  • Publication number: 20230407586
    Abstract: A containment plow adapted to be mounted to a vehicle such as a skid steer, a wheeled loader, or a tractor, comprises a moldboard frame, a moldboard mounted to the moldboard frame, a moldboard cutting edge mounted to a lower edge of the moldboard and comprising a plurality of cutting edge segments, each moldboard cutting edge segment mounted so as to have two rotational degrees of freedom movement relative to the moldboard and one translational degree of freedom movement relative to the moldboard, and a moldboard extension and wing assembly connected to the moldboard frame adjacent each end of the moldboard.

  • Publication number: 20230399803
    Abstract: A containment plow adapted to be mounted to a vehicle such as a skid steer, a wheeled loader, or a tractor comprises a moldboard frame, a moldboard mounted to the moldboard frame, a wing pivotally connected to the moldboard frame adjacent each end of the moldboard, a moldboard cutting edge mounted to a lower edge of the moldboard and comprising a plurality of cutting edge segments, and a wing cutting edge mounted to a lower edge of each wing. Each moldboard cutting edge segment is mounted so as to have two rotational degrees of freedom movement relative to the moldboard and one translational degree of freedom movement relative to the moldboard. Each wing cutting edge is mounted so as to have two rotational degrees of freedom movement relative to the wing.

  • Patent number: 4047036
    Abstract: A radiation gauge for measuring the profile of a moving strip, e.g. strip issuing from a strip rolling mill, comprises two X-ray tubes arranged on one side of the strip. The X-ray tubes are connected in push-pull configuration, for pulsing in alternation, and they each produce a respective curtain of radiation which intersects the strip in a respective straight line extending across the width of the strip, perpendicular to its direction of travel: these two straight lines are aligned with each other and overlap slightly in the center of the strip. A linear array of radiation detectors is disposed on the other side of the strip, so as to receive the radiation which passes through the strip. Signal processing circuitry processes the detector output signals to display the deviation of the thickness profile of the strip from a predetermined thickness profile.
