Patent number: 11077895Abstract: Example portable trailer stands for supporting parked trailers are disclosed herein. Some example portable trailer stands disclosed herein comprise two telescopic posts supporting a generally horizontal beam. Some examples include spring-loaded retractable wheels for selectively installing and removing the trailer stand from underneath a trailer left parked on a driveway. After being positioned under the trailer, the posts extend to lift the beam solidly up against the underside of the trailer. To accommodate conditions where the driveway is not parallel to the trailer's underside, some example posts can be lengthened independently and have angular play that allows the beam to tilt. In some examples, the horizontal axle of the trailer stand wheels is perpendicular to the beam so that the trailer stand can be readily installed from either the front or side of the trailer. Some examples have a kingpin-receiving groove in the beam or have some other kingpin-receiving feature.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: RITE-HITE HOLDING CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron J. Wiegel, Donald Grant, Jason Dondlinger, Joseph J. Dibiase, Joseph Korman, Jr., Lucas I. Paruch, Ronald P. Snyder

Publication number: 20030145535Abstract: A bumper system for a loading dock includes an engagement member and a guide member mounted to the face of the dock. The guide member helps guide a vehicle toward the engagement member, which receives the primary impact of the vehicle backing into the dock. If the vehicle is excessively off to one side, the guide member of some embodiments may affect the operation of a dock leveler, vehicle restraint, dock seals, or a door associated with the loading dock. In some embodiments when the vehicle is off to one side the guide member may inhibit the vehicle from reaching the engagement member.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2002Publication date: August 7, 2003Inventors: Joseph J. DiBiase, Paul J. Maly, Walter J. Swietlik

Publication number: 20020148177Abstract: The present invention relates to a loading dock door seal for sealing the space between a loading dock door opening and a vehicle backing up to the opening and an elongated longitudinal pad member for use in the loading dock door seal. The elongated longitudinal pad member comprises a mounting face for mounting said pad member to a surface; a sealing face for sealingly engaging the rear edge of a vehicle which backs up to and abuts against the pad member; whereby the pad member is formed of a first compressible resilient material, having a first predetermined degree of flexibility and having at least one flexing zone therein, the at least one flexing zone permitting the forced movement of the sealing face relative to the mounting face and thus the surface, to accommodate the movement of a vehicle in abutting and sealing engagement with the pad member.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2001Publication date: October 17, 2002Inventor: Joseph J. DiBiase

Patent number: 6187437Abstract: The present invention discloses and claims a novel process for the formation of high denier as-spun and heat-treated multilobal filaments of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer. Preferred embodiments include process for the formation of as-spun and heat treated octalobal monofilaments of a few wholly aromatic polyesters and polyesteramides. The process involves (a) heating of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer to above its melting transition temperature; (b) passing said molten polymer through an extrusion chamber equipped with an extrusion capillary having a multilobal cross-section to form a multilobal filament; and (c) winding the filament at a suitable draw-down. The filaments so formed are of at least 50 denier per filament (dpf) and feature essentially uniform molecular orientation across their cross-section. In a final optional step, the filaments are heat treated in stages to form filaments exhibiting excellent tensile properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1998Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Celanese Acetate LLCInventors: M. Ishaq Haider, John Anthony Flint, Michael Jaffe, Joseph J. DiBiase, John Edward Cornetta

Preferred embodiments include process for the formation of heat treated filaments of a few wholly aromatic polyesters and polyesteramides. The process involves: (a) heating of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer to above its melting transition temperature; (b) passing said molten polymer through an extrusion chamber equipped with an extrusion capillary of an aspect ratio of greater than about 1 and less than about 15 to form a filament; (c) winding the filament on to a bobbin at a low tension and draw-down ratio of at least about 4; and (d) heat treating the filament directly on the bobbin at suitable temperature and pressure conditions for a sufficient period of time. The filaments so formed are of at least 50 denier per filament (dpf) and feature essentially uniform molecular orientation across the cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1998Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignee: Celanese Acetate LLCInventors: M.

Patent number: 5093062Abstract: Organometallic preceramic polymers are melt spun into fibers utilizing a spinning apparatus which directs the preceramic polymer from a stagnant melt pool of said polymer to a spinneret. The spinneret is one used for solvent spinning and, thus, has a shorter residence time during extrusion through the spinneret orifice than conventional melt spinning spinnerets.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1990Date of Patent: March 3, 1992Assignee: Hoechst Celanese Corp.Inventors: Martin H.
