  • Vertically adjustable stilts
    Patent number: 7794366
    Abstract: A height adjustable stilt comprises a base and an extensible leg having a lower end secured to the base and an upper end. A foot support extends laterally from the extensible leg and is supported by the extensible leg. The foot support is height adjustable relative to the base as the extensible leg is extended or retracted. A height adjuster is configured to selectively extend the foot support relative to the base and configured to selectively fix the position of the foot support relative to the base.
    Type: Grant

  • Control circuit for reducing splitter cycles in an auxiliary drive box
    Patent number: 7207240
    Abstract: A command assembly for controlling a splitter in a transmission allows shifting between first and reverse-low gears while the splitter is engaged without requiring the splitter to cycle during the shift. The command assembly creates a signal path for a split enable signal that keeps the transmission in the split mode as long as the transmission engages a low rail of a main drive box. By creating a separate signal path for the split enable signal when the transmission is operating in split mode, the splitter does not need to be cycled when the driver shifts between first and reverse-low gears.
