  • Patent number: 10625398
    Abstract: A cooling lubricant supply device for supply of a cooling lubricant to a grinding wheel is rotatably mounted as a tool on a grinding spindle of a processing unit in a grinding machine. The device has a feed shoe, which is mounted at least indirectly on a grinding spindle housing and seated on a circumferential surface of the grinding wheel and which has a seating surface facing the grinding wheel. The seating surface has a shape substantially complementary with the circumferential surface of the grinding wheel and is provided centrally with a pocket-like recess into which the cooling lubricant can be fed under pressure. A spring mechanism is provided, by which the feed shoe is biased with the seating surface thereof against the circumferential surface of the grinding wheel.

  • Patent number: 10173874
    Abstract: A rack-mounted information handling system (IHS) includes a rack to mount functional compute components between opposing lateral sides that are being supported by floor supports. A pair of rack lifting structures are each respectively positioned beside a different opposing lateral side of the rack. Each rack lifting structure includes a foot having at least front and rear floor contacting portions. A vertical support includes a lower portion that is coupled to the foot and an upper portion that extends above an adjacent top lateral frame member of the rack. A top member is coupled to the vertical support and presents front and rear attachment components to engage the adjacent top lateral frame member. A jack engagement surface is defined within the vertical support to receive one or more furniture jacks that can be used to lift the pair of rack lifting structures and the attached rack-mounted IHS.

  • Patent number: 9206568
    Abstract: A height adjustable auger shroud for a snow blower comprises a pair of wheels secured to a lower portion of the opposing sides of the shroud. The wheels are secured to the shroud by a pair of levers. Each lever comprises a first and second plate. The first plate is positioned against the shroud, and includes an upper arcuate perimeter having a series of notches along the upper perimeter line. The second plate is rotatably connected to the first plate, and includes a lever arm on one vertical half of the plate, and a wheel attachment on the opposing half of the plate. Actuation of the lever arm in relation to the first plate raises or lowers the wheel in relation to the shroud, thereby altering the distance between the shroud and the ground surface.

  • Patent number: 8240681
    Abstract: A wheel supporting mechanism for adjusting height of a housing supported by the wheels is provided. The wheel supporting mechanism includes wheels supporting a housing; an axle extending from each of the wheels; a wheel mounting member, which has a bearing rotatably supporting the axle, and which has a first end portion and a second end portion; a pivot supporting portion, which pivotally supports the wheel mounting member in relation to the housing; a pivot restriction member that restricts pivoting of the wheel mounting member by being engaged with a vicinity of the second end portion; and an adjustment member that adjusts a height of the housing in relation to the wheel by restricting a pivoting range of the wheel mounting member by connecting the pivot restriction member to the housing.

  • Patent number: 6494474
    Abstract: An anti-tip mechanism for use with a wheelchair is provided. The anti-tip mechanism has a support frame being adapted to be coupled to the wheelchair. A first and a second wheel support arm extend outwardly from the support frame and are pivotally coupled thereto. A wheel is rotatably connected to each of the support arms. An adjusting mechanism is coupled between the frame and the support arms. The adjusting mechanism is adapted to change the position of the support arms relative to the frame. In this manner, the adjusting mechanism is adapted to raise and lower the wheels. The anti-tip wheels of the wheelchair are thus adjustable to different fixed positions relative to the support frame by operation of the adjusting mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6273435
    Abstract: A trailer for use in transporting a load from one area to another area has a frame and a bed operatively mounted to the frame which is capable of being moved from a first or lowered position to a second or elevated position in a substantially vertical manner or nontilting manner. At least one lifting mechanism is operatively connected to the bed, which applies the greatest force for lifting the bed from the lowered position to the elevated position at the beginning of the lift, rather than at an end or midpoint of the lift. At least one over-center latching mechanism secures the bed to the frame when the bed is in the elevated position.

  • Patent number: 6179542
    Abstract: A kneeling dolly with ramp brake and method of use. Each kneeling dolly with ramp brake comprises a body having a ramp adjacent a wheel well, two front wheels swivellably and retractably attached to the body, and at least one rear wheel. Devices for extending and retracting the front wheels are provided. The instant kneeling dolly with ramp brake may be used singly, in pairs, or in whatever grouping(s) desired. In operation, a vehicle is rolled onto kneeling dollies with ramp brake, until one vehicle wheel is disposed on a respective kneeling dolly with ramp brake. Due to the swivellable attachment of the front and rear wheels, each kneeling dolly with ramp brake is free to travel in any desired direction, and thus the vehicle supported by the kneeling dollies with ramp brake may be pushed in any direction. This flexibility in movement helps relieve congestion and maximize floor space in garages, hangars, etc.
