  • Patent number: 9780541
    Abstract: A splice case alignment cutout is provided. The splice case alignment cutout may include a body having an interior surface and an outer surface. The body may be configured to have a length and a width, wherein the body is configured to releasably attach to one of a left side distal end or right side distal end of a back cover member. The splice case alignment cutout may further include an endplate seating channel spanning the length of the body along the interior surface of the body. The endplate seating channel may be configured to allow a rim of an endplate to seat into the interior surface of the frame. When the endplate is seated in the endplate seating channel and releasably attached to the back cover member, the endplate seating channel may be configured to align the endplate with respect to the back cover member.

  • Patent number: 9205938
    Abstract: A system and method for applying plastic strapping to bales of material. A strap track assembly comprises a frame, a track, and a flap assembly. The frame is frame sized and configured to permit a bale of material to pass therethrough. The track is coupled to and positioned along an inner surface of the frame, with the track sized and configured to house a length of strapping material therein. The flap assembly is operatively connected to a portion of track positioned along a lower portion of the frame, with the flap assembly including a first flap in selective contact with a second flap. The first flap may be constructed of a metallic material, and the second strap may be constructed of an elastomeric material such as rubber. A debris cover may be operatively connected to a front surface of the frame, with a portion of the debris cover positioned above at least a portion of the track so as to inhibit individual pieces of baled material from contacting the flap assembly and/or the track.

  • Publication number: 20040188663
    Abstract: The invention provides a modular fence system that includes a picket and a rail having upper and lower rail elements engagable together generally without fasteners. The lower rail member includes an opening having a tab extending therein. The opening is sized to allow the picket to be inserted therethrough allowing clearance for the tab. Upon assembly, the picket and the lower rail member move laterally relative to each other, allowing the tab to enter an opening formed in the picket side, thus holding the picket vertically. The upper rail member can be disposed over the picket through an opening in the upper rail member, so that engagement elements on the upper and lower rail members engage. The upper rail member opening is sized smaller than the lower rail member opening and holds the picket laterally in position, keeping the picket engaged with the tab inserted therein.
