defining a first axis, and a first support member pivotally coupled to the door and defining a second axis. A linkage assembly includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm and the second arm are pivotally coupled to one another, where the first arm is coupled to the first member at a location offset from the first axis and the second arm defines a first slot. A cross member has a first end and a second end. The first end has a first pin for slidably engaging the first slot and the second end being coupled to the first member. The door is movable between the open and closed positions as the first member pivots about the first axis.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: The Braun CorporationInventors: Andrew Henseleit, Justin Gilmore

Publication number: 20160376732Abstract: A plurality of first fibers and a plurality of second fibers are provided. A coefficient of friction of the second fibers is greater than a coefficient of friction of the first fibers. Abrasion resistance characteristics of the second fibers are greater than abrasion resistance properties of the first fibers. A gripping ability of the second fibers is greater than a gripping ability of the first fibers. The first fibers and the second fibers are passed through a convergence duct such that the first fibers pick up the second fibers. A false twist is imparted to the combination of the plurality of first fibers and the plurality of second fibers. The false twist is removed from the combination of the plurality of first fibers and the plurality of second fibers to form the blended yarn.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Inventors: Justin Gilmore, David E.

Patent number: 8171713Abstract: A rope comprising a plurality of yarns, where at least one of the plurality of yarns is a blended yarn comprising a plurality of first fibers and a plurality of second fibers. Abrasion resistance properties of the blended yarn are greater than abrasion resistance properties of the first fibers. A coefficient of friction of the first fibers is less than a coefficient of friction of the second fibers. The second fibers substantially define abrasion resistance and coefficient of friction characteristics of the at least one blended yarn. When the rope contacts a structural member, the first set of fibers of the at least one blended yarn substantially bear tension loads on the at least one blended yarn and at least a portion of the second fibers of the at least one blended yarn substantially lie between the set of first fibers and the structural member.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Samson Rope TechnologiesInventors: Justin Gilmore, David E.

Patent number: 7735308Abstract: A blended yarn and method of making the same. The blended yarn is formed into a rope adapted to engage structural member and comprises a plurality of first fibers and a plurality of second fibers. The abrasion resistance properties of the second fibers are greater than abrasion resistance properties of the first fibers. A coefficient of friction of the second fibers is less than a coefficient of friction of the first fibers. The first fibers extend along the length of the blended yarn and the second fibers do not extend along the length of the blended yarn. A plurality of blended yarns are combined to form the rope such that, when the rope contacts the structural member, the second fibers of the blended yarn are primarily in contact with the structural member and the first set of fibers substantially bear tension loads on the rope.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2008Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Samson Rope TechnologiesInventors: Justin Gilmore, David E.

Patent number: 7367176Abstract: A rope and method of making the same. The rope is adapted to engage a structural member and comprises a plurality of yarns. At least one of the yarns comprises a first set of first fibers and a second set of fibers. The first and second sets of fibers are combined using a false twisting process such that the second fibers do not extend the length of the rope and the second fibers indirectly bear tension loads on the rope. The first fibers substantially determine load bearing properties of the rope. The second fibers substantially determine abrasion resistance properties and a coefficient of friction of the rope. Abrasion resistance properties of the second fibers are greater than abrasion resistance properties of the first fibers. A coefficient of friction of the second fibers is less than a coefficient of friction of the first fibers.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2006Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Samson Rope TechnologiesInventors: Justin Gilmore, David E.

Patent number: 7134267Abstract: A rope and method of making the same. The rope comprises a plurality of yarns. At least one of the yarns comprises first and second sets of fibers. The first fibers are formed of a first material, and the second set of second fibers at least partly surrounds the first fibers. The second fibers are formed of a second material. The first material defines a set of operating characteristics adapted to bear tension loads on the rope. The second material defines a set of operating characteristics adapted to affect at least one surface characteristic of the rope.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Samson Rope TechnologiesInventors: Justin Gilmore, David E.

Patent number: 7084401Abstract: A smoke detector is shown in which blue light is directed through a scattering volume (9) from a radiation emitter (3) and infra-red radiation is also directed through the scattering volume (9) from an infra-red source (3A). Radiation forward-scattered by any particles in the scattering volume (9) is directed by a mirror (13) onto a photodiode (15) which produces an output to control means (16). The emitters (3,3A) are pulsed at different frequencies, enabling the control means (16) to produce separate signals (21,23) corresponding respectively to the scattered blue light and the scattered infra-red radiation. For smoke particles, significantly more blue light is scattered than infra-red radiation, but this is not so much the case for non-smoke particles. A comparator (25) takes the ratio of the two signals (21,23) to produce a smoke-dependent warning output.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2002Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Kidde IP Holdings LimitedInventors: Kenneth Frazer Bell, Justin Gilmore
