  • Patent number: 10258088
    Abstract: Embodiments of a diffuser device, system, and method for diffusing exhaled vapor that is inhaled from a vaper producing device. In one embodiment, the diffuser device includes a first tubular portion, a second tubular portion, and a removable, disposable filter. The first tubular portion includes a length and a first interior surface that defines a first bore extending through the first tubular portion along the length, the first interior surface defining a first ledge. The second tubular portion includes a second interior surface that defines a second bore. The second tubular portion is removably and rotatably coupled to the first tubular portion such that the second bore is coaxial with the first bore. The removable, disposable filter may include a cylindrical structure sized to be positioned within the first bore between the first ledge and an end of the second tubular portion.

  • Patent number: 10001251
    Abstract: A portable lantern may include a body that extends from a bottom portion to a top portion, and a light source disposed on or within the body (e.g., within the bottom portion or top portion). The lantern may advantageously include motion detection capabilities included therein. As such, the lantern may further include one or more motion detectors disposed on or within the body. In an embodiment, 3 motion detectors are provided, and the body is generally triangular, with a motion detector positioned at each apex of the generally triangular body. The motion detectors may be operatively coupled to the light source and/or an alarm so that upon detection of motion within the vicinity of the lantern, either the light source illuminates (from an initially dark configuration), the alarm sounds, or both. A plurality of modes of operation may be provided, allowing the user to select a desired mode.

  • Patent number: 7285075
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inclining treadmill having a hood assembly pivotally coupled between the frame and the inclining tread base of the treadmill. The configuration of the pivoting hood assembly allows the inclining tread base to incline to a grade of at least 20 percent. The pivot point of the pivoting hood assembly is positioned distally from the distal end of the tread base. The pivoting hood assembly is positioned at an angle to greater than 40 degrees when the tread base is at its greatest grade of incline. A lift motor engages a channel bracket assembly of the pivoting hood assembly at a point distal to the pivot point of the pivoting hood assembly. The inclining tread base is linked to the frame of the treadmill by being coupled to the pivoting hood assembly.

  • Patent number: 6830540
    Abstract: A treadmill including a support structure and a tread base pivotally mounted to the support structure. The tread base having a front portion and a rear portion rotatably coupled together by way of a folding mechanism that allows the rear portion to fold toward the front portion so that lower surfaces of the front and rear portions are substantially adjacent one to another. The folding mechanism can include a means for releasably locking the front portion to the rear portion to create a surface upon which a belt can move and upon which an individual can exercise. The treadmill can include a motion assembly that inclines and declines the tread base, while optionally causing the belt to rotate about two rollers mounted within the front portion and rear portion respectively.
