  • Patent number: 11560298
    Abstract: Engine installation systems and related methods. An engine installation system includes an adapter cradle and a transport dolly. The adapter cradle is configured to support the engine, and the transport dolly is configured to be selectively and operatively coupled to the adapter cradle to support the adapter cradle to facilitate transporting the adapter cradle and the engine across a ground surface. The adapter cradle is configured to be selectively coupled to each of the transport dolly and the vehicle. The adapter cradle is configured to pivot relative to the transport dolly or relative to the vehicle to transition between a transport configuration and an upright configuration. In examples, methods of installing an engine within an engine bay of a vehicle include positioning the engine beneath the engine bay, pivoting the engine relative to the vehicle, and lifting the engine into the engine bay.

  • Publication number: 20220192087
    Abstract: An agricultural apparatus including an agricultural vehicle and a trailed mowing apparatus. The agricultural vehicle includes a three point hitch and the trailed mowing apparatus includes a chassis adapted to be mounted on the three point hitch, the chassis including at least one work unit suitable for cutting a standing crop and a first sensor for generating signals indicative of an angle of inclination of the at least one work unit. The agricultural apparatus further has an electronic control unit and a user terminal. The electronic control unit receives the signals indicative of the angle of inclination of the at least one work unit and provides an indication of a cutting height of the at least one work unit via the user terminal. The electronic control unit allows an operator to automatically or semi automatically control the cutting height of the at least one work unit.

  • Publication number: 20080061017
    Abstract: A holder (1) for securing detachable toothbrush heads for electric toothbrushes, said toothbrush head having a movable disc or disc part supported by a shaft, and which is provided with bristles protruding substantially parallel to a first axis, said first axis extending substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the disc or disc part. The holder (1) is provided with a plurality of recesses (7), each of said recesses being adapted to accommodate in use at least the end of the toothbrush head supporting the disc or the disc part with bristles. Each recess has first supporting surfaces (8) to support in use the rim of the disc or disc part in the radial direction perpendicularly to said first axis, and second supporting surfaces (9) for supporting in use the rear side of the disc or the disc part in the axial direction parallel to said first axis.

  • Patent number: 6591431
    Abstract: A device to dispense active substances into rinse water, especially in toilet bowls, with a container for the active substance, wherein the container has an opening that connects with an essentially plate-shaped distributor, and with a device to hold the distributor on or close to the toilet bowl wall. The distributor consists of two essentially plate-shaped elements. There are intersecting grooves, channels or the like between the plate-shaped elements, and a first group of grooves runs outward from the distributor while the other second group of grooves only runs within the distributor.

  • Patent number: 5285877
    Abstract: Impact damper for motor vehicles, the impact damper having two tubes which can be pushed one inside the other, the inner tube consisting of a first and second fluid chamber and a gas chamber separated from the first fluid chamber by a separating piston. A third fluid chamber, separated from the second fluid chamber by a work piston can extend the tubes relative to one another by changing the pressure within the fluid chambers.

  • Patent number: 5129484
    Abstract: A traveling device for raising or lowering persons or objects for theater stages or the like has a two-part traveling carriage. The two traveling carriage parts (1 and 2) are connected by lattice girders 3 to form one unit. Elevating platforms 4 of different sizes can be suspended on the cable winches of the traveling carriage parts. The winch frames 9 are telescopic 10. The lowering device is consequently variable in terms of the size of its elevating platform and the lifting height. The modular concept permits easy transportation in the form of individual parts and simple set-up of the lowering device.
