Abstract: A mesh to flexible screen frame laminator includes a first table with a horizontal surface and an alignment fence, a second table that is lower than the first table and a first pair of selectively driven heater rollers which are shiftable between a raised position and a lowered position relative to the first table. A cradle is located adjacent the first table and above the second table and at least a portion of the cradle is shiftable between a raised position and a lowered position, the raised position being substantially coplanar with the first table. A second pair of selectively driven heater rollers is shiftable between a raised position and a lowered position relative to the second table and is oriented transversely to the first pair of heater rollers. A third table is located adjacent the second table and at a height substantially coplanar with the second table.

Abstract: A flexible screen frame processor including a loading position that presents loading screen frame supports at which a partially formed flexible screen frame is supportable by an upper perimeter of the partially formed flexible screen frame and an end stripping position including at least one polymer coating stripper. A following welding position includes a welder and screen frame supports that support ends of the screen frame coaxially aligned. A post welding cleaning position includes weld spatter and flash cleaners. An unloading position includes unloading screen frame supports at which a welded and post-weld cleaned flexible screen frame is supportable by an upper perimeter of the welded flexible screen frame.

Abstract: A rolled material dispenser; including a roll supporting structure that supports a plurality of rolls of material, each roll of material having a width and a long axis, the roll supporting structure supporting the rolls of material with the long axes parallel and with a free end of the rolled material extending downwardly from each of the of rolls. The dispenser includes a pinch roller assembly located beneath the roll supporting structure. The pinch roller assembly is movable in a direction perpendicular to the long axes of the rolls of material and the pinch rollers have a second long axis oriented parallel to the first long axis. A conveyor is positioned below the pinch roller assembly and a material cutter assembly facilitates cutting the rolled material.

Abstract: A digging system includes a machine having a machine frame, and an implement assembly mounted to the machine frame. The implement assembly includes an elongate boom and a trenching mechanism having a plurality of drawing cutters coupled with an endless drive chain movable about a drive system mounted to an elongate boom. The implement assembly further includes an undercutting mechanism having first and second rotating cutters projecting in opposite axial directions from the distal boom end. The implement assembly defines a compound projection profile in a plane which includes first and second axes of rotation of a drive wheel and guide wheel of the drive system. The compound projection profile includes a relatively narrow proximal stem segment corresponding to the trenching mechanism and a relatively broad distal footing segment corresponding to the undercutting mechanism.

Abstract: A truck skirting is provided for a trailer for use in tractor-trailer combinations. Skirting elements depend from both trailer sides. Braces are provided extending from the skirting elements to the trailer underside. Further, each skirting element has a longitudinal bracing bar.
