  • Publication number: 20250178485
    Abstract: A ramp assembly for guiding an electrical conductor system for a mobile machine onto a conductive rail assembly. The ramp assembly may include an ingress ramp assembly with a variable width, located at one end of the conductive rail assembly, and extend to a height above the conductive rail assembly, where a transition section guides the electrical conductor system onto the conductive rail assembly. The ramp assembly may also include an egress ramp for removing the electrical conductor system from the conductive rail assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070209809
    Abstract: A fire extinguisher unit that can be grasped and operated with a single hand. The unit includes a single-hand fire extinguisher and a holder for releasably supporting the fire extinguisher on a vertical surface. The fire extinguisher has a cylindrical canister housing, a flexible internal pouch containing fire suppressant, means for externally pressurizing the pouch, a valve for regulating the flow of fire suppressant from said pouch, and a spray head connected to the valve for actuating the valve between open and closed positions and for directing the flow of fire suppressant from said pouch. The holder has an elongate base, means for mounting the elongate base to a vertical surface, and a clamp fixed to each end of said elongate base.
