Patent number: 10717472Abstract: A floor structure is assembled from a plurality of extruded aluminum planks that extend laterally across the bed of a truck floor positioned on an undercarriage of a center beam and cross beams. The planks each have one or more ribs on their underside to strengthen the floor structure and provide a mechanical means for connecting adjacent planks together. Each plank is configured with a female end rib and a male end rib that interlock to restrain movement relative the adjacent planks in all directions except the lateral direction. Side rails are attached to the floor structure at the edges of the plank bed to prevent movement of the planks in the lateral direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Knapheide Manufacturing CompanyInventors: John Wiberg, Manoj Patil, Justin Steele, Richard Baze, Lance Jones, Lance Gronewold

Patent number: 10513228Abstract: A self fixturing sidepack cabinet for a utility truck body has right and left doorjamb components that are positioned to the right and left of the cabinet door in the closed position. The door closes against door stop components positioned around the doorjamb, and extending inward. The door stop components may have a flexible edging component fitted on them around the doorway. The top door stop component extends from an upper door frame component configured with tabs bent 90 degrees from the door stop surface. The tabs slide behind the left and right doorjamb components to ensure the top of the door opening is dimensionally correct and installed at the proper angles.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Inventors: Justin Steele, Richard Baze, Lance Jones, Mark Rose

Patent number: 9858017Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for indicating capabilities of a printer. One embodiment is a system that includes a memory storing instructions for operating a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and a controller that presents the GUI based on the instructions. A control of the GUI includes a list of entries that each correspond with a potential printer capability. Responsive to detecting new text entered into a text field, the GUI displays an add button. In response to detecting a cursor over an entry in the list: the GUI displays a select button for selecting the entry to indicate actual capabilities of a specific printer. In response to detecting that a user has clicked on one of the select buttons to indicate an actual capability of the printer, the GUI selects a corresponding entry for the select button in combination with other entries to indicate the actual capabilities of the printer.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Lance Jones, Maryamossadat Nematollahi Mahani, Calin Muresan
