Inventors:

William Conley - Long Beach CA, US

Ricardo Lopez - Fontana CA, US

International Classification:

F04D 29/36

US Classification:

416 1, 416143

Abstract:

A rotating fan with a transmission mechanism and a blade deployment mechanism. In an energized state, an electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic force that causes a clutch plate to be in contact with a contact surface, thereby engaging a planetary gear system. In a de-energized state, the clutch plate is not in contact with the contact surface, thereby disengaging the planetary gear system. In a deployed configuration, a drive link activated by the planetary gear system rotates a blade link to cause a fan blade to pivot. The result is that the fan blade tip is farther from the motor shaft than the fan blade root. In a retracted configuration, the drive link rotates the blade link to cause the fan blade to pivot and retract. The result is that the fan blade tip is equidistant from the motor shaft as the fan blade root.

Inventors:

Nicole Sollazzo Lee - , US
William Patrick Conley - Long Beach CA, US

International Classification:

G01G 13/02

US Classification:

222 77

Abstract:

A precision measurement dispenser provides for storage of a granular bulk material in a storage container that is preferably airtight. The granular material is held in a storage container which feeds a dispensing section that is preferably positioned within the storage container. The dispensing section selectively dispenses the ingredient by gravity to a weighting tray of a scale. The ingredient is dispensed by weight. The storage dispensing unit may also include a display and keypad for entry of a desired quantity of ingredient to be dispensed, and optionally which of plural ingredients to be dispensed. A controller can convert a requested volumetric measure to an equivalent weight measure, and dispense by weight in place of volume. The storage dispensing unit further optionally includes pressure control, temperature control, and/or humidity control on the storage container. The dispensing section uses screw, roll, vibration, or shuttle mechanisms for precise dispensing of material.

Abstract:

A device, method, and system for precision measurement, dispensing, and mixing of ingredients. The device includes an ingredient container and a base unit. The ingredient container includes a dispensing mechanism selectively driven to dispense the ingredients from a lower aperture thereof. The base unit includes at least one drive motor, a mixing mechanism, and a dispensing aperture extending through the base unit and configured to allow the quantity of ingredients dispensed from the ingredient container to pass through the base unit to a removable mixing bowl. The base unit may selectively operate in a dispensing mode that drives the dispensing mechanism and in a mixing mode that drives the mixing mechanism to rotate a mixing component removably coupled to the base unit and configured to extend into the removable mixing bowl for mixing the quantity of the ingredients dispensed from the ingredient container into the removable mixing bowl.
