  • Cart transport vessel
    Patent number: 11008202
    Abstract: A cart transport vessel includes a fixed platform configured to hold at least one cart, a fixed ramp located adjacent to the fixed platform and a foldable ramp extension that is rotatably coupled to a front end of the fixed ramp. In an opened configuration, a first side of the foldable ramp extension faces upwardly and is in planar alignment with a planar top surface of the fixed ramp and an opposing second side of the foldable extension faces downwardly. In a closed configuration, the foldable ramp extension is rotated so that the first side of the foldable ramp extension faces downwardly and is in contact with the planar top surface of the ramp section and the opposing second side of the foldable ramp extension faces upwardly to provide a flat operator workspace area that is configured to be stood on by an operator.

  • Multiple layer conductor pin for electrical connector and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 8123549
    Abstract: A multiple layer conductor pin for a harsh environment connector or penetrator has a conductive shaft, an outer layer of non-conductive, insulating material extending along at least part of the length of the shaft, and an intermediate layer of conductive or semi-conductive material sandwiched between the outer layer and conductive shaft and bonded substantially void-free to the outer insulating layer.

  • GAP HIDER FOR ASSIST GRIP
    Publication number: 20110291435
    Abstract: A gap hider is provided for closing an opening between the ends of an assist grip and a trim panel, the gap hider fitting into a recess in the ends of the assist grip such that no adhesive or fasteners are needed. The gap hider provides that the trim panel can be deployed from beneath a portion of the assist grip without effecting the side air bag deployment.
