Publication number: 20240092128Abstract: An articulating tire valve install-removal tool and related methods for use. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool has a body comprising an outer perimeter, an inner recess, a threaded member, a linkage, and a contact member. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool components are connected to each other and secured within the body so one or more components can rotate around one or more axes. Together these components facilitate in the valve being installed and removed perpendicular or generally perpendicular to the valve hole on the wheel. The articulating tire valve stem tool includes a linkage assembly that is attached to the body to facilitate in ensuring the valve is installed and removed with the valve perpendicular to the valve hole in the wheel rim.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: George Walter Tatum, Graham Kendall Snyder, Mackenzie John Owen Snyder, Scott R. Lakin, Kristopher Jon Soderstrom, Brian Patrick Rigney

Patent number: 11919338Abstract: An air chuck includes a body and a valve core interface. The body includes output, interface, and input ports. The body defines a first passageway that extends between the output and interface ports. The input port defines a second passageway that is in fluid communication with the first passageway. The valve core interface is slidably coupled with the body and is slidable between extended and retracted positions. The valve core interface includes a shaft and a knob. The shaft includes proximal and distal ends. The distal end is at least partially disposed in the first passageway. The knob is coupled with the proximal end of the shaft. The shaft is rotatably coupled with the body and is selectively rotatable in either tightening or loosening directions via the knob. The distal end of the shaft comprises a grasping feature that is configured to grasp a valve core of a valve stem.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: DILL AIR CONTROLS PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Sven A. Soltmann, Brian P. Rigney, Scott R. Lakin, David Milo Hollinger, Graham Kendall Snyder, Kristopher Jon Soderstrom

Publication number: 20230235997Abstract: The invention is a Mechanical Broadhead with adjustable expansion and related methods for using the mechanical broadhead are disclosed. According to an aspect, a mechanical broadhead includes a body that defines an interior space for holding the blades. The broadhead also includes an expansion adjustment mechanism. The blades each define a protrusion that extends substantially along a length of the body. The rotation of the first blade and the second blade extends in substantially opposing directions. The broadhead also includes a protruding member that prevents reverse rotation. The blade mechanisms comprise a resilient member that engages upon impact for starting rotation of the first and second blades after target penetration. The blade mechanisms comprise a blade tip member that engages after initial rotation for completing rotation. The adjustment feature prevents further rotation of the first and second blade to a desired blade expansion width.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Kristopher Jon Soderstrom, Nicholas Demetrious Paliouras

Publication number: 20220151354Abstract: Electronic device cases with tracks for holding accessories and related methods are disclosed. According to an aspect, an electronic device case includes a body that defines an interior space for holding an electronic device. The case also includes a track attached to a side of the body and comprising first and second rails. The rails each define a protrusion that extends substantially along a length of the track. The protrusion of the first rail and the protrusion of the second rail extend in substantially opposing directions. The case also includes a locking mechanism comprising a resilient member that engages the first and second rails for biasing the first and second rails in a first position for holding an accessory. The resilient member resists movement of the first and second rails to a second position for release or receipt of the accessory.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Kristopher Jon Soderstrom, Siegfried Lauren

Publication number: 20210234569Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a device case that provides for removable attachment of one or more accessories. Specifically, the attachment case comprises one or more tracks that allow a variety of accessories to be attached and/or removed as desired by the user. In this way, one or more accessories can be added, removed, oriented, and/or arranged depending on a particular use of the device. Advantageously, each accessory locks into place on the track such that it is fully supported. In this way, one or more accessories can be releasably attached to a device case as desired by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2020Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Kristopher Jon Soderstrom, Siegfried Lauren
