Publication number: 20240108842Abstract: A headgear assembly for retaining a respiratory mask on a user's face includes arrangements or components that allow for variation in a size of the headgear assembly. In some configurations, the headgear assembly includes one or more hubs, each of which are configured to connect a top and rear strap together. The size of the headgear assembly can be determined by the size or configuration of the hub. In other configurations, the headgear assembly comprises one or more spacer elements within one or more straps of the headgear. The size of the headgear assembly can be determined by the size of the spacer element or a relative position between the strap and the spacer element.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Paul Mathew Freestone, Melissa Catherine Bornholdt, Matthew Roger Stephenson, Jake Baker Hocking, Bruce Michael Walls, Chris Onin Limpin Hipolito, Jonathan Tong Lok Sng, Abby Rebecca Farrow

Patent number: 11746523Abstract: A noise reduction apparatus can include a frame and multiple spaced apart panels positioned adjacent to each other. Each of the panels or only one of the spaced apart panel elements may have holes therein to receive acoustic waves for absorbing the waves between the panels. The panels can be attached to a frame or other connection structure so that the arrangement of panels can be hung over a work space or positioned in a work space (e.g. in a wall, formed as a partition or wall, included as part of shelving, etc.). The panels can also be incorporated into a light fixture that may hang from a ceiling or be attached to some other type of support (e.g. a table, a base, etc.). The panels can be composed of glass, wood, or other type of material.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Knoll, Inc.Inventors: Masamichi Harrison Udagawa, Sigrid Moeslinger, Benjamin A.

Publication number: 20220288252Abstract: Disinfection devices positionable to disinfect work spaces within an office of an office building or other work area can be configured or incorporated into a lighting device, ceiling mounted device, baffle, furniture, or other type of disinfection device. Embodiments can be configured to utilize UVC-222 light or other UVC light to disinfect the work area. In some embodiments, the disinfecting light can be applied at a pre-selected time of night when the work area is expected to have no staff or limited numbers of staff therein. The distribution of the disinfection light can be configured to help ensure application of the light for a pre-selected time period applies at least a pre-selected dose of the light to the work area for sufficient, if not complete, disinfection of objects within the work area that include papers, furniture, and other items.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Roger Wall, Joe Carere, Carl Magnusson

Patent number: 6546678Abstract: A manually adjustable structural load transferring device and system for providing tension and compression force transfer between a plurality of spaced building structural members. A pair of load transfer members are each provided with a threaded first end and a second end, the threaded first end of one of the pair of members having threads of opposite pitch to those of the first end of the other one. A coupler member has first and second threaded ends engaged with the threaded first ends of the pair of load transfer members so that the length of the assembly can be adjusted by relative rotation between the coupler member and the load transfer members. An end connection device is attached to the second end of each of the load transfer members, the end connection device including a plurality of fastener apertures and a plurality of bolt apertures for securing the base plate to a building structural member.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2000Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Zone Four LLCInventors: Roger Wall Ashton, Robert Donald Lucey, John Duncan Pryor

Patent number: 6425220Abstract: A continuity tie for providing both tension and compression resistance to externally induced movement of building structural members. A central body member is provided with a plurality of bolt mounting apertures in a staggered pattern and a pair of end plates having a rod aperture. One embodiment employs a tubular central body member having a hollow interior; another embodiment employs a generally U-shaped central portion with flanking flanges. Both embodiments can be mounted to building structural members separated by an intervening building structural member, with the continuity ties being secured together by means of a single rod arranged in the rod apertures in each continuity tie and secured in place by means of nuts. The staggered bolt patterns reduce the probability of mounting all bolts in a defect region of a timber building element. The hollow tube embodiment is symmetric and cannot be installed backwards. The rod aperture may be centered or offset from the central axis of the continuity tie.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2000Date of Patent: July 30, 2002Assignee: Zone Four, LLCInventors: Roger Wall Ashton, Robert Donald Lucey, John Duncan Pryor
