  • Patent number: 12209749
    Abstract: A vent apparatus is used to install a tankless water heater or similar equipment inside an attic without going onto the roof. The vent apparatus may include a main housing and an umbrella assembly movably disposed therein. The main housing (e.g., PVC pipe) is installed through the roof. The umbrella assembly may have a central rod with a flexible umbrella cover on top and an engagement member on bottom. The umbrella assembly is pushed up through the main housing until the engagement member hits the bottom of the main housing and the umbrella cover exits the top of the main housing to cover it and prevent rain from entering the main housing. The bottom of the main housing is then connected to the tankless water heater. Additional embodiments are disclosed for tankless water heaters with an air intake port and a gas exhaust port.

  • Patent number: 11207152
    Abstract: A surgeon support system comprising a base having a foot platform with an appropriate angle adapted to support a user's feet. The base surface may be lifted using a jack pedal and the height is adjusted by a base handle. A knee pad is supported by a knee support bar which is attached to the base. The knee pad is pivotally connected to a seat pad and a chest pad support bar. The seat pad is supported by a seat pad height-adjusting strut and the height is adjustable by a seat pad height-adjusting handle. The chest pad support bar supports a chest pad for forward and backward movement of the user. The angle position of the chest pad is adjusted and released by an angle-adjusting knob on a chest pad angle-adjusting bar. The surgeon support system stabilizes a user close to a workspace for extended periods of time.

  • Patent number: 9630820
    Abstract: An automatic lift stand and case. The automatic lift stand and case includes a body having an opening and containing a platform. A latch mechanism is configured to maintain the platform in a lower position within the body. One or more resilient stored force devices are configured to move the platform from the lower position towards the opening of the body when the latch mechanism is released. One or more springs are pivotably coupled to the body and the platform, the length of each spring is substantially parallel to the platform when the platform is in the lower position and pivots to lift the platform as the platform is lifted towards the opening of the body by the one or more resilient stored force devices. Each spring is configured to lift the platform to a higher position when the resilient stored force devices pull the platform towards the opening of the body.
