Patent number: 11369841Abstract: An exercise apparatus having a frame with attachments to multiple independent bidirectional resistance devices used by arms and/or legs of a user to provide resistance against movement of the user's appendages in two substantially opposed directions. The resistance devices may have a mechanism to control bi-directional resistance. The movement of the user's appendages in bi-directional resistance offers near full body exercise of agonist/antagonist muscles using flexion and extension action of larger muscle groups in a gait pattern, simultaneously. Hand engaging members attach to arm resistance devices and foot engaging members attach to leg resistance devices. The exercise apparatus may include an attached inclined backboard, mat, bench, or cushion to fully or partially support the user. The exercise apparatus may have separate height and/or length adjustment mechanisms for adjusting a range of motion of the user's appendages.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Inventors: Peter Lind, Kenneth Courian, Andrew Sorg

Patent number: 10925399Abstract: Modular organizer systems and components thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first panel may include a plurality of elongate and parallel structural members and a plurality of bridges that are attached to, or formed with, a first portion of the plurality of structural members such that (a) a bridge spans between the first portions of each pair of adjacent structural members and (b) a cavity is defined between second portions of each pair of adjacent structural members. Bridge(s) may be sized to be received in a cavity of a second panel. The first panel may additionally include a projection assembly having a projection member and a projection bridge, which may be configured to be received in the second end structural member of a third panel. The second end structural member may include an opening configured to receive at least a portion of a projection assembly of a fourth panel.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: RDLL Investments LLCInventors: Raye Miles, Douglas Porter, John Dorrance, Kenneth Courian

Publication number: 20200360776Abstract: Golf tool devices and golf clubs having those devices attached to, or incorporated with, their grips are disclosed. In some embodiments, the golf tool device includes a housing and a tool assembly attached to the housing. The tool assembly includes a base jaw and a gripper jaw pivotably connected to the base jaw. The tool assembly additionally includes a spring connected to the gripper jaw and configured to urge the gripper jaw toward the base jaw. The golf tool device additionally includes a mode selector assembly configured to selectively switch operation of the gripper jaw between at least two modes. The at least two modes include a first mode in which the gripper jaw moves in response to urging of the spring, and a second mode in which the gripper jaw is secured in a first position that is spaced away from the base jaw against urging of the spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Applicant: Jolley Enterprises, LLCInventors: Michael Jolley, Kenneth Courian

Publication number: 20200330821Abstract: A rehabilitative and/or exercise machine that has a frame with attachments to multiple independent bidirectional resistance devices (pneumatic, hydraulic, spring actuated, pulley system, cam, or any other resistance devices) used by the arms and/or legs to provide resistance against movement of the user's appendages in two substantially opposed directions. The resistance devices may have a mechanism such as one or more valves, brakes, springs, or the like that control bi-directional resistance. The action of the arms and/or legs in bi-directional resistance offers near full body exercise of the agonist/antagonist muscles using flexion and extension action of the larger muscle groups in a gait pattern, simultaneously. Hand engaging members attach to the arm resistance devices and foot engaging members attach to the leg resistance devices. The unit may include an attached inclined backboard, mat, bench, or cushion to fully or partially support the user, such as for the user to sit or lay on.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2019Publication date: October 22, 2020Inventors: Peter Lind, Kenneth Courian, Andrew Sorg

Publication number: 20050088479Abstract: A fluid-ejection assembly of one embodiment is disclosed comprising first and second arrays of fluid-ejection mechanisms, first and second service stations, and first and second drive mechanisms. The first array ejects fluid onto media; the first service station is to service the first array. The second array ejects fluid onto the media; the second service station is to service the second array. The first drive mechanism moves the first array between a first position to eject fluid onto the media and a second position at the first service station, while the second array ejects fluid onto the media in place of the first array. The second drive mechanism moves the second array between a third position to eject fluid onto the media and a fourth position at the second service station while the first array ejects fluid onto the media in place of the second array.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2003Publication date: April 28, 2005Inventors: Steve Steinfield, Scott Hock, Myron Bezenek, Victor Escobedo, Kenneth Courian, Mohammad Samii, Juan Vives, Antoni Murcia, David Berardelli
