Patent number: 10634102Abstract: 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: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Trico Group, LLCInventors: Robert Soreo, Mike McKee, Lindsey Tufts, Jr., Ryan Gernheuser

Patent number: 10307785Abstract: A heat pump dispenser includes a housing having a handle portion and a barrel portion. A feeder section is coupled to the handle portion. The feeder section includes a feeder mechanism and a dispensing trigger assembly operably coupled to the feeder mechanism. The feeder mechanism includes a gear assembly having a drive gear operably engaged to a plunger housed in the barrel portion. The trigger assembly includes a trigger having a ratchet portion. The ratchet portion selectively engages and rotates the drive gear to move the plunger toward a dispensing opening provided in the barrel portion and into engagement with an adhesive/filler stick. The feeder mechanism is selectively actuated by the dispensing trigger assembly to advance the adhesive/filler stick into a heater section of the barrel portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: RPM WOOD FINISHES GROUP, INC.Inventors: Steve Cash, Colin Campbell, Marc Vitantonio, Robert Vystrcil, Trevor Jackson, Chris deHaas, Robert Soreo

Patent number: 8678236Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing serving portions of topping onto beverages and desserts comprises a first compartment portion and a second compartment portion hingedly connected to the first compartment portion. One of the compartment portions includes a backing surface and a bag holding member operable to releasably attach a product bag to the compartment portion adjacent the backing surface. The other compartment portion includes a squeeze member, for example a cylindrical roller, mounted for travel in upward and downward directions. The squeeze member is arranged to contact the product bag when the second compartment portion is closed relative to the first compartment portion. The dispenser also comprises an actuating lever mechanically connected to the squeeze member, for example by a one-way advancing mechanism, wherein the actuating lever is operable by a user to advance the squeeze member in the downward direction to dispense product. The dispenser facilitates cleaning and product replacement.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2012Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Rich Products CorporationInventors: Sarah Jane Burke, Diego Viana, Christopher Tirone, Donald Fuchs, Jeffery Kalman, David Boll, Robert Soreo

Publication number: 20140068952Abstract: An oscillating multi-tool for cutting, scraping, sanding, or grinding of material. The oscillating multi-tool includes a body, a drive system and a gear arrangement. The drive system and the gear arrangement are designed to cause first and second tool attachments to partially or fully oscillate in opposite directions. The gear arrangement is connected or interconnected to first and second tool connectors. The first tool attachment is connected to the first tool connector and the second tool attachment is connected to the second tool connector. The gear arrangement causes the first and second tool connectors to move when the drive system is activated to thereby cause the first and second tool attachments to partially or fully oscillate in opposite directions relative to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: Infusion Brands, Inc.Inventors: Robert Soreo, Marc Vitantonio, Trevor Jackson, John Nottingham, John Spirk, Donald C.

The reciprocating saw includes a drive system and a gear arrangement that is designed to cause first and second reciprocating saw blades to partially or fully reciprocate in opposite directions. The gear arrangement is connected or interconnected to first and second blade carrying arms. The first reciprocating saw blade is connected to the first blade carrying arm and the second reciprocating saw blade is connected to the second blade carrying arm. The gear arrangement causes the first and second blade carrying arms to move when the drive system is activated to thereby cause the first and second reciprocating saw blades to partially or fully reciprocate in opposite directions relative to one another. The gear arrangement is designed to enable a stroke length of the first and second reciprocating saw blades to be changed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2012Publication date: February 20, 2014Inventors: Marc Vitantonio, Trevor Jackson, Donald C.
