  • Publication number: 20230220695
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230220694
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11506461
    Abstract: Embodiments of a magazine coupler include a coupler body, a first magazine attachment interface coupled to the coupler body and configured to removably mount a lower end portion of the first firearm magazine to the coupler body, a second magazine attachment interface coupled to the coupler body and configured to removably mount a lower end portion of the second firearm magazine to the coupler body, and a finger aperture extending formed through the coupler body. The finger aperture is sized and shaped to enable a user or firearm operator to spin the magazine coupler about a finger of the user when inserted through the finger aperture to vary which of the first firearm magazine and the second firearm magazine resides in an upright orientation for insertion into a well of a firearm when the magazine coupler resides in a deployed state.

  • Patent number: 11168954
    Abstract: 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.
