Patent number: 10253944Abstract: A light fixture example includes a housing, a light source in the housing and a diffuser. The diffuser is supported by the housing at a distance from the source so as to receive light from the source and diffuse the light for illumination. The diffuser has a three-dimensional compound curvature and a perimeter with at least two edges connected at vertices. Each such edge is a two-dimensional plane curve. The at least two edges are not coplanar with each other. In some examples, a back panel of the housing may have a similar three-dimensional compound curvature and perimeter.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Christopher Jay Sorensen, Carl T.

Patent number: 7267516Abstract: A light pole erector and remover (10) for pedestal mounted light poles (74) that is comprised of three major elements: a transportation dolly (20), a pedestal attaching and lifting mechanism (22), and a pole tilting mechanism (24). The dolly (20) has fixed and steerable wheels attached to a tongue (34). The mechanism (22) is hinged to the dolly (20) and has a pair of base support arms (52) that embrace a concrete pedestal (56). Each arm (52) has a ratchet buckle tie-down (58) used for encircling the pedestal (56) and securing the mechanism (24) to the pedestal (56). The mechanism (24) is pivotally affixed to the mechanism (22) and includes a pair of ratchet buckle tie-downs (58) that encircle and secure the pole (74) to the invention (10). The pole (74) is horizontally positioned on the tilting mechanism (24), tied down and rotated to a vertical position over the concrete pedestal (56) and then lowered for attachment to the pedestal (56).Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2005Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Inventor: Jay A. Sorensen

Patent number: 6709215Abstract: A light-pole erecting and lowering apparatus (10) that is designed to allow a single person to install, remove and service a light pole (136) that is attached to an above-ground concrete pedestal (130). The apparatus (10) consists of an integrated unit that incorporates three major elements: a transporting dolly (12), a pole platform and pedestal attachment frame (34) and a pivoting pole-securing assembly (70). The dolly (12) includes a set of wheels (28) and casters (30) that allow the apparatus (10) to be transported over various surfaces. The pole platform and pedestal attachment frame (34) allows the apparatus (10) to be placed in either a horizontal storage and transporting position or in a vertical position. The pivoting pole-securing assembly (70) includes a pole securing platform (86) and means for allowing the platform (86) to be rotated to either a horizontal or to a vertical position and to adjust the height of an erected platform (86).Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2002Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: J-Jack CorporationInventor: Jay A.

Patent number: 5425497Abstract: A cup holder is disclosed in the form of a sheet with distal ends. A web is formed in one of the ends, and a corresponding slot is formed in the other end such that the ends interlock. Thus the cup holder is assembled by rolling the sheet and interlocking the ends. The sheet can be an elongate band of pressed material, preferably pressed paper pulp, and is preferably formed with multiple nubbins and depressions. In one embodiment, the sheet has a top and bottom that are arcuate and concentric, and matching webs and cuts are formed in each end of the sheet, with the cuts being perpendicular to the top of the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1993Date of Patent: June 20, 1995Inventor: Jay Sorensen
