Patent number: 6881163Abstract: A portable basketball stand apparatus includes a frame member for supporting a backboard and rim assembly, a base member for supporting the frame member, and wheels that allow the base member to move over a supporting surface. A reciprocating actuator displaces the frame member between a storage position and a playing position. One or more front wheels lie adjacent the front or first end of the base member, the end most proximate the backboard and rim assembly when the frame extends to the playing position. These front wheels move relative to the base member between a lowered position in which the base member lies above the supporting surface and a raised position in which the base member engages the supporting surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2003Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Porter Athletic Equipment CompanyInventors: Edward A. Schroeder, Randolph J. Mical

Publication number: 20040220700Abstract: Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for controlling heating/cooling equipment to maintain a more consistently comfortable controlled environment. The process responds to minute fractional degree temperature changes in combination with logic to maintain high temperature consistency while protecting equipment from excessive rapid cycling. An encoding and decoding algorithm of the process saves thermostat cable conductors while assuring high reliability operation. A particular feature of the present invention is a one touch means of temporarily modifying the effective temperature setting on demand without complex programming actions, and returning to the original temperature setting automatically after a period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2004Publication date: November 4, 2004Inventors: David Harvey Schroeder, Russell Edward Schroeder
