Abstract: A cover assembly for a truck having a material carrying container wherein the cover assembly includes a retractable cover having a first end attached to a roller assembly and a second end attached to a cover support element. The cover support element has two ends, each of which is joined at the upper end of a pair of variable length pivot arms which are pivotable about a lower end thereof at a point intermediate two ends of the container and adjacent the bottom of the container, between a first position in which the cover support element is adjacent a first end of the container and a second position in which the cover support element is adjacent a second end of the container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container cover. In particular it relates to a cover for a truck having a material carrying container, such as a roll-on/roll-off truck, skip lorry, or tipper truck. There is described a cover assembly for the container of a vehicle; the container having first and second ends and the cover assembly comprising a variable height tower assembly having a retractable cover with a first end attached to the tower assembly and a second end attached to a cover support element, the tower assembly being movable in height by way of the combined lifting forces of at least one pneumatic cylinder and at least one gas spring, between a first position adjacent the top edge of the container at the first end thereof, and a second position that is more greatly spaced above the top of the container.

Abstract: A cover assembly for a container of a vehicle, wherein the container has a first end and a second end. The cover assembly comprises a retractable cover having a first end attached to a roller assembly and a second end attached to a cover support element, and rolling means adapted to roll the cover upon the roller assembly. The cover support element is supported by at least one pivot arm at an upper end thereof. The pivot arm is pivotable about a lower end thereof at a point intermediate the two ends of the container and adjacent the bottom of the container, between a first position in which the cover support element is adjacent the first end of the container and a second position in which the cover support element is adjacent the second end of the container. The roller assembly is mounted for movement between a lower position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a truck cover. In particular, it relates to a cover for a truck having a material carrying container, such as a tipper truck or roll-on/roll-off truck. There is described a cover assembly for the container of a vehicle; the container having first and second ends and the cover assembly comprising a retractable cover having a first end attached to a roller assembly and a second end attached to a cover support element; said cover support element having two ends, each of which is joined at the upper end of a pair of pivot arms, said pivot arms being pivotable about a lower end thereof at a point intermediate the two ends of the container and adjacent the bottom of the container, between a first position in which the cover support element is adjacent the first end of the container and a second position in which the cover support element is adjacent the second end of the container; and wherein the union between the pivot arms and cover support element is a flexible joint.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for depositing a uniform coating on a large area, planar surface using an array of multiple plasma sources and a common reactant gas injector. The apparatus includes at least one array of a plurality of plasma sources, wherein each of the plurality of plasma sources includes a cathode, an anode, and an inlet for a non-reactive plasma source gas disposed in a plasma chamber, and a common reactant gas injector disposed in a deposition chamber that contains the substrate. The common reactant gas injector provides a uniform flow of at least one reactant gas to each of the multiple plasmas generated the multiple plasma sources through a single delivery system. The at least one reactant gas reacts with the plurality of plasmas to form a uniform coating on a substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a truck cover. In particular, it relates to a cover for a truck having a material carrying container, such as a tipper truck. A first embodiment includes a cover assembly for the container of a vehicle; the container having first and second ends and the cover assembly comprising a retractable cover having a first end attached to a roller assembly and a second end attached to a cover support element, the cover assembly comprising rolling means adapted to roll the cover upon the roller assembly. The cover element is supported by at least one pivot arm at an upper end thereof, said pivot arm being pivotable about a lower end thereof at a point intermediate the two ends of the container and adjacent the bottom of the container, between a first position in which the cover support element is adjacent the first end of the container and a second position in which the cover support element is adjacent the second end of the container.
