Publication number: 20220332253Abstract: A folding or collapsible step platform and ladder mounts onto the frame of a semi-truck adjacent the engine and front wheel of the truck. The step platform is pivotally mounted to a base which mounts to the frame. A ladder is pivotally mounted to the end of the step platform opposite the base. The base elevates the step platform so that, when the step platform is deployed and rotated to a horizontal position, the step platform crosses over the wheel without interference with the wheel. When in that horizontal position the length of the step platform positions the outboard end of the step platform to an outside of the wheel so that, when the ladder is pivoted downwardly from the outboard end of the step platform and the step platform is horizontal, the ladder hangs so as to cross downwardly over the outside of the wheel ready for use.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventor: Mark Mason MCLEOD

Publication number: 20210309403Abstract: A method for performing a task in registration with a discrete seal in at least one material is described herein. The method involves simultaneously forming a discrete seal and a fiducial/eye mark in the at least one material. The method includes providing a detection device; providing a unit operation mechanism; and performing an operation on the material(s) in registration with the discrete seal. The task performed in registration with the discrete seal is based upon the location of the eye mark that was simultaneously formed with the discrete seal. A method of making flexible containers using cutting to form the outer periphery of the packages is described herein. Also described herein are flexible containers and container blanks made by such a method.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: Joseph Craig Lester, Michael Paul Hausfeld, Mark Mason Hargett, Marc Richard Bourgeois, Benjamin Jacob Clare
