  • Patent number: 12516753
    Abstract: A modular conduit support assembly is formed from a single sheet of generally rigid material and includes a main body member defining a series of holes for receiving conduit, a pair of feet that are attachable to the bottom edge of the main body member, and a pair of stakes for securing the feet to the ground. The main body member, feet and stakes are formed from a single sheet of material, and the holes, feet and stakes are partially cut into the sheet of material so that the conduit support assembly may be shipped to a job site in a generally flat, planar configuration. The interior of the holes, the feet and stakes may then be easily detached from the main body member at the construction job site for assembly and use. This arrangement allows efficient shipment of multiple conduit support assemblies in a stacked configuration.

  • Publication number: 20070068711
    Abstract: A zero turning radius mower has a dual hydrostatic pump with right and left pump arms. A linkage between the pump arms and a pair of control levers destrokes both sides of the pump simultaneously if engine speed drops below a specified value. The linkage allows each pump arm to have a first stroke range if the engine powering the pump is above the specified value, and a second smaller stroke range if the engine powering the pump is below the specified value.

  • Patent number: 6015250
    Abstract: A platform trailer includes a load carrying main frame and an elongated loading deck supported by the main frame and defining a generally planar surface upon which cargo may be loaded. An elongated side rail is attached to at least one of the loading deck and the main frame so that the side rail is disposed along a longitudinal edge of the trailer. The side rail defines an upwardly opening channel extending along the longitudinal edge. The channel has a planar central portion substantially parallel to a plane defined by an upper horizontal surface of the loading deck and opposing side portions extending vertically upward from the central portion.

  • Patent number: 5888040
    Abstract: An improved cargo restraint attachment assembly for use with a platform trailer includes a body having an interior side and an exterior side opposite thereto. A first section is adjacent to the interior side and configured to attach the body to a loading deck of the platform trailer so that the body extends outwardly from and along at least a portion of a longitudinal edge of the loading deck. A second section is configured to selectively secure the cargo restraint device at a desired position with respect to the longitudinal edge. The assembly may secure at least one cargo restraint device at an angle with respect to a horizontal plane to minimize bending moment on the cargo restraint device from force applied thereto by engagement with a load on a loading deck of the platform trailer.
