Patent number: 11608296Abstract: A polymer-based compound, useful as a polymer masonry unit is disclosed that can include a polymer added to a quarry byproduct to manufacture a quality brick unit. The present disclosure solves the technological problem of providing a structurally sound brick or concrete alternative without the need for kiln firing, using traditionally unusable waste material. By combining quarry byproduct and a polymer, a polymer masonry unit can be fabricated having compressive strength and architectural utility. In one exemplary embodiment, fiber elements can be added to the byproduct and polymer mixture to increase structural stability. The present disclosure improves the performance of the system itself by providing a basic block or brick unit using an environmentally responsible manufacturing process that reduces cost and waste. The manufacturing process includes a polymer/base material that can be poured into molds that cures over a predetermined period, without the need for kiln firing.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Lithic Industries Holding Co.Inventors: Todd Denton, Michael Doty, Griffith J. Williams, Samuel Lopez, Kameron Anthony Hill, Jonathan Ross, Dyllon Hagan, Timothy James Kennedy

Publication number: 20140034680Abstract: A pump dispenser has a large ergonomic actuator designed to ergonomically deliver a composition to a substrate in the consumer's hand without the consumer having to pick up the pump dispenser. The ergonomic design allows the composition to be delivered in a proper aspect ratio to the substrate. The composition can be delivered in such a way that the composition is not aerosolized into the air or delivered to an unintended surface. The method of delivery can be made intuitive to the consumer by providing an actuator skirt that suggests the pumping mechanism or by providing a depiction of a hand or substrate over the pump dispenser. The pump dispenser is also useful for compositions or substrates that are not stable together.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Timothy James Kennedy, TAMI O.
