  • Publication number: 20240109759
    Abstract: A lift assembly including a lifting structure, a lifting arm, a yoke structure fixed to the lifting structure, a pin pivotally coupling the lifting arm with the yoke structure, and an integrated anti-rotational assembly associated with both the yoke structure and the pin. The lifting structure can actuate relative to the ground between a lowered position and a raised position. The lifting arm is configured to actuate with the lifting structure between the lowered position and the raised position. The integrated anti-rotational assembly can inhibit rotation of the pin relative to the yoke structure about the longitudinal axis of the pin.

  • Patent number: 10799873
    Abstract: A mill includes a generally vertical, rotatable shaft having at least one set of cutter blades driven thereby and a fan assembly mounted on the shaft below the cutter blades in position to receive output therefrom. The fan assembly includes a fan disc secured to the shaft and rotatable therewith. A plurality of fan blades is secured to the fan disc in a generally radial orientation. A terminal portion of the mill includes a gradually, radially expanding outer wall configured in a volute form. The expanded outer wall decreases wear and increases efficiency of discharge and airflow through the mill.

  • Patent number: 8907216
    Abstract: A cable port protection apparatus includes a frame that is configured to be secured to a housing of an electronic device, and a cable retention mechanism attached to the frame that is configured to prevent unintentional removal of a cable from a cable port of the electronic device. The cable retention mechanism includes a pair of spaced-apart arms extending outwardly from the frame to define a cable receiving space. A gate is operably associated with the spaced-apart arms and is movable by a user between open and closed positions. When in an open position, a cable can be inserted by a user through the cable receiving space and connected to a cable port. When in a closed position, the cable is prevented by the gate from becoming disconnected from the cable port and from exerting potentially damaging forces on the cable port.

  • Publication number: 20070114746
    Abstract: An adjustable suspension member of a vehicle suspension system is adapted for supporting a frame of vehicle. The suspension member interconnects first and second components of the vehicle, and enables movement of the first component relative to the second component when the vehicle is in motion. The suspension member includes an elongated swivel link assembly having first and second opposite ends. The first end is operatively connected to the first component of the vehicle, and the second end is operatively connected to the second component of the vehicle. The link assembly swivels about a longitudinal axis defined by the suspension member. The swivel range is greater than 45 degrees.
