Abstract: A vibratory separator includes a screen frame having an upper screen surface and a plurality of openings and a first screen insert disposed in a first opening of the plurality of openings of the screen frame, the screen insert having a screen surface positioned at a first height above the supper screen surface. The vibratory separator also includes a second screen insert disposed in a second opening of the plurality of openings of the second screen frame, wherein a screen surface of the second screen insert is positioned at a second height. The second height may be different from the first height. A method of processing fluid includes providing a flow of fluid to a vibratory separator, and flowing the fluid over a screen having a first screen insert positioned at a first height.

Abstract: The invention relates to a screen frame adapted for use in a shaker to separate solids from a liquid/solid mixture and to which woven wire mesh is to be attached, comprising an outer perimeter and a plurality of ribs extending between opposing regions of the perimeter, the ribs defining an upper horizontal face to which a screen is to be attached, wherein at least one rib extends downwardly from the upper face at an angle off set to vertical, and to a shaker comprising at least one such screen frame.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an improved top rail for a container body, e.g. a truck body, are disclosed. In exemplary embodiments, a support structure is disposed at least partially within a channel of the top rail to provide increased strength to the top rail and to protect the top rail and container body from damage. Examples of support structures include support blocks, such as composite blocks, and support rails, such as metal rails. In an exemplary embodiment, a low-profile light source can be installed on the top rail and/or the support structure.

Abstract: A separating screen has a rectangular body (1) one side of which has a seal for sealing against an abutting side of an adjacent screen or shaker basket. The seal is provided by an elongate sealing strip (9) of resilient material held in place on the side of the body by a retaining strip (5) which can be integrally moulded with the body (1) or may be a separately formed component.

Abstract: A vehicle-mountable cargo transport apparatus configured for association with a motor vehicle so that the motor vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) up to about 10,000 lbs and may be capable of transporting a cargo up to about 3,500 lbs or more and a motor vehicle including a vehicle-mountable cargo transport apparatus are disclosed. The motor vehicle includes a chassis cab or cutaway chassis and the vehicle-mountable cargo transport apparatus. The vehicle-mountable cargo transport apparatus includes a cargo-carrying unit and an extensible spacer mechanism. The extensible spacer mechanism is configured for reversibly increasing a distance of the cargo-carrying unit with respect to the ground so as to accommodate at least one of receiving and delivering a cargo at a conventional loading dock.

Abstract: There is provided a plug (1) for repairing a sifting or filtering screen, the plug having at least one line of weakening (5) which can be ruptured whereby the plug has a plurality of possible plug sizes so that the plug is capable of plugging at least two different sizes of cell of the screen. Each possible plug size has a seal (2) extending around the complete periphery of the chosen plug size, in use the seal serving to engage and seal against the screen in order to plug a cell aligned with a damaged area of the screen.

Abstract: There is provided a plug for repairing a sifting or filtering screen, the plug comprising a body (1) of a first material supporting an area of a second material which is more resilient than the first material, in use the area of a second material serving as a seal (2) to engage and seal against the screen in order to plug a cell aligned with a damaged area of the screen. A second plug has a body (101) formed with holes (108) to receive securing members such as screws, the holes being positioned to enable the securing members (109) to pass into the material of the sifting or filtering screen in order releasably to secure the plug in a cell aligned with a damaged area of the sifting screen.

Abstract: An anti-pinch assembly is used for a closure panel movable between open and closed positions on a motor vehicle. A controller operably connected to the closure panel controls operation thereof. A position sensor connected to the controller indicates the position of the closure panel between the open and closed positions. A capacitive sensor mounted on the vehicle and connected to the controller provides an output signal to the controller indicative of the presence of a foreign object in the path of the closure panel. The controller varies the function of the capacitive sensor through a plurality of threshold levels as a function of the position of the closure panel as indicated by the position indicator. In a critical zone of travel with the closure panel nearing the closed position, the capacitive sensor can be utilized in either a contact mode or a non-contact mode or a combination of both.

Abstract: Anchoring systems include a panel having a surface and a channel recessed from the surface and a tracking plate having a spine connected with the panel in the channel. The anchoring systems further include receiving units for receiving a cargo anchoring mechanism. The tracking plate preferably further includes a face member connected with the spine member such that a portion of the spine member and the face member are spaced apart to define a cavity. The tracking plate is preferably adhered with the panel having the spine connected in the channel and the face member adhered with and coextensively overlying the inner surface of the panel. Further, the receiving units, preferably apertures of the tracking plate, can be aligned with a cavity formed between the face member and the spine member.
