Patent number: 11872170Abstract: Disclosed herein is a patient lift system. The patient lift system includes a housing enclosing a frame, a geared spool mounted within the frame, a strap, a first carry bar and a second carry bar. The first carry bar attaches to the frame and extends external to the housing. The first carry bar encloses an electric motor having a drive shaft. The drive shaft is associated with a gear arranged to cooperate with the geared spool to, responsive to activation of the motor, turn the geared spool, thereby altering an amount of strap on the geared spool, thereby altering a distance between the housing and the connector. The second carry bar attaches to the frame and extends external to the housing. The second carry bar encloses a battery to provide electrical power to the electric motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Amico Mobility Solutions Corp.Inventor: Mark P. Chepurny

Patent number: 11267092Abstract: A debris control apparatus comprising a debris control enclosure, the enclosure further comprising a vacuum opening in the enclosure. The vacuum opening being sized, shaped and positioned to receiving a vacuum conduit, connected to a vacuum source, for extracting the debris from the enclosure. The debris control apparatus further comprising a mounting assembly for mounting the enclosure to a machine, such that, during operation, the enclosure moves along the work material as the cutting tool moves along the work material, the enclosure being mounted independent of movement of the cutting tool in and out of the work material. The mounting assembly comprises a depth adjuster for adjusting the operating depth of the enclosure. The depth of the enclosure can be adjusted such that the debris will be contained in the enclosure during operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Inventor: Mark P.
