Abstract:
A squeegee blade includes a mounting plate with a surface. A relatively rigid support member is attached to the surface of the mounting plate and a relatively flexible blade is attached to the surface of the mounting plate adjacent to the support member so that the blade is supported by the support member against compression toward the mounting plate.
Abstract:
A method of constructing and making a squeegee blade includes forming a mounting plate with support members attached to a surface of the mounting plate. Forming a flexible blade and securing the flexible blade to the surface of the mounting plate with the support members embedded so that the flexible blade is supported by the support members against compression toward the mounting plate.
Abstract:
A solid rubber tire with a flexible drive hub having a multiplicity of hub ribs and grooves formed around the periphery of the flexible drive hub and a solid rubber tire tread replaceably mounted on the flexible drive hub having a multiplicity of interior tread grooves and ribs formed around an interior surface of the tire tread, the tread grooves and ribs sized and shaped for interlocking engagement witht he multiplicity of ribs and grooves formed around the periphery of the flexible drive hub.
Abstract:
A solid rubber tire for use on vehicles such as heavy construction equipment is provided with a plurality of layers of different hardness. One of the layers is relatively softer than the other layers and holes are formed at least partially into the tire to provide added flexibility and smoothness of ride to the solid rubber tire.
