Publication number: 20240102306Abstract: A method of designing a modular cooling tower cell which may utilize mechanicals from a preexisting cell and assembling the modular cell within a cooling field in-situ using a series of custom modules. After collecting a data set from a preexisting cooling tower cell and removing the preexisting tower, a build specification is generated, including calculating a cut list for vertical and horizontal members which will form the basis of the plurality of modules forming the cell. The members are fabricated and include a plurality of connection points which allow for sizing adjustments without affecting the connection points. The modules are then constructed using the data set from the preexisting tower to form a plurality of modules comprising a cell matrix based on the data set from the preexisting cooling tower cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: John Jakic, Robert Vertesi, Jeffrey Garry Ianni, Timothy Scott Anderson

Patent number: 10688892Abstract: A child safety seat includes a support base having a stop, a sliding carriage, a rotary platform having a follower part, and a child seat. The sliding carriage is slidable relative to the support base between a retracted and an extended position, and the child seat and the rotary platform are rotatable together relative to the sliding carriage and the support base between a forward and a rearward facing position. While the sliding carriage is in a position other than the retracted position, a rotational movement of the child seat and the rotary platform is limited by a contact between the follower part and the stop that keeps the child seat and the rotary platform apart from the forward facing position, and the stop is located outside a travel path of the follower part when the sliding carriage is in the retracted position for rotation of the rotary platform to the forward facing position.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: WONDERLAND SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Robert Scott Anderson, James M.

Patent number: 10569673Abstract: A support base for a child safety seat includes a coupling structure coupled to a shell and a latch device operable to engage with an anchor structure of a vehicle. The coupling structure includes a carrier pivotally connected with the latch device. The latch device is rotatable relative to the carrier and the shell between a storage position and multiple deployed positions for use, and the carrier is slidable relative to the shell in a first direction for displacing a distal end of the latch device outward and away from an end edge of the shell and in a second direction for displacing the distal end of the latch device toward the end edge of the shell. The support base further includes an adjustment latch movable to engage with the carrier for preventing its sliding in the first direction, and to disengage from the carrier for its sliding.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventors: Robert Scott Anderson, Curtis M.
