Patent number: 11924936Abstract: A method for selecting a mode/color on a lighting module, the lighting module having only a single button includes: receiving a first actuation of the single button at the lighting module. The method further includes responsive to the first actuation, turning the device on and displaying a first mode/color. The method further includes detecting that the single button is held down. The method further includes displaying a plurality of modes/colors in a timed sequence, such that each mode/color of the plurality of modes/colors is displayed for a preset period of time. The method further includes detecting that the single button is released. The method further includes displaying a selected mode/color of the plurality of modes/colors that was displayed when the single button was released.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Nite Ize, Inc.Inventors: Bowden Ormsbee, Steven L.

Patent number: 11698184Abstract: A lighting module includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) with a push button switch and a charging port, a second PCB with a light emitting diode (LED), a rechargeable battery sandwiched between the PCB's, and ring disposed between the PCB's and surrounding the battery. A device including the lighting module, a body having a cavity with an aperture, and a cap having a protrusion facing the body. The lighting module received in the cavity, with the cap covering the aperture. The protrusion and push button switch are positioned such that when the cap is pushed inward near the protrusion, the protrusion pushes the push button switch and activates the lighting module. The cap further includes a ridge surrounding the protrusion on the outward side, the ridge preventing the protrusion from being pushed into the push button switch, unless the cap is pressed at approximately a location of the protrusion.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Nite Ize, Inc.Inventors: Bowden Ormsbee, Steven L.

Patent number: 10869794Abstract: A reversible seating mechanism includes a frame and a cross member pivotally supported on the frame for rotational movement in a plane generally parallel to the frame to define a tilt angle. A mounting plate is pivotally supported on the cross member for rotational movement in a plane generally parallel to the cross member to define one of a forward and rearward facing orientation. The mounting plate is moveable on the cross member to be oriented to the tilt angle. A tilt limiter restricts movement of the mounting plate between the forward and rearward facing orientations until the tilt angle is adjusted to a preset angle. The tilt limiter limits a forward facing tilt angle to an angle less than a rearward tilt angle.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Sunrise Medical (US) LLCInventors: Steven L. Lindquist, Vasily G. Tsuber

Patent number: 8474848Abstract: The vehicle comprises a base and a seat moveable along a curve having a focal point. The vehicle is adjustable to position an occupant in the seat to achieve a desired position for the center of gravity of the occupant relative to the focal point of the curve. A method for minimizing effort required to tilt the seat of a personal mobility vehicle comprises the steps of providing a personal mobility vehicle having a seat that is adapted to move along an arc having a center of curvature, positioning the seat substantially horizontally, providing an occupant in the seat, and adjusting the position of the vehicle occupant's center of gravity so that the center of gravity is substantially equal to or below the center of curvature of the arc.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2004Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Sunrise Medical (US) LLCInventors: Todd Bernatsky, Philip Schreiber, Thomas J.

Patent number: 7360781Abstract: A foldable wheelchair comprises a substantially horizontally extending upper side frame member. An upper end of an axle plate is secured to the upper side frame member. An axle housing is secured to the axle plate. A cross brace is pivotally secured directly to the axle plate at the lower end of the axle plate. A wheel mount assembly comprises an axle sleeve mount having an internal thread. An axle sleeve has an external thread that is in threaded engagement with the internal thread of the axle sleeve mount. The axle sleeve has an internal bore that accepts a wheel axle. The internal bore is angled with respect to the axis of the external threads to provide camber to a wheel.
