  • Patent number: 11293532
    Abstract: A screw jack assembly includes a first body defining a longitudinal axis and a screw drive disposed within the first body. The screw jack assembly also includes a second body movable relative to the first body and coupled to the screw drive, and a first gear coupled to the screw drive. The screw jack assembly further includes a handle assembly having a tube member coupled to the first body. The handle assembly also includes a second gear coupled to the first gear. The handle assembly further includes a handle member coupled to the second gear and adapted to rotate about a rotational axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The handle member is adapted to selectively rotate between an operating position and a stowed position about the longitudinal axis based, at least in part, on rotation of the tube member relative to the first body along the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 11124929
    Abstract: A screed assembly associated with a machine includes a screed disposed at a rear end of the machine and at least one control panel assembly coupled to the screed. The at least one control panel assembly includes a control panel including a recess and a support structure adapted to be removably coupled with the control panel. The support structure includes a first structure defining a first axis. The first structure is movable along the first axis and rotatable about the first axis. The support structure also includes a second structure movably coupled to the first structure. The second structure defines a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis. The second structure is rotatable about the second axis and includes a locking member adapted to be slidably received within the recess of the control panel for removably coupling the control panel with the support structure.
