  • Publication number: 20230311641
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a prime mover and a fuel system. The fuel system includes a tank, a regulator, a first shutoff valve, and a second shutoff valve. The tank is configured to provide a supply flow of fuel. The regulator is controllable to provide a regulated flow of fuel to the prime mover by modulating the supply flow of fuel. The first shutoff valve is positioned to facilitate selectively disengaging the prime mover from the fuel system. The second shutoff valve is positioned to facilitate selectively blocking the supply flow of fuel provided by the tank.

  • Patent number: 11724749
    Abstract: A fender for a vehicle includes a first set of an inner member and an outer member at a first position, and a second set of the inner member and the outer member at a second position that is longitudinally offset from the first position. The fender also includes a fabric disposed between the inner member and the outer member of the first set at a first end and the inner member and the outer member of the second set at a second end. The fabric extends longitudinally between the first set and the second set.

  • Patent number: 11027606
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, a tank configured to provide a supply flow of natural gas, a valve controllable to provide a regulated flow of natural gas to the engine by modulating the supply flow of natural gas, a first conduit extending between the tank and the valve such that the supply flow of natural gas is received by the valve from the tank, and a second conduit extending between the valve and the engine such that the regulated flow of natural gas is provided from the valve to the engine. The regulated flow of natural gas is not diverted from the second conduit at any point along a length of the second conduit.

  • Publication number: 20170297425
    Abstract: A natural gas system for a vehicle includes a fuel pod, a conduit defining a flow path, a fuel control module, and an accumulator. The fuel pod includes a fuel tank configured to store natural gas. The conduit includes a first end coupled to the fuel pod and a second end configured to be coupled to an engine. The fuel control module is disposed along the flow path and configured to regulate a flow of natural gas to the engine. The accumulator is disposed along the flow path downstream of the fuel control module. The accumulator is configured to buffer variations in the flow of natural gas such that the engine receives a consistent flow of natural gas.

  • Patent number: 8646965
    Abstract: A mixing fin assembly adapted to mix and guide materials in a rotatable mixing drum of a type used in a transit concrete mixing vehicle includes a spiral mixing fin designed to extend transversely into the drum constructed of a lightweight, moldable polymeric material which is flexible and resistant to abrasion, the mixing fin includes a plurality of conjoined sections that are fit together, preferably utilizing fin locking tabs and mating fin locking sockets. A preferred way of mounting the mixing fin into mixing drums uses a spiral fin mount rail track adapted to be fixed to the interior surface of the mixing drum. A locking tab locks the upper part of the rail track into the fin structure.
