DEWAR TIPPER
Method, system, apparatus, and/or device for tipping or pouring a dewar into another receptacle. The dewar tipping system includes a first dewar. The first dewar is configured to store a liquid or gas. The dewar tipping system includes a dewar tipper with a cradle. The cradle is configured to capture the first dewar. The dewar tipper includes a counter balance assembly that is configured to tip or angle the cradle to pour a liquid or gas out of the first dewar. The dewar tipper includes a handle. The handle is configured to activate the counter balance assembly when in an engaged position. The dewar tipping system includes one of a second dewar or a catch basin. The one of the second dewar or the catch basin receives the liquid or gas when the first dewar is angled or inverted.
CRATE TRANSPORTER
Items such as loaves of bread are typically held for transport in a plastic crate. Often such crates are stacked on one another in a factory-bakery, a warehouse, a freight vehicle or a retail outlet. It can be problematic move stacked crates as lifting machinery is often not able to adequately hold on to them. If they are not held securely then crates may drop from the stack, which is inconvenient, not to mention a safety hazard. An object of a preferred form of the invention to address this problem by way of a crate lifter 1 comprising a main support mast 3, a carriage 8 engaged with the mast and rollers 6, 7 that enable the lifter to be moved. The carriage has clamps 9 adapted to move laterally with respect to the mast 3 to grip one or more crates 2 so that the crate(s) can be moved by the carriage up and down the mast. The carriage has a keeper 14 arranged such that it is caused to swing in response to the clamps 9 engaging the crate 2, or the lowest crate to be moved if there is more than one, to bring a ledge 14b of the keeper 14 into engagement with that crate to prevent it dropping free from the carriage.
Dolly with automated height adjustment
A dolly includes an actuated platform and obstruction sensor as well as a camera and a depth sensor. The eye height of a user is determined according to outputs of the camera and depth sensor. The platform is then moved to an elbow height determined based on the eye height and the depth sensor is moved to a position above the platform. In response to detecting obstruction of the obstruction sensor, the platform is lowered. Upon completion of loading, the platform is lowered to a lowest position. A stand may be retracted upon lowering of the platform to its lowest position.
Liner with lifting cradle
A liner (10) includes a liner base (11) and a cradle (12) which is used in conjunction with a conventional intermediate bulk container (13). The liner base has a bottom wall (15), a top wall (16) opposite the bottom wall, and four side walls (17) extending between the bottom wall and top wall. The four side walls include a front wall (18), a rear wall (19), and two oppositely disposed end walls (20). The top wall includes a top opening fitment (22). The front wall includes a dispensing opening fitment (23). The liner lifting cradle includes a bottom panel (26), two oppositely disposed end panels (27), and a rear panel (28). The end panels have an elongated terminal end (30) which includes a reinforced mounting hole (32). The rear panel has an elongated terminal end (34) which includes a grommet (35) defining a reinforced mounting hole (36).
Cradle assembly for supporting a door of an aircraft to facilitate servicing the door, and arrangements and methods for the same
Cradle assemblies for supporting a door of an aircraft to facilitate servicing the door, and arrangements and methods for the same are provided. In one example, a cradle assembly includes a base and a cradle support subassembly pivotably coupled to the base. The cradle support subassembly is configured to support an outer section of the door.
HANDCART
A handcart may include a frame; a drive wheel rotatably supported by the frame about a rotation axis extending in a right-left direction; a prime mover configured to rotate the drive wheel; a bracket pivotably supported by the frame about a pivot axis extending in an up-down direction; and a non-drive wheel supported by the bracket about a rotation axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The non-drive wheel may include a first non-drive wheel and a second non-drive wheel, and the first non-drive wheel and the second non-drive wheel may be configured to be rotatable independent of each other.
HANDCART
A handcart may include a chassis unit and a container unit configured to be detachably attached to the chassis unit. The chassis unit may include a front wheel unit rotatably supporting a front wheel; a rear wheel unit rotatably supporting a rear wheel; a chassis frame extending in a front-rear direction and supporting the front and rear wheel units; and a prime mover configured to rotate at least one of the front wheel and the rear Wheel as a drive wheel. The container unit may be selected from a group including at least a first container unit and a second container unit. The first container unit may include a first container and a first container frame extending in the front-rear direction and supporting the first container, The second container unit may include a second container and a second container frame extending in the front-rear direction and supporting the second container.
Toilet lift apparatus
A toilet lift apparatus for removing and installing toilets includes a base having a left side slidably engageable with a right side. An attachment bar is coupled to the base. A pair of supports is coupled to the base and a cantilever is coupled to the pair of supports. The cantilever selectively engages with a toilet and pivots on the pair of supports to lift and alternatively lower the toilet. A ratchet assembly is coupled to the cantilever to pull in, or alternatively push out, each of the left arm and the right arm. A latch bar is coupled to the ratchet assembly and extends down past the attachment bar. The latch bar has a plurality of hooks with each of the plurality of hooks being selectively engageable with the attachment bar.
HANDCART
A handcart may include a drive wheel; a prime mover configured to rotate the drive wheel; a grip portion configured to be gripped by a user; and a visibly noticeable portion that is clearly noticeable from behind the user when the user stands behind the handcart, gripping the grip portion.
QUICK CHANGE CHAMBER FOR MILLING MACHINE
A milling machine can include a frame; a milling assembly including a drum housing; and a connecting assembly for mounting the drum housing to the frame, the connecting assembly including: a mounting member on one of the frame or the drum housing; and a locking mechanism fixed to the other one of the frame or the drum housing, the locking mechanism including a rotatable angled-plane pin configured to connect to the mounting member.
