Patent number: 11781713Abstract: A mobile storage apparatus for containers is provided. The apparatus provides a unique support assembly for holding a container. The assembly includes a latch mechanism that allows a clamp of cylinder to be moved from a closed position to an open position which creates clearance around a neck of cylinder to allow it to rotate without falling out of clamp. The other end of apparatus is structurally configured with a release plunger that can be retracted to allow rotation of cylinder along said other end. Rotatable wheels on a user side with a braking mechanism along a handle and a foot ledge allow improved maneuverability and stability.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Praxair Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mayank Pareek, Ashwini K Sinha, Stanley M Smith, Ranko Bursac, Amber L Boll, Merry Riehm-Constantino, Amy Beth Hangen, Fred A. Marconi, Jr.

Patent number: 11350675Abstract: A vape cleaning device for easily and thoroughly cleaning vape coils for reuse and avoiding the need for frequent replacement. The device has a base enclosing a fan oriented to direct air upwardly, a heat block suspended above the fan, a heating element coupled to the heat block, and a shield coupled to the base and having a central opening. A cup is removably positioned in the central opening of the shield and in contact with the heat block to be heated thereby. A vape coil holder may removably suspended in the cup that the vape coil is submerged in a cleaning fluid in the cup. After the cup has been warmed to a predetermined temperature for a cleaning cycle, the cup may be removed and the vape coil holder suspended from the shield. The fan may then be operated for a predetermined time period for a drying cycle.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Inventors: Mary Beth Riehlman, Terry Anne Bocklet, Michael J.

Patent number: 10743459Abstract: A hand-held spreader is provided having a housing with a compartment for particulate material, a chamber below the compartment having a bottom wall with a circular aperture, an impeller mounted for rotation in the chamber along such bottom wall responsive to a hand crank, a discharge opening, and a path along which the particulate material passes into the chamber for discharge via the discharge opening. The impeller has an outer circular periphery proximal to and extending over an outer edge of the aperture to form a gap between the impeller and the bottom wall of the chamber that seals the gap from the particulate material larger than the gap from entering under the impeller and risking obstruction of impeller rotation. Any particulate material that enters the gap passes downward through the aperture to enable self-cleaning of particulate material that would otherwise collect under the impeller in the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: CHAPIN MANUFACTURING, INC.Inventors: Neil J. Rosenbaum, Howard S. Ryan, Fred A. Marconi, Jr.

Patent number: 10239663Abstract: A handheld container for dispensing particulate matter having an opening and a moveable cover for the opening positioned at the bottom of the container. The cover has a pivoting lid that can selectively open or close the opening of the container and assist with dispersal of particulate from the container while a user holds the container in an upright position. The lid may swing outward from the container or hinge into an open position and include a series of ribs for improving the dispersal of particulate.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Inventors: Neil Rosenbaum, Fred Marconi, Scott Ryan

Patent number: 9222231Abstract: A handheld spreader having a fillable container for dispensing particulate from an electrically powered blower assembly in a detachable base. The spreader includes a feed slide leading from the container to the air stream channel of the base that has a vibrating eccentric plate for guiding and improving the flow of particulate from container into the air stream. The container and base are frictionally engaged together, thereby allowing for easy assembly of spreader, including assembly after container has been filled with particulate, as well as easy reassembly if container is removed and refilled. The spreader includes a rotating slide that may be operated by a user to open and partially close the feed slide of the container to control the feed rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Inventor: Fred Marconi

Publication number: 20140056728Abstract: A motion-powered liquid sprayer that can increase the number of rotations of the pump relative to each rotation of the wheel or axle is provided. The sprayer can include a gearing assembly that employs gears to increase the number of pump revolutions as a function of the wheel or axle rotation. The sprayer can also include a gear pump that employs an over-capacity or enhanced gullet together with blow-by spacing to control consistent liquid flow relative to variable motional velocities. Further, the sprayer can include a vertically adjustable nozzle as well as a free reverse rotation wheel hub.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2013Publication date: February 27, 2014Applicant: EARTHWAY PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey D.

Publication number: 20130001332Abstract: An electrically-powered spreader for spreading a granular product is disclosed. The spreader may comprise a cap used to close a bottle containing the granular product. When in the open position, the bottle may be tilted into a position in which the granular product is fed by the force of gravity through an opening and into the spreader cap. A moving member within the spreader cap interacts with the granular product to propel it out of an opening in the spreader cap. In this way, the granular product is broadcast out of the bottle and onto the treatment area around the bottle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Inventor: Fred A. Marconi, JR.
