Patent number: 8919061Abstract: A spacer panel is incorporated into building walls to drain accumulated moisture from the wall structure. The spacer panel is formed with spacer members that project on opposing sides of a central planar web member. Each spacer member is formed independently and has a planar portion extending around the spacer member to provide a location for the insertion of apertures to allow moisture to pass from one side of the panel to the other. Each spacer member includes a planar surface that facilitates an application of adhesive for attachment of a barrier member thereto. The spacer members can be oriented in a herringbone pattern alternating on opposing sides of the central web member. The spacer members can be formed as a circular projection extending on one side of the central web with a truncated conical member projecting to the opposing side of the central web from the circular projection.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2009Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Brentwood Industries, Inc.Inventors: Matt Kortuem, David B. Rosten, Palle Rye, David J. Bonanni, Richard Pirino

Patent number: 8561359Abstract: A baffle vent incorporates an integral drift blocker portion that is connected to the main body portion of the baffle vent by a generally planar transition portion to allow the drift blocker portion to move relative to the main body portion. The main body portion is formed with transversely extending stiffening ribs, while the drift blocker portion is formed with longitudinally extending stiffening ribs with the transition portion being devoid of stiffening ribs to maintain flexibility in the transition portion. The baffle vent structure can be formed in large sheets that span several roof rafters with multiple integral drift blocker portions formed to be positioned between the roof rafters. A deck baffle panel is also provided in a configuration similar to the main body portion to be installed beneath attic flooring in manufactured housing to allow an air flow to remove moisture from beneath the attic flooring.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2008Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Brentwood Industries, Inc.Inventors: David B. Rosten, David J. Bonanni, Richard Pirino

Patent number: 7861467Abstract: A baffle vent is formed to span several roof rafters in a panel form with alternating flat ribs and rounded valleys extending along the longitudinal length thereof. The spacing of the flat ribs is four inches on center so that the transverse width of the panel will be engaged properly with roof rafters spaced on a multiple of four inches. The baffle vent includes uniformly spaced transverse ribs that extend from one transverse edge of the panel to the other to stiffen the panel which is formed of vacuum molded polyvinyl chloride film. The baffle panel is placed on top of the roof rafters before the roof sheeting is applied so that the insulation will force the baffle vent against the roof where the flat ribs engage the roof sheeting and the rounded valleys provide a passage for air to flow from the building soffit to the roof vent.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2008Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Brentwood Industries, Inc.Inventors: David B. Rosten, David J. Bonanni, Richard Pirino

Patent number: 7841137Abstract: An insulation block is utilized with a corresponding baffle vent having a transverse width that will span several roof rafters, as is provided for use with manufactured housing. The insulation block includes uniformly spaced vertical ribs that extend from one edge of the insulation block to the opposing edge thereof to stiffen the insulation block which is formed of vacuum molded polyvinyl chloride film. After the baffle panel is placed on top of the roof rafters, which is before the roof sheeting is applied, the insulation block is attached to the wall top plate with the top edge of the insulation block placed into engagement with the baffle vent. The top edge of the insulation block is configured to mate with the undulating configuration of the corresponding baffle vent, fitting between transversely extending stiffening ribs on the baffle vent, to prevent insulation from entering the soffit area.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Brentwood Industries, Inc.Inventors: David B. Rosten, David J. Bonanni, Richard Pirino

Patent number: 7628368Abstract: A roll support and spacing member has parallel, connected and nestable first and second sections foldable upon a hinge to provide support structure in the middle of a stack of rolls. The roll support and spacing member has upwardly and downwardly facing, roll-engaging indentations with the sections being separable to provide top and bottom support pieces for engaging rolls in the stack. The sections are movable into superposed relationship with one another. The first and second sections have peripheral flanges located along opposed sides and opposed ends thereof and formed with cooperable interlocking structure positively retaining the sections together when the sections are placed in superposed relationship.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2008Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Great Northern CorporationInventors: Robert W. Swannell, David B. Rosten

Patent number: 5060828Abstract: A thermoformed package/dispenser for bbs and other kinds of small balls has a cover rotatably mounted on a cup-shaped base to close the package or convert it into a dispenser. Detent stop structure is built in integrally with the base and cover to hold the cover in a desired open or closed package position. A knockout may be provided in the cover to package and dispense balls larger than those for which the package was primarily designed. Interlocking peripheral flanges demountably hold base and cover together with friction assured to hold the cover in a predetermined position. At least a portion of the package may be transparent so that the ball load may be observed.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1990Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Plastofilm Industries, Inc.Inventors: David B.
