Patent number: 10519956Abstract: Provided is a fluid pump assembly. The pump has a pair of housings magnetically coupled to each other. The first housing contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second housing contains a magnetic assembly and a blade for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first magnetic assembly is rotated by the drive motor, the magnetic connection to the assembly in the second housing causes the second magnet to rotate, driving the blade.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2016Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: EcoTech Marine, LLCInventors: Justin Lawyer, Patrick Clasen, Timothy Marks

Patent number: 10487836Abstract: A fluid pump assembly is provided. The pump has a pair of units magnetically coupled to each other. The first unit contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second unit contains a magnetic assembly and a blade of a propeller/impeller for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first unit is activated by the drive motor, a magnetic flux is created which in turn rotates the magnetic assembly in the second unit, driving the blade.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: EcoTech, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Marks, Patrick Clasen, Justin Lawyer

Publication number: 20190320627Abstract: A lighting assembly includes a light guide having opposite first and second major surfaces and at least one edge surface extending between the first and second major surfaces, a solid-state light source arranged to emit light into the edge surface of the light guide, and a plurality of integrated optical elements associated with the first major surface to redirect the light emitted by the solid-state light source. The lighting assembly may further include an air circulation device and a heat transfer system configured to transfer heat generated by the solid-state lighting source to a flow of air generated by the air circulation device. The solid-state light source may include light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, and/or organic light emitting diodes configured to produce multiple colors. Also provided is a habitat including the lighting assembly, and related methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Justin LAWYER, Mark LINDENMOYER, Christian CLOUGH, Timothy MARKS, Patrick CLASEN

Publication number: 20190262227Abstract: A foot spa tub includes a tub basin, a first magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to a drive motor, and a first casing supporting the magnetic drive member. The first casing is disposed against an exterior surface of a sidewall of the basin. A second magnetic drive member is rotatably coupled to a blade. The first and second magnetic drive members are magnetically coupled to each other so that the blade is drivingly coupled to the drive motor. A nozzle houses the second magnetic drive member and the blade. The nozzle is detachably securable to an interior surface of the sidewall by a magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic drive members. A method of circulating liquid in a foot tub spa is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2019Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventors: Justin LAWYER, Patrick CLASEN, Timothy MARKS, Quy TON
