  • Patent number: 6079058
    Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the inflatable toilet of the present invention incorporates an inflatable support structure which includes a top and defines a cavity. The top has a first aperture sidewall defining a first aperture that provides access to the cavity. Additionally, the aperture sidewall includes a lower portion which extends into the cavity. A disposable bag, which preferably includes an adhesive laden open end, is removably attached to the lower portion of the aperture sidewall for receiving waste. The first sidewall also defines a second aperture configured for providing access to the cavity so that the disposable bag can be removed from the lower portion of the interior aperture wall and withdrawn from the cavity. In some embodiments, a lid also is provided, with the lid being configured to cover the first aperture when in a closed position.

  • Patent number: 5706657
    Abstract: In machines having a bucket that is capable of carrying a load of material, it is well known that when the machine encounters a bump or other obstacle that the effects thereof may result in machine bounce or the operator is subjected to a jolt due to the sudden change in forces acting on the lift actuator of the lift mechanism. Accumulators have been connected to the loaded end of the actuator to provide a cushion or damping of the sudden changes in the forces. When the machine is being used without the accumulator connected to the loaded end of the actuator, the accumulator is normally connected to the loaded end of the actuator through an orifice in order to maintain a pre-charge in the accumulator equal to the pressure in the loaded end of the actuator. In order to ensure that the pressure in the accumulator is always equal to the pressure in the actuator, the accumulator is selectively connected to an auxiliary source of pressurized fluid.

  • Patent number: 5683071
    Abstract: A pilot hydraulic system controller including a pilot controller valve for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid to actuate a primary hydraulic system valve, a pilot controller lockout valve, and a detent control circuit for selectively energizing a detent solenoid coil connected to said pilot controller valve, the detent control circuit include a switch means for selectively disabling the detent solenoid coil when the pilot controller lockout valve is actuated to hydraulically disable the pilot controller, so as to prevent the detent solenoid coil from acting upon the pilot controller valve when the pilot controller is hydraulically disabled.
