Abstract: A portable screening plant which can be readily transported and easily installed at an operating site for screening of gravel or other particulate materials. The plant comprises an endless loop conveyor belt mounted on a frame which also supports a hopper for supply of material to the belt. The shaker is adjustably attached to the frame by a linkage mechanism to permit raising of the shaker to an operating position and lower thereof to a closed travelling position. The hopper includes reciprocatory wiper blades to prevent accumulation of material on the hopper walls.

Abstract: A truck cover for use with an open top truck body and which can be furled in an open position at the forward end of the body and unfurled into a position covering the open body top. A cover sheet of flexible material is secured at its forward edge to a motor driven assembly disposed at the forward end of a truck body and having a rotatable shaft. The rearward edge of the cover sheet is secured to a spring-loaded frame which normally urges the cover into a rearward position covering the open body top. A plurality of cables are disposed along spaced parallel paths extending the full length of the cover sheet and are slidably attached to the cover sheet by a plurality of rings. The cables are secured at one end at the spring-loaded frame and at the other end to the rotatable shaft. Upon rotation of the shaft in a first direction, the cables are wound onto the shaft, causing the cover sheet to be drawn forward into a furled position.
