Patent number: 11953146Abstract: A mounting structure has characteristics, properties, or features that provide stability for the accessories mounted or supported in relation thereto. The mounting structure may be in the form of a rigid or a semi-rigid composition, which may be formed at least in part by, or sufficiently covered or coated with, a material having a damping capacity, or an ability to isolate an accessory for a vessel, a slotted track supported in relation to the vessel, or a mounting arrangement supported in relation to the vessel or the slotted track. The mounting structure may be in the form of an extension arm for offsetting the accessory laterally, crosswise or transversely in relation to the vessel, slotted track, or mounting arrangement. The extension arm may include, or carry, a surface, that is configured to interlock with a surface of a mating structure, namely, a mounting arrangement and/or an accessory or accessory mount.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: YakAttack LLCInventors: Luther Cifers, III, Daniel Anderson Newman, Joey Martin Pruitt, John Aubrey Hipsher

Patent number: 11754222Abstract: An accessory device is provided with one or more physical interlocks for mating with a slot provided along an accessory mounting track, or alternatively, with discrete physical mating interlocking features provided along an accessory mounting track, such as along opposing sides of the slot. In this way, the accessory device can be mounted along the slot in a lengthwise direction of the accessory mounting track or perpendicularly or transversely to the lengthwise direction of the accessory mounting track. When mounting in a lengthwise direction of the accessory mounting track, the accessory device is prevented from moving along the accessory mounting track when sufficient frictional forces are applied. When mounting perpendicularly or transversely to the lengthwise direction of the accessory mounting track, the interlocks mate with the interlocking features to prevent movement of the accessory device along the accessory mounting track.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: YakAttack, LLCInventors: Daniel Anderson Newman, Luther Cifers

Publication number: 20230211264Abstract: A filter arrangement for an aquarium is disclosed. The filter arrangement can include a filter housing assembly, a pump assembly, and a transfer tube assembly. In one aspect, the housing assembly and the pump assembly are separately constructed assemblies that are connected to each other via a first dampening member to prevent vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly. The filter arrangement can further include a second dampening member connecting the pump assembly with the transfer tube assembly to further prevent vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly. A third dampening member can be provided at a location where the transfer tube assembly is supported within the filter housing assembly to further isolate vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly via the transfer tube assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: William D.

Patent number: 11111163Abstract: A time-release composition and method of making and using the time-release composition. The time-release composition may include an active ingredient that is useful in deterring unwanted growth, such as bacterial and fungal growth, in high-flow water environments. The composition can include several active ingredients to provide a multiple use tablet. The multi-use tablet can be used to dispense any combination of active ingredients that act as clarifiers, minerals, medications, buffers, chemical dosing, and/or other maintenance components, such as growth deterrents and water filtration augmentation and any combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Spectrum Brands, Inc.Inventors: Joseph C. Carley, Derek James Meyers, Daniel Anderson Newman, Mary W. Orr, Timothy Plafcan, Christian Schobert
