Filed:

Sep 26, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/672574

Inventors:

Paul Tyler - Oakland CA, US

International Classification:

A42B 1/06

US Classification:

2209, 219211, 362103, 362105

Abstract:

A heated ear guard, for warming the ears of the user, having a pair of reflector assemblies and a headband extending between the reflector assemblies for positioning the reflector assemblies over the ears of the user. Each reflector assembly has an open end, a light bulb, and orients light from the light bulb toward the open end. When the open end is positioned over the ears the light bulbs radiate heat to the ears. The reflector assemblies may include a translucent peripheral ring that encircles the open end and allows some light to escape thereat to enhance the visibility of the user.

International Classification:

A61F 7/00

US Classification:

607109, 607108

Abstract:

A pair of cooling ear muffs, for use by a user in cooling the head of the user. A pair of ear covers each have a shell and contain a reservoir for holding a chilled liquid. A sealing ring on each ear cover encircles the ear and a thermal membrane communicates heat from the ear to the reservoir. A connecting band extends between the ear covers for maintaining the ear muffs on the head of the user while holding the ear covers in position on the ears.

US Classification:

362105, 362253, 362 86, 362300, 362311

Abstract:

An illuminated ear protector, comprising a pair of ear covers, each ear cover comprising a translucent rigid shell having an open end and a closed end, a circuit board attached within the rigid shell comprising at least one battery connector thereon, at least one and preferably two light emitting diode lights electrically connected to the circuit board, a switch connected to the circuit board controlling the at least one light emitting diode light, a first reflector located at the open end and oriented such that substantially all light from the at least one light emitting diode light is directed towards the closed end, a plate attached to the open end which supports the reflector, a peripheral sealing ring for contacting one of the ears and cushioning the ear cover there against which is attached to an opposite side of the plate from the reflector, and a headband attached to each of the ear covers which extends over the head of the user and secures each of the ear covers over one of the ears of the user.

International Classification:

A47C007/50

US Classification:

297/423100

Abstract:

A kneeling tray, for use by a worker when kneeling upon a ground surface, comprising a housing having a bottom which is positionable on the ground surface and a top having a cushion. A heating element is located within the cushion for warming the cushion. The heating element may be powered by line current and by rechargeable battery packs. The rechargeable battery packs may be recharged when the tray is connected to a line power source.

Appl. No.:

13/068410

Inventors:

Paul Tyler - Oakland CA, US

International Classification:

F22D 1/16

US Classification:

122444

Abstract:

A modified portion of gas hot water heater exhaust vent tubing. Cold water tubing is wound around the outside of a tube of the same interior diameter and vertical orientation as the exhaust vent tube that typical gas hot water heaters are designed to operate with. Said vent tube is insulated, double-walled, or is otherwise of a sufficient thickness and/or appropriate material composition so as to prevent condensation occurring on its interior surfaces, and may contain small vents or perforations that allow hot exhaust gases to communicate with the cold water tubing. An insulating jacket is located proximally to the cold water tubing whereby the insulating jacket, cold water tubing and vent tube portion are enclosed within a housing portion. The present invention is meant to easily replace an existing section of exhaust venting typically used in a consistent vertical orientation with a common gas hot water heater.
