  • Publication number: 20150084309
    Abstract: An articulated chassis work vehicle has an articulation joint rotatably coupling separate engine and equipment frames of the vehicle chassis. The articulation joint can have upper and lower joint assemblies. One or both of the upper and lower joint assemblies are constructed and arranged so that a corresponding bearing assembly is located between a single tab-like lug of each frame. In one arrangement, the articulation joint does away with clevis connections at both the upper and lower joint assemblies such that the available space within the articulation joint defined between the innermost upper and lower lugs is not reduced by additional lug and bearing components of either joint assembly.

  • Patent number: 7066098
    Abstract: A nesting table comprises a frame, a table top that rotates between a use configuration and a storage configuration, and a control that controls the rate of rotation from the use configuration to the storage configuration but does not affect the rate of rotation of the table top from the storage configuration to the use configuration. An impact protection device can be mounted on the frame to protect an adjacent table when two or more tables are nested in storage configuration. The nesting table also can be provided with a modesty screen that is mounted such that it does not interfere with the rotation of the table top in either direction. The table further can be provided with a latch including a hook, and a hook cover to further protect adjacent tables in nested configuration.
