Publication number: 20250052448Abstract: A system for use with a fuel-burning water heater and a ventilation conduit is disclosed. The fuel-burning water heater is configured to burn fuel and generate gaseous exhaust and condensate from the burning of the fuel. The ventilation conduit is configured to remove the gaseous exhaust from the fuel-burning water heater. The system includes an input port configured to receive the gaseous exhaust and the condensate, a neutralizing material holder configured to house a condensate neutralizing material therein and to receive the condensate from the input port, a gas output port configured to provide the gaseous exhaust to the ventilation conduit, and a liquid output port configured to output condensate from the neutralizing material holder. The neutralizing material holder is disposed between the input port and the liquid output port.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Saman Beyhaghi, Shubham Srivastava, Bruce Andrew Hotton, Grady Britton, Christopher James Lloyd, Juan Francisco Caretta Garcia, Benjamin Jordan Shewmake, Ashwin Vishwanath Rao, Daniel Alexis Reyes Espinoza, Marco Antonio Lopez Villagran, David Isai Vega Fernandez, Vishwanath Reddy Ardha

Patent number: 10624472Abstract: The invention relates to an optimized folding display, comprising two facing main side panels (1, 2), a traverse assembly (3) formed by narrow and elongated rectangular boards of semi-flexible sheet material, and fixing means (11, 12, 13, 14) for keeping the traverses fixed to the outer surface of the corresponding side panel (1, 2). The traverses (3) have their planes separated a given distance, so they form an articulated rhombus which can diagonally be closed from an expanded position into a folded position. Furthermore, the display has at least one shelf element (15) located between the two side panels (1, 2) and resting flat on the traverses (3) located at a similar height, forming a shelving assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: FASTER DISPLAYS LLCInventor: Francisco López Fernández

Patent number: 9965980Abstract: Deployable display with an expansion system comprising a traction elastic element. The elastic element is basically formed by an elastic band which is annular or is cord-type with engaging elements, and optionally by at least one extension for extending the length of a said band, formed by a plate made of flexible or semi-flexible sheet material provided with engaging elements for said elastic band, the assembly in turn being engaged to side projections of the display. The limiting system is implemented by the reduction in the elastic force and/or by the own resting length of the elastic band in cooperation, where appropriate, with the length of the extension element.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: FASTER DISPLAYS LLCInventor: Francisco López Fernández

Publication number: 20140014606Abstract: The fold-out shelving unit comprises a rear panel (1), side panels (2) movable between a folded position, wherein said panels are coplanar, and an expanded position, wherein the side panels (2) are perpendicular to the rear panel (1), a moving support panel (3) extending from one to the other of the side panels (2) and a shelf panel (4) foldable over the rear panel (1). The support panel (3) and the shelf panel (4) are cinematically linked to one another and to the side panels (2) by first and second cinematic linking means so that the support panel (3) gets closer and away parallel to the rear panel (1) and the shelf panel (4) pivots relative to the rear panel (1) when the side panels (2) move between the folded position and the expanded position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventors: Ferran MESTRES ARMENGOL, Francisco LOPEZ FERNANDEZ

Patent number: 8286809Abstract: A self-expanding foldable structure for a display has a structure that includes a pair of side walls (2) hinged at respective connection edges (2a) to opposing edges of a back wall (1) and a shelf (3) linked to the back and side walls (1, 2) such that they can adopt a flat position in which the back wall, side walls and shelf (1, 2, 3) are substantially coplanar and an expanded position in which the back wall, side walls and shelf (1, 2, 3) form respective dihedrons. An elastic element is arranged to push the structure to the expanded position. The side walls (2) comprise a transverse fold line (14) having one or more scored sections (14a) wherein an inner structure of the wall material is crushed, in combination with one or more cut sections (14b) wherein said inner structure of the wall material has flat edges that can mutually face and support one another in the expanded position.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2010Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Inventors: Ferran Mestres Armengol, Francisco López Fernandez

Patent number: 8099883Abstract: The invention relates to a display unit including of two panels which are joined along the lateral edges thereof, and at least one push unit joined to one of the panels and including first and second edges wherein at least the second edge is a free edge. The inventive display unit can be collapsed, whereby the element and the panels are disposed back-to-back adopting a flat configuration. The invention also includes a pull element intended to rotate, curve or bend the push element thereby pushing the free second edge of the push element towards one of the two panels in order to expand the panels automatically from the collapsed configuration to a service position in which the display unit it adopts a convex configuration able to stand upright.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2010Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Promotec Publicidad, S.L.Inventors: Fernando Mestres Armengol, Francisco López Fernandez
