Device for spraying a dye penetration inspection liquid into a workpiece
A device for spraying a liquid for use in dye penetration inspection into an inner cavity of a workpiece for making a turbine engine part, the device including a workpiece support, a manifold for spraying the inspection liquid into the inner cavity, a manifold for sucking up and discharging the sprayed inspection liquid, and a mechanism for tilting at least a portion of the support from a substantially horizontal position to an inclined position in which the workpiece is inclined so that the inspection liquid sprayed into the cavity flows under gravity to a zone from which it is sucked up.
Bottom dumping wheelbarrow
A bottom dumping wheelbarrow including a wheelbarrow having a support frame, an upper member disposed atop the support frame, a pair of handles attached to the support frame, and a plurality of wheels attached to and downwardly extended from the support frame. A door is disposed within a bottom side of the upper member. A control handle is pivotally attached to a bottom surface of the support frame of the wheelbarrow and affixed to the door. The door has an open position and an alternate closed position.
Laundry receptacle with lifting platform
The invention relates a laundry hamper/receptacle having a handle assembly to lift a platform for removal of laundry inside of the hamper. A first handle assembly has singular tubular members with telescoping means connected to a rod affixed to the platform. An alternative handle assembly utilizes a pair of arms providing additional lifting capacity connected to a rod affixed to the platform.
Parcel cart
A parcel cart for transporting parcels comprises a substructure, with a frame mounted to and supported by the substructure. The frame defines an internal volume in which parcels are received and stored for transport. The frame also includes: a base; a first end wall; a second end wall; a first side wall; and a second side wall. To facilitate loading or unloading of the parcel cart, the frame can include at least one end wall configured to transition between an upright position and a lowered position. To facilitate autonomous transport of the parcel cart, the substructure and the frame can define a cavity for receiving a mobile robot. To avoid occlusion of the field of view of one or more cameras associated with the mobile robot, the frame can include at least one end wall that is in a non-perpendicular orientation relative to the base.
Table truck
A table truck 10 for carrying multiple roller-carrying tables 12, the table truck comprises a bass 22 with ground wheels or castors 24. A frame 26 on the base 22 defines a storage space for multiple roller-carrying tables 12 standing generally upright on the base 22. A ramp 40 is mounted to the base 22 or frame 26, reconfigurable between a transport condition clear of the ground and an operative condition contacting or almost contacting the ground for rolling the tables in turn, in a tilted position with rollers engaging the ramp to roll therealong, up the ramp 40 onto the base 22 or down the ramp 40 from the base 22. Frame 26 further comprises pivotal arms capable of projecting into the storage space for defining respective rest locations for the respective tables when they are standing generally upright on the base.
Dish stacking cart
A dish cart includes a top with a slot for receiving a lift arm that may be lifted up through the slot to raise or lower dishes. Lobe openings emanating from the slot receive lobes of a lift paddle secured to the lift arm. The cart may define a gap below the top for permitting insertion of the lift paddle and the lift arm. The cart may be adjusted to receive differently sized dishes by means of rails of different sizes or adjustable vanes. A dish drop station includes the lift arm and lift paddle and a lift mechanism for raising and lower the lift arm. The dish drop station may include a cart present sensor and include a lock for retaining the cart. The controller may be programmed to the lower the lift arm to an unlock position that disengages the cart lock.
Dolly assembly
A dolly assembly includes a dolly having an upper surface and a lower surface, and an aperture passing into at least the lower surface, and a ramp having an extension that extends beyond an edge of the ramp, the extension having at least one upward-facing ramp nub that, when positioned in the aperture, the ramp and the dolly are locked together as a unit.
Dish collection and dispensing system
A dish cart includes a top with a slot for receiving a lift arm that may be lifted up through the slot to raise or lower dishes. Lobe openings emanating from the slot receive lobes of a lift paddle secured to the lift arm. The cart may define a gap below the top for permitting insertion of the lift paddle and the lift arm. The cart may be adjusted to receive differently sized dishes by means of rails of different sizes or adjustable vanes. A dish drop station includes the lift arm and lift paddle and a lift mechanism for raising and lower the lift arm. The dish drop station may include a cart present sensor and include a lock for retaining the cart. The controller may be programmed to the lower the lift arm to an unlock position that disengages the cart lock.
MOBILE TRANSPORTER WITH SLIDABLE STABILIZER
A mobile transporter is provided. The transporter includes a lower frame structure, an upper frame structure, a plurality of posts coupled to the lower frame structure and the upper frame structure, a roller assembly provided on the lower frame structure, a panel that extends from and retracts into the transporter, and a wheel that supports the panel, when the panel is extended from the transporter between a second partially open state and a fully open state.
Detachable Tongue Apparatus and Method for Converting a Two-Wheeled Wheelbarrow into a Towable Cart
An apparatus and method for converting a two-wheeled wheelbarrow into a towable cart utilize a detachable towing tongue having a first end adapted for pivotable attachment to an axle of the wheelbarrow between the two wheels, a second end adapted for attachment to a towing vehicle, and a tongue body extending between the first and second ends. The tongue body defines an upper surface that includes a wheelbarrow intermediate support surface configured for engaging a lower surface of the wheelbarrow. In some forms, without detaching the hitch end of the tongue from the towing vehicle, the wheelbarrow may be selectively pivoted between a transport position of the wheelbarrow in which the lower surface of the wheelbarrow is supported by the intermediate support surface of the tongue, and a dump position whereat the lower surface of the wheelbarrow is pivoted away from the intermediate support surface of the tongue.
