  • Patent number: 9624033
    Abstract: A bolt-on shaft and gear system includes a body assembly defining two spaced apart mounts. A powered grasping assembly includes a first pivot pin pivotally positioned in a first of the two mounts and a first gear section fixedly coupled to the first pivot pin. An actuating driver is attached between the body assembly and the powered grasping assembly for controllably rotating the powered grasping assembly about the first pivot pin. A follower grasping assembly includes a second pivot pin pivotally positioned in a second of the two mounts and a second gear section fixedly coupled to the second pivot pin, the second gear section is meshed with the first gear section so as to rotate with the powered grasping assembly in an opposite direction.

  • Patent number: 9284118
    Abstract: A front loading refuse collection vehicle (10) has a cab (12) connected with a storage bin (14). The storage bin (14) includes an opening (18) that enables refuse to enter into the storage bin (14). The refuse is supplied by a front loading device (16) into the bin. Covers (20, 120) overlay the opening (18) when the vehicle (10) is in motion from collection position to collection position. Additionally, the cover (20, 120) moves from a bin covering position into a cab shielding position.

  • Patent number: 5658117
    Abstract: A clamp connector for a front end loader includes a base member having a pair of jaw members extending therefrom. The jaw members terminate in a pair of substantially parallel fastener portions. Each of the fastener portions has an opening formed therein. The fastener portion openings align to receive a fastener extending therethrough. The jaw members are arcuately shaped such that a substantially cylindrical opening is formed therebetween. The base member has a relief opening formed therein. The relief opening communicates with the substantially cylindrical opening.

  • Patent number: 5017200
    Abstract: A baghouse chamber divided into an inlet for receiving a gas stream containing particulates, an outlet for exiting said gas stream after filtering, a main chamber and an auxiliary chamber. At least one filter bag is housed within the main chamber for filtering said gas stream. The filter bag has an extension portion extending through a connection into the baghouse chamber. The connection prevents particulate from bypassing the outlet of the baghouse chamber and allows for pulling a replacement filter bag attached to the extension portion into the main chamber. A removal means is attached to the baghouse for transporting the at least one operable filter bag to the auxiliary chamber and for pulling the replacement filter bag into the main chamber.

  • Patent number: 4167202
    Abstract: An apparatus for twisting two or more electrical conductors into a single cable, each of the conductors having a portion of their insulation stripped at each end. Wires of a desired length are cut and stripped and fed through a twist die having a belled entry to a point where the wires are gripped in a nip formed between a pinch roll and a power roll. These rolls are mounted so as to be swung about the longitudinal axis of the wires so as to twist the wires together into a single cable. A manifold and air supply system is provided so as to prevent lateral swinging of the twisted cable as it passes from the rollers to a wire guide from which the completed cable is dropped into a wire tray.
