Abstract:
An hydraulic wobble pump having an inlet passage extending inwardly from one end thereof through the central portion of said housing and opening into said wobble chamber. The inlet passage being arranged to admit hydraulic fluid to said wobble chamber substantially centrally between said cylinders so as to be substantially uniformly distributed to each cylinder in use.
Abstract:
A control system for controlling the direction of rotation of the reversible D.C. motor is provided which includes a master control circuit and a slave control circuit which is selectively operable. The control circuit permits the movement of the door to be arrested at any time and to be reversed at any time by operating the master control and allowing similar control by means of the slave control when it is activated.
Abstract:
A dump truck having a telescoping container body which is initially telescoped to a reduced length to discharge a portion of the load therefrom in response to the telescoping action and thereafter elevated to discharge the remainder of the load in the manner of a conventional dump truck. The fully extended length of the container body, which determines the load carrying capacity of the container body, is greater than that which would normally be elevated to directly discharge the load therefrom in the manner of a conventional dump truck. The retracted length of the container body is no greater than the acceptable length of a container body for elevating to dump a load in a conventional manner. The improvement in a dump truck consists of a container body which has a front section and a back section telescoped one within the other and a first drive mechanism associated with a front section for driving the front section longitudinally of the frame between the extended and retracted positions and a second drive mechanism associated with the back section for moving the back section from its lowered position to its elevated position to dump a load therefrom.
Abstract:
A roll-up door for a contained body of a van or the like is provided with a winch which is located in a compartment formed in the header of the door. The winch is connected by flexible winding straps to the upper door panel and the lower door panel so that it is operable to drive the door between the open and closed position. The door panels are hingedly connected by hinges in which the hinge pin is located at the inner face of the door. Flexible sealing members are connected to each jamb and bear against a marginal edge portion of the outer face of the door when the door is in the closed position. A control system for controlling the direction of rotation of the reversible D.C. motor is provided which includes a master control circuit and a slave control circuit which is selectively operable. The control circuit permits the movement of the door to be arrested at any time and to be reversed at any time by operating the master control and allowing similar control by means of the slave control when it is activated.
Abstract:
A multi-port valve comprises a valve seat skeleton and a valve body of readily castible material cast about the skeleton. The valve seat skeleton comprises a plurality of wear-resistant members each having a wear-resistant operative surface formed thereon. The wear-resistant members are secured to one another to retain the wear-resistant operative surfaces thereof in a predetermined fixed arrangement. The valve body has a plurality of valve passages formed therein, one for each valve port, at least one of said passages opening to expose each wear-resistant operative surface for engagement by a movable valve component mounted in each valve passage to bear against and move relative to each wear-resistant operative surface in use. The valve is manufactured securing a plurality of wear-resistant members to one another to form a valve seat skeleton on which the wear-resistant operative surfaces are arranged in a predetermined fixed relationship, and casting the valve body about said skeleton.
Abstract:
A load transfer device for transferring a portion of the load normally carried by the rear wheel sets of a dump truck to the front wheel sets of the dump truck. The device is in the form of a tag frame which is pivotably mounted on the tailgate of a dump truck so as to be movable between an elevated position in which the tag frame is disposed closely adjacent the tailgate and a lowered position in which the wheel set of the tag frame is in the current engaging position.

Abstract:
A telescopic truck body incorporating an ejection bulkhead. The telescopic truck body consists of two sections telescoped one within the other. A movable bulkhead is located within the inner section of the telescopic body and a drive means is provided for driving the bulkhead longitudinally of the inner section as the inner section is driven with respect to the outer section. The drive is adapted to move the bulkhead longitudinally of the inner section so that it is located adjacent the discharge end thereof when the inner section is fully telescoped within the outer section.

Abstract:
A light-weight elevator platform for a load elevator of a truck or the like has a plurality of light-weight floor boards mounted in a rectangular frame which has support rails which extend across the frame and are located between adjacent floor boards. Side edges of the floor boards are mounted in channels which are formed in the side edges of the frame and support rail members. The support rail members are releaseably secured to the frame member.
