A rear ejector body comprising a receptacle and an ejector blade mounted to the receptacle via an ejector blade mounting assembly comprising a first side mount and second side mount each connected to the side portions of the ejector blade body, the first and second side mount each including a sled for receiving a respective side mounting rail to support the ejector blade and a central mount configured for insertion onto a floor mounting rail. In various embodiments the central mount is positioned on a bottom surface of the hydraulic housing where the central mount includes a rearward aperture and a forward aperture and defines a pathway between to receive the floor mounting rail, the floor mounting rail having a wider top portion than bottom portion such that the floor mounting rail, when received in the pathway of the central mount, resists upward movement of the ejector blade.

The invention relates to a push-off device, in particular for agricultural cargo. The push-off device includes a loading space, which comprises a loading floor, two laterally adjoining sidewalls and a push-off wall. The push-off device further includes a first hydraulic cylinder arrangement, which comprises one first hydraulic cylinder piston that is movable in a first hydraulic cylinder tube and a second hydraulic cylinder arrangement, which comprises one second hydraulic cylinder piston that is movable in a second hydraulic cylinder tube. The push-off wall is mounted to be displaceable in a longitudinal direction of the loading space on the second hydraulic cylinder tube and by operation of the first hydraulic cylinder arrangement is displaceable relative to the sliding floor, which is displaceable by operation of the second hydraulic cylinder arrangement relative to the loading floor of the loading space. The invention moreover relates to a push-off vehicle comprising a sliding device.

An actuator for a machine includes a cylinder barrel and a piston arrangement received within the cylinder barrel. The actuator further includes a first cylinder received within the cylinder barrel and a first member coupled to the first cylinder at a first cylinder end of the first cylinder. The actuator also includes a second cylinder received within the first cylinder and a second member coupled to the second cylinder at a second cylinder end of the second cylinder. The actuator includes a third cylinder received within the first cylinder and a third member coupled to the third cylinder at a third cylinder end of the third cylinder. At least one of the first member, the second member, and the third member is threadedly coupled to the first cylinder, the second cylinder, and the third cylinder, respectively.

A ball picking robot and a ball unloading method using the same. The ball picking robot includes a chassis, an L-shaped hanging lug, a ball storage frame, an electric push rod disposed on the chassis, a baffle disposed on the chassis, a bracket disposed on the chassis and a drive motor for driving the electric push rod to move. A movable end of the electric push rod is connected with one end of the L-shaped hanging lug, the other end of the L-shaped hanging lug is connected with a side of the ball storage frame, and a camera is disposed on the bracket.

An apparatus is provided for moving and securing articles in a pickup truck cargo bed. The pickup truck cargo bed may have opposing sidewalls, cab wall, tailgate, and floor. The apparatus comprises a plurality of tracks configured to connect to the pickup truck cargo bed, the plurality of tracks extending substantially along a longitudinal length of the pickup truck cab and defining a channel. A push plate slidably is mounted to the plurality of tracks with a movement member, and the push plate configured to stand perpendicular to the floor. The apparatus also comprises an actuator in mechanical communication with the push plate, the actuator configured to move the push plate to a desired position in the pickup truck cargo bed. An adjustable enclosed area is defined by the push plate, opposing side walls, and tail gate.

A planar transport device (10) having a driving surface (12) and having at least one first platform (16), which can be coupled electromagnetically to the driving surface and moved parallel to the driving surface. The planar transport device includes a payload space (24) for arrangement of a payload (26).The planar transport device includes an inertial element (30) which is movable relative to the first platform, and the movable inertial element and the payload space are oriented relative to each other such that, upon deceleration of the first platform due to movement of the inertial element in an effective direction relative to the first platform, at least some of the kinetic energy of the inertial element can be transferred to the payload space. A method for operation of a planar transport device is also described.

Systems and methods for delivering a package to a curbside receptacle are provided. A delivery window of a vehicle may be aligned with a curbside receptacle. A carousel within the vehicle may be moved, e.g., rotated, within the vehicle to align a target compartment with the delivery window. A conveyor arm slidably coupled to the delivery window is then extended and aligned with the target compartment, and a target package within the target compartment is ejected from the target compartment onto the conveyor arm, e.g., via a plunger mechanism. The conveyor arm then transfers the target package to curbside receptacle.

A vehicle on which a container (1) is mounted for transporting materials, said container comprising a movable partition (10) extending transversely inside the container. The vehicle comprises a motor (16) pulling on a pair of cables (14a, 14b), the front ends of which are connected to the partition (10) on either side, in order to pull the partition (10) towards the rear of the container so as to unload the materials. The cables run along the side walls (4a, 4b) of the container, at a distance from a bottom of the container. The side walls (4a, 4b) of the container have projections (24a, 24b) each extending towards the inside of the container and overhanging the cables so that said cables are protected from falling materials during loading of the container from above.
