Patent number: 11859443Abstract: A two part pressurized hand wheel for letting the user know when a gated pressurized barrier has been set up properly. One part of the hand wheel, when turned, begins to cover up a red portion of the second part. When the red portion is completely covered up, such is the signal to the user that the latch of the gated pressurized barrier is properly aligned with the latch receiver of the gated pressurized barrier.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Regalo International, LLCInventors: Mark A.

Patent number: 11834898Abstract: A keeper apparatus engaged to the lower free end swinging corner portion of a gate, not to either of the upper and lower corner portions having the axis on which the gate swings, and not to the upper free end swinging corner portion where the gate has a main latch. The keeper apparatus joins the shortened ends of a horizontal gate support member and a vertical gate support member where, prior to engaging the keeper apparatus on the shortened ends, such intentionally manufactured shortened ends are free and spaced from each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Regalo International, LLCInventors: Mark A.

Patent number: 11825960Abstract: A baby changing pad apparatus having a locator, locator receiver, and non-skid grip combination for engaging the baby changing pad apparatus to a first surface. The locator receiver includes a quick connect first portion engaged to the baby changing pad apparatus. The locator includes a quick connect second portion engagable between the quick connect first portion and first surface. The non-skid grip may engage the first surface with or without the locator engaged to the locator receiver.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Regalo International, LLCInventors: Mark A.

-
Patent number: 11686150Abstract: The present lift lock is employed on a gate that is swingable and liftable on a first axis. In a first position the lift lock is on the first axis and in a blocking position that prevents the gate from being lifted relative to a barrier having the gate. The lift lock is slideable away from the first position on the axis to a second position away from the axis where the lift lock is in an unblocking position, thereby permitting the gate to be lifted on the axis. The lift lock snaps into and out of the second position.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Regalo International, LLCInventors: Mark A. Flannery, Gary T. Schultze, Matthew A. Willms, Michael P. Lane

Patent number: 11649669Abstract: The present soft barrier includes sheeting and a frame. The frame includes longitudinal and lateral support members. The sheeting is in a relaxed state when the lateral support members are in a retracted state. The sheeting is in a taut state when the lateral support members are in an extended fixed state. The sheeting may be in either the relaxed state or taut state when the longitudinal support members are in a retracted state or an extended state. A first adjustment mechanism for increasing or decreasing the longitudinal length of the barrier is a quick slide mechanism. A second adjustment mechanism for finely increasing or finely decreasing the longitudinal length of the barrier is a rotatable mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Regalo International, LLCInventors: Mark A. Flannery, Michael P. Lane

Patent number: 11639630Abstract: A gated barrier that includes a barrier frame first portion, a barrier frame second portion, and a gate between the barrier frame first and second portions. The barrier frame first and second portions include first and second threshold portions that are spaced apart from each other and held in such a spaced apart orientation by a rigid elongate piece. The gated barrier further includes a latch apparatus, panels, and junction apparatus between the panels.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Regalo International, LLCInventors: Mark A.
