    Abstract: A load bearing structure for a large-scale vehicle includes a base and a return unit. The base includes a mounting seat and a side-skirt connecting member which has a pivot portion pivoted to the mounting seat. The pivot portion includes a first contact portion, a second contact portion and a third contact portion, and under normal conditions, the first contact portion is abutted against the mounting seat. The return unit is located within the pivot portion and pivoted to the mounting seat to keep the side-skirt connecting member staying in the normal conditions. The third contact portion defines a second angle with respect to the top plate, which allows the side-skirt connecting member to pivot in a bidirectional manner when returning to its original position, so that collision between the mounting seat and the side-skirt connecting member can be prevented, and the fatigue problem is consequently solved.

  • Patent number: 8807498
    Abstract: A sawhorse bracket permits assembly of a heavy duty sawhorse from support lumber pieces that may be easily disassembled for transport and storage. The sawhorse bracket includes a cross beam bracket and two attached and opposing support leg brackets—all of channel-shaped body construction. Both the cross beam bracket and the pair of support leg brackets have retention members that may be utilized to selectively retain support lumber within the respective brackets. A web brace extends between the opposed leg brackets to provide additional lateral support and resist the spreading of the support legs when a load is being carried by the assembled sawhorse.

  • Publication number: 20140209766
    Abstract: A retaining apparatus includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and an operation member. The first bracket includes two sidewalls. The second bracket includes two side plates slidably attached to the sidewalls, respectively. The operation member includes an operation portion, a mounting piece fixed to the second sidewall, and an engaging piece. A flange extends from one of the side plates of the second bracket. When the second bracket and the first bracket slide toward each other, the engaging piece abuts against a first end of the flange. The operation portion is pressed inward to release the engaging piece from the flange, and the second bracket is slid out relative to the first bracket until the engaging piece is restored to abut against a second end of the flange.
