Patent number: 10723551Abstract: An adapter to allow a sideloading refuse collection body to empty a rear loading container having trunnions. The adapter has a pair of spaced apart trunnion pockets to receive opposing trunnions of the container. A pair of lock arms on the adapter can be lowered against the tops of opposing sides of the container to lock the container in the trunnion pockets and against a stabilizer which engages the front wall of the container. The adapter includes a guide plate aligned with and extending from the front wall of the container. Lift arms on the collection body are joined to opposing sides of the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: KANN MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Jared L.

Patent number: 10449888Abstract: An assembly for a fracking sand trailer wherein a door can be positioned to allow a measured flow of sand to exit the assembly. The assembly can be attached to a hopper of a trailer and can stand the weight of heavy loads associated with sand. A trailer with the assembly is also described and utilizes specific construction techniques to lighten the weight of the trailer.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2018Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Kann Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Kenneth D.

Patent number: 10378635Abstract: A cam follower roller assembly has a shaft insertable into a roller. The shaft has a zerk in communication with the channel wherein lubricant can be added to the assembly. The design of the assembly in one embodiment is such that a larger shoulder to shaft radius stabilizes the shaft and limits the shaft from rocking or elongating within a mounting hole. When utilized in the application of a loading mechanism and carriage assembly for trash collection vehicles, one embodiment of the cam follower roller assembly provides greater life and easier serviceability.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Kann Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Jared Rowland, Kenneth D.

Patent number: 9738446Abstract: A refuse collection assembly for a refuse collection vehicle mounts to a intermediate container on the refuse collection vehicle. The refuse receptacle collection assembly can grasp a refuse receptacle at curbside, at street side, or forward of the intermediate container in any location over a one hundred eighty degree arc. The collection assembly grasps the receptacle and locates it above the intermediate container and tilts it sufficiently to empty the contents of the receptacle in the intermediate container. The collection assembly then returns the receptacle upright to its previous location or to any location to the right, left or forward of the refuse collection assembly. The refuse receptacle collection assembly includes a rail extending along a wall of the intermediate container, a carriage selectively movable along the rail, and a receptacle engaging assembly supported by the carriage for grasping the refuse receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Kann Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Jared Rowland, Marlin Johnson, Kenneth D.

Patent number: 9221602Abstract: An improved recyclables collection vehicle includes a lift mechanism for selective loading into any one of multiple hoppers on the vehicle. The lift mechanism includes a track which extends past the rear of the vehicle such that a moveable carriage may move along the track to collect a refuse bin located to the rear of the vehicle or on an elevated dock behind or alongside the vehicle. The carriage can be aligned with any one of the hoppers such that the lift mechanism will elevate the refuse bin and invert it over the hopper container. The movement of the carriage along the track and the raising of the lift mechanism are operated with a wireless remote control.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2012Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Kann Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Kenneth D.

Patent number: 9102468Abstract: An automated side loading mechanism for a refuse collection body capable of lifting and emptying a refuse container equipped with a trunnion bar. A carriage reaches out from the side of the collection body and includes a lift mechanism. The lift mechanism includes pockets to receive opposing ends of the trunnion bar on the refuse container. Lock arms pivot downward so that bar members on the lock arms overlie top edges of the refuse container. The carriage is retracted and the lift mechanism is raised on the carriage so that the refuse container can be upended over the load opening of the collection body. The bars on the lock arms angle upwardly to allow plastic lids hinged to the refuse container to swing past the bars when the container is upended, while restraining the container from falling into the collection body.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Kann Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Kenneth D.
