Patents by Inventor Curtis Alan Roys

Curtis Alan Roys 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: 11953149
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a divider block assembly made from one piece of material. Traditional divider blocks require modular sections so that piston alignment can be calibrated precisely. The current invention uses replaceable pistons and sleeves that are suitable for use at high fluid pressures. The use of these pistons also allows for a single, bodied, one-piece, metal divider body, rather than the conventional multiple block divider blocks, which allows for a more efficient manufacturing method and stronger, more reliable, and more efficient lubricant dispensing system. The use of any of these aspects separately can improve performance, and not all are required in every embodiment.

  • Patent number: 11441760
    Abstract: An LED support clip enables mounting of light-emitting diode (LED) modules onto support elements which may be pre-existing, such as tubing, while avoiding problems with current mounting methods. One or more LED light modules may be clamped into the LED support clip without the need for adhesives or screws, thereby forming an LED light assembly. One or more LED light assemblies may be clamped onto the support element. The LED support clip may comprise multiple clamps configured with spring tension jaws designed into the manufacturing process of the LED support clip. Support elements may be oriented horizontally, vertically or at various angles and may have a variety of cross-sectional shapes, including: square, triangular, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, “I”-shaped, “L”-shaped, and round, over a wide cross-sectional dimension range.

  • Patent number: 11215325
    Abstract: A modular LED lamp system allows for stacking multiple LED carriers to provide the desired amount of light. Each LED carrier preferably includes its own transformer to convert line voltage to power useable by the LEDs on the carrier. Line voltage is conducted through each module to a subsequent module and is provided to the transformer.

  • Patent number: 11002438
    Abstract: An adjustable clip-on base for installing an LED support into a lighting enclosure includes a support clip portion for removably attaching the adjustable clip-on base onto the LED support. The adjustable clip-on based also includes a mating structure portion configured for mating with the lighting enclosure to mount the LED support into the lighting enclosure. The support clip being is positionable on the LED support over a range of positions to alter the distance that the mating structure portion extends from the end of the LED support so that the combined length of the adjustable clip-on base and the LED support can be adjusted to fit in the lighting enclosure.
