摘要:
A turf cutter device, an infill extractor/collector device, and a turf wind-up device are used to facilitate the cost-effective removal of an infilled synthetic turf and the subsequent installation of a new turf at the same site, with minimal subsurface disruption. An infill extractor/collector device mounted on a motorized vehicle moves a relatively narrow strip of filled artificial turf from the surface, in front of the vehicle, and directs the strip to an infill removal station. The infill removal station inverts the strip and redirects the strip back toward the front of the vehicle, after agitating the strip to extract the infill. After redirecting the strip toward the front of the vehicle, the vehicle drives over the unfilled strip. Meanwhile, the extractor/collector device moves the extracted infill rearwardly to a bag located in a trailer. The turf cutter device is used prior to infill extraction, while the turf wind up device may be used before or after infill extraction, depending on whether infill extraction takes place at the field or at a remote site, respectively.

A movable bumper device mounted to the interior of a truck bed. The bumper device is capable of sliding from the front end of the truck bed (proximate the cab of the truck) to the rear end of the truck bed (proximate the tailgate). The current invention includes tracks mounted to the bottom surface of a truck bed. The bumper portion of the invention is mounted to those tracks by a track mounting system. By translating the bumper device towards the rear end of the truck, the device forces contents contained within the truck bed towards the rear end of the truck.

A trailer for transporting bulk material has a container mounted on a chassis and wheeled suspension. The container has opposing sidewalls, a floor, a front wall, and a rear opening. The trailer further has an unloading system comprising a plow and a plow motor system. The plow is disposed in the container and shaped and sized to span substantially a transverse cross-section of the container. The plow motor system is operable to move the plow longitudinally in the container to urge or push the bulk material in the container toward and out of the rear opening of the container. At least one of the sidewalls comprises a removable panel installed longitudinally along a bottom of the sidewall, wherein an inward-facing surface of the removable panel and an inward-facing surface of the sidewall are substantially coplanar.

A system and method for supporting a conveyor of a seed tender so that it can be more easily repositioned between unloading and loading positions. The conveyor may be supported by a coupling that includes a motor. The motor may engage a sprocket or gear to assist the conveyor in moving between the unloading and loading positions. Thus, an operator may move the conveyor to a desired position with less effort.

The present invention provides folding assisting arm assembly for lift gates. In one embodiment, the folding assisting arm assembly comprises a folding assisting apparatus for a lift gate having a platform with a foldable section. The apparatus comprises an elongated arm, and a pivot axle, wherein a proximal end of the elongated arm is pivotably mounted on the pivot axle. The apparatus further comprises a spring for spring loading the elongated arm. When the folding assisting apparatus is mounted on the lift gate proximate the platform, a biasing tension in the spring urges a distal end of the elongated arm on the foldable section of the lift platform during a portion of movement of the lift platform to maintain the foldable section folded.

A loading apparatus is disclosed that is coupleable to an engine-powered, wheeled machine, such as a snow blower or lawnmower, to aid in lifting the machine onto and off of raised platforms and up and down stairs. The loading apparatus includes a handle assembly having a first arm and a second arm, a first side support member having a first end sized to receive the first arm, and a second side support member having a first end sized to receive the second arm. The apparatus also includes attachment brackets coupled to respective upper portions of the first and second side support members, and attachment brackets coupled to respective lower portions of the first and second side support members. The first and second arms of the handle assembly slidably engage the first and second side support members and are moveable therein between a retracted position and an extended position.

A cargo holding apparatus for securing cargo in a pickup truck cargo bed and facilitating unloading of the cargo is provided. The apparatus has a holding element, a pair of straps each attachable to a respective support member of the holding element, and a pair of clamping members attached to a left side wall and a right side wall of the cargo bed, respectively, at a position adjacent to a rear wall of the cargo bed. Each strap is fed through a respective clamping member. The clamping member securely holds the strap when in an engaged aspect and allows the strap to slide unrestricted when in a disengaged aspect.

A cargo restraining barrier configured to be mounted to a cargo deck surface of an aircraft. The cargo restraining barrier includes a base portion, a barrier portion arranged substantially perpendicular to the base portion at a first edge on the top side of the base portion, a plurality of force diverting struts mounted in parallel along the extension of the barrier portion between a backside of the barrier portion and a second edge of the base portion opposite to the first edge of the base portion. The force diverting struts are configured to divert forces acting on the front side of the barrier portion towards the base portion, and a plurality of first latches distributed over the bottom side of the base portion, hooking into tie down rings of a cargo deck surface and to direct the diverted forces from the force diverting struts into the cargo deck surface.
