  • Patent number: 8123296
    Abstract: A vehicle bench seat assembly includes a seat bottom including a first seat portion having a seating surface, a second seat portion having a seating surface, and a third seat portion having a seating surface. The seat assembly further includes a seat back including a first back portion, a second back portion, and a third back portion located between the first and second portions. The third seat portion is movable between a first position, wherein the seating surface of the third seat portion is generally flush with the seating surfaces of the first and second seat portions, and a second position, wherein the seating surface of the third seat portion extends in a non-flush position relative to the seating surfaces of the first and second seat portions.

  • Patent number: 6430035
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for assembly and maintenance of connection modules (3) in high-voltage switchgear (1). According to the invention assembly and maintenance are performed in a service bay (6) in the vicinity of the switchgear. Modules (3a) to be assembled, replaced or repaired are transported between the service bay (6) and its site (2a) in the switchgear area by a service vehicle (4). The vehicle (4), connection modules (3) and the positions for their base plates (2) are thus so adapted to each other that the service vehicle (4) can move about in the switchgear area while the switchgear is in operation. A special aspect of the invention is the custom-design of the service vehicle (4) specifically for its purpose.

  • Patent number: 6172866
    Abstract: A truck mounted breaker for high voltage lines. The breaker is a kind in which a linear displaceable contact device, including a plurality of units, coacts with a stationary countercontact device which includes a corresponding number of countercontact units. The breaker is intended for high voltage lines. All countercontact units are supported by a stand common to the units. The stand also supports the linear displaceable contact device. This arrangement ensures correct alignment of all pairs of contact and countercontact units.

  • Patent number: 6072142
    Abstract: A switch assembly for high voltage overhead lines. The assembly includes circuit breakers with associated operators and circuit disconnectors with associated operators. These are supported by a stand. This switch assembly construction reduces the amount of space required by the switch gear and simplifies the erection of the switch gear. The stand has a single support base which supports all components of the switch assembly.
