Patent number: 12280960Abstract: A conveyor system includes a conveyor having an endless loop flexible member and a plurality of inserts. The conveyor system additionally includes a drive shaft and a sprocket coupled to the drive shaft. The sprocket includes a hub and a plurality of teeth extending radially outward from the hub, where at least one tooth is substantially planar and defines a channel having a plate disposed within the channel. The sprocket also includes a sprocket tooth cap fixedly coupled via an interference fit to the tooth and the plate. The sprocket tooth cap includes a first end defining a channel and an engagement face configured to drivingly engage the endless loop flexible member, and a second end defining a cavity. The cavity defining a pair of opposite facing surfaces, where the pair of opposite facing surfaces is configured to form the interference fit with the at least one tooth.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2023Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Intraco, Inc.Inventors: Millard M. Williams, John Adair, Larry Van Zee

Patent number: 10709601Abstract: A temperature regulating device for a user's neck includes a housing that extends about the neck and has a base portion, and first and second side portions. The side portions each have an air duct extending from an air inlet to an air outlet in communication with air inlets of an air duct within the base portion. Two thermoelectric are devices located within each of the side portions. Each thermoelectric device is in thermal connection with a cold space member at exterior sides of the side portions for contacting the lateral sides of the neck. Two fans within the base portion are configured to pull air through the side portions past the thermoelectric devices to the base portion and out through the air outlets of the base portion. Only the side portions of the housing selectively heat and cool the neck near pulse points of the neck.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Inventor: John Adair
