Patent number: 11040591Abstract: A wheeled work vehicle (1) comprises a forward chassis part (4) and a rearward chassis part (5) pivotally connected about a substantially vertically extending primary pivot axis (7) for steering thereof. A pair of forward ground engaging wheels (29) are carried on a forward suspension unit (32), and a pair of rearward ground engaging wheels (30) are carried on a rearward suspension unit (33). The forward suspension unit (32) is pivotally connected to the forward chassis part (4) by a pair of main forward transverse pivot shafts (63) pivotally coupled to the forward chassis part (4) by corresponding main forward pivot mountings (65). The main forward transverse pivot shafts (63) defines a main forward transverse pivot axis (59) about which the forward suspension unit (32) is pivotal relative to the forward chassis part (4).Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2016Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: MULTIHOG R&D LIMITEDInventors: James McAdam, Gerard McHugh, Anthony Duff, Dallan McHugh, Daniel McElchar, Samuel Hampshire

Patent number: 10953739Abstract: A work vehicle (1) comprising a forward part (3) and a rearward part (7) pivotally coupled about a main vertical pivot axis (10) for steering thereof. A power take-off shaft (29) is located adjacent a forward end (31) of the forward part (3) and is mechanically driven from a main output drive shaft (15) of an engine (14) located in the rearward part (7). A step-up gearbox (20) steps up the speed from the main output drive shaft (15) onto first and second output shafts (23, 24) for driving first and second hydraulic pumps (27, 28) which provide hydraulic supplies for motive power and for operating attachments attached to the forward end (31) of the forward part (3). A step-down gearbox (30) receives drive directly from the main output drive shaft (15) of the engine (14) and produces a stepped-down drive on an output shaft (33) of the step-down gearbox (30) with a gear ratio of 2:1.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2016Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: MULTIHOG R&D LIMITEDInventors: James Mcadam, Gerard Mchugh, Anthony Duff, Dallan Mchugh, Daniel Mcelchar, Samuel Hampshire

Publication number: 20190314869Abstract: Apparatus on a driver's cab roof mounts a hose terminating in a nozzle of a vacuum system. The apparatus includes a proximal carrier arm pivotally mounted on the cab roof about a vertically extending main pivot axis by a slewing mechanism. A distal carrier arm is pivotally coupled to the proximal carrier arm about a transversely extending horizontal first pivot axis. A first ram pivots the distal carrier arm upwardly and downwardly relative to the proximal carrier arm. The distal carrier arm is extendable between its proximal end and its distal end by a second ram. By pivoting the proximal carrier arm by the slewing mechanism, the nozzle is urged from one side of the vehicle to the other. By pivoting the distal carrier arm upwardly relative to the proximal carrier arm, and simultaneously extending the distal carrier arm, the reach of the nozzle is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2017Publication date: October 17, 2019Applicant: MULTIHOG R&D LIMITEDInventors: James MCADAM, Samuel HAMPSHIRE, Daniel MCELCHAR, Gerard MCHUGH

Patent number: 10436561Abstract: A fuse mechanism for e.g. a pyrotechnic grenade in which a spring loaded striker lever (31) is blocked via a cammed surface (22) of a safety lever (21) comprising a handle. (25). Release of the handle (25) enables deployment of the fuse assembly. Spring-loaded striker lever (31) is urged upwards by the force of torsion spring (38). Contact between the free end (34) of the striker lever (31) exerts a rotational force on cammed portion (22). The safety lever (21) rotates away from the body of the munition (20). Rapid upward movement of the striker lever (31) is prevented at this stage by contact of the free end (34) with the cammed portion (22). Further rotation of the safety lever (21) occurs until point where the cammed portion (22) is no longer in contact with the striker lever.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: 3RD LIGHT LIMITEDInventors: James Rose, John Perriam, James McAdam

Publication number: 20190084844Abstract: There is disclosed a process and apparatus for treating urine. Urine is contained in a reservoir and contacted with a liquid side of a separation membrane which also has a gas side. A sweep gas flow is generated on the gas side of the separation membrane. Water in the urine is conducted from the liquid side to the gas flow side of the separation membrane, the separation membrane substantially preventing the passage of other components of urine from the liquid side to the gas flow side of the separation membrane. The water conducted to the gas flow side of the separation membrane is entrained in the sweep gas flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2017Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventor: Ewan James MCADAM
