  • Patent number: 11896173
    Abstract: A bathtub closure system may include a step configured to be retrofit onto a bathtub and a plug. The step may include a first side panel, a second side panel, and an elongated platform defining a cavity configured to facilitate ingress and egress into the bathtub, and a first attachment recess extending downward from the first top surface less than an entire height of the first side panel or extending downward from the second top surface less than an entire height of the second side panel. The plug includes a body and a first attachment member affixed to the body and corresponding to the first attachment recess defined by the step. The plug cooperates with the step to form a substantially watertight seal when the first attachment member is mated with the first attachment recess and the body of the plug is positioned at least partially within the cavity.

  • Patent number: 11319025
    Abstract: A marine vessel hull, and marine vessels comprising at least one such hull, comprising a non-entrapment hull having at least one partial-beam, longitudinally vented transverse step, each partial-beam, longitudinally vented transverse step comprising a transverse step with port and starboard portions that do not continuously extend from port chine to starboard chine. In one embodiment, the port and starboard portions extend inwardly to an intersection with at least one longitudinal step but do not fully extend from starboard to port across the full beam of the vessel. In another, the port and starboard portions extend between longitudinal steps across the centerline but not to the starboard and port chines.

  • Patent number: 10858069
    Abstract: A marine vessel hull, and marine vessels comprising at least one such hull, comprising a non-entrapment hull having at least one longitudinally vented transverse step, each longitudinally vented transverse step comprising a transverse step, and one or more longitudinal steps extending forward therefrom. Each longitudinal step portion has a cross-sectional profile defining a cutout into the hull relative to a line defined by a deadrise angle of the hull. The cutout defines a vertical rise starting from the line defined by the deadrise angle and a run tilted outwardly upward at a non-horizontal angle less than the deadrise angle and that extends to an intersection with the line defined by the deadrise angle.

  • Patent number: 10369245
    Abstract: A system for treating emissions from a vehicle includes an ozone generator, a first holding tank, and an exhaust vent. The first holding tank is downstream from the ozone generator and defines a volume for liquid waste beneath a void space. The exhaust vent is downstream from the first holding tank and outside of the vehicle. A supply conduit connects the ozone generator to the void space of the first holding tank. An exhaust conduit connects the void space of the first holding tank to the exhaust vent. The ozone generator, supply conduit, void space of the first holding tank, exhaust conduit, and exhaust vent establish a thermal driving head from the ozone generator through the void space of the first holding tank to the exhaust vent.

  • Patent number: 10271609
    Abstract: A press on shoe cover includes a bottom layer and at least one bistable spring band. The bottom layer is sized to cover at least a bottom of a shoe. The at least one bistable spring band is attached to the bottom layer. The at least one bistable spring band having a stable planar position and a bias coiling position. The stable planar position is configured to hold the bottom layer flat. The bias coiling position is configured to wrap the bottom layer around at least the bottom of the shoe. When the shoe cover lays flat on a surface and the bottom of the shoe is pressed down on the shoe cover, the bistable spring band is configured to move to the bias coiling position thereby wrapping the bottom layer around at least the bottom of the shoe and securing the shoe cover on the bottom of the shoe.

  • Patent number: 10246162
    Abstract: A marine vessel hull, and marine vessels comprising at least one such hull, comprising a non-entrapment hull having at least one longitudinally vented transverse step, each longitudinally vented transverse step comprising a transverse step extending from starboard to port, and one or more longitudinal steps extending forward therefrom. One or more longitudinal steps may also extend aft of an aft-most longitudinally vented transverse step, and may converge to a relatively lesser depth at the stern than a maximum depth at a location fore of the stern. The one or more longitudinal steps may gradually transition to a maximum depth aft of a discontinuity introduced by a forward transverse step. The hull may also have one or more longitudinal step tunnels.
