Abstract: A vehicle including an elevatable cargo box to facilitate cargo loading and unloading. The vehicle includes a U-shaped cargo area within which the cargo box is located by mounted guides. The cargo box is movable between elevated and lowered positions by cables, which is operated by a drive system and is laterally secured in the elevated position by cones being fully registered within blocks. In a preferred embodiment, the cargo box is retrofitted to an existing vehicle. A series of cables is connected to corners of the cargo box and a drive is operably connected to the series of cables for retracting and extending the cables effecting the movement of the cargo box.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided with an elevatable cargo box to facilitate cargo loading and unloading. The vehicle includes a U-shaped cargo area within which the cargo box is located by mounted guides. The cargo box is movable between elevated and lowered positions by cables in response to a drive system, the cargo box being laterally secured in the elevated position by cones that engage within corresponding spaces in blocks. In a preferred embodiment, the cargo box is retrofitted to an existing vehicle.

Abstract: A wheel mounting assembly for installing a transmission-based anti-lock braking system sensor thereon has a stub axle. An anti-lock braking system sensor is mounted relative to the stub axle. A hub is rotatably mounted on the stub axle. A disc is mounted for rotation with the hub. The disc has a plurality of apertures circumferentially spaced on a face thereof for passing the anti-lock braking system sensor as the disc rotates.

Abstract: A pick-up truck vehicle is provided with an elevatable cargo box to facilitate cargo loading and unloading. The vehicle includes a U-shaped cargo area within which the cargo box is located, thereby requiring removal of all suspension assemblies to the outer sides of the vehicle to permit the cargo box to be movable between elevated and lowered positions. The side-mounted suspension assembly employs a leaf spring coupled to a pivoting wheel carrier. A pair of integrally formed longitudinal members couple the wheel carrier pivotally to the frame, and a transverse, upwardly directed arm is pivotally coupled to the leaf spring by a dual pivot arrangement. Pivoting action therefore is present relative to the frame and the leaf spring. The wheel carrier is integrally formed with the longitudinal members and the upwardly directed arm and is disposed beneath the leaf spring.

Abstract: An apparatus for injection molding plastics material has an injection unit for delivering a plasticized melt through a nozzle, a press unit for urging a mold together at a predetermined pressure, a mold mounted in the press unit and a programmable controller operably connected to the injection unit and the press unit for automatically controlling the operation of the apparatus for repetitively producing uniform articles. The mold has a stationary mold section and a moveable mold section. The press unit is adapted for reciprocating the moveable mold section between an open position and a closed position. The stationary mold section has a plurality of ports at pre-selected points. Each port has a controllable gate for selectively opening and closing the ports for passing melt to a mold cavity until the melt fully occupies the mold cavity while controlling and minimizing melt lines formed when a flow of melt from one of the ports meets with a flow of melt from another of the ports.
