Publication number: 20220218069Abstract: The present disclosure describes a shoe that may be transformed from a high heel shoe to a low heel shoe. The shoe may include three parts: a removable stelo, a removable high heel attachment, and the corresponding attachment systems integrated into the base shoe sole. The removable high heel attachment may be a standard heel of any design, width and height that has a locking system comprising a threaded post located at the heel base. When the stelo and heel attachment are attached, the shoe may be a high heel shoe. When they are removed, the shoe may be a low heel shoe, or flat shoe.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Haley Pavone, Seiji Alexander van Bronkhorst, Tyler Elise Unbehand, Daniel William Peter, Mark Christopher Thompson, David Sheldon Perry, Carina Mary Hamel, Robert Hart Ringer

Patent number: 10358790Abstract: A soil spreading scraper device has a cutting blade to cut soil from the ground and a rotating impeller member for spreading the cut soil as the frame is displaced forwardly. The impeller member includes a main disc body and a plurality of impeller blades on the main disc body which are pivotal relative to the body between a working position in which the blade body extends in a direction of the impeller axis away from the main disc body and a deflected position in which the blade body extends in a circumferential direction of the disc body in a trailing relationship relative to the pivot axis of the blade body. An actuating assembly resists displacement of the blade body into the deflected position until pressure on the paddle exceeds a prescribed holding force. A spring biases the body to return to the working position.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Elmer's Welding & Manufacturing LTD.Inventor: Mark Christopher Thompson

Patent number: 10125472Abstract: A ditch forming implement, for use with a working vehicle, has a frame for towing connection to the working vehicle and which supports a rotatable impeller member thereon for spreading soil in a laterally outward direction relative to a forward path of the implement. A driven pulley wheel is fixed to a rear of the impeller member for rotation together relative to the frame. A drive shaft assembly operatively transfers rotational drive from a power take-off of the working vehicle to a driven pulley wheel on the frame, to be subsequently transferred to the driven pulley wheel by a drive belt connected between the driven and drive pulley wheels.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Dynamic Ditchers Inc.Inventor: Mark Christopher Thompson

Patent number: 9943131Abstract: Footwear assembly comprising a foot bed in an interior area defined by an upper and positioned atop a sole assembly, wherein the foot bed has a plurality of air holes through the forefoot and/or arch portions, and has air channels connected to the air holes. A compressible convex pump in the foot bed's heel portion faces the sole assembly and is movable between expanded and compressed positions. In the expanded position, the pump supports a portion of the heel portion apart from the sole assembly to define an air chamber coupled to the air channels. Movement of the pump member from the expanded position to the compressed position causes the air chamber to collapse and forces air from the air chamber through the air channels and upwardly through the air holes into the interior area of the upper, wherein the pump member is biased toward the expanded position.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: LaCrosse Footwear, Inc.Inventors: Ryan James Foust, Mark Christopher Thompson

Patent number: 9739033Abstract: A rotary ditcher attachment is selectively mounted onto the bottom of an excavator implement. The rotary ditcher attachment has an attachment frame including a mounting bracket for releasable mounting onto a tool mount on the boom of the excavator implement. A rotary disc assembly on the attachment frame includes a rotor supported for rotation relative to the attachment frame about a disc axis, and a plurality of blades supported on the rotor for cutting into the ground as the rotor is rotated. A drive motor for driving rotation of the rotor relative to the attachment frame is supported on the attachment frame so as to be releasable from the boom together with the attachment frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Inventor: Mark Christopher Thompson
