Patent number: 11801994Abstract: A receptacle is provided for holding a quantity of solid material. The receptacle includes a container having an open end, and a gate operably connected to the container so as to be rotatable to a closed position structured to prevent solid material from exiting the container through the open end. The gate includes a locking arm mounted thereon. A latching mechanism is operably connected to the container and includes a latch rotatable to a latched orientation structured to contact the locking arm to prevent the gate from being rotated out of the closed position. The locking arm is structured to move rearwardly and upwardly during rotation of the gate out of the closed position. The latch is structured so that contact between the latch and the locking arm when the latch is in the latched orientation prevents rearward and upward movement of the locking arm.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignees: Royal Truck and Trailer Sales and Service, Inc., Edw. C. Levy Co.Inventors: Michael Morrison, Scott Chapman, Sean Chapman, Brian Billings, John Battles, Michael Robert Pollock, Brian Matthew Clark

Patent number: 10791205Abstract: Portable communication devices and related methods for use in supporting voice and/or data communication are provided. One example portable communication device includes a housing, an interface connector disposed at the housing. The interface connector is configured to couple to an accessory module configured to provide at least one accessory function. The example portable communication device also includes a processor disposed at least partially within the housing. The processor is coupled to the interface connector and is configured to determine whether a coupled accessory module is an approved module for use with the portable communication device, based on an identity of the accessory module, and if the accessory module is an approved module, enable power at the interface connector such that communication between the portable communication device and the accessory module is permitted.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventor: Brian Scott Chapman
