Patent number: 11783800Abstract: A foldable stringed instrument, for example in the form of a travel guitar that folds mid-neck to assume a reduced profile is described. The mid-neck folding is accomplished in a symmetrical manner about a three-part hinge located in the neck to configure the travel guitar into a reduced profile. The bridge assembly can be translated longitudinally relative to the head of the guitar to allow sufficient detensioning of the guitar strings to enable an upper portion of the neck to be folded away from a lower portion of the neck and/or body to assume a reduced profile. To deploy the travel guitar for playing, the upper portion of the neck is unfolded into alignment with the lower portion of the neck and/or body, and the bridge assembly translated longitudinally relative to the head and locked in position to allow the guitar to be tuned for playing.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Ciari Guitars, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan D. Spangler, James Coleman Lee, Matthew Poster, Jesse Darley, Elliot Sather

Publication number: 20230310760Abstract: In some embodiments, a housing can define a reservoir. A lower cap can be coupled to the housing and define an outlet, and an upper cap can be coupled to the housing and can define an inlet. The upper cap can include an extending portion extending laterally a distance beyond an outermost extending portion of the lower cap relative to a central axis of the housing such that, when the lower cap and the extending portion of the upper cap contact a horizontal surface, the central axis of the housing is transverse to the surface and a sealing member is configured to sealingly engage a sealing surface of a valve seat prior to a liquid fluid level within a reservoir decreasing below a minimum threshold fluid level.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: 410 Medical, Inc.Inventors: Galen C. ROBERTSON, Andrew W. LANE, Savannah K. CARLSEN, Mark D. PIEHL, Robert W. TITKEMEYER, Stephen LATHAM, Douglas RODENKIRCH, Jesse DARLEY, Curtis IRWIN, Amrish CHOURASIA

Publication number: 20210325916Abstract: In some embodiments, a tube portion can be configured to be fluidically coupled to a patient access component. A source of pressurized fluid can be coupled to the tube portion and can be configured to deliver fluid to the tube portion at a source pressure. A fluid pressure regulating device can include an expandable reservoir and can be coupled to the tube portion such that the expandable reservoir is in fluidic communication with the tube portion. The fluid pressure regulating device can be configured such that, when fluid is delivered from the source of pressurized fluid to the lumen of the tube portion at the source pressure, the expandable reservoir of the fluid pressure regulating device can receive fluid such that the expandable reservoir of the fluid pressure regulating device expands and fluid is delivered from the lumen of the tube portion to the patient via the patient access component.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2020Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Andrew LANE, Savannah CARLSEN, Galen C.

Publication number: 20160120414Abstract: A device supported by a user while the user is in locomotion on foot during an outing to automatically measure amounts of time taken by the user to complete respective distance intervals. During the outing, data representing the automatically measured amounts of time may be automatically stored in memory of the device. During the outing, the device may display at least one of an average pace of the user since a most recently completed distance interval, an average speed of the user since the most recently completed distance interval, and a projected time to complete a current distance interval based on monitored performance since the most recently completed distance interval. The device may determine a remaining distance to be traveled to complete a specified goal distance for the outing and a calculated fraction of the specified goal distance for the outing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2016Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Jesse Darley, Thomas P.

Publication number: 20150320190Abstract: A securing apparatus may be configured to secure a wearable item to any one of a variety of different graspable articles, in a suitable manner. The securing apparatus may include a securing portion, having multiple securing members. The stiffness of one of the securing members may differ from the stiffness of another securing member. The securing members may be cantilevers. In some embodiments, the anchored end of one of the cantilevers may be attached to the deflecting end of another cantilever. One of the cantilevers may deform plastically due to repeated usage with relatively thick garments, though, by employing at least one additional cantilever in an appropriate manner, the ability to grip thinner garments in a suitable manner remains uncompromised.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2014Publication date: November 12, 2015Applicant: FitLinxx, Inc.Inventors: Paul J.

Publication number: 20140338931Abstract: An aerosol fire extinguisher for dispensing a liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent, and a composition for the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent, where the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent is rated for class A, B, C and K fires. The fire extinguisher includes a container and a valve assembly affixed to the container. A hag is positioned within the container, where the bag includes an output tube connected in fluid communication to the valve assembly. An actuator is connected in fluid communication to the valve assembly opposite the output tube, where. the actuator has an elongated output orifice. A liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent is disposed within the bag and a propellant is disposed within the container, wherein the bag isolates the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent from the propellant. The: configuration of the elongated output orifice expels the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent in a substantially planar pattern onto the fire.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: BRK Brands, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Mori, Robert Challman, Mark Binter, Stephen Latham, John Boland, Kent Kallsen, Jesse Darley, Dave Franchino
