Publication number: 20240099485Abstract: A pillow cooling system uses a blower unit spaced from the pillow to cool the sleeping surface of the pillow. The blower unit uses a fan to either push or pull air through an air tube extending between the blower unit and the pillow. A distal end of the air tube is joined to an air passage extending from a central core of the pillow through a foam shell of the pillow which surrounds the core of the pillow. The core of the pillow allows air to pass therethrough more easily than the foam shell of the pillow, facilitating the breathability of the pillow.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Heidi Stojanovic, Sydney Wells, Matthew D.

Publication number: 20230374408Abstract: A kit for assembling an eco-friendlier and more sustainable alternative to traditional candles, which is also versatile and user-friendly. The candle kit disclosed herein is comprised of entirely or mostly natural granulated candle wax and one or more compatible candle wicks supplied together as a set, in a readily biodegradable, and/or recyclable, sturdy packaging box. In one non-limiting embodiment granulated candle wax is poured into an existing container rather than being offered pre-molded and stuck to a candle container like traditional candles. One or more of the wicks included in the product can be inserted directly into the wax particles by the consumer to complete the candle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Luks Holdings, LLCInventors: Heidi Stojanovic, Sirli Luht, Ivo Luht

Patent number: 11812861Abstract: A comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has liquid pods sandwiched between plies of fabric. The plies of fabric are joined with seams thereby creating pockets, at least one liquid pod being inside each pocket. Each seam joining opposed plies of fabric around each of the liquid pods of the comfort layer may be segmented or solid, depending upon the fabric and type of seam.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Heidi Stojanovic, Bruce W. Peterson

Patent number: 11814566Abstract: A flexible cellular foam or composition contains a flexible foam structure that comprises a plurality of highly thermally conductive solids including nanomaterials. The thermally conductive solids may be carbon nanomaterials or other metallic or non-metallic solids. The carbon nanomaterials may include, but are not necessarily limited to, carbon nanotubes and graphite nanoplatelets. The highly thermally conductive solids may include but are not limited to micro-sized solids that may include graphite flakes, for example. When mixed within flexible foam, the presence of nanomaterials may impart greater support factor, greater thermal conductivity, and/or a combination of these improvements. The flexible foam composition may be polyurethane foam, latex foam, polyether polyurethane foam, viscoelastic foam, high resilient foam, polyester polyurethane foam, foamed polyethylene, foamed polypropylene, expanded polystyrene, foamed silicone, melamine foam, among others.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Heidi Stojanovic, Tiffany Gramlich

Patent number: 11793319Abstract: A three-layered topper for a bedding or seating product has a first piece of foam, a second piece of foam and a pocketed spring comfort layer therebetween. The pocketed spring comfort layer has individually pocketed mini coil springs. At least one of the foam pieces may be infused with metallic particles to improve thermal conductivity. Alternatively, at least one of the foam pieces may be infused with microencapsulated phase change materials to improve heat absorption. At least one of the foam pieces may have a coating to further improve thermal conductivity or heat absorption.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2023Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Heidi Stojanovic, Bruce W.

Publication number: 20230174838Abstract: A flexible cellular foam or fabric product is coated with a coating including highly thermally conductive nanomaterials. The highly thermally conductive nanomaterials may be carbon nanomaterials, metallic, or non-metallic solids. The carbon nanomaterials may include, but are not necessarily limited to, carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoplatelets. The highly thermally conductive nanomaterials may include but are not limited to nano-sized solids that may include graphite flakes, for example. When coated on a surface of flexible foam, the presence of nanomaterials may impart greater thermal effusivity, greater thermal conductivity, and/or a combination of these improvements. The flexible foam product may be polyurethane foam, latex foam, polyether polyurethane foam, viscoelastic foam, high resilient foam, polyester polyurethane foam, foamed polyethylene, foamed polypropylene, expanded polystyrene, foamed silicone, melamine foam, among others.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Heidi Stojanovic, Aubrey Nicole Scherrey, Mark L.
