Patent number: 10957014Abstract: In a system and method for producing a mosaic image, a printable substrate has a front side that defines a first area and a second area. Both the first and second areas are printable. A back side of the printable substrate features a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a backing. The first area corresponds to a region of a physical matrix of regions. A source image may be printed on the first area to define a tile and an address of the tile on the matrix of regions may be printed on the second area. The tile may be peeled from the backing separately from the second area to reveal the pressure sensitive adhesive. Users may adhere a plurality of tiles to the matrix of regions at the addresses on the second areas to define the mosaic image.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Picture Mosaics LLCInventors: Albert Joseph Charpentier, Joseph Walter Charpentier

Patent number: 10835846Abstract: An improved pool skimmer is provided in which a skimmer basket grapnel having a pair of aligned removable paddles adapted for attachment to a skimmer basket sidewall and for blocking suction within a skimmer basket volume. The paddles each include a vertically sliding gate which, when opened, released vacuum within the skimmer basket. This allows the basket to be easily removed. The sliding gate stems articulate vertically to open and close. The apex of the stems attaches to a handle, whereupon an upward pulling motion actuates the two paddle gates open. Once a vacuum seal is broken, the attachment to the basket sidewall allows further upward motion to remove the basket from its skimmer housing. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Inventor: Joseph Walter Carpenter
