Abstract: A motorcycle transport system for allowing transporting of a motorcycle and convenient securing/releasing of the motorcycle from a transporting device. The inventive device includes a base mountable to a bed of a transporting device, a pair of catch structures attached to opposing sides of the base, a permanent bracket secured to motorcycle frame members, a plurality of flanged end members extending downwardly from the permanent bracket, a pair of middle brackets each having a pair of slots for catchably securing to the flanged end members, a pair of pegs extending from the pair of middle brackets for releasably attaching to the pair of catch structures. The catch structures include a pair of levers for allowing the user to release the pegs from the catch structures with their foot.
Abstract: A wheel supported grain wagon includes a box or container with sloping side walls extending to a bottom wall, and a discharge opening is formed within one of the side walls adjacent the bottom wall. An inner metering door or panel and an adjacent outer closure door or panel are supported by parallel spaced dual tracks for movement between lower positions closing the discharge opening and retracted upper open positions. An actuator first raises the outer closure panel to permit grain to flow through a metering passage defined by the bottom edge of the metering panel and to release grain pressure on the metering panel. The metering door is then elevated in response to further elevation of the outer closure panel so that grain flows smoothly under both panels without obstructions.
Abstract: A dumping apparatus for a conveying system for transporting a load from one site to another site at which the load is dumped from the apparatus includes a carriage which is supportable by a track for movement therealong and a dump bed which is supported by the carriage for pivotal movement relative thereto about both a vertical axis and a horizontal axis. The apparatus also includes mechanisms interposed between the carriage and the dump bed for pivoting the dump bed about the vertical axis to a desired position thereabout and for pivoting the dump body about a horizontal axis so that the dump bed can be tilted so as to dump the dump bed at any location about the horizontal axis.
