  • Publication number: 20170100905
    Abstract: A heavy duty mobile metal scrap compactor, shear and baler machine includes a frame having a front end, an intermediate section and a rear end. A power, hydraulic and control station is mounted on the rear end of the frame. A compactor/baler station is mounted on the intermediate section of the frame. A guillotine shear station is mounted on the front end of the frame. At least three axels with twelve wheels are mounted under the frame at the rear end. Vertically adjustable feet are mounted under the frame at the intermediate section and front end. A booster trailer is removably mountable to the rear end of the frame to spread some of the machine's weight onto the booster when moving the machine down a highway. A gooseneck hitch is removably mountable to the front end of the frame adapted to be hooked up to a fifth wheel of a tractor vehicle to move the machine around to a desired parking position.

  • Patent number: 8621901
    Abstract: A lock system is provided having a lock housing and a lock barrel, a keeper shoulder, at least one full positioner shoulder, and a positioner shoulder having a U-shaped channel. A lock plug having a keyway and tumblers is received in the barrel for rotation between locked and unlocked positions. The tumblers include a key tumbler, a positioner tumbler and a keeper tumbler. The lock plug is rotatable between a first rotary position and a second rotary position. A control key is received into the keyway to retract the lock tumbler and partially retract the keeper tumbler. Removal of the lock plug from the lock barrel requires rotation of the lock plug from the first rotary position to the second rotary position and the presence of the control key within the lock plug when in the second rotary position.

  • Publication number: 20050262700
    Abstract: A blade stabilizer device for a heavy-duty material handling demolition tool for shearing and crushing scrap material which includes a lower jaw connected to the boom structure of a hydraulic system of an excavator has an upper jaw pivotally connected to and closable upon the lower jaw at a pivot point. The blade stabilizing device consists of a wear guide pad supported by the lower jaw adjacent the pivot point slidably engaging the movable upper jaw to keep the upper jaw in close engagement with the lower jaw. The wear guide pad is mounted behind the pivot point. A second wear guide pad may be mounted in front of the pivot point on the opposite side of the upper jaw to cross-brace the upper jaw.

  • Publication number: 20050206172
    Abstract: A rotary latch and related method include a rigid U-shaped housing defined by a base and upstanding sidewalls having laterally aligned strike notches to selectively receive a lock strike therein. First and second sets of mounting apertures extend laterally through the sidewalls of the housing at locations spaced from the strike notches, and receive first and second retainers therein to rotatably mount a latch member and a release member within the housing. The pivot axes of the mounting apertures are disposed in a mutually parallel relationship, and are laterally aligned on the sidewalls to facilitate mounting the rotary latch in both left and right hand latch locations.
