Publication number: 20250163711Abstract: A skimmer assembly includes a basket, a handle, and a housing. The handle is coupled to the basket and configured to rotate between a first orientation and a second orientation. The handle includes an outwardly-extending, oblong-shaped first end. The housing includes a wall defining an opening configured to receive the basket. The wall includes an aperture configured to receive the oblong-shaped first end. The aperture is defined in part by a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall opposing the first lateral wall. The first and second lateral walls are configured to (i) engage the oblong-shaped first end to inhibit translation of the basket when the handle is in the first orientation, and (ii) allow the oblong-shaped first end to translate between the first and second lateral walls when the handle is in the second orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 22, 2025Inventor: David Spykerman

Patent number: 12241274Abstract: A skimmer assembly includes a housing, a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet, a second outlet, and a valve. The housing includes a first chamber portion, a second chamber portion, and a divider wall. The divider wall is operable to inhibit fluid communication between the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion. The first inlet and the first outlet are in fluid communication with the first chamber portion. The second inlet and the second outlet are in fluid communication with the second chamber portion. The valve is operable in an open state and a closed state. The valve is configured to (i) allow a flow of fluid into the second chamber portion in the open state and (ii) inhibit the flow of fluid into the second chamber portion in the closed state.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Blue Square Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Jeremy Owens, David Spykerman

Patent number: 12203287Abstract: A skimmer assembly includes a basket assembly and a housing. The basket assembly includes a basket and a handle rotatably coupled to the basket. The handle includes a first end extending outwardly from the basket and configured to rotate between a first orientation and a second orientation about an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation extends in a first direction. The housing includes an upper chamber, a lower chamber, and a wall disposed between the upper chamber and the lower chamber. The wall includes an aperture defined in part by opposed lateral walls configured to inhibit translation of the basket assembly in a direction transverse to the first direction when the first end is in the first orientation.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Blue Square Manufacturing, LLCInventor: David Spykerman

Patent number: 11168954Abstract: A firearm magazine extender is installable onto a firearm magazine having a lower end portion from which magazine flanges project. Embodiments of the firearm magazine extender include a first enclosure piece, a second enclosure piece, and a laterally-interlocking interface formed between the first and second enclosure pieces. The first enclosure piece includes, in turn, laterally-flexible sidewalls spaced along a lateral axis of the firearm magazine extender, and retention slots formed in the laterally-flexible sidewalls and into which the magazine flanges engage when the first enclosure piece is fit onto the firearm magazine. The second enclosure piece is configured to matingly engage the first enclosure piece and cooperate therewith to enclose the lower end portion of the firearm magazine.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: XTech Tactical, LLCInventors: David Spykerman, Leif Strom
