Patent number: 12253274Abstract: In some examples, a device controls a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system within a building. The device includes an analog display including a set of markers. Additionally, the devices includes processing circuitry configured to determine whether one or both of a cooling set point mode and a heating set point mode is activated and cause a set point to change from a first set point value to a second set point value in response to receiving a first rotation input to a dial. Additionally, the processing circuitry is configured to control a set of LEDs to transition from illuminating a first marker of the set of markers to illuminating a second marker of the set of markers, wherein the first marker corresponds to the first set point value and the second marker corresponds to the second set point value.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: RESIDEO LLCInventors: Christopher R. Jones, Jaymeson Tucker, Michael Crites, Christopher Heintzelman

Patent number: 12196328Abstract: The tub and shower diverter assembly includes an escutcheon, a manifold sub-assembly, and a handle assembly. The manifold sub-assembly is fluidly coupled to an existing waterway connector of an existing conventional tub and shower diverter system. The manifold sub-assembly includes a mixing valve at least partially disposed through the escutcheon and coupled to the manifold sub-assembly by a valve nut. The handle assembly is coaxially aligned with the mixing valve. The handle assembly includes a base insertably coupled to the valve nut and a handle rotatably coupled to the base. The handle is threadably coupled to the mixing valve. The escutcheon abuts a wall when the handle is threadably coupled to the mixing valve.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: KOHLER CO.Inventors: Tucker A. Jones, Brian J. Mooren, Evan S. Yee, Gregory R. Schmidt

Publication number: 20240009688Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to adjustable components of a shower assembly. The shower assembly includes at least one showerhead moveably coupled to a shower rail by a joint. The joint is located at a position away from a center axis of the showerhead such that the showerhead can move between at least two independent showerhead positions. The shower rail includes at least one slidable component such that a position of the shower rail can be adjusted in at least one direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Kohler Co.Inventors: Gary Clarke, Tucker Jones, Connor McManus, Brandon Miller

Patent number: 11156302Abstract: A tub and shower diverter assembly includes a manifold sub-assembly that is configured to be detachably coupled to, and in fluid communication with, an existing waterway connector of a conventional tub and shower diverter system. The manifold sub-assembly includes a manifold, first and second flow control valves coupled to the manifold, and first and second tolerance adjustors adjustably coupled to the first and second flow control valves, respectively. The first flow control valve is configured to provide a flow of water to one of a tub or a shower device. The second flow control valve is configured to provide a flow of water to the other of the tub or the shower device. The first and second tolerance adjustors are each configured to be selectively adjusted to change an axial position of the respective tolerance adjustor relative to a wall adjacent the manifold sub-assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: KOHLER CO.Inventors: Tucker A. Jones, Brian J. Mooren, Evan S. Yee, Gregory R. Schmidt
