Patent number: 11529024Abstract: A portable solar shower is a showering device that can heat the water in a tank to a user defined temperature, with the help of a large solar panel. In order to accomplish that, the device includes a thermostat that displays multiple temperatures, a vacuum insulated water tank that helps maintain the temperature of the water at the user defined temperature level for long hours, and a retractable showerhead and shower pipe. Further, the device is mounted over an upper surface of a vehicle, thereby not compromising any luggage or trunk space of the vehicle. The portable solar shower further includes a power unit that provides power to water pumps and all the necessary circuitry within the device. Furthermore, the device includes an additional smaller solar panel that can provide energy to the power unit, thereby enabling the user to run the shower unit on natural renewable sources of energy.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Inventors: Phillip Earl Kelly, Christopher Jackson Crawford

Patent number: 11168836Abstract: A modular clipping device is used to attach a cylindrical device to a railing structure. The clipping device is formed from two detachable clasps that enable a user to form a semi-permanent mount for the cylindrical device. The clipping device has a pair of mounting brackets and a coupling mechanism. The pair of mounting brackets are clasps that are each designed to clamp around the cylindrical object and the railing structure. The coupling mechanism is a detachable fastener that has a pair of interlocking members which can be quickly connected to or detached from each other. Additionally, each of the interlocking members is connected to a corresponding mounting bracket so that the mounting brackets can be detachably connected to each other. The interlocking members are connected in between the mounting brackets and retain the mounting brackets in a desired orientation.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Inventor: Phillip Earl Kelly

Publication number: 20210259478Abstract: A portable compressible shower unit is a showering device that is easy to carry around and can maintain water at a specific temperature for longer hours. In order to accomplish this, the device includes a carrier bag with straps, that provide the user the leverage to carry the shower unit and carry it around like a backpack. The device further includes an insulated water bag that can maintain the temperature of the water for long hours. Further, a battery unit included within the device helps power a pump to dispense the water from the bag to a shower head. An expandable zipper lid allows the water bag to expand and store more water. Furthermore, the device includes storage pockets to allow the user to carry and store away the hose and shower head as well as other accessories that the user may want to carry along.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Phillip Earl Kelly, Christopher Jackson Crawford

Patent number: 11090189Abstract: An eye drop alignment assembly includes a ring that has a bottle of eye drops being extendable therethrough. The ring has a plurality of engagements thereon and the engagements are spaced apart from each other and are positioned at strategic points around the ring. A plurality of legs is each movably coupled to a respective one of the engagements. A plurality of extensions is each pivotally coupled to a respective one of the legs. Each of the extensions is positionable at a selected angle with respect to the respective leg for aligning with a respective top and bottom eyelid. Additionally, each of the extensions spaces the ring away from the eyeball associated with a top and bottom eyelids. In this way the ring aligns the bottle of eye drops with the eyeball for successfully dispensing eye drops onto the eyeball.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Inventor: Earl Kelly

Patent number: 10246812Abstract: A drying rack designed to easily mount to a vehicle or other similar structure that is portable and collapsible. The drying rack includes a U-shaped bracket, a first support arm, a second support arm, a drying rod, a first locking hinge, and a second locking hinge. The first support arm and the second support make up the frame and are positioned parallel and offset to each other. The first support arm is terminally mounted to a first leg of the U-shaped bracket through the first locking hinge. Similarly, the second support arm is terminally mounted to a second leg of the U-shaped bracket through the second locking hinge. The drying rod is perpendicularly connected in between the first support arm and the second support arm. Additionally, the drying rod and the U-shaped bracket are positioned opposite to each other, across the first support arm and the second support arm.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Inventor: Phillip Earl Kelly
