  • Publication number: 20200325973
    Abstract: A gearless differential for distributing power from a motor to two follower shafts with ends connected to opposite wheels and to opposed outer disks held in position with a journal mounted casing having corresponding identical regular polygonal raceways with asymmetric sections surrounding a central drive disk there between with equidistant radial slots each holding one cylinder or roller bearing to radially reciprocate as they race along the raceways in a slippage mode where one wheel loses traction; and in a drive mode where the central drive disk power input drives both outer disks connected to the two follower shafts transferring torque evenly to both wheels so there is no movement of the cylinders or roller bearings in the raceways.

  • Patent number: 10794016
    Abstract: A concrete curb forming and extruding apparatus with wheel adjustment locks, and an adjustable slip form system shaping cementitious material into a continuous curb forced there through by an extruder which receives materials stored in a hopper with dasher. The extruder has a rotary trowel compacting member which continually forces material from the hopper into compressed concrete passing through an adjustable slip form to fill the same and form differing shaped continuous curbing underneath fences or against vertical surfaces or conventional curbing, depending upon the slip form setting.
