Publication number: 20230406159Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a door assembly. The body is supported by the chassis, and defines a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The driver compartment has a cab opening and the cargo compartment has a cargo opening. The door assembly is coupled to the body and provides selective access into the driver compartment and into the cargo compartment through the cab opening and cargo opening, respectively. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door. The first door is movable between a first position extending across the cab opening and a second position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening. The second door is movable between a third position extending across the cargo opening and a fourth position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Paul Schmidt, Mitchell Wolfrath, Ronald Kaunisto, James Kramer, Mark A.

Patent number: 8215087Abstract: An apparatus for forming a stack of food products in a storage container, and a method therefor. The apparatus comprises a first gate moveable between an open and a closed position that drops a row of food products onto a second gate moveable between an open and a closed position. The second gate receives multiple rows of food products and once a predetermined number of rows have been received, the second gate opens to release the rows of food products into the storage container below it. As the first gate shifts from the open to the closed position, it can advance, at least in part, a subsequent row of food products onto the first gate for later release onto the second gate. The area defined by the second gate and the first gate is a temporary staging area which can increase in height after receiving subsequent rows of food products.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2008Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Kraft Foods Global Brands LLCInventors: Mark Ervin Malenke, Scott Adler, Tod Heleniak, Dave Hess
