Patent number: 9518369Abstract: A housing for covering equipment located underground may include a body having a top, a bottom and a pipe aperture. The body may include at least two knockouts formed in the pipe aperture. The knockouts may be configured to be individually and selectively removed from the pipe aperture to adjust a height of the pipe aperture relative to the bottom of the body. In addition, a lid may be configured to be mounted to the body, and the lid is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: ZIP VALVE BOXES LLCInventors: Scott M. Ducote, Frances M. Kirkland, Roy P. Prosise, Daniel Francis Caputo, Derek Litteral

Patent number: 9016514Abstract: A beverage container holder may include a base having an interior compartment configured to support a beverage, and a flexible tab having a lock button extending therefrom. It may further include a housing configured to be mounted to the base such that the beverage is located between the base and the housing. The housing can have a lock hole configured to receive the lock button and secure the housing to the base. The housing also can have a release button separate and spaced apart from the lock hole. The release button may be configured to selectively engage the flexible tab without contacting the lock button to indirectly release the lock button from the lock hole.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: InchBug LLC.Inventors: Brenda Lee Feldman, Daniel Francis Caputo, Roy P. Prosise

Patent number: 8424791Abstract: A reel assembly comprises a spool member configured to rotate about a spooling axis to wind or unwind a linear material. The spool member is also configured to rotate about a reciprocation axis that is substantially perpendicular to the spooling axis. A housing substantially encloses the spool member and comprises first and second housing portions that are rotatable with respect to one another about the reciprocation axis. The first housing portion defines an aperture configured to receive the linear material therethrough. A rotating member is configured to rotate when the spool member rotates about the spooling axis. The rotating member is mechanically linked with respect to the first housing portion via one or more intervening components, such that each revolution of the rotating member produces one cycle of relative reciprocating rotation between the spool member and the first housing portion about the reciprocation axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2012Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Great Stuff, Inc.Inventors: Ray Caamano, Christian Okonsky Gerard, Daniel Francis Caputo

Patent number: 8006928Abstract: A reel assembly comprises a drum configured to rotate about a drum axis. The drum is configured to receive a linear material wrapped around a spool surface thereof as the drum rotates about the drum axis. A housing substantially encloses the drum, wherein a portion of the housing defines an aperture configured to receive the linear material therethrough. A reciprocating mechanism connects to the drum and reciprocatingly rotates the drum relative to the shell about a generally vertical axis as the drum rotates about the drum axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2010Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Great Stuff, Inc.Inventors: Ray Caamano, Christian Okonsky Gerard, Daniel Francis Caputo
