A mount for receiving and retaining at least one ramp. The mount includes a first side and a second side. The first side includes a body portion, at least one engagement finger extending in a first direction and at least one engagement finger extending in a second direction. The second side includes a body portion, at least one engagement finger extending in the first direction and at least one engagement finger extending in a second direction. At least one spacer member can be coupled to the body portion of the first and second sides so as to provide at least some spacing between the first side and the second side. The mount can be attached to a wheeled vehicle for removable attachment of one or more ramps thereto. The wheeled vehicle can be a lawn mower.

The pneumatic support has a pneumatic body which can be placed pneumatically under pressure and which, under operating pressure, operationally keeps at a distance apart a compression member which extends substantially over its length and a tension member which likewise extends substantially over its length, wherein forces are introduced at force introduction points in end regions of the compression member and the tension member into said members and wherein connecting elements are provided between the compression member and the tension member and introduce forces into the compression member and the tension member likewise at force introduction points, wherein, furthermore, the pneumatic body has formations which extend between adjacent force introduction points and which project outwardly beyond a rectilinear connection between the adjacent force introduction points. As a result, undesired distortion of the support under operating pressure, but without operating load, is avoided.

A hybrid truss assembly with a truss bay centrally deployed, and with half-bays deployed on either side. The configuration provides four panels (such as solar panels), with two chords connected by four transverse members. The half-bays are locked in a rigid position using a barrel lock hinge assembly. The half-bays fold compactly beside the folded center bay assembly when retracted. The truss assembly may be pivotally mounted on a mobile cart, and may then be manually or automatically tilted or rotated to a desired angle.

An aircraft boarding apparatus has a passenger bridge that has a confinement structure coupled to the second passenger bridge. The confinement structure exerts a ground-anchoring effect on the second passenger bridge to offset the ultralight configuration of the passenger bridge.

An access module for a modular access structure has a longitudinally and vertically extending first frame and a longitudinally and vertically extending second frame. The second frame laterally opposes the first frame. A deformable lower support structure laterally extends between the first and second frames. The lower support structure includes a deck spanning a longitudinal length of the access module. A deformable upper support structure laterally extends between the first and second frames. The upper support structure is spaced above the deck. The access module is configurable by deformation of the lower and upper support structures between an extended configuration in which the first and second frames are spaced apart a first distance and the deck is generally horizontal and a collapsed configuration in which a distance between the first and second frames is less than the first distance. The access module is adapted to be fastened end to end to a second access module.

A passenger boarding bridge comprises: a walkway section which is provided at an outer tunnel of adjacent tunnels, and is movable between a walkway position and a non-walkway position located under the walkway position; and a plurality of rotary members arranged along the lengthwise direction of the outer tunnel, each of the plurality of rotary members being rotatable around a vertical rotation axis between a first rotation position at which the rotary member supports an end portion of the walkway section while at the walkway position and a second rotation position at which the rotary member does not support the end portion In a case where at least one of adjacent rotary members of the plurality of rotary members is at the second rotation position, the adjacent rotary members partially overlap with each other when viewed in the width direction of the walkway section or in the vertical direction.

A platform (10) comprising two or more ladders (20, 30), of the type having stiles (25, 26) and rungs (40), releasably attachable together in a side-by-side arrangement such that the rungs of each ladder are in the same plane, at least two of the rungs on each ladder being hollow, the platform further comprising a first elongate member (50) arranged to pass through co-axially positioned hollow rungs of each ladder, the first elongate member comprising a widened portion at one end thereof, and a releasable locking member (60) at the other end thereof, to releasably clamp the ladders together, the platform further comprising at least one deck plate (110) arrangeable on the rungs of one of the two or more ladders to form a deck.

A prefabricated, modular bridge is provided that can be assembled to construct bridges of various lengths, widths and skew angles relative to the orientation of foundation elements. The modular bridge includes longitudinal frame members, and a roadway surface made of roadway deck panels and transverse hubs. The transverse hubs define transverse ledges to support ends of the roadway deck panels. The transverse hubs have attached hub attachment clamps that move transversely relative to the transverse hubs to selectively disengage or engage the top flanges of the longitudinal frame members. An assembly for splicing the longitudinal frame members is provided, including an anchor bolt extending between bearing support members attached to the longitudinal frame members. An external reinforcing assembly for the modular bridge is also provided. The external reinforcing assembly includes longitudinal tendons, anchor blocks, and spacers and hangers for deviating the tendons from the bottom flange of the frame members.
