  • Patent number: 10029750
    Abstract: A stabilizing structure for increasing structural stability of a trailer is provided. The stabilizing structure includes one or more stabilizing units having tension cables and coupling mounts connecting the tension cables to a bottom frame of the trailer. The tension cables are arranged such that a first tension cable overlaps a second tension cable. The tension cables may have threaded ends that are connected to the coupling mounts. A support plate may be provided wherein the support plate is positioned at an intersection of the two tension cables such that a first tension cable is below the support plate and a second tension cable is above the support plate. A single support plate may connect tension cables of adjacent stabilizing units.

  • Patent number: 4553977
    Abstract: Solid waste is separated by a first trommel screen into substantially intact aluminum cans and an organics-rich fraction from which recyclable fiber products may be separated. Organics are at least in part isolated for use as a fuel with or without pulping. The aluminum cans are separated from inorganics in a second trommel screen and, by manual sorting, organic combustibles are separated from the aluminum cans. Magnetic separation is used as required to recover ferrous materials. The recyclable fiber products may be processed for conversion to paper pulp and residue for use as a fuel.
