  • Patent number: 10494304
    Abstract: A calcium silicate insulation product includes a calcium silicate hydrate matrix that is predominantly but not substantially all xonotlite, for example 51-90 weight percent xonotlite and 10-49 weight percent tobermorite. The insulation product also contains wollastonite, and may include fines of lime and silica and reinforcing carbon fibers. A method of producing the insulation product includes providing the components of the insulation as dry solids, blending the dry solids with water to form a slurry, filter pressing the slurry to form a pressed shape, and curing the pressed shape under steam pressure only until the desired proportions of xonotlite and tobermorite are achieved in the calcium silicate hydrate matrix.

  • Patent number: 10442280
    Abstract: A trailer has a container with top doors having a frame and weatherproof thermoplastic inserts. Sealing flaps are provided at edges of the top doors to make sealing contact with sidewall top rails or top edges of end walls and tailgate. The top doors have angled extensions with grooves for ball gaskets to overlap in hand-in-hand fashion to form a reliable seal where the top doors come together. The system provides a weatherproof means to enclose the container to prevent or deter entry of water.

  • Patent number: 10364932
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a hybrid high temperature thermal insulation includes a mix of inorganic granules. The granular mix includes at least 70 weight percent porous inorganic granules in the form of expanded perlite, and at most 30 weight percent second porous inorganic granules other than expanded perlite. The hybrid insulation also includes a binder. In example formulations, the second porous inorganic particles may be made from crushed aerogel, from fumed silica, from precipitated silica, or from other substances. The hybrid insulation may be formed into preferred shapes, for example a board shape or a semi-cylindrical shape configured to fit over a round tube of a predetermined diameter.

  • Patent number: 10183610
    Abstract: A protective rail for a trailer is formed of an extension or ridge projecting outwardly from a wall of the trailer and extending along at least a part of a length of the wall. The protective rail is provided with tie-down anchors for coupling with tie-downs having couplers such as rings, eyes, or loops. The anchors may tongues formed in the protective rail when the protective rail is cut-out at selected locations along the protective rail. The anchors may be sized and shaped such that the surrounding portion of the protective rail prevents or tends to prevent other trailers or objects contacting the protective rail from damaging or becoming caught on the anchors.
