Patent number: 11066173Abstract: A multi-function credenza includes at least one cabinet with a first top surface and a seat adjacent the cabinet. The seat has a convertible seat back for converting to a second top surface adjacent to the first top surface when the seat is stowed. A multi-function credenza in an aircraft cabin includes a first cabinet that has a first inboard panel and a first top surface, a second cabinet that has a second inboard panel and a second top surface, and a stowable seat located between the first cabinet and the second cabinet. A stowable seat includes a seat back that has a first side adapted for seating in a first mode and a second side adapted as a working surface in a second mode. The seat back articulates between the first mode and the second mode for deploying and stowing the seat, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Textron Innovations, Inc.Inventors: David Wayne Davis, Frank Joseph Rowe, Jason Michael Decker, Matthew Robert Harrell

Patent number: 10571140Abstract: A system and method for providing a substantially constant volume exhaust or ventilation air terminal system is shown for controlling exhaust and/or return airflow rates in a system having a central fan or ventilator. The system and method permits zone-by-zone or area-by-area airflow regulation or control in non-demand areas in response to a demand or call for ventilation in demand areas. In one embodiment, the system employs at least one constant airflow controller or regulator situated in a damper. Another embodiment shows a combination of a first constant airflow controller or regulator situated or mounted on a damper with a second constant airflow controller or regulator situated in a duct associated with the damper. In still another embodiment, a constant airflow controller or regulator is provided in a duct, and used in combination with a solid damper.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: American Aldes Ventilation CorporationInventors: Dennis R. Dietz, John Robert Harrell, Dwight Ray Shackelford

Publication number: 20170363310Abstract: A system and method for providing a substantially constant volume exhaust or ventilation air terminal system is shown for controlling exhaust and/or return airflow rates in a system having a central fan or ventilator. The system and method permits zone-by-zone or area-by-area airflow regulation or control in non-demand areas in response to a demand or call for ventilation in demand areas. In one embodiment, the system employs at least one constant airflow controller or regulator situated in a damper. In one embodiment, a terminal houses a plurality of sub-ducts each having an airflow regulator. At least one of the sub-ducts has a damper. When the damper is open, a maximum airflow through the terminal is a sum of maximum airflow permitted by the regulators.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2017Publication date: December 21, 2017Applicant: American Aldes Ventilation CorporationInventors: Dennis R.

Patent number: 8091488Abstract: A table top with a flip mechanism has a frame of two spaced apart legs, each leg having two pivoting wheels, a spine connecting each leg, and a table top hingedly connecting to the spine for rotation off the center of the table. The spine and table top extend upon the longitudinal axis of the table. The spine has generally two parallel spaced apart members. The table top hingedly connects to one member and rests upon the other member when the table top is flat. Lifting the table from a longitudinal edge opposite the hinges, the table top pivots upon the hinges and rotates about the spine until upright. The upright table is then parallel to the legs and occupies a minimum footprint. Alternatively, the legs have wheels for easy movement of the table.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Berco Industries, Inc.Inventors: Lucian Chirea, Robert Harrell, William Laclede
