  • Patent number: 11643827
    Abstract: A reinforcement assembly removably connectable to a pan of a troweling machine having a rotor assembly with corresponding troweling arms each supporting a trowel blade is provided. The reinforcement assembly comprises a reinforcement member; a first connector connectable to the reinforcement member, the first connector being removably connectable to one of the troweling arms; and a second connector connectable to the reinforcement member, the second connector being removably connectable to the pan. In operation, the reinforcement assembly maximizes a distribution of weight of the troweling machine onto a surface of the pan.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10838526
    Abstract: Objects are provided that can be manipulated relative to a touch-sensitive surface, in particular game pieces or buttons for interacting with a touch screen. A manipulable includes at least one lug enabling an interaction with the touch-sensitive surface; and a slot suitable for inserting the manipulable object on a holder that can be positioned relative to the touch-sensitive surface. The placement of the slot over the height of the manipulable object is suitable for keeping the at least one lug of the manipulable object in interaction with the touch-sensitive surface. Thus, the manipulable object allows the touch-sensitive surface to be interacted with at any time without any interaction errors, regardless of the position of this touch-sensitive surface relative to the horizontal. The touch-sensitive surface identifies any interaction (at a point or sliding) of the manipulable object and a non-erroneous location of this interaction on the tactile surface.

  • Patent number: 5257440
    Abstract: A modular structure comprising a metal frame consisting of tubular elements with rectangular cross sections, welded to each other by means of gusset plates, wherein the tubular elements are interrupted at the point of the juncture of one frame with an adjacent one, the free spaces provided in this manner being occupied by joining pieces.
