  • Patent number: 4911395
    Abstract: A molded plastic honeycomb block formed by a plurality of horizontal and vertical intersecting molded plastic walls define hollow rectangular cavities. Trim cylinder guide holes are provided within horizontal walls within a base portion to opposite sides thereof and sized to slidably receive trim cylinder rods of paired trim cylinders fixed to the motor mounting bracket on the transom of the boat and extending upwardly and outwardly of the transom at oblique, acute angles to the plane of the transom. The molded resilient plastic honeycomb block includes a narrow central projecting drive unit support portion terminating in a flat horizontal face which abuts the outboard motor propeller drive unit causing the outboard motor to be resiliently maintained in upwardly oblique overlying position with respect to the transom such that the block absorbs shocks otherwise transmitted during boat transfer on a trailer over rough ground being directed to the outboard motor and reducing torsional stress on the boat transom.

  • Patent number: 4343515
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for rotating a body, such as the boom of a roadheader. The device comprises a pivotally mounted yoke having in it a slot in which is slidably mounted a member which is rotatably and eccentrically attached to the body, and a pair of opposed pivotally mounted rams each of which is rotatably attached to the yoke, the rams being operated out of phase such that they cause the yoke to pivot about its mounting, the pivotal movement being translated into a rotation of the body by movement of the member in the slot. Preferably the member is moved to and fro in the slot by means of a third ram mounted on the yoke.
