Patent number: 10124962Abstract: A roll-formed steel slat for use in a reciprocating floor slat conveyor system. The roll-formed steel slat is formed in a manner so as to have an upper, load-carrying surface, and a pair of downwardly depending side legs. Each side leg terminates in a foot. One foot is vertically offset from the other to provide a “hold-down” function that prevents the slat from vertically rising as the slat reciprocates back-and-forth.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Keith Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Daniel W. Jackson, Randall Mark Foster, Nathan Keeley, Victor Matthews, Scott Delamarter

Publication number: 20150075880Abstract: An electric cart for facilitating the harvesting of berries and other crops comprising a steering side wheel assembly with a front steering wheel and a rear drive wheel connected by a first connecting member and a caster side wheel assembly comprising a front caster wheel and a rear drive wheel connected by a second connecting member. Both drive wheels are connected to battery-powered motors. A main cross-bar connects the castor side wheel assembly to the steering side wheel assembly and maintains an adjustable distance between the first and second connecting members. The invention preferably includes a plurality of solar panels that charge the batteries that supply power to the first and second battery-powered motors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2013Publication date: March 19, 2015Applicant: GK Machine, Inc.Inventors: Gary Grossen, Scott Grossen, Nathan Keeley
