Patent number: 10549298Abstract: A pivot-to dispense soap pump includes an actuator that dispenses soap when actuated. The actuator is configured to move downward when actuated by user input. The downward movement may be in either one of a linear movement, maintaining the actuator is a horizontal orientation, or a pivoting movement about a pivot point. The pivot point is located on a distal end of the actuator, which is opposite the nozzle. The pivoting motion allows a user to depress the actuator proximate to the nozzle, thereby allowing the user to dispense soap into the same hand used to actuate the actuator. As a result, efficient, one-handed soap pumping and dispensing is enabled.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Spectrum Brands, Inc.Inventors: Graham Wheatland, Adam Tracy

Publication number: 20190382990Abstract: A faucet may be used to deliver water in a temperature and volume controlled manner. The faucet may also selectively deliver an ultrasonic waveform within the water. The ultrasonic waveform is generated by an ultrasonic transducer that may be located within a head of the faucet, body of the faucet, or remotely located below a counter. An ultrasonic waveform generator controls the amplitude and frequency of the ultrasonic emissions. The ultrasonic waveform increases the cleaning ability of the water provided by the ultrasonic faucet by producing a plurality of agitated bubbles within the delivered water.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventor: Adam Tracy

Publication number: 20170034625Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides an apparatus and method of forming an audio speaker that has an improved sound quality over conventional audio speaker designs and has a low manufacturing cost. In an effort to overcome the shortcomings of conventional sealed speaker designs that typically have diaphragms that generate undesirable levels of distortion, one or more of the embodiments of the disclosure provided herein include a speaker diaphragm that is formed from a mode damped diaphragm design. In general, a mode damped diaphragm is configured to damp the various mode shapes generated during the delivery of an acoustic output from the speaker assembly. It is believed that one or more of the embodiments of the disclosure provided herein could be used in any audio speaker application, but may provide additional advantages when used in various headphone, headset, earphone or in-ear monitor type applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2016Publication date: February 2, 2017Inventor: Adam Tracy WICK
