Patent number: 11878901Abstract: A mounting assembly includes a beverage mounting assembly having a housing. The housing has a housing wall that surrounds a cavity. A valve body is connectable to the beverage mounting assembly. The valve body is connectable to the beverage mounting assembly via a clip. The clip is insertable into both the housing and the valve body to connect the valve body to the beverage mounting assembly. At least one actuator is disposed in the cavity of the housing. The actuator rotates from a closed position to an open position that actuates pressure to the valve body from a liquid source. The actuator is separate from the clip that connects the housing to the valve body.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2012Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: WELBILT FOODSERVIE COMPANIES, LLCInventors: James Wallace Brown, Bruce Burton

Publication number: 20230228602Abstract: Flow meters are disclosed that provide improved measurements of fluid flowing through fan coils. A flow meter includes a body that defines an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending along a longitudinal axis between the inlet and the outlet. The flow meter also includes transducers coupled to the body and exposed to the flow path defined by the body. The transducers are configured to transmit and receive a signal travelling through the flow path to measure a flow rate of fluid of the fan coil. The flow meter also includes one or more reflectors coupled to the body and exposed to the flow path defined by the body. Each of the one or more reflectors has a flat reflective surface that is exposed to the flow path and is configured to reflect the signal to relay the signal between the transducers.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Xiaoming ZHU, Roger Lee BOYDSTUN, Travis Wayne MARTIN, James Wallace BROWN

Patent number: 7611445Abstract: A machine, apparatus, and method for targeting the abdominal and oblique muscle groups. The abdominal exercise system includes a frame, carriage, and an upper body support. In one embodiment, the user places at least a portion of their lower body on the carriage. The user leans their forearms and elbows against an angled upper body support while grasping a set of handles to secure the user's upper body. In turn, the user swings the carriage back and forth along an arcuate path beginning at a position behind the upper body support and ending at a position in front of the upper support, thereby contracting and relaxing the abdominal muscle group.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2008Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: AB Coaster Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Wallace Brown, Robert W. Nelson

Patent number: 7585263Abstract: An exercise device designed to work the abdominal and oblique muscle groups. The abdominal exerciser comprises a carriage connected to a frame by a swing-arm that allows the carriage to swing along an arcuate path. In some embodiments, the carriage is connected to the frame by non-parallel first and second swing-arms. The carriage is adjustable so as to accommodate users of different sizes and to isolate different abdominal muscle groups. The abdominal exerciser device is designed to simulate an abdominal exercise “crunch” motion when the knees are brought within proximity of an upper body support.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2007Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Ab Coasler Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Wallace Brown, Robert W. Nelson
