Patent number: 10618019Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for mixing substances, such as paint. The apparatus includes an elongate member with a plurality of openings formed within it. A filament is threaded through the openings creating bights between openings. The bights and ends of the filament sweep through the substance when the elongate member is rotated, which works to mix the substance.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Inventor: Rick Grover

Patent number: 10011969Abstract: A system for installing an array of pilings for an array of solar panels is highly accurate and efficient. The system includes a horizontal laser and a rotating vertical laser that are mounted on a first piling and aligned with a target on a second piling on the opposite side of the array. An alignment template is placed against a piling and aligned with the vertical rotating laser. The aligned template provides a designated location where the next piling is driven. A hammer target on the pile driver allows the installer to precisely install the next piling. After installation, the next piling is measured for accuracy and if errors are found, an alignment bracket is used to correct the error. The process is repeated until the array of pilings is complete.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: LaserLine Mfg., Inc.Inventor: Rick Grover

Patent number: 9352474Abstract: A knife includes a body that includes a handle section, a substantially circular blade housing section, and a blade including a cutting edge having substantially the same radius of curvature of the blade housing. The substantially circular blade housing section extends substantially perpendicular from the handle section. The blade extends longitudinally out of the blade housing at a position substantially 180° away from the position of the handle section along the circumference of the blade housing and terminates in a sharp point. The width of the blade at the portion immediately adjacent to the blade housing and opposite the blade point is substantially equal to the diameter of the blade housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2015Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Inventor: Rick Grover

Patent number: 8512107Abstract: A knife includes a body that includes a handle section, a blade housing section, and a blade that includes a skinning edge and a cutting edge. The guided skinning edge extends below a bottom edge of the blade housing section, wherein proximity of the bottom edge to the guided skinning edge enables the bottom edge to function as a guard that prevents the skinning edge from entering a carcass deep enough to damage meat and internal organs of the carcass during field dressing. The hook cutting edge extends above a top edge of the blade housing section, wherein the top edge terminates in a hook portion that extends beyond the hook cutting edge and lifts skin and hide of a carcass away from meat and internal organs of the carcass as the cutting edge is moved through the carcass during field dressing, preventing the cutting edge from contacting meat and internal organs of the carcass.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2012Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Inventor: Rick Grover
