Patent number: 11528990Abstract: Variable planform shelving systems include a variable support platform and a support surface assembly that is supported by the variable support platform. The variable support platform includes frames that can be repositioned relative to each other to vary the planform of the variable support platform. The support surface assembly provides a support surface for supported items. The support surface assembly is flexible and/or comprised of a plurality of linked panels so that the support surface provided varies in response to variation in the planform of the variable support platform.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2019Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Techni, LLCInventors: George Fanourgiakis, Lawrence J. Brucia

Publication number: 20220193288Abstract: A cart sanitizer/washer is disclosed. The cart sanitizer/washer includes a sanitization and wash chamber formed by a right sidewall panel, a left sidewall panel, a front sidewall panel, a rear sidewall panel, a ceiling panel, and a floor. Entry and exit ramps may be included to facilitate the rolling of one or more carts into the chamber. The sanitizer/washer includes a detergent container, a rinse agent container, a sanitizer container, a detergent pump, a rinse agent pump, a circulation pump, a sanitizer pump, and a drain pump in a compartment located above the chamber. An Ultraviolet (UV) Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) system may be included within the chamber to provide an alternative meaning of sanitizing the cart positioned within the chamber with one or more lamp.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Applicant: .Techni LLCInventors: Nicholaos Dimitrious Fanourgiakis, John Dimitrious Fanourgiakis, Manoli Dimitrious Fanourgiakis, George Dimitrious Fanourgiakis

Patent number: 9481207Abstract: A caster device includes a base attachable to a supported item, one or more rolling elements that interface with the base to facilitate rolling of the supported item along a support surface, and an external sleeve coupled to the base for adjustable vertical positioning of the external sleeve relative to the base. The external sleeve can be placed in a first vertical position relative to the base where the rolling element(s) do not contact the support surface, and in a second vertical position relative to the base where the rolling elements do contact the support surface. A rimguard may be rotatively coupled with the external sleeve so that as the external sleeve is rotated to the first vertical position, the bottom rim of the external sleeve rotates relative to a rimguard inner surface and a rimguard outer surface does not rotate relative to the support surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: TECHNI, LLCInventors: George Fanourgiakis, Lawrence J.

Patent number: 8943648Abstract: An adjustable support device includes a base that includes a plurality of rolling element receiving cavities, a plurality of rolling elements that interface with the rolling element receiving cavities, and an external sleeve coupled to the base for adjustable vertical positioning of the external sleeve relative to the base. Each of the rolling element receiving cavities is positioned and oriented to interface with a rolling element disposed between the base and the support surface. The external sleeve can be placed in a first vertical position relative to the base where the rolling elements do not contact the support surface, and in a second vertical position relative to the base where the rolling elements do contact the support surface. A rimguard may be rotatively coupled with the external sleeve so that as the external sleeve is rotated to the first vertical position.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Techni, LLCInventors: George Fanourgiakis, Lawrence J.
