Publication number: 20230329518Abstract: A system for dispensing a detergent solution from a solid detergent into a dishwasher includes a dispenser that can collect water sprayed into the dishwasher and use the collected water to produce the detergent solution by dissolving a portion of the solid detergent, controlling the amount of the detergent solution produced, and releasing the produced detergent solution between cleaning cycles. The dispenser can perform these functions automatically without being electrically powered.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Rahul Bharath Jairam, Daniel Davis Anderson, Steven James Lundberg, Thomas David LaVenture, Marvin Harris York, Michael Patrick Kremer

Publication number: 20220061300Abstract: An insect capture device is used to monitor, capture, and/or kill insects. The device has a raised portion to create a gap between a surface and the device to entice insects to pass under. At the raised portion, a glue board includes an adhesive facing the surface. As the insect passes under the raised portion, the insect can unknowingly become attached to the adhesive portion and stuck thereto. To aid in installing the glue board, one or more sections of the glue board can be free of adhesive to connect or fit to a part of the device to hold the glue board in place, while also allowing for easy removal to replace the glue board with a new one, free of captured insects.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Daniel Ronald Schwartz, Jonathan Lee Glawe, Magdalene Rose White, Joshua J. Lanz, Douglas B. Gardner, Larry Lake, Daniel Davis Anderson

Patent number: 11235293Abstract: A material wetting system for wetting a powder material includes a liquid supply system, a material mixing unit, a material supply system, and a shroud assembly. The liquid supply system includes a supply line. The material mixing unit is in fluid communication with the supply line and includes a central cavity having an open upper end configured to receive a supply of powder material. The material mixing unit is configured to receive liquid from the supply line and is operatively connected to a reduced pressure source to draw air into the central cavity. The material supply system includes an orifice and is configured to feed powder material through the orifice, with the orifice disposed above the central cavity of the material mixing unit. The shroud assembly is disposed about the open upper end of the central cavity of the material mixing unit and the orifice of the material supply system.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Daniel Davis Anderson, Brock Stephen Mueggenborg, Karl Heinbuch, David W. Scheimann, Alex Bodga, Thomas E. Peacock

Patent number: 10961002Abstract: A hopper system for powder material includes a hopper and a cover. The hopper has hopper sidewalls that extend downward from an upper end of the hopper with at least one of the hopper sidewalls being sloped along a portion thereof. A hopper axis extends vertically between at least some of the hopper sidewalls. The cover is disposed at the upper end of the hopper and includes an opening configured for the powder material to flow therethrough and into the hopper. The opening defines a vertical material loading axis that is offset relative to the hopper axis. A diverter member may be provided that is positioned along the material loading axis and configured to divert the powder material entering through the opening. A powder material feed system may be disposed adjacent the lower end of the hopper to feed the powder material from the hopper.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Brock Stephen Mueggenborg, Karl Heinbuch, Daniel Davis Anderson, David W. Scheimann, Thomas E. Peacock

Patent number: 10562062Abstract: A material supply assembly includes a valve assembly having an outer valve member and an inner valve member rotatable relative to the outer valve member. A base assembly includes an base structure and an actuator. An engagement structure is operative between the outer valve member and the actuator to prevent relative movement between the outer valve member and the actuator. A locking structure is operative between the inner valve member and the base structure to prevent relative movement between the inner valve member and the base structure. Movement of the actuator relative to the base structure moves the outer valve member relative to the inner valve member to operate the valve assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Thomas Dobizl, Thaddeus Hans Feiler, Brock Stephen Mueggenborg, Daniel Davis Anderson
