  • Apparatus for transporting vehicles
    Patent number: 10035530
    Abstract: An improved dolly particularly suited for the secure transport of disabled vehicles in a repair shop is described. Specifically, the locations of both the points of contact with the vehicle and the points of contact with the ground may be configured independently from one another. This configurability allows the dolly to contact the vehicle in the most optimally secure locations, while also contacting the floor in the most convenient configuration so as to accommodate obstructions and irregularities in the floor.

  • Pivot Hood Assembly
    Publication number: 20080009235
    Abstract: A pivot hood assembly (12) comprises a pair of identical hood pieces (14, 16) comprising a shell (20, 22) and a supporting frame assembly (24, 26). Each hood piece is attachable to a ventilation shaft (18) by an attachment framework (32) to which the hood pieces are pivotably attached. The hood pieces pivot between a closed position where inner edges (52) of each hood piece contact each other, and an open position where the inner edges (52) are spaced from each other to form an opening where the ventilation shaft is accessible.
