Publication number: 20240035281Abstract: Roofing panels with water shedding features may be installed on the roof of a house or other structure in lieu of or as an underlayment for traditional roofing materials. The water shedding features can be built into a base of the roofing panels, as part of a frame for the roofing panels, or formed as part of a waterproofing layer applied to the base of the roofing panels, or which can be configured as a roofing panel. The roofing panels also can be installed in overlapping courses along a roof with water shedding features applied thereto or incorporated along one or more peripheral edges. The water shedding features of adjacent roofing panels will collect and divert water away from the upper surfaces and/or away from headlap and/or sidelap joints defined between the roofing panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Daniel E. Boss, Trieu Nguyen, Kevin A. Pollack, David Gennrich, Eric R. Anderson, Matthew J. Poster

Publication number: 20230003028Abstract: Panels with substantially integrated watershedding features may be installed on the roof a house or other structure in lieu of traditional roofing materials. The panels include a body formed from a mixture of filler materials and polymeric binder materials, which can include recycled materials, with watershedding features generally formed with and/or integrated with the panels. The panels also can be installed in overlapping courses along a roof with the watershedding features incorporated along one or more peripheral edges. The watershedding features of adjacent panels further can cooperated to collect and divert water away from the upper surfaces and/or away headlap and/or sidelap joints defined between the panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventors: Daniel E.

Publication number: 20210198891Abstract: A roofing system comprises layered construction panels, each having a bottom structural layer to provide strength and support. A performance layer overlies the structural layer and provides performance or functional characteristics such as water proofing, water shedding and/or impact resistance. An upper or decorative layer overlies the performance layer and provides aesthetic features or a decorative appearance for the roofing system. The decorative layer of the construction panels can be removed without damaging or affecting the performance layer. The appearance of a roof can thereby be changed at will without requiring that the entire roofing system be removed and replaced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2020Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Daniel E. Boss, Kevin A. Pollack, Denis Tibah, Trieu Nguyen

Patent number: 9585719Abstract: A container for disposing of waste includes a receptacle, a first pivoting member having a first disposal surface and a first pair of opposing sides, and a second pivoting member having a second disposal surface and a second pair of opposing sides. The second pair of opposing sides are operatively coupled to the first pair of opposing sides such that waste deposited on either the first disposal surface or the second disposal surface causes concurrent counter rotation of both the first pivoting member and the second pivoting member. The first pivoting member includes a pair of opposing projections secured in a stationary position to the first pair of opposing sides and the second pivoting member includes a pair of opposing apertures formed in a stationary position in the second pair of opposing sides. The opposing projections translate within the opposing apertures during the concurrent counter rotation.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: STERICYCLE, INC.Inventors: Daniel E. Goldstein, Kevin A. Pollack, John C. Japuntich, Scott I. Biba, Mark S. Dirr

Patent number: 8998031Abstract: A container for disposing of waste includes a receptacle and a first pivoting member functionally associated with the receptacle. The first pivoting member includes a first disposal surface. A second pivoting member functionally associated with the receptacle includes a second disposal surface. The second pivoting member is operatively coupled to the first pivoting member such that waste deposited on either the first disposal surface or the second disposal surface causes concurrent counter rotation of both the first pivoting member and the second pivoting member to dispose of the waste into the receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2011Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Stericycle, Inc.Inventors: Daniel E. Goldstein, Kevin A. Pollack, John C. Japuntich, Scott I. Biba, Mark S. Dirr
