Patent number: 9373976Abstract: A device charging system that uses the fact that individual devices do not need to be continuously charged for an extended charging period in order to be fully charged at the end of the period. With automatic timing and switching, different devices can be charged at different times during the charging period with the result that all the devices are fully charged at the end of the period. Several charging power boxes that fit into one or more charging cabinets that are controlled by one or more timers. Each charging power box also includes a heat sensor and circuit breaker. User appliances or electronic devices can be stacked in the cabinets, plugged into numerous outlets available on the charging power boxes and then locked inside the cabinet for overnight charging and security. Any abnormal rise in temperature within the cabinet can shut down the entire charging process.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Lucasey Manufacturing CompanyInventor: Edward L. O'Neill

Patent number: 6988698Abstract: A universal adaptor for facilitating the mounting of appliances. The universal adaptor includes upper and lower bracket plates. Either the upper or lower plate may include a mounting connector for engaging a commercially available mounting system. Bracket arms with slots may be located and clamped between the plates. A location pin may be used to engage the plates and the bracket arms, while mounting pins may be used to connect the bracket arms to the appliance. The bracket arm slots permit the bracket arms to be adjustably moved toward or away from the adaptor, facilitating connection between the bracket arms and receptors on the appliance. The bracket arm slots also permit the position of the location pin to be adjusted relative to the center of gravity of the appliance to further facilitate mounting of the appliance. The spacing of the adaptor relative to the appliance may also be adjusted to facilitate the mounting of appliances having varying surface mount topographies.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2004Date of Patent: January 24, 2006Assignee: Lucasay Manufacturing Co.Inventor: Edward L.
