Bifold door with spherical bearing and pin
A bifold door includes a first hinge and a second hinge configured to rotatably couple the bifold door to a doorframe. The bifold door includes a slider configured to slide within a track of the doorframe as the bifold door is opened and closed. At least one of the first hinge, the second hinge, and the slider includes a spherical bearing and a pin.
Live well
The live well lid system may comprise a lid, a hinge, a motor, a lift arm, a lid track, and a local foot control. The live well lid system may be a system for covering and uncovering a live well of a boat by pivoting the lid of the live well responsive to input from the local foot control. The live well lid system may be adapted for a user to pivot the lid by operating the local foot control located proximate to the live well without diverting the attention of the user or requiring use of the user's hands. In some embodiments, a remote foot control may be a secondary control located at a remote location on the boat.
SLIDING DOOR WITH BRAKING SYSTEM
A sliding door assembly includes a door frame with a top trim member, a bottom sill, and side jambs connected between the top trim member and the bottom sill, and a primary sliding panel secured in the door frame. The top trim member includes a track configured to support a weight of the primary sliding panel and prevent the primary sliding panel from coming off the track. Other features include an interlock mechanism to limit relative movement using multiple sliding doors and a brake mechanism to secure the doors in position when the door handle is released. A drop window includes features to accommodate for manufacturing tolerances and box frame assemblies that are out of square.
Barge lid grain door opening apparatus
An apparatus is disclosed for opening and closing a grain or access door on a barge lid or cover, the grain door having a latch connecting the grain door to the barge lid, the apparatus supportable by an overhead lifting system. The apparatus can include a base which is supportable by the overhead lifting system and a mechanical arm assembly connected to the base, the mechanical arm assembly including a first arm rotatably connected to the base, a second arm connected to the first arm, a latch engagement member connected to the second arm; and an actuator connected between the first arm and the second arm, the actuator operable to move the second arm relative to the first arm to disengage the latch on the grain door from the barge lid via the latch engagement member and swing the grain door from a closed position to an open position.
HIGH SPEED BIMINI TOP CANVAS
A bimini top includes a framework and a canopy secured to the framework. The canopy is formed of a mesh material. The mesh material allows air to flow through the canopy to limit the stresses to the connected structure at high speed. The bimini top may secure a removable and reversible secondary canopy or cover that can provide rain and sun protection under the mesh canopy or may extend forward of the bimini frame when not subjected to high speeds.
Sliding Cover Assembly for a Vehicle, in Particular for a Waterborne Vehicle
A sliding cover assembly for a vehicle, in particular a waterborne vehicle, the sliding cover assembly having a cover element displaceable between a closed position, in which a roof opening is closed, and an open position, in which the roof opening is at least partially open, and a displacement mechanism for the cover element, the displacement mechanism having a slider on either side of a longitudinal center plane of the cover element, each slider being guided in a sliding manner in a respective guide rail attached to the roof, and a raising lever connected to the cover element being hinged to each slider. The sliders each have a slider body and a control element which is mounted on the slider body in such a manner that it can rotate about an axis of rotation and to which the respective raising lever is hinged eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation.
Motorized slide system for manipulating a component of a boat
A slide system includes a component assembly, a track system, a floor panel, and a below-deck cavity. The track system is coupled at least indirectly to the component assembly for guiding movement of the component assembly along a path. The floor panel includes an upper surface. The below-deck cavity is disposed below the floor panel. The component assembly is located substantially above the floor panel. The track system is located within the below deck cavity and below the upper surface.
