Patent number: 8726562Abstract: An optics mount for a firearm is disclosed. The optics mount includes a laterally adjustable member and a base member. The laterally adjustable member comprises a first engaging member and a scope bracket. The base member may comprises a side rail receptor shaped to engage a side rail mount of a firearm (or another type of engaging mechanism) and a second engaging member shaped to slidably engage the first engaging member in a lateral direction of the optics mount. In one configuration, the optics mount may also be repositioned in a longitudinal direction along the optics mount.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Inventor: Scot Hoskisson

Publication number: 20120248764Abstract: A coupling for attachment to a conduit having an insertion end is disclosed. An outer surface of the insertion end of the conduit may be smooth and free of grooves, flanges and beads. A first member defines a first passageway. A second member defines a second passageway. The first member may be in spin weld engagement with the second member. A gripping ring having an inner edge defining a series of teeth may be disposed within the second member. A support ring and O-ring may also be disposed within the second member.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: ORBIT IRRIGATION PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Kent C. Ericksen, Stuart Eyring, Tres Wangsgaard, Scot Hoskisson

Patent number: 8196599Abstract: An improved saddle tee for branching a conduit from a main line is disclosed. The saddle tee includes a base unit that defines an opening for receiving a tap and interlocking jaws for securing the base unit to a main line. The tap may include a shaped portion for receiving a tool interface to rotate the tap to drive the tap into the main line. The tool interface could be secured to a power tool to enable rapid driving of the saddle tee into the main line. The saddle tee may also include offset arcuate interlocking jaws to enable the jaws to interlock around the main line with ease. Optional interface surfaces on the tap and base unit enable the tap and base unit to interlock to limit rotation of the tap relative to the base unit when the tap is fully inserted into the base unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2010Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Orbit Irrigation Products, Inc.Inventors: Scot Hoskisson, Tres Wangsgaard, Alan T.

Publication number: 20110304137Abstract: A coupling for conveying fluid between a component of a fluid system and an insertion end of a conduit is disclosed. Methods of manufacturing the coupling are also disclosed. A support member is rotatably disposed within the coupling. The support member also encloses one quadrant of the annular recess that receives an O-ring. Tapered inward protrusions of the coupling facilitate centering of a conduit within the coupling.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Applicant: ORBIT IRRIGATION, INC.Inventors: Kent C.

Publication number: 20090229675Abstract: An in-line, hose-end filter/flow regulator/anti-siphon device is disclosed. The disclosed hose-end device includes a unitary body having a generally linear side profile, a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis. An inlet hose-end receptor is disposed on the first end, while an outlet hose-end receptor is disposed on the second end. An anti-siphon section, a filter section, and a flow regulator section are positioned between the first end and the second end. The inlet hose-end receptor, the anti-siphon section, the filter section, the flow regulator section, and the outlet hose-end receptor are coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2008Publication date: September 17, 2009Inventors: Scot Hoskisson, Tres Wangsgaard

Publication number: 20090160178Abstract: A coupling for conveying fluid between a component of a fluid system and an insertion end of a conduit includes a coupling body with an internal bore. The insertion end of the conduit is introduced into a receiving end of said bore. A conduit centering structure is rigidly attached to the coupling body in axial alignment with the axis of the receiving end of the bore. A gripping mechanism fixes the position of the insertion end of the conduit in the receiving end of the bore, and a release mechanism slidable relative to the coupling body into a disengaging position induces the gripping mechanism to release the insertion end of the conduit. The conduit centering structure is a conduit guide or a conduit sleeve that projects from the coupling body within and in axial alignment with the receiving end of the bore.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2008Publication date: June 25, 2009Inventors: Kent C.
