  • Patent number: 11897530
    Abstract: A self-contained mechanical device is provided that is mountable to a lawn tractor or other similar powered unit, via a standard mounting system, such as a hitch-type mount, for movement of bulk material or heavy objects around a work site or storage facility. The device includes a casterable frame to which a manually or tiltable hopper is mounted. The device also includes a hinge system between the hopper and frame. A knuckle is provided as a connection point to facilitate storage in translation of the device from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position.

  • Patent number: 11597309
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for facilitating selective delivery of aggregate material in bulk from a back of a dump truck or other truck bed to one or more wheelbarrows in a controlled manner. The disclosed embodiments further provide a system that could be operated by a single individual, including the single individual that is then manually moving the wheelbarrow from the truck to the particular location of the delivery site where the aggregate material is to be finally dispensed. The disclosed systems provide a self-contained mechanical device that is comparatively-easily mountable to the back of a dump truck or other truck bed for use, and is electrically, or electric over hydraulically, powered through the electrical system of the vehicle in order to avoid any need for additional power requirements.

  • Publication number: 20210114642
    Abstract: A system and method are provided employing a self-contained mechanical device that is mountable to, for example, a lawn tractor or other similar powered unit, via a standard mounting system, such as a hitch-type mount, to facilitate movement of bulk material or heavy objects around a work site or storage facility. The disclosed embodiments provide a casterable frame and or platform system to which a manually or automatically tiltable platform or hopper may be mounted. Powered movement around a particular site may be facilitated by a small tractor, such as a lawn tractor. Manual unloading may be facilitated using a hinge system between the platform/hopper and frame. A knuckle may be provided as a connection point of the system, to control movement of the system and to facilitate storage of the system in translation of the system from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position.

  • Patent number: 10524110
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a device pairing system configured to pair and including a peripheral device (PD) and a central device (CD), and memory communicatively coupled to processor(s) and storing instructions that cause the system to perform when executed by processor(s): establishing a connection over a wireless communication channel between the devices; conducting, by the CD, a discovery of a characteristic value of the PD; determining an authentication determination prior to device pairing based on determination of a central characteristic value to arrive at one of a successful determination and an unsuccessful determination; utilizing the CD to send a pairing request to the PD to initiate pairing over the wireless communication channel based upon the characteristic discovery of the characteristic value of the PD; and, in response to the successful determination as the authentication determination, approving the pairing request with the PD and sending a pairing response to the CD.

  • Publication number: 20180215024
    Abstract: A nail driving assembly for driving a nail without bending over includes a tube that may be gripped. The tube has a length of at least 90 cm. Thus, the tube extends between a support surface and a user without having the user bend over. A striking unit is slidably positioned in the tube and the striking unit is selectively aligned with a nail in the support surface. The striking unit is selectively struck thereby facilitating the striking unit to drive the nail without having the user bend over.
