Patent number: 11919729Abstract: An unloader for a shipping container includes a supporter having a frame structure and a pallet base supported by the frame structure and configured to receive the pallet and support the shipping container in an elevated position. A gate moving mechanism is supported by the pallet base and configured to engage the moveable gate assembly when the full shipping container is positioned onto the pallet base. A material director has a first end located beneath the pallet base subjacent of the gate moving mechanism. The material director extends downwardly from the pallet base and terminates at a second end opposite the first end. Bulk material is dispensed from the shipping container into the first end and is discharged from the second end of the material director. Shipping containers may be positioned onto and removed from the pallet base without disassembly of the unloader.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: SANDBOX ENTERPRISES, LLCInventors: C. John Allegretti, Kevin Sylvester Corrigan, Margarito Guerrero, Felix Guerrero

Patent number: 11352292Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for preparing a coated optical article including providing a non-conductive substrate; forming a conductive coating layer over the substrate; electrodepositing a first electrodepositable coating composition over the conductive coating layer to form a first electrodeposited inorganic coating layer; and electrodepositing a second electrodepositable coating composition over the first electrodeposited coating layer to form a second electrodeposited inorganic coating layer thereover, thereby forming a multi-layer antireflective inorganic coating over the conductive coating layer. Each of the first electrodepositable coating composition and the second electrodepositable coating composition is different one from the other, and each includes a sol prepared from a composition of a metal oxide precursor and protic acid such that each coating composition is hydrolyzed. Coated optical articles are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Nadine Kraut, Kevin Sylvester, Nathan Silvernail, Brian C. Okerberg, Charles R. Hickenboth

Publication number: 20220041369Abstract: A material loading assembly is connected to a top of a container body having an opening for loading the container. A door is coupled to the top to cover the opening. An operating mechanism includes an extension member connected to the door and has a free end extending past an edge of the door. The extension member has an engagement pin formed on the free end. A latch mechanism attached at an edge of the shipping container has a pin seat formed therein and a locking member positionable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member retains the engagement pin in the pin seat for locking the door in a closed position. The locking member releases the engagement from the pin seat for unlocking the door in the closed position, so the door is free move from the closed position to an open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2020Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: SANDBOX LOGISTICS, LLCInventor: Kevin Sylvester CORRIGAN
