Patent number: 11421836Abstract: A torch and support pole combination has a wick extending upwardly therefrom. A pole adapter with a pole receiver is affixed to a torch assembly. A support pole is received in the pole receiver. The pole has an outwardly biased spring tab that is compressible by an inside surface of the pole receiver until the spring tab is inserted to a location above a top surface of the pole receiver, thereby creating a secure attachment of the torch assembly to the pole. The upper end of the pole is inserted into the pole receiver. The outwardly biased spring tab on the pole is compressed with an inside surface of the pole receiver. Compression of the spring tab is relieved when the spring tab is inserted to a location above a top surface of the pole receiver, thereby creating a secure attachment of the torch assembly to the pole.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Lamplight Farms IncorporatedInventors: Lucas Henry Zeitler, Robert Woodruff, David A.

Patent number: 11009221Abstract: A torch pole assembly including a torch pole having a top, a bottom, and a length between the top and bottom. An opening passes through the torch pole transverse to its length. A step comprises a pair of spaced apart sidewalls, each defining a sidewall opening situated on the common axis, and a floor spanning between the sidewalls and spaced apart from the sidewall openings. An axle occupies the common axis and passes through the pair of sidewall openings and the torch pole opening. The step is rotatable from a parallel position to a perpendicular position in which the floor is perpendicular to the length of the torch pole, the step floor defining a cutout proximate the collar that receives and contacts the collar when the step is in the perpendicular position thereby preventing the step from rotation beyond the perpendicular position.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Lamplight Farms IncorporatedInventors: Lucas Henry Zeitler, Samantha Wisniewski
