Patent number: 11624180Abstract: A drain protector having a flexible adsorbent pad, a raised insert, and a cover is described. The pad and the insert each includes aligned apertures. The raised insert is positioned over the flexible adsorbent pad or within the aperture of the flexible adsorbent pad. The cover is connected to the flexible adsorbent pad, a raised insert, forming a space over the insert. The drain protector is made from adsorbent material for blocking sediment, collecting contaminants and filtering water into a drain. The cover of the drain protector reinforces the sheet and insert to protect against damage from traffic over the drain protector.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: HALENHARDY LLCInventors: Donald L. Beaver, Jr., Joshua D. Beaver, Troy L. Beaver, Patrick E. Healy, Katlyn Palmer, Brandon W. Guida

Patent number: 8230530Abstract: A protective cover for drains and other holes is provided which prevents spills and unwanted liquids from flowing therein. The protective cover includes a durable backing layer and a pliable, tacky sealing layer adjacent a portion of the durable backing layer which conforms and adheres to a surface surrounding the drain to reduce or eliminate the flow of liquids into the drain. The pliable, tacky sealing layer can have a periphery inside the periphery of the durable backing layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: New Pig CorporationInventors: R. Douglas Evans, Jr., Patrick E. Healy, Matthew J. Huff

Publication number: 20070207294Abstract: A shapeable absorbent mat having an absorbent layer and a forming layer secured to the absorbent layer is disclosed. The forming layer is made from a shapeable material, which may be liquid impermeable. The absorbent layer may be secured to the forming layer by an adhesive layer disposed between the absorbent layer and the forming layer. The shapeable absorbent mat formed fitted to almost any shape which makes the mat well suited be wrapped around pipes, fittings and other equipment. The shapeable absorbent mat may also be shaped into a pan to catch leaks and drips. Additionally, the shapeable absorbent mat may be used forming side up to form a trough to channel liquids away.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2007Publication date: September 6, 2007Applicant: New Pig CorporationInventors: Raymond L. Fedeli, Heidi Gretchen Shetler, Patrick E. Healy

Publication number: 20040237180Abstract: A device for providing a temporary cover for drains and other holes is provided, according to the present invention, to prevent liquids from flowing therein. The inventive temporary covering device generally includes a sheet of flexible, liquid impermeable material having top and bottom surfaces. A pliable, liquid impermeable material is attached to the bottom surface of the sheet about a peripheral edge of the sheet. The pliable, liquid impermeable material includes an exposed surface that is tacky so that it may adhere to a surface surrounding the drain or other hole to prevent the flow of liquid therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2003Publication date: December 2, 2004Applicant: New Pig CorporationInventors: R. Douglas Evans, Patrick E. Healy

Publication number: 20030203164Abstract: An anti-fatigue mat is provided having a layer of absorbent material attached face-to-face to a layer of cushioning material. The layer of absorbent material has liquid absorbent properties, while the layer of cushioning material has shock absorption properties and is preferably liquid impermeable. While the layer of cushioning material may inherently have some liquid absorbent properties, its primary function is for shock absorption. The layer of absorbent material includes top and bottom surfaces, with the layer of cushioning material attached to the bottom surface of the layer of absorbent material. In one form, since the inventive mat may incur moderate to high foot traffic, a layer of wear-resistant material is attached to the top surface of the layer of absorbent material to increase the useful life of the inventive mat.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2003Publication date: October 30, 2003Applicant: New Pig CorporationInventors: Patrick E. Healy, R. Douglas Evans, Raymond L. Fedeli, Heidi G. Shetler

Patent number: 5771507Abstract: An extendible drain closure device has a plurality of telescoped hollow tubular members. The outermost hollow tubular member is a main body which has a base portion sized to seat down into a drain opening and an upper flange having a recessed portion. The main body is sized such that the upper flange is flush with the top of the drain opening. Multiple hollow tubular members are positioned within the main body in a telescopically operative manner with the innermost hollow tubular member having a stop ring which seats into the recessed portion of the flange. The top of the extendible drain closure device is thus flush with the top of the drain opening when the device is in a telescopically retracted position. A handle, which can be hinged so that it lies flat when not in use, is provided on the stop ring which may grasped and pulled upwardly to deploy the extendible drain closure device in a telescopically extended position.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1997Date of Patent: June 30, 1998Assignee: New Pig CorporationInventors: Patrick E. Healy, Brian Christopher Schmidt

Patent number: 5743674Abstract: A device for building a berm to contain and absorb a leak or spill has a plurality of corner members each having an elongated member spaced there between. The elongated members are formed from a pliable strip having a vinyl housing. The housing has a hollow center provided longitudinally therein which is filled with an absorbent material such as an absorbent sock or mat. Openings are provided in the elongated members along the side of the housing nearer the spill or leak. The elongated members are sized and cut at the workplace to form a berm of sufficient size to meet the present spill containment problem. Once the side members and corner members have been selected and arranged, they are secured to the building floor by a caulking compound. Strapping material can then be applied, if necessary, to seal the joints between the corner members and the side members of the berm.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1996Date of Patent: April 28, 1998Assignee: New Pig CorporationInventor: Patrick E.
