Publication number: 20220072736Abstract: A concrete mixer vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a drum assembly coupled to the chassis, and a module coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the drum assembly. The module includes a prime mover, a cooling system, and a hood. The hood has a first end positioned proximate the drum assembly, an opposing second end positioned proximate a rear end of the chassis, and a top surface. The hood defines an internal cavity within which the prime mover and the cooling system are disposed. The first end defines an inlet airflow cavity. The inlet airflow cavity has a bottom surface and an air inlet positioned between the top surface and the bottom surface. The air inlet connects the inlet airflow cavity to the internal cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Greg Steffens, Jesse Steinke, Yanming Hou, Neil Bjornstad, Jeremy Andringa, Eric Wall, Connor Hietpas, Jesse Gander, Doug Schmidt, Dale Fasana, Jon Zeamer, Robert Wesley Holliday

Patent number: 11186010Abstract: A concrete mixer vehicle comprises a chassis, an engine, a cab, a drum assembly, a front roller pedestal, a transmission mounting bracket assembly, and a rear pedestal. The chassis has a frame. The drum assembly includes a mixing drum, a drum driver, and a hopper assembly. The front roller pedestal is configured to support a front end of the mixing drum. The front roller pedestal includes a support member configured to provide support to the front roller pedestal in a longitudinal direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the frame. The rear pedestal is configured to support a rear end of the mixing drum. The rear pedestal includes a first bar-pin member and a second bar-pin member configured to couple the rear pedestal in a first installation position or a second installation position based on a length of the mixing drum.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Jeremy Andringa, Eric Wall, Doug Schmidt, Dale Fasana, Jon Zeamer

Patent number: 7450686Abstract: A contaminant detection machine (1) including a conveyor (3) which causes an object under inspection (79) to pass through a plane (48) of emitted x-ray radiation. The plane is generated by an x-ray tube (55) that emits a lateral beam, thereby permitting the distance (88) between the x-ray tube and the object under inspection to be reduced. A photo diode arch mounting assembly (104) is placed above the object under inspection and is mated to a collimator assembly (125) that also serves as the mounting bracket for the x-ray generation assembly (38), thereby preserving optical alignment between the photo diode detector array (28) and the emitted x-ray plane (48). The detector array (28) scans the object under inspection (79) so as to produce a continuous series of discrete lines, each line being analyzed by an image processing unit (116) to determine the presence or absence of a contaminant.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2005Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Thermofisher ScientificInventors: Teresa Ainsworth, Yuriy Bro, Frederick Cash, Gary Dickinson, Scott Eggerth, Tom Erb, Jeffrey Ferguson, David Gessner, Bruce Herbes, Kevin Johnson, Sergey Moskalenko, Lorna Lockman, Doug Schmidt
