The present invention relates to a tray for carrying a plurality of pallets loaded with several concrete blocks. The tray is a rectangular frame defining an upper surface, front and rear ends and upwardly-projecting flanges at both front and rear ends. The tray is adapted to receive the loaded pallets on its upper surface between the flanges. The invention further relates to a system adapted to carry the loaded tray through a block curing kiln. The kiln is composed of a plurality of longitudinal cells, as is already known, and the pallet-loaded trays are inserted in a consecutive linear abutment fashion in the cells. The relatively high flanges of each tray thus abut on one another, which prevents the overlapping of the trays, and thus prevents the damaging in this way of the concrete blocks. The system for carrying the concrete blocks includes a kiln, a tray loader for loading the pallets on the trays and a tray stripper for unloading them, an elevator-pusher for loading the trays in the kiln and an elevator-puller for unloading them, and a pallet stripper. The system further includes a pallet conveyor for conveying the pallets sequentially from the tray stripper to the pallet stripper, to a molding machine and to the tray loader. The system also includes a tray conveyor for conveying the trays sequentially from the elevator-puller to the tray stripper, to the tray loader and to the elevator-pusher.

This telescopic tube is formed of a first and of a second continuous bands wound in a spiral and in a helix, respectively, with the turns of each band lying flat against each other in the retracted position of the tube. The turns of the respective bands are normal to one another. To extend the tube, the turns of the first band are spaced from each other, and the turns of the second band are inserted between the spaced turns of the first band, so as to act as spacers for the latter turns. A mechanism is described to cause extension and retraction of the tube which is mainly used as a push actuator.

A battens system for raising and lowering sceneries or other loads on a stage is disclosed. The system comprises a support, a roller upon which at least one cable supporting a scenery is wound, a bearing assembly secured to the support for rotatably mounting the roller and including inclined bearings for longitudinally moving such roller at each turn by a distance equal to the pitch of the cable wound on or unwound from the roller, and a drive for rotating such roller.

The push actuator has a fixed base which rotatably carries a selectively rotatable rotor. A horizontal band has a lower portion stacked in a helical pattern and has an upper portion engaged by the upper portion of a vertical band, to form a telescopic column. The lower portion of the vertical band is stacked in a spiral, separately from the horizontal band, the horizontal band is supported on the rotor with a helical ball support track along which a number of balls can roll and slide, to allow substantially frictionless rotation of the rotor member while the horizontal band remains rotatably stationary. A ball re-circulation unit allows the balls to circulate between the top of the track and the bottom of the track. Upon rotation of the rotor, the vertical column is formed by the horizontal band being lifted and its turns being spaced through its engagement on the rotating helical ball support track, and by each turn of the vertical band being inserted between two vertically successive turns of the horizontal band.

A conveyor conveys palletized articles to a loading dock. A bogie movable along rails between different loading docks, supports an independently movable carriage, which may roll out of the bogie once the latter reaches a desired loading dock. The carriage then loads with a forklift provided on the carriage, the articles from the conveyor into a semi-trailer located at the loading dock. The carriage is provided with a linkage pivotally installed on its main frame, the linkage carrying four lateral guide wheels which protrude laterally beyond all other structural elements of the carriage. The linkage integrally links the guide wheels into a common pivotal displacement, with the guide wheels remaining symmetrically disposed relative to the carriage frame. A hydraulic piston biases the guide wheels towards an outer limit position at all times, and the guide wheels are forcibly pivotable, against the bias of the piston, towards an inner limit position. The bogie carrying the carriage is provided with fixed lateral railings, and with pivotable gates which may be pivoted into an opened condition when the bogie is in facing register with the loading dock, until the gates outer free end portions abut against the inner side walls of the semi-trailer. Thus, continuous side panels are formed on each side of the carriage, by the railings, gates and semi-trailer side walls. The carriage may then move between the bogie and semi-trailer with its guide wheels continuously engaging the side panels, for allowing the carriage to self-align and self-center itself into the semi-trailer due to the bias on the linkage of the piston while article loading and unloading operations are accomplished.

There is disclosed a disc brake for a fluid-operated motor; the brake includes a disc keyed to the output shaft of the motor and sandwiched between non-rotatable plates which are spring-biased to disc braking position. The flexible conduit, which feeds the fluid to the motor, extends between the two plates. When fluid in the conduit is not pressurized, the conduit is flattened and the brake is in braking position, but the brake is released as soon as the fluid is pressurized within the conduit, since the latter takes its normally cylindrical shape and separates the two plates.

A removable seats system includes a number of vertically movable platforms supported by a platform support and displacement device which engages the platforms and which positions the platforms in a horizontally successively spaced configuration defining a gap between each two successive platforms having selective independent vertical displacement of the platforms. The removable seats system further includes a number of seat elements each associated with a corresponding platform and each including: a row of seats including at least one seat; and a seat supporting structure carried by a platform and supporting the row of seats. Each one of the seat members is movable relative to its corresponding platform between an operative position in which the row of seats is located above its corresponding platform, and a concealed position in which the row of seats is located under a platform.

A storage rack is loaded and unloaded from the top with pallets carrying articles to be stored in and retrieved from the rack. The rack consists of a series of spaced columns arranged in parallel rows defining wells accessible from the top; the columns have vertically spaced, upwardly facing sets of steps protruding to an equal extent towards the centre of the wells. A crane is horizontally movable over the rack and stoppable above a selected well; it has a hoisting block which can be lowered between and guided by the columns of the selected well; a pair of hooks are pivoted to the hoisting block for movement towards and away from each other between opened and closed position; a pair of Z-shaped pallet holding beams adapted to carry a series of pallets aligned in end to end relation are suspended from the hooks and clear the steps when in closed position. When the desired set of steps is reached, the hooks are opened causing spreading apart of the top portion of the Z beams to allow their hooking unto these steps. The reverse operation is effected for unloading. The hooks can handle the Z beams to pick up the aligned pallets from and deposit them onto a supporting surface. The system is particularly designed for loading green concrete blocks into and unloading cured concrete blocks from a curing kiln housing the rack. Preferably, the green blocks are left in the stored position between the columns of the kiln just to attain sufficient compressive strength; they are then unloaded and directly stacked on the floor beside the rack within the kiln with the intermediary only of the pallets for completion of the curing process in the kiln; thus the number of columns and Z beams can be decreased without reducing the effective curing capacity of the kiln. Also, the provision of a Z beams accumulating device is no longer required.
