  • Patent number: 10857961
    Abstract: A mounting system for a guard panel on a vehicle with cross members. The mounting system comprises a mounting rail having first and second ends. The mounting rail includes a clamping portion including a mounting platform, a mounting slot in the mounting platform along a length of the mounting rail between the first and second ends, and a panel portion. The mounting system includes a panel bracket coupled to the panel portion. The panel bracket receives at least one guard panel. The mounting system includes a clamping body coupled to the mounting platform. The clamping body is movable along the mounting slot of the mounting platform. The clamping body engages a first surface of a cross member and the mounting platform engages a second surface of the cross member so as to clamp the cross member between the clamping body and the mounting platform.

  • Patent number: 8950793
    Abstract: The device may have a plurality of upright supports where the supports may include a mounting plate with mounting openings, a plurality of vertical members that may be in non-welded communication with the extruded back mounting plate and a plurality of horizontal members where the vertical members provide strength and support to the supports. The horizontal under-run prevention beam may include mounting openings that correspond to the horizontal beam mounting openings and a removable reflective strip that correspond to reflective strip openings in the beam. The vertical and horizontal members may be stacked extruded rectangles of the desired widths and lengths.

  • Publication number: 20130248162
    Abstract: A cooler with an inner core created from a plurality of extruded plates is disclosed. The plates have a first side with rigid fins and an opposite side that is substantially flat. The extruded plates are stacked on top of each other to create cooling channels. The plates are then held within a container which has an input, an output and can be sealed to prevent leaks.
