Patent number: 11931047Abstract: An osteotomy procedure may be performed to correct a misalignment of a bone, such as a bunion deformity. In some examples, the osteotomy procedure involves making a spherical-shaped cut transecting a first metatarsal, thereby forming a first metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped projection and a second metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped recess. The method further involves moving the second metatarsal portion in at least two planes relative to the first metatarsal portion, thereby adjusting an anatomical alignment of the second metatarsal portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Treace Medical Concepts, Inc.Inventors: F. Barry Bays, Joe W. Ferguson, Carlos Eduardo Gil, Tyler Hissong, Danielle Peterson, Sean F. Scanlan, Michael Stedham, Justin Valentine

Patent number: 11846137Abstract: Ladders, ladder components and related methods are provided including various embodiments of a combination ladder. In some embodiments, a platform is provided that is fixedly coupled with a rail assembly of a combination ladder. The platform may pivot between a useable position or state and a stowed or stored position or state. The platform may maintain a position relative to certain rungs of the rail assembly while being displaceable relative to other rungs of the rail assembly. A hand rail may be coupled to the rail assembly and a tray may be coupled with the hand rail. The tray and the platform may be configured to maintain a constant distance between one another while the rail assembly is adjusted for height.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Little Giant Ladder Systems, LLCInventors: N. Ryan Moss, Sean Peterson, Brian Russell

Publication number: 20200370371Abstract: A ladder is provided having a base section and a fly section slidably coupled with the base section. The base section includes a first pair of spaced apart rails and a first plurality of rungs extending between and coupled to the first pair of spaced apart rails. The fly section includes a second pair of spaced apart rails and a second plurality of rungs extending between and coupled to the second pair of spaced apart rails. The various rungs may be coupled with their associated rails in an offset relationship such that they are not centered along a longitudinal center axis line of the rails. A rung lock device may be used which includes an arm pivotally coupled with the base section and configured to selectively engage various rungs of the second plurality of rungs to maintain the fly section in a desired position relative to the base section.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Applicant: WING ENTERPRISES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Jay Ballard, Christian Smith, Gary Jonas, Sean Peterson, Brian Russell

Publication number: 20200245050Abstract: An earbud comprises a housing a duct and a driver carried by the duct. A press-fit connection is formed between the driver and the duct. The driver comprises a plug extending through a distal end of the duct, and positioned both in and out of the duct. The plug of the driver has a smooth, continuous and straight outer surface along the length thereof. The plug has a greatest outer diameter of the entire driver.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: David Baum, Sean Peterson

Publication number: 20200165868Abstract: Ladders and ladder components are provided including a rung assembly that provides an alert to a user of the ladder that they are standing on a particular rung or step. In one example, the lower most rung or step of a ladder includes a rung assembly having an alert mechanism. The alert mechanism may provide an audible and/or other sensory alert to a user when they step on the rung assembly so that the user recognizes their position relative to the ground or supporting surface. In one embodiment, the rung assembly is configured such that a front edge remains in a constant or fixed position relative to the rails to which it is coupled so that a user can rely on a fixed or constant position of the front edge of the assembly when climbing or descending the ladder.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Christian Smith, Benjamin Cook, Sean Peterson, Brian Russell, N.

Patent number: 10641041Abstract: Elevated work platforms, as well as associated methods, are provided. In one particular embodiment, an elevated platform apparatus is provided comprising a first rail assembly having a pair of rails coupled with a plurality of rungs, a second rail assembly hingedly coupled with the first rail assembly, a platform configured to rest upon a portion of the first rail assembly and the second rails assembly and a cage associated with the platform. The cage may include at least one bar and at least one gate, the at least one gate being configured to swing in a first direction upon a user stepping on to the platform from the first rail assembly, and then swing back to a closed position after the user is standing on the platform. The at least one gate is also limited from being displaced in a second direction, opposite the first direction, beyond the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: WING ENTERPRISES, INCORPORATEDInventors: N.
