Abstract: A steering assist system (SAS) for a cart is provided. The SAS may include an activation mechanism, a first actuation mechanism, a first support mechanism, a first linkage mechanism, a first stopping mechanism, and a first engagement mechanism. The first stopping mechanism may be configured to abut the first engagement mechanism to impede or prevent rotational movement of at least one wheel of the cart. The first actuation mechanism may be connected to the first linkage mechanism and the first linkage mechanism may be connected to the first stopping mechanism. The activation mechanism may be configured to activate the first actuation mechanism, causing the first linkage mechanism and the first stopping mechanism to move. The first stopping mechanism may be configured to move between a fully activated position and a fully deactivated position.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a cart having an adjustable handle system, the cart having: a chassis supported on wheels; a horizontal work surface having a perimeter defined by at least a front edge, a rear edge, and two side edges; a stationary handle connected to, and extending along the perimeter of the horizontal work surface from an origination point located on the rear edge to a connecting point located on one of the two side edges; a moveable handle axially coupled to the stationary handle at the connecting point and extending along the perimeter of the horizontal work surface from the connecting point to an end point located on the front edge; and an adjustable connecting device connecting the moveable handle to the stationary handle at the connecting point and controlling the angular position of the moveable handle relative to the stationary handle.

Abstract: A weather-resistant, tear-resistant banner of polycarbonate material is mounted to a post or pole using a channel member and a bracket system that readily allows changing of seasonal banners. The polycarbonate die-cut banner is suspended along a single edge by the channel member which slides into the bracket. The bracket can be banded to virtually any post or pole regardless of shape or size.

Abstract: A crate assembly having a base, a first support member secured to the base and having a first shelf and a second support member secured to the base and having a second shelf. The crate assembly additionally includes a third support member secured to the base and having a third shelf and a fourth corner support member secured to the base and having a fourth shelf. A generally centric support member is secured to the base and includes a structure defining at least one generally centric shelf. A first brace assembly is connected to the first support member and a second brace assembly is connected to the fourth support member. A connecting assembly is releasably engaged to the first brace assembly and to the second brace assembly. A container assembly including the crate assembly supporting a pallet. A method is provided for transporting transformers with the crate assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for selecting a consumable welding wire from a plurality of consumable welding wires. The apparatus has a base, and a drive wheel rotatably supported by the base for engaging a consumable welding wire. A plurality of pinch-roller arms is pivotally secured to the base, and a plurality of pinch rollers is rotatably secured to the plurality of pinch-roller arms. The apparatus also includes a plurality of spring assemblies supported by the base for biasing the plurality of pinch-roller arms. A plurality of pneumatic cylinder assemblies engage the base and the pinch-roller arms for moving the pinch-roller arms relative to the base. A method for selecting any one of a plurality of consumable welding wires comprising pivoting a pinch-roller assembly to cause a rotatable pinch roller to engage and hold a consumable welding wire in driving engagement with a rotatable drive wheel.
