  • Patent number: 10119248
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a guardrail for construction equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a guardrail for construction equipment that can adjust the overall height thereof, for example, to satisfy a height limit when a cargo ship is loaded with construction equipment, thereby increasing the amount of loaded construction equipment to reduce a transportation cost. To this end, the present invention provides a guardrail for construction equipment, comprising: a lower guardrail fixed to the edge of an upper body of the construction equipment; an upper guardrail connected to the lower guardrail; and a connecting part that is formed between the lower and upper guardrails to connect the lower and upper guardrails and enables the upper guardrail to move toward the lower guardrail, thereby adjusting the overall height made by the lower and upper guardrails.

  • Patent number: 4441568
    Abstract: The improved weighing scale support device comprises an upright hand support which may be, for example, generally T-shaped or inverted U-shaped, and means for attaching the hand support to the moveable weighing platform of a scale rather than to the fixed portion of the scale. The support comprises a generally vertical portion and a generally horizontal portion and is preferably adjustable vertically and/or horizontally. For example, it may include as the vertical portion one or a plurality of hollow vertical tubes having vertical rods slideably disposed and adjustably pinned in the tubes. The horizontal portion may include a crossbar to which is hinged a pair of foldable arms. Alternatively, the horizontal portion may be arcuate with fixed arms bearing handles. The hand support attaching means may be a sleeve slideable over the top, back, front and a portion of the bottom of the moveable weighing platform of a scale. The sleeve can have a closed end and a closeable opposite open end.

  • Patent number: 4006789
    Abstract: A scale which has a frame that is freely movable about the floor defined by a base having forward and aft ends and a pair of spaced-apart upright posts connected to the base and disposed adjacent the aft end thereof. The weighing mechanism includes a carriage that is vertically movable along the posts and which has a pair of horizontal, forwardly projecting arms that support a weigh-board in its horizontal position. The weigh-board is pivotally attached to one of the arms and means is provided for releasably locking the weigh-board in its upright storage position. A guardrail is rigidly secured to the frame and positioned immediately forward of the carriage so that the scale, with the weigh-board in its horizontal position, can be pushed over a hospital bed for transferring a patient onto or from the weigh-board while preventing any contact between any portion of the weighing mechanism and the bed to prevent inaccurate weight measurements.
