Publication number: 20230364822Abstract: A lumber cutting and delivery system for use in assembling trusses on a truss table includes a saw for cutting a piece of material into pieces of a truss. A trunk conveyor system receives the pieces cut from the saw. The trunk conveyor system has a first conveying element to transport the pieces over a distance in a travel direction and an ejector for discharging the pieces from the first conveying element in a first discharge direction. A branch conveyor system is configured to receive the pieces discharged from the trunk conveyor system in the first discharge direction. The branch conveyor system has a main conveying element to transport the pieces.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Kathy JIN, Du KIM, Vicky CARROLL, Karl VIELHABER, Kyle BROWN, Jeffrey FRITZ, JR., Travis SHELTON, Efegbare EFENEDO, Manish KANJEE

Patent number: 11691310Abstract: A lumber cutting and delivery system for use in assembling trusses on a truss table includes a saw configured to receive a piece of material therein. The saw is configured to cut the piece of material into one or more pieces and at different lengths and angles so that at least some of the one or more pieces are the components of at least one truss. A trunk conveyor system is positioned to receive the one or more pieces cut from the saw. The trunk conveyor system has a first conveying element to transport the one or more pieces over a distance in a travel direction and an ejector configured to discharge the one or more pieces from the first conveying element in a first discharge direction. A branch conveyor system is configured to receive the one or more pieces discharged from the trunk conveyor system in the first discharge direction. The branch conveyor system has a main conveying element to transport the one or more pieces.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: MITEK HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Kathy Jin, Du Kim, Vicky Carroll, Karl Vielhaber, Kyle Brown, Jeffrey Fritz, Jr., Travis Shelton, Efegbare Efenedo, Manish Kanjee

Publication number: 20190353285Abstract: A clamp device includes a clamping plate having a first side portion that is sized and shaped for reception into a channel defined by a bottom channel portion of one of the rails of the cable tray. The clamping plate has a second side portion configured for fastening to a cable tray support such that the bottom channel portion of the rail is clamped between the clamping plate and the cable tray support. The use of the clamp device increases the load-bearing capacity of the cable tray assembly over an identical cable tray that does not include the clamping plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventor: Travis Shelton

Publication number: 20160072432Abstract: A module clip for use in grounding a photovoltaic module through electrical connection with a racking assembly on which the photovoltaic module is mountable. The module clip includes upper and lower clip jaws at least partially defining a press-fit channel for press fitting the module clip onto a lower flange of the photovoltaic module. A piercing member on at least one of the upper and lower clip jaws pierces an electrically non-conductive outer layer on the lower flange of the photovoltaic module and contacts an electrically conductive material of the lower flange as the module clip is press fit onto the lower flange. A lead-connecting member of the module clip is used in securing a ground wire to the module clip.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2015Publication date: March 10, 2016Applicant: COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANYInventors: William E. McCarthy, Travis Shelton, Brandon M. Tally, Eric R. Nuernberger
