Patent number: 10125879Abstract: Disclosed is a pool jet fitting configured to direct flow of water in a closed loop pool pumping filtration system. The pool jet fitting may include a housing and a valve positioned in the housing. The housing may include a housing body that defines a bore that extends through the housing body. The valve may be positioned in the bore of the housing and may be configured to receive water flow from a water pump. The valve may define an adjustable opening having a dimension capable of automatically adjusting between a first dimension and a second dimension to facilitate a predetermined outflow velocity of the water received from the pump.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Eco-Blu Pool Components LLCInventors: Sean Walsh, James Patrick Mulhern

Patent number: 9554955Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tilt-in-space wheelchair that limits the shift of the center of a gravity of a wheelchair occupant during tilting. The wheelchair comprises a main frame adapted to be supported on a surface by wheels, a seat frame for supporting a occupant, and an arc plate for slidably or rollably supporting the seat frame with respect to the main frame. The arc plate defines a first track and a second track that guide the tilting of the seat frame relative to the frame. The first track and second track may have non-constant curvatures. Further, the first track and second track may be arranged non-concentrically on the arc plate and may have different lengths.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Pride Mobility Products CorporationInventors: Corey Blauch, James Patrick Mulhern

Patent number: 9267299Abstract: Disclosed is a pool jet fitting configured to direct flow of water in a closed loop pool pumping filtration system. The pool jet fitting may include a housing, and a valve positioned in the housing. The housing may include a housing body that defines a bore that extends through the housing body. The housing body may include a coupler that is configured to mate with a coupler of a wall mount so as to releasably couple the housing to the wall mount. The valve may be positioned in the bore of the housing and may be configured to receive water flow from a water pump. The valve may define an adjustable opening having a dimension capable of automatically adjusting between a first dimension and a second dimension to facilitate a predetermined outflow velocity of the water received from the pump.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2011Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Eco-Blu Pool Components LLCInventors: Sean Walsh, James Patrick Mulhern

Patent number: 9033360Abstract: A lift mechanism a power wheelchair includes linear actuators on opposing sides of the chair that provide a space into which a tilt mechanism can nest when the lift mechanism is in its retracted position. The linear actuators perform both the function of operating the lift mechanism and structurally supporting at least a part of the lift mechanism. The lift mechanism and tilt mechanism are each self-contained modules that can be optionally installed into the power wheelchair.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Pride Mobility Products CorporationInventors: Jonathan Davis, John Carminati, David Laslo, James Patrick Mulhern
