  • Patent number: 10227078
    Abstract: A luggage cart assembly including multiple luggage containers which are vertically arranged, and one or more of the containers are pivotable such that the container can be accessed without having to move the other containers, where the container includes first and second attachment members to attach the container to the luggage cart. When the first attachment member is detached from the luggage cart and the second attachment member remains attached to the luggage cart, the container is pivotable relative to luggage cart and the container is supported by the second attachment member. The first and second containers may be vertically separated from one another in some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 10077572
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of lifts configured to couple to a storage tank about the storage tank, a reservoir to store compressed air, and a manifold. Each lift includes a hoist, a coupling to extend between the hoist and a roof of the storage tank, an inlet conduit to be coupled to an inlet of the hoist, and an outlet conduit to be coupled to an outlet of the hoist. A pressure difference between the inlet of the hoist and the outlet of the hoist spools the hoist. The manifold fluidly couples the reservoir to each inlet conduit and fluidly couples each outlet conduit to an exhaust. The manifold includes a plurality of outlet valves, each coupled to one outlet conduit of the plurality of outlet conduits and configured to regulate flow between the outlets of the plurality of hoists and the exhaust.

  • Patent number: 9908654
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing, transporting and dispensing conveyor belts is described. The apparatus, in the form of a crate, has top and bottom conventional pallets, allowing for easy handling and strength for additional stacked crates. The center of the crate holds a hub assembly that moves rotationally, and allows smooth transition from consecutive layers of the conveyor belt wrapped thereon. During shipment, the roll of conveyor belt lies on its side. In one embodiment, a center pipe axle of the spool passes through holes in the top and bottom pallets. Alternatively, the center pipe axle passes through channels created between planks of the top and bottom pallets. These configurations secure the roll in the crate, and allow it to turn freely when loaded or unloaded.

  • Patent number: 8668291
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a metal clad facade includes a thin metal cladding having at least one edge. The facade or the object with which it is associated has at least one edge around which the metal cladding edge can be wrapped. The wrapped edge could optionally be crimped. Optionally, exposed edges of the cladding could be covered by raised bosses or ribs on the façade. Optionally, a projection or extension of the cladding, oblique to other parts of the cladding, could extend into an opening in or near a surface of the facade or its underlying object. Wrapping of at least one edge with the metal cladding provides the appearance of a more substantial metal part than if the edge were not wrapped and provides for a more securement and durable attachment between the cladding and the underlying object.
