Publication number: 20080079231Abstract: The skateboard wheel and axle assembly includes an axle rigidly mounted in a hangar, with opposite ends of the axle extending from the hangar. Each end of the axle has an axial blind bore defined therein closed by an end cap and a plurality of holes defined radially adjacent the end cap. A spring-biased detent pin slidably mounted in the bore urges a plurality of detent balls to partially extend from the radially disposed holes. The detent balls engage an annular groove defined in the inner race of the outer wheel bearing to retain the wheel on the axle. The detent pin has a release arm extending through aligned slots in the axle and the hangar that can be retracted, compressing the bias spring, in order to withdraw the detent balls from the groove so that the wheel can be pulled off the axle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Inventor: Paul G.

Patent number: 6722828Abstract: The present invention embodies a method and structure for constraining logs on a truck or trailer without the use of safety wrapper chains or straps. In this apparatus, the stakes, bunks, bunk pockets, head board and tail board are used to constrain logs on the bed of the truck or trailer. The stakes may be permanently or semi-permanently fixed into a bunk pocket and the stakes constrain the movement of the logs from side to side on the truck or trailer. The head board and tail board are permanently attached to stakes which are correspondingly inserted into pockets welded into the bed of the trailer or truck and are permanently or semi-permanently fixed in the pockets. The head board and tail board constrain the movement of the logs from front to back on the truck or trailer. This systems configuration makes it possible for the logs to be hauled without the addition of safety wrapper chains or straps to secure the load.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2001Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: Great Lakes Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Craig French
