Patent number: 10822198Abstract: The invention is generally directed to an elevator display system which provides the illusion of observing a visual narrative of an elevator trip which is made to appear as if the actual elevator has glass walls and one is observing a fanciful elevator trip. The elevator can have a variety of different fanciful rides which are not restricted by the constraints of time, location or physics.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Legends Attractions, LLCInventors: Philip Hettema, Susan Spence, Arthur Derby Ahlstone, Benjamin Lien

Patent number: 10805591Abstract: The invention is generally directed to a visual attraction which provides a multi-dimensional audio/video experience in which the three dimensional screens provide for a three dimensional appearing display of two dimensional images in anticipation of and leading up to a reveal event in which the screens rise to expose a view behind the screens. The visual attraction also collects and separates the visitors to the visual attraction by collecting a predetermined grouping of the visitors and processing them through the attraction in a fashion which provides a manageable flow of visitors spaced apart by the length of the show which then passes the group of visitors in the attraction to the remainder of the attraction before collecting and passing through the next group.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: LEGENDS ATTRACTIONS, LLCInventors: Philip Hettema, David Revel, Arthur Derby Ahlstone

Publication number: 20160091113Abstract: A pipe laying machine is disclosed. The example pipe laying machine includes a platform configured to move continuously relative to the ground and a pipe connector section configured to slide along a portion of length of the platform relative to the platform. The pipe connector section includes an upstream stopper and a downstream pipe connector section configured to slide along a portion of a length of the pipe connector section relative to the pipe connector section. The upstream stopper is configured to prevent a bell mouth of a bell end of an upstream pipe from passing through. The downstream pipe connector section includes a downstream clamp, which is configured to grip a spigot end of a downstream pipe. The downstream pipe connector section is configured to slide toward the upstream pipe to connect the upstream pipe with the downstream pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Frank K. Weigand, James M. Rhodes, Daniel Leigh Coats, Jeffrey Gregg Anderson, Arthur Derby Ahlstone, Alfredo Tello Besara, JR., Dirk Griffith

Publication number: 20160091114Abstract: An irrigation pipe laying machine for glued or gasketed piped is disclosed. The example pipe laying machine includes a platform including a first end and a second end. The pipe laying machine also includes a clamp configured to grip a portion of a bell end of an upstream pipe to prevent the upstream pipe from moving, a spigot end of the upstream pipe being connected to a second upstream pipe. The pipe laying machine further includes a plunger located adjacent to the second end of the platform and configured to push against a bell end of a downstream pipe causing a spigot end of the downstream pipe to connect to the bell end of the upstream pipe. The plunger is configured to push against the face of the bell end of the downstream pipe when the clamp grips the portion of the bell end of the upstream pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Frank K. Weigand, James M. Rhodes, Daniel Leigh Coats, Jeffrey Gregg Anderson, Arthur Derby Ahlstone, Alfredo Tello Besara, Jr., Dirk Griffith
