Patent number: 10240710Abstract: An insulation compression reduction assembly for reducing compression of an insulating material surrounding a horizontally extending pipe in combination with a pipe support supporting said pipe. The compression reduction assembly includes a base pressure skate element sized and shaped to fit within the pipe support, a pipe holder structure sized and shaped to rest against an outer surface of the horizontal extending pipe, and a spacing element connecting the base pressure skate element and the pipe holder structure and forming an offset spacing therebetween for reducing compression of the insulating material. An insulation compression reduction kit of disassembled components of the above assembly that can be used to form the above compression reduction assembly is also provided according to the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Inventors: Martin Boudreau, Christian Montplaisir

Patent number: 8297561Abstract: A pipe support for supporting a horizontally extending pipe in combination with a vertical hanger. The pipe support comprises a U-shaped body being opened at a top end thereof. The pipe support also comprises a pair of transversal vertical ribs, located on the outer surface of the body and extending transversally to an axis formed between the extremities of the body. The pair of transversal vertical ribs forms a space to receive the hanger therebetween, the space being positioned between the first and second extremities of the body. The pipe support further comprises a shock detection mechanism attachable to the pipe support. The shock detection mechanism comprises a shock indicator movable between a hold position and an alert position indicative that the pipe support was subjected to a shock exceeding a predetermined threshold force. A pipe support kit is also provided according to the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Inventors: Christian Montplaisir, Martin Boudreau

Patent number: 8015639Abstract: A folding bed for supporting an intended user having a torso and a pair of lower limbs. First and second supporting sections are provided for supporting respectively the torso and the lower limbs and are pivotally coupled together through a first-to-second section pivotal link for pivotal movement between an extended configuration and a bent configuration. When the first and second supporting sections are respectively in the extended and bent configurations, the first-to-second section pivotal link is respectively at a first and a second level relative to the frame base, the second level being substantially lower than the first level. The first and second supporting sections are movable by the intended user between the extended and bent configurations with the intended user laying in the bed and moving the torso with respect to the lower limbs to change an angle therebetween and cause a corresponding change in an angle between the first and second supporting sections.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2010Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Inventor: Martin Boudreau

First and second supporting sections are provided for supporting respectively the torso and the lower limbs and are pivotally coupled together through a first-to-second section pivotal link for pivotal movement between an extended configuration and a bent configuration. When the first and second supporting sections are respectively in the extended and bent configurations, the first-to-second section pivotal link is respectively at a first and a second level relative to the frame base, the second level being substantially lower than the first level. A retaining member attached to the first supporting section constrains the movement of the first supporting section such that when the first and second supporting sections are moved from the elongated configuration to the bent configuration, the second supporting section is moved towards the retaining member.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Inventor: Martin Boudreau
