Patent number: 7174826Abstract: A crowd control mechanism for a power shovel includes an extendible dipper handle having an extended position and a retracted position. A double acting hydraulic cylinder having a an extendible ram has one of the cylinder and the ram fixed to the dipper handle and the other of the cylinder and the ram is stationary relative to the dipper handle. At least one of the cylinder and the ram have at least one of a blind end port and a rod end port, and at least one of the cylinder and the ram have the other of the blind end port and the rod end port, wherein hydraulic fluid flowing into the cylinder through the blind end port urges the ram toward an extended position to extend the dipper handle, and hydraulic fluid flowing into the rod end port urges the ram toward a retracted position to retract the dipper handle. Hydraulic fluid flowing into and out of the cylinder is controlled by one or more pilot operated poppet valves.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2005Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Bucyrus International, Inc.Inventors: Timothy R. Kerrigan, Carl D. Gilmore, Matthew Brueck, Jeanne M. Yaunke, Michael Haws, Michael G. Onsager

Patent number: 4192091Abstract: A photographic display apparatus which comprises a substrate, as for example, a glass sheet having a mirrored surface thereon. An orthochromatic, high contrast, graphic arts copy film, or so-called "ortho film," having a positive visual image is disposed on the substrate and is covered by a transparent sheet. These three components may then be secured together by conventional means. The image on the ortho film is viewed through the transparent sheet against the mirrored surface of the substrate and which presents a unique visual appearance, similar to that of an image etched onto glass. The ortho film may be made by using a positive print of the desired image and generating a negative film therefrom through conventional photographic techniques. This negative film may be printed and enlarged if desired during the printing process in order to produce a positive ortho film sheet which is used in the above photographic display apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1978Date of Patent: March 11, 1980Inventor: Michael Hawes
