Patent number: 11529931Abstract: An adapter that connects with a coupler for a wiper element is configured to connect with a plurality of different wiper arms each having a different wiper arm style. The adapter can be a one-piece body or a multi-piece body having a cavity and openings for receiving distal ends or distal end features of each of the plurality of different wiper arms. The adapter can also include different tabs for engaging with openings, notches or other components on distal ends of each of the plurality of different wiper arms.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2019Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: TRICO PRODUCTS CORPORATIONInventors: Lindsey Tufts, Jr., David Boll, Nicholas E.

Patent number: 11445712Abstract: A grip assembly configured for fixing a reel to a fishing rod includes a front seat grip non-movably fixable to a fishing rod, a gear rack on the front seat grip, a sliding grip movably fixable to the fishing rod and configured to slide in an axial direction of the fishing rod so as to selectively engage the front seat grip, a lever pivotally connected to the sliding grip, and at least one tooth provided on the lever. When the lever is actuated from an open position to a locked position, the at least one tooth engages the gear rack and the lever pulls the sliding grip toward the front seat grip on the fishing rod.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Pure Fishing, Inc.Inventors: William Rabbitt, Lindsey Tufts, Jr., Robert Soreo

Patent number: 11022080Abstract: A pump assembly for a fluid tank extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a cover at an external end, the cover including a flange that extends radially outward of the longitudinal axis, an insertable end opposite the external end along the longitudinal axis, and a rotatable arm that is flexible such that, when the rotatable arm is resiliently bent such that the rotatable arm has a radial extent, from the longitudinal axis, that is less than the flange, the sender assembly is in a compact state in which the insertable end and the flange would be able to move straight along the longitudinal axis, which is coaxial with a center axis of an opening of the fluid tank, from a position where the insertable end initially enters the opening to a position where the flange engages the fluid tank.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: TRICO GROUP, LLCInventors: Robert Soreo, Mike McKee, Lindsey Tufts, Jr., Ryan Gernheuser

Patent number: 10865750Abstract: A sender assembly that has a compact state, which may allow a pump assembly including the sender assembly to be easily inserted into an opening of a fluid tank. For example, the pump assembly may be insertable into the opening of the fluid tank while a longitudinal axis of the pump assembly remains coaxial with the opening. When in the compact state a rotatable arm and a float of the sender assembly may be entirely within or deformable to be within a predetermined envelope that has a radial extent less than the opening of the fluid tank to allow the sender assembly to be inserted straight into the opening. The predetermined envelope may be coaxial with the longitudinal axis and have a cross-section transverse to the longitudinal axis that matches the opening of the tank.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Trico Group, LLCInventors: Robert Soreo, Mike McKee, Lindsey Tufts, Jr., Ryan Gernheuser

Patent number: 9655561Abstract: A sensor array system (10, 30) can include a substrate layer (12, 14) that includes a stretchable and conformable material that is configured to allow spaced apart and interconnected portions thereof to stretch and conform commensurate with movement of the substrate layer (12, 14), such as when attached to a patient's body. A plurality of electrodes (16) are disposed on a contact surface of the substrate layer (12, 14). Electrically conductive paths are also disposed on the substrate layer (14) and extending from each of the electrodes to which it is connected and terminating in an end thereof. The substrate layer may itself include more than one layer, such as including a flexible substrate layer (12) that is affixed to a stretchable material layer (14).Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Cardioinsight Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jason Tilk, Jeffrey S.
