  • Patent number: 11459011
    Abstract: A snow ski assembly for a snow vehicle includes a ski body, a ski spindle, a ski stopper and a ski keel pressure adjuster. The ski body has an upper surface with a ski spindle attachment and a bottom surface with a keel. The ski spindle has a lower end pivotally connected to the ski spindle attachment of the ski body about a pivot axis. The ski stopper is disposed between the upper surface of the ski body and the lower end of the ski spindle. The ski keel pressure adjuster includes at least one adjustment member and at least one user input. The at least one adjustment member is movably disposed with respect to the ski body between a first position in which the ski stopper has a first compression characteristic and a second position in which the ski stopper has a second compression characteristic. The at least one user input is operatively coupled to the at least one adjustment member to move the at least one adjustment member in response to operation of the at least one user input.

  • Patent number: 10882147
    Abstract: Examples described herein include an assembly. The assembly may be a heatsink assembly or some other cooling assembly (for example, a liquid cooling assembly). The heatsink or cooling assembly may include a heatsink or some other cooling means, such as a liquid cooling device. The heatsink or cooling assembly may include a base. The heatsink itself may connect to a base or the bottom of the heatsink may form the base. The base may interface or connect to a bolster plate. The base may interface or connect to a bolster plate via apertures in the base and fasteners included on the base and the bolster plate. The heatsink or cooling assembly may include one or more apertures to accept one or more guide pins and/or retention pins on the bolster plate. The base may include retention mechanisms positioned over the apertures to attach to retention pins on the bolster plate. The retention pins may be the guide pins with retention features.

  • Patent number: 8118524
    Abstract: A centerline restraint includes a conventional center guide/restraint and a pair of a overrideable guide/restraint at either end. Each overrideable guide/restraint is lockable into one of three rotational positions about a common axis: a retracted position, an erect position and an overridden position. The overrideable guide/restraint has a yoke-shaped body with a pair of legs rotatably mounted on an axle which, in turn, is mounted on a base of the centerline restraint. Lift handles, each operatively connected to a spring-loaded plunger are used to adjust the overrideable guide/restraint between the three positions. A head of the spring-loaded plunger abuts one or more stops formed on the legs of the overrideable guide/restraint to lock the overrideable guide/restraint in various predetermined positions. Lift handles operatively connected to the plungers, when operated, cause the overrideable guide/restraint to switch between positions.

  • Patent number: 7665938
    Abstract: An air cargo device for facilitating the movement and retention of unit load devices on an air cargo deck includes a base member on which are mounted a caster roller, a guide and a restraint. The guide and the restraint are coaxially mounted and together occupy one of three positions: both the guide and restraint being recessed; the guide raised with the restraint recessed, and both the guide and restraint being raised. One end of the base member is provided with retractable tension studs suitable for mating with a portion of a seat track, while the opposite end of the base member is provided with shoulder bolts for mating with a lock tray. This permits the device to bridge between the two types of cargo floor fixtures.

  • Publication number: 20060026915
    Abstract: A universal access port includes a specific size opening that is formed through a wall of a conditioning enclosure and located at a specific distance from a floor or mounting surface. The opening is preferably rectangular in shape, but other shapes may also be used. When not in use, the universal access port is covered with a sealing panel. Insertable devices may be efficiently inserted and removed from the universal access port. A perimeter of the insertable device is sized to be sealable inserted into the universal access port. Each insertable device preferably seals with an exterior and interior wall of the conditioning enclosure. Some insertable devices include fixturing devices, windows, manual manipulation devices, junction devices, hinged access doors, wire access devices, temperature modifying devices or air circulation devices.
