Patent number: 11825875Abstract: A container for storing and transporting elongated objects, such as smoker's articles, or other small objects, which container has a container lid or closure and a container receptacle. The container lid is mounted on the receptacle for pivoting movement relative thereto and is openable to provide full access to the interior of the container and the object stored therein, and is closable to prevent access thereto. The container incorporates a child-resistant opening mechanism, and a seal which cooperates between the container lid and the receptacle in the closed position of the container lid to prevent odors from escaping the container interior, to preserve freshness of objects stored in the interior of the container and/or to seal the container interior from moisture or other contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: GREEN WORLD PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Richard Gene Lafler, Jr., Michael Richard Shane Vandenbosch, Matthew John Wheelright, Steve Allen Shoemaker, Kevin William Murphy

Patent number: 11498172Abstract: A high torque dual speed turbine rotor for a lightweight hand held tool for grinding and polishing or for use with a spindle mounted pneumatic machine. The high torque dual speed turbine rotor includes a two-piece shaft with flow control screw disposed within the shaft. The shaft includes a first set of hollow openings, at a first position from one end of the shaft, in fluid communications with a first annular chamber of a rotor. There is also a second set of hollow opening, at a second position from the one end of the shaft, in fluid communications with a second annular chamber of the rotor. The flow control screw moves inside a threaded axial bore of the shaft from an open position inside the axial bore to the closed position corresponding to the second set of hollow openings.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Air Turbine Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Simon Richard Shane

Publication number: 20150028558Abstract: A wheelchair bowling kit and bowling wheelchair are described. Embodiments of the wheelchair bowling kit can be implemented to allow a handicapped bowler to bowl more conventionally. Generally, the wheelchair bowling kit can include a drive mechanism and a locking mechanism. The drive mechanism can be implemented to propel a wheelchair forward using only one hand while the other hand is free to hold a bowling ball. The locking mechanism can be included to keep a castor of the wheelchair from rotating, resulting in the wheelchair moving in a substantially straight line. The bowling wheelchair can include components similar to the drive mechanism and locking mechanism that are manufactured as part of the bowling wheelchair.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2014Publication date: January 29, 2015Inventors: Richard Shane Hartman, Jack Samuel Horox
