  • Patent number: 9010832
    Abstract: A multi-piece tank enclosure comprises a horizontal cover and a vertical panel removably connected to each other and to the vehicle body such that they form a space for enclosing a tank that is mounted on the vehicle body. The horizontal cover can comprise an assembly formed by a lid and a toolbox bin, and the vertical panel can be provided with an opening for accessing the tank fittings. The multi-piece tank enclosure can be installed on a vehicle by removably attaching the horizontal cover and the vertical panel to the vehicle body. The multi-piece tank enclosure can accommodate toolbox bins of different sizes, each matched to a different sized tank.

  • Publication number: 20130306695
    Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a tank to a vehicle provides a support structure that can be employed in the same mounting location to mount tanks of different dimensions. The support structure comprises at least one support bracket mounted on a vehicle body. The support bracket comprising two mounting points spaced apart from each other and spaced from the vehicle body. A strap that is tightened to clamp around the tank has two mounts spaced along the length of the strap to connect to the two mounting points respectively. Some rotational movement is allowed where the mounts connect to the mounting points to accommodate tanks with different cross-sectional dimensions.

  • Patent number: 6036345
    Abstract: A design and engineering project management system comprising a computer including a microprocessor, program memory, data storage memory, one or more displays, logic for identifying overall product objectives and group objectives relating to each of one or more subsystems or components of the overall product and displaying the overall objective and group objectives in a plurality of graphic windows which are quickly retrieved by the system operator, thereby integrating the diverse interests and activities of the groups into a comprehensive system design and implementation program. The system also preferably includes logic for identifying one or more strategies for achieving group objectives and presenting the strategies in a graphic form which allows for quick comparison of competing strategies.
