Publication number: 20230112335Abstract: This disclosure provides a portable lamp worn on the head and method of construction for the portable lamp. The construction method forms a composite structure that improves the comfort, reduces the volume, and better distributes the weight of the components of the lamp. The method of construction allows for a flexible material or set of flexible materials to be used to encapsulate the rigid parts of the headlamp. The flexible and rigid materials can be joined together in a heat press process that results in a single composite structure that has both attributes of the rigid material(s) and the flexible material(s) in different areas of the lamp. The battery can be located at the back or otherwise remote from the light to improve weight distribution and comfort for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Anton Olof Ljunggren, Andrew Laska, Jonathan N. Cedar, Melinda Abbruzzi, David Ryan Gist

Publication number: 20220404021Abstract: A combustion device includes a combustion chamber with an outer wall enclosing a combustion space that can contain a fuel source on an adjustable fuel rack, side walls, a lower air jet tube and at least one air upper jet tube, a top opening, a grill top assembly to cover the opening, and a detachable power module. The power module can have batteries and a blower. The blower can force ambient air into a manifold, through the jet tubes, through ports in the jet tubes, and into the combustion chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Alexander H. Drummond, Jonathan N. Cedar, Timothy M. Connelly, Venkatesh R. Iyer, David Ryan Gist, Melinda Abbruzzi, Benjamin E. Zelnick, Steven Michael Grind

Patent number: 10342385Abstract: This invention provides a portable combustion device that provides a cleaner combustion, provides a more efficient overall combustion through the use of a fan that directs a predetermined volume of airflow over the combustible fuel—typically wood or similar cellulose-based biological solids and provides a cooking surface that is a grill top. The combustion device has a combustion chamber into which the fuel source is placed for combustion. Mounted to the side of the combustion chamber is a housing that encloses the TEG, which generates an electrical output, based on a difference in temperature on opposing sides. Mounted onto the TEG housing and protruding into the combustion chamber through a small passageway is a heat-conducting probe and heat-conducting probe base unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: BioLite LLCInventors: Jonathan N.

Patent number: 8851062Abstract: This invention provides a portable combustion device that provides a cleaner combustion, reduces the kindling period, and provides a more efficient overall combustion through the use of a fan that directs a predetermined volume of airflow over the combustible fuel—typically wood or similar cellulose-based biological solids. The combustion device has a combustion chamber with a fuel source. A housing encloses the TEG on the side of the device that generates an electrical output based on a temperature differential between opposing TEG sides. A heat-conducting probe is mounted to the TEG and protrudes into the combustion chamber. The opposing TEG side contacts a heat sink that interacts with ambient air. A fan draws heated air away the heat sink, and forces the air onto the combusting fuel through a plurality of peripheral ports that connect with an air space located between inner and outer walls of the combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2012Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Biolite, LLCInventors: Jonathan N.

Publication number: 20140178548Abstract: This invention provides a pot assembly for use with a stove. The system includes a lid, a pot body and an adapter assembly. The lid has a cap for accessing the contents while in use, a pour spout for dispensing the contents and a plurality of slits for use as a strainer. The pot body has folding handles that can form a triangular structure for control. The adapter assembly has an upper flame flange and a lower flame flange and baffles to directionally vector the stove's combustion gasses away from the assembly. The adapter assembly has a centering ring to engage the top of the stove and maintain stability during use. The pot assembly can be used as a storage container for the stove.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: BioLite LLCInventors: Alexander H.

Publication number: 20090235535Abstract: A tool for releasably securing a blade is provided. The tool includes a housing, a blade retracting mechanism, a blade retaining portion, a blade opening and an actuator. The blade retracting mechanism is movable between a retracted position and a working position. The blade retaining portion is located on the blade retracting mechanism. The blade retaining portion has at least two blade retaining surfaces cooperating to releasably secure the blade to the blade retracting mechanism. The blade retaining surfaces are located a first distance from one another in a blade retaining position and located a second distance from one another in a blade releasing position, the second distance being greater than the first distance. The blade opening is defined by the housing for inserting and removing the blade from the blade retaining portion. The actuator is for manipulating the blade retaining mechanism between the retracted position and the working position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2008Publication date: September 24, 2009Inventors: Michael Circosta, Anthony Di Bitonto, Anton Ljunggren, Jonathan N.
