Patent number: 8491242Abstract: A cargo rollout stop includes a base, and a guide head pivotally mounted to the base. The guide head is movable between a raised blocking position, and a lowered non-blocking position. A retraction pedal is pivotally mounted to the guide head, and is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the guide head. The retraction pedal permits downward rotation of the guide head from its raised blocking position to its lowered non-blocking position when the retraction pedal is in its second position, and blocks downward rotation of the guide head from its raised blocking position to its lowered non-blocking position when the retraction pedal is in its it first position.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Goodrich CorporationInventor: Aaron J. Roberts

Publication number: 20110002752Abstract: A cargo rollout stop includes a base having a first end and a second end. A first guide head is movably mounted to the base proximate to the first end, and a second guide head is movably mounted to the base proximate to the second end. The guide heads each are movable between a raised blocking position and a lowered non-blocking position. A blocking member is movably mounted to the base, and is disposed between the guide heads. The blocking member includes a first portion engaged with the first guide head, and a second portion engaged with the second guide head, and is movable between a first position and a second position. The first and second portions prevent substantial downward movement of the guide heads when the guide heads are in their raised blocking positions and the blocking member is in its first position. The guide heads are restrained in their lowered non-blocking positions by the blocking member when the blocking member is in its second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2010Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: Goodrich CorporationInventor: Aaron J.

Patent number: 6612422Abstract: A conveyor roller assembly comprising a supporting bracket through which the roller assembly can be fixed in use, a hollow, generally cylindrical roller shell supported for rotation about its longitudinal axis on the bracket, an electrical generator housed within the roller shell and driven thereby by rotation of the shell to produce an electrical output, a brake within the roller shell and operable to brake rotation of the shell relative to the bracket, a speed sensor within the shell for sensing the speed of rotation of the shell relative to the bracket, and, an actuator powered by the electrical output of the generator when the speed sensor detects that the speed of rotation of the shell relative to the bracket exceeds a predetermined value, to effect operation of the brake to brake rotation of the shell.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2001Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Lucas Western Inc.Inventors: Aaron J Roberts, Stephen J Senger, Wallace H Larson, Garreth J Kavlie
