Patent number: 11316355Abstract: A charging locker includes a charging locker frame defining a locker stack compartment and an adjacent wiring and access compartment. A plurality of lockers are located within the locker stack compartment. A plurality of locker doors are provided which correspond to the plurality of lockers, and selectively individually provide access to interiors of respective lockers from a front of the charging locker. The charging locker also includes a wiring and access compartment door selectively providing access to an interior of the wiring and access compartment from the front of the charging locker. The wiring and access compartment is configured to extend in a vertical direction and is horizontally adjacent to each of the lockers located within the locker stack compartment.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Bretford Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Cary Maguire, Caleb Durante, Mike Dombrowski

Patent number: 10742049Abstract: A charging locker includes a frame, and a plurality of modular shelf units. Each modular shelf unit having an integral floor, at least one side wall, and a back wall. The plurality of modular shelf units are configured to extend vertically above one another to form a stack of modular shelf units in which the side walls and back walls of the plurality of modular shelf units form nearly contiguous first and second surfaces. A plurality of tabs on corners of each of the modular shelf units are provided to be received in notches in the frame to support the modular shelf units relative to the frame. A plurality of electrical receptacles are also provided. At least one electrical receptacle is accessible from within each of the modular shelf units.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Bretford Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Cary Maguire, Caleb Durante, Mike Dombrowski

Publication number: 20200127444Abstract: A rapidly deployable floor power system includes a base unit for supplying low voltage DC power to one or more foldable power tracks. Each foldable power track has a set of rigid track sections with exposed track power contacts on a top surface. The rigid track sections are electrically and mechanically interconnected by flexible track connectors that enable the power track to be folded when the power track is to be moved or stored, and unfolded for rapid deployment in an area to be supplied with power. The rigid track sections lie approximately flush with the floor to minimize tripping potential. Magnetic connectors engage the track to obtain power from the track, and are used to electrically interconnect adjacent tracks. A power distribution unit supplies power via low voltage ports such as USB ports and/or via one or more power whips equipped with barrel jack tips.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Mike Dombrowski, John Sadler, Cary Maguire, Patrick Eiswerth

Patent number: 10412853Abstract: A storage system includes a computer storage compartment, a first shelf, and a first power configuration unit. The first power configuration unit has a first base and a first bridge, the first bridge extending from the first base and spanning above the first shelf. A first plurality of dividers are connected to the first bridge and extend downward toward the first shelf, the first plurality of dividers forming first individual storage bays within the computer storage compartment and the first plurality of dividers do not contact the first shelf. The power configuration units are modular to enable the storage system to selectively contain power configuration units designed to provide AC power, DC power, or a mix of both AC and DC power within the storage system depending on the power requirements of the portable computing devices to be stored therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Bretford Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Mike Dombrowski, Patrick Eiswerth, Cary Maguire, Matthew Banach, Joe Doran, John Sadler
