Latest Patents

Top-Mounted Double-Action Door Hinge. This invention describes a hinge for flexible or semi-flexible doors that swing in either direction. Its upper pivot mounts to a door jamb, while the lower pivot can move along an elongated slot as the door opens. The design uses the door’s weight and a spring mechanism to help guide it back toward the centered position.

Refrigeration Insulation Panel and Structure. This invention describes an insulated air-lock tunnel made from flexible side and top panels, with swing-hinged doors at both ends. The doors use closed-cell rubber between coated nylon sheets, reinforced edges, and a protective bumper layer. Support bars and a spring-biased hinge mechanism help hold the panels in place and return the doors to a normally closed position.

Career Highlights

Anderson’s listed patents focus on functional improvements to door hardware and insulated panel structures. The hinge design addresses two-way movement and self-centering, while the refrigeration-panel design combines insulation, reinforcement, and flexible construction.
