  • Publication number: 20190382224
    Abstract: A highway towable dock-lift trailer for use in loading and/or unloading trucks, rail cars, containers, etc., for example, in any location and across all industries and applications, and can include a tow bar that allows the trailer be towed to a desirable position or location. When the tow bar is removed from the trailer or repositioned relative to the frame, either a truck can back into position or the trailer lift can be positioned against the truck, etc., and the trailer lift is then ready to load and/or offload the truck. As an operator elevates the loading platform of the trailer, via hydraulic lifting means, for example, the lift can move up to truck height and hydraulically operated lifting arms can operate opposed automatic folding ramps, which simultaneously can open for load distribution and close for safety.

  • Patent number: 9404007
    Abstract: Aqueous wax dispersions useful as surface modifiers for paints, inks and coatings. More particularly, aqueous particulate wax dispersions useful as surface modifiers to provide improved properties in primers, paints, inks and other coating formulations. The dispersions are stable, substantially homogenous, have a high solids concentration at low viscosities, and comply with the applicable FDA regulations for use in food packaging applications.

  • Patent number: 4594452
    Abstract: The preparation of anhydrous, pure, crystalline N-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trialkylammonium salts is disclosed by a process entailing reaction of epichlorohydrin with a trimethylammonium salt in an organic solvent which is a solvent for the two reactants and a non-solvent for the reaction product.A fine crystalline, chemically pure, anhydrous N-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylamine hydrochloride is produced by a process that does not entail an aqueous medium or the use of gaseous trimethylamine. The process comprises reacting trimethylammonium chloride with epichlorohydrin in an organic solvent which is a solvent for either of the two reactants and a non-solvent for the reaction product. Though a number of organic solvents may be used, it was found that chloroform was particularly suited. The reaction proceeds readily at temperatures within the range of 0.degree. to 50.degree. C.
