Patent number: 11980826Abstract: An infant play mat with a flexible central mat portion having a fabric surface that forms a first infant play area and including multiple flexible flaps extending from straight edges of the play mat. The infant play mat has a polygonal perimeter with multiple straight edges, with two of the edges defining a corner therebetween. Multiple flexible flaps extend from a respective one of the perimeter edges and define a fold line. Each flap has an upper flap surface exposed when the flap is extended, and hidden when the play mat is folded at the fold line to cover a region of the central mat portion. The central mat portion and lower surfaces of the flaps together form a second infant play area when the play mat is folded at all of the fold lines. Two of the flaps extend from the two edges to define the corner and are shaped such that, when overlaying the central mat portion, the two flaps do not overlap.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Lovevery, Inc.Inventors: Jessica Thacher Crolick Rolph, Roderick Neal Morris, Seth Thomas Murray

Patent number: 11008236Abstract: This disclosure relates to water treatment devices that utilize photocatalytic oxidation to generate oxidizing agents. A water treatment device is configured to be connected in line between a water supply and a washing machine. Wash water from the water supply passes into the device and through a conduit of the device. A reaction chamber includes an ultraviolet lamp and a catalyst cell for generating the oxidizing agents. The generated oxidizing agents are injected into the wash water as it passes through the conduit. The water treatment device also includes a flow sensor placed in line with the conduit to determine when the device should be activated to generate the oxidizing agents.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: DBG GROUP INVESTMENTS, LLCInventors: Andrew Eide, Lloyd Neal Morris

Publication number: 20200346130Abstract: A child play pitcher-container set includes a pitcher and a container that defines an interior volume and an upper rim. The pitcher includes a base upon which the pitcher is supportable, a side wall, and a handle. The side wall extends from the base and forms a spout extending outwardly to a spout tip at an upper edge of the side wall, the spout having an outer surface defining in side view a slope. The handle is secured to the side wall opposite the spout. The outer surface of the spout defines a notch extending across the spout at an elevation along the slope. The notch is configured to interface with the upper rim of the container during pouring of liquid from the pitcher to the container. The interior volume is sufficient to receive all liquid volume containable in the pitcher with the pitcher upright on a horizontal surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2019Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Roderick Neal Morris, Jessica Thacher Crolick Rolph, Philip J.

Patent number: 8012412Abstract: Described is an air and surface purifying device having a purifying cell structured for maximizing the realized photocatalytic reaction at a photocatalytic surface without using an additional ultraviolet bulb. The purifying cell positions at least three photocatalytic surfaces about a single ultraviolet bulb such that the photocatalytic surfaces substantially encompass the ultraviolet bulb and are saturated by ultraviolet light radiating from the ultraviolet bulb. Because the photocatalytic surfaces are saturated, the potential photocatalytic reaction at the photocatalytic surfaces is fully realized. Stated differently, the realized photocatalytic reaction is maximized. Because the purifying cell maximizes the realized photocatalytic reaction, the purifying cell maximizes the purifying capacity of the photocatalytic surface and, thus, the purifying cell itself.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2007Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Vollara, LLCInventors: James Normark, Neal Morris, Allen Johnston

Patent number: 7871518Abstract: Apparatus for providing activated treated water to washing machines with a water treatment conduit connected between a water supply and an inlet of the washing machine, having a reactor chamber with a UV lamp and a coated metal target that generates oxidizing gases that communicate by an injector into the conduit and a transparent portion of the conduit treats the oxidated water by illumination from the UV lamp. A disinfector injects disinfecting silver ions into the treated oxidated water. A controller activates the apparatus during flow of water through the conduit. A method of activating and treating water for washing machines is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: DBG Group Investments, LLCInventors: Walter B.
