  • Patent number: 6715980
    Abstract: A container for storing bulk material including a base wall, first and second end walls and a pair of sidewalls for forming an opened top enclosure. The container is transportable and tiltable between a generally upright storage position and a tilted dumping position either manually or through the use of a conventional forklift truck. The base and sidewalls define respectively first and second abutment walls both recessing inwardly and being formed integrally with the remainder of the container. The lifting tines of the forklift truck are adapted to contact the first abutment walls for supporting the container in its generally upright position. The sidewalls also define a recessed section allowing the container to pivot about a pivot location located generally about the center of mass of the container between the upright position and the tilted position wherein the lifting tines abuttingly contact the second abutment walls.

  • Patent number: 5516349
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dust collector that is essentially modular in structure, thereby making it easy to transport, position and assemble by the user himself or herself. This dust collector includes one or more filter modules, a fan module operatively connectable to one end of the filter module(s), an end plate for closing the opposite end of the filter module(s), and optionally a silencer module intercalatable between the fan module and the filter module(s) to reduce the noise of the fan. In use, the dust collector can be easily upgraded whenever required by merely changing the motor, fan wheel and inlet of the fan module and/or adding one or more filter module in order to increase the filtering surface area.
