Patent number: 10006464Abstract: A blower for use to provide combustion air to a fire (e.g., to assist in the lighting of a fire). The blower may include a cylindrical housing having an inlet opening and an outlet opening with a bore extending between the inlet and the outlet. A fan and power source may be provided to induce air flow from the inlet opening and through the bore such that air is expelled from the outlet opening. The outlet air exiting the outlet opening may travel in a direction substantially parallel with a central axis of the cylindrical housing. The blower may be supported by an infinitely adjustable flexible member that may be manipulated to position the blower with respect to the fire to provide outlet air to the fire. The flexible member may be engaged with a clip to attach the blower to a structure adjacent to the fire.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2013Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: ARCHIPELAGO GROUP LLCInventors: Bruce Prior, George Prior

Publication number: 20170238759Abstract: A rotatable grilling device that may be used to rotate a grilling surface relative to a heat source of a grilling device. The rotatable grilling device may comprise a support structure for supporting the grilling surface relative to the heating device. The support structure may allow for rotation and the efficient transfer of heat to the grilling surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2017Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventors: Bruce Prior, George Prior, Andrew Hunt Taylor

Patent number: 9303652Abstract: A blower for use to accelerate combustion by providing additional air to a fire (e.g., to assist in the lighting of a fire). The blower may include a cylindrical housing having an inlet opening and an outlet opening with a bore extending therebetween. A fan assembly and power source may be disposed in the bore and be operable to induce air flow through the bore. Air exiting the outlet opening may travel in a direction substantially parallel with a central axis of the cylindrical housing. The blower may be supported by an infinitely adjustable flexible member that may be manipulated to position the blower with respect to the fire to provide outlet air to the fire.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Archipelago Group LLCInventors: Bruce Prior, George Prior

Patent number: 6918454Abstract: A system that controls a back reaming operation of a drilling rig is provided that includes a hoisting system that moves a drill pipe during a back reaming operation at a hoisting speed and a hoisting torque. The hoisting system comprises at least one back reaming parameter sensor for measuring a corresponding at least one back reaming parameter. An operator control unit allows an operator to input a predetermined value of the at least one back reaming parameter therein. A back reaming parameter sensor obtains the measured value of the at least one back reaming parameter. A control system monitors the at least one back reaming parameter. A braking assembly resists the hoisting torque of the drawworks system when the measured value of the at least one back reaming parameter equals the predetermined value of the at least one back reaming parameter.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2004Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Varco I/P, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Prior, Mike Porche
