  • Patent number: 11952017
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sanding system for a rail vehicle with a grit container, with a conveying device and with a feeding device. The grit container contains a grit. The grit passes from the grit container into the conveying device and from the conveying device into the feeding device. The feeding device is configured in such a way that the grit can be introduced in a targeted manner into a wheel region and/or into a rail region of the rail vehicle. The conveying device has a driven conveyor worm which rotates about a longitudinal axis and by way of which the grit passes from the grit container into a conveying chamber. Compressed air can be introduced into the conveying chamber, in order to transport the grit from the conveying chamber into the feeding device.

  • Patent number: 7380521
    Abstract: A collapsible cage/crate for pets having an inner framework within a soft-sided shell. The internal framework is integrated and manipulated by two locking hubs such that when the hubs are unlocked and urged towards each other, the crate collapses. In its deployed configuration, the crate provides an area for an animal to be confined whereas when the crate is collapsed the crate is compact and easy to transport. The outer shell of the crate is formed of fabric and includes one or more mesh panels in order to provide airflow into and out of the crate. Access is gained to the interior of the crate through one or more doors.
