Patents by Inventor Albert John Kohn

Albert John Kohn has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11104518
    Abstract: A dispensation system having a hopper that is located remote to the remainder of the dispensation system. The hopper can be located remote from a delivery system and a conveyor or other transmitting device can connect the hopper to the delivery system. The hopper can therefore be located in an area that is more accessible or less valued than the area in which the products or objects are dispensed, allowing a more efficient product distribution system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2021
    Assignee: Freeosk, Inc.

  • Patent number: 10672217
    Abstract: A system, device and method for dispensing a product includes a delivery system that includes at least one auger with internal flighting that is either integral with or attached to an internal wall of a barrel portion of the auger. The auger rotates and the spiral flighting within the auger transmits a product from a bulk loading station to a product dispensation area. Thus, products can be bulk loaded into a device rather than having to be loaded one-by-one into a dispensing device. The spiral flighting reduces pinch points associated with conventional auger systems.

  • Patent number: 10275976
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for optimizing the delivery of products through an automated product dispensation system. The disclosed systems implement different dispensation parameters based on the size, shape, and other criteria for the different products that are dispensed through the device. The disclosed methods first identify the product being dispensed, and then determine the parameters at which the product should be dispensed for maximum efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9446904
    Abstract: An interchangeable flighting insert is disclosed to maximize the efficiency of singularly delivering objects, such as products, to a user through a product dispensation device. The flighting insert can be removably coupled to an auger of the product dispensation device, thereby allowing variation of the flighting characteristics based on the object to be dispensed. The same auger can therefore use a first flighting for certain products, and a second flighting for different products.
