Publication number: 20170172272Abstract: A cap apparatus for use by a user to create a spiral wave pattern in hair includes a generally semi-spherical shaped elastic member having an interior face defining an interior cavity configured to receive the user's head, and a cord coupled to the interior face of the elastic member and oriented in a spiral circular pattern, the cord having a first end positioned on a central portion of the elastic member, an intermediate region that extends in the spiral circular pattern from the first end to a second end of the cord located proximate an edge of the elastic member. The elastic member is adjusted to place the cord's first end above a cowlick of the user's hair. Tension generated in the elastic member when placed over the user's head permits the cord to apply pressure on the head, thereby creating the spiral wave pattern in the hair.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2015Publication date: June 22, 2017Inventor: Gabriel Paul Gonzales

Patent number: 9038693Abstract: Barrier systems and associated methods, including vapor and/or fire barrier systems, are disclosed herein. One aspect of the invention is directed toward a barrier system that includes a barrier coupled to a spool, and a drive system. The barrier is positioned to be wound onto and off of the spool as the barrier moves between a deployed position and a retracted position by the drive assembly. The system further includes a clutch configured to resist movement of the barrier system unless directed by the drive system, and to release the barrier to allow manual egress when power to the drive system fails. The system further includes a latch configured to retain the barrier in a retracted position and to prevent the barrier from deploying when power fails and the clutch releases.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Smoke Guard, Inc.Inventors: Curtis Paul Gonzales, William L.

Patent number: 8205818Abstract: A strap and cord winder is adjustable for different width straps and reconfigurable for cords. The winder includes a handle assembly with a center shaft and an offset pin for engaging and winding a strap. The center shaft adjustably passes through a face plate creating an adjustable width between a handle arm of the handle assembly and the face plate for winding different width straps. A cylindrical grip is attached to the face plate opposite the handle arm and the face plate attaches to a chest plate. A spool may be positioned on the center shaft between the handle arm and face plate for coiling cords and hoses and the offset pin engages a notch on one end of the spool to couple rotation of the handle to rotation of the spool. The spool includes disks at each end including open ended slots reaching radially to capture cord ends.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Inventors: Joseph Paul Gonzales, Donna L. Gonzales, Fernando B. Gonzales

Patent number: 7613377Abstract: A fiber optic splice organizer stores optical fiber splices and sufficient slack to permit the fibers to be readily separated, such as for reorganization or to remake a splice. Multiple hinges connect a plurality of fiber trays side by side to provide pivotable connections between trays. A flat orientation of the trays enables splicing and coiling of fibers as they are loaded into a tray. The trays then pivot into a fiber storage position. Special features of the hinges provide support for fibers and splices as they are loaded into the trays. The hinges protect the fibers as the trays are pivoted as well as when the trays are in their folded position for storage without requiring buffer tubes. Multiple architectures for the organization of fibers are enabled without violating minimal bend radii, and while providing for ease of separation of individual fibers or groups of fibers.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2008Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Inventors: Curtis Paul Gonzales, Tony L Brown

Patent number: 5865389Abstract: An air dam (35) is place between free tape (13) extending to a reel (11) and the reel (11). During high speed winding operations, the air dam (35) interrupts air flow toward the convergence (17) of the free tape (13) with the reel (11). This reduces a tendency for air entrainment in tape (15) packed on the reel (11) during the high speed winding operations.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1997Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: Curtis Paul Gonzales

Patent number: 5818668Abstract: A read/write tape head structure is utilized to access data from a tape, the tape including plural parallel tracks and exhibiting a tape width W1. The read/write tape head structure includes a fixed tape support which supports linear travel of the tape thereover. The fixed tape support exhibits a width W2 which is substantially the same as tape width W1. A transducer associated with the fixed tape support provides read/write capabilities and exhibits a width w which is less than either W1 or W2. An actuator moves the transducer transversely across tape width W1 to enable a positioning thereof at each of a plurality of parallel tracks on the tape. The actuator moves the transducer so that it physically remains within width W2 of the fixed tape support.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1997Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: Curtis Paul Gonzales
