Publication number: 20230253767Abstract: A lid for a utility enclosure having a front end, a rear end, a right side, a left side, a top lid portion, and a bottom, defining an interior. Large reinforcement ribs are on an interior surface of the top lid portion and form a lattice-type structure. Small reinforcement ribs are mounted in spaces formed by the lattice type structure. The lid is made of glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene and metal bars or rebar are embedded in the large reinforcement ribs. The metal bars are positioned near a bottom of the large reinforcement ribs and spaced above the bottom. The physical structure of the lid and the lid's composition, consisting essentially of glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene, are constructed so that the lid withstands up to 33,750 pounds of force without breaking or being deformed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Dustin Kyle Nolen, Raymond George Thompson, Selvum Pillay

Patent number: 11670918Abstract: A foldable extension enclosure for a utility enclosure, each having first, second, third, and fourth sides connected by hinges and each folding only in one direction by means of detents on the sides. A first end of the first side slidably overlaps a second opposite end of the third side and a first end of the second side slidably overlaps a second opposite end of the fourth side. There is an internal top ledge on each side in an interior near a top end of the extension enclosure and the utility enclosure and an external bottom ledge on each side on an exterior near a bottom end of the extension enclosure, to mount the extension enclosure to the utility enclosure with concave and convex detents. Convex detents are at the top end of the utility and extension enclosures and concave detents are at the bottom end of the extension enclosure. The convex detents also reversibly lock a lid to the tops of the utility and extension enclosures.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: AFL Telecommunications LLCInventors: Dustin Kyle Nolen, Selvum Pillay, Raymond George Thompson

Patent number: 11066802Abstract: A foldable extension enclosure for a utility enclosure having first, second, third, and fourth sides connected by hinges. The extension enclosure folds only in one direction. A first end of the first side slidably overlaps a second opposite end of the third side and a first end of the second side slidably overlaps a second opposite end of the fourth side. A second opposite end of the first side abuts a first end of the fourth side and a first end of the third side abuts a second opposite end of the second side. There is an internal top ledge on each side in an interior near a top end of the extension enclosure and an external bottom ledge on each side on an exterior near a bottom end of the extension enclosure to mount the extension enclosure to the utility enclosure through mounting holes. The mounting holes are in the sides between the top ledge and the top end and between the bottom ledge and the bottom end. The extension enclosure folds with the utility enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: TAN Composites, LLCInventors: Dustin Kyle Nolen, Raymond George Thompson, Selvum Pillay

Patent number: 11008134Abstract: A foldable rectangular plastic/composite enclosure having first, second, third and fourth sides connected by hinges. The enclosure folds flat by rotating the sides on the hinges but is constructed to fold only in one direction. The hinges allow the enclosure to be folded flat for storage and transportation. The hinges are composed of a plurality of hinge members wherein each hinge member is positioned in a housing. The housing has an open interior which helps anchor the enclosure in the ground. An insertable locking pin can be inserted through each hinge to prevent the enclosure from folding. The enclosure can be made of plastic/composite imbedded with fibers such as carbon fibers, glass fibers, or ceramic fibers or imbedded with particles such as glass particles. The use of plastic/composite and various openings or cutouts makes the enclosure light weight.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Inventors: Dustin Kyle Nolen, Raymond George Thompson, Selvum Pillay

Patent number: 10792873Abstract: Fastening devices are described. In one example, the fastening devices can be used for a landing string buoyancy solution. The landing string hardware includes a stop collar to be fitted and secured around a drill pipe and stop collar hardware to secure the stop collar together around the drill pipe. The stop collar can be secured at one end of a number of buoyancy modules placed along a longitudinal length of the drill pipe to hold them into place along the drill pipe. The stop collar can be formed from long fiber thermoplastic using extrusion-compression molding. The stop collar hardware includes a bolt having an external thread formed from long fiber thermoplastic and a nut having an internal thread formed from long fiber thermoplastic. Both the stop collar and the stop collar hardware are tested for suitability for the application of holding the buoyancy modules in place under operating conditions.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: THE UAB RESEARCH FOUNDATIONInventors: Selvum Pillay, Haibin Ning
