Abstract: A lifter is disclosed which allows for an improved operating envelope of the faceplate. The lifter utilizes a motor having 210 degrees of rotation and lifting arms of a unique geometry to rotate a faceplate from a retracted position below and substantially behind the lifter baseplate to a dumping position above and substantially behind a lower hopper edge for the purpose of dumping refuse carts into a refuse collection vehicle. This dumps refuse further into the vehicle hopper, which minimizes the number of packing cycles required on a collection route. A faceplate is attached to the motor using two lifting arms. The faceplate has a fixed upper hook and a sliding, retractable lower hooking mechanism. This sliding hook feature makes the lifter more compact when retracted and improves ground clearance when the lifter is mounted on the rear of a rear-loading refuse collection vehicle. Longer lifting arms may be substituted to allow for use of the lifter with a side-loading refuse collection vehicle.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种能够改善面板操作范围的升降机。 升降机利用具有210度旋转的电动机和具有独特几何形状的提升臂，以将面板从提升器底板下方并且基本上在升降器底板之后的缩回位置旋转到位于下料斗边缘上方并且基本上在下料斗边缘的倾倒位置，以便倾倒垃圾 推车进垃圾车。 这将垃圾进一步转移到车辆料斗中，这最大限度地减少了收集路线上所需的包装循环次数。 使用两个提升臂将面板连接到电机。 面板有一个固定的上钩和一个滑动，可伸缩的下钩机构。 这种滑动钩特征使得当收起时升降机更紧凑，并且当升降机安装在后装垃圾车辆的后部时改善离地间隙。 较长的提升臂可以被替代以允许使用具有侧装垃圾收集车辆的升降机。

Abstract: An apparatus moves a plurality of transport media along a path of travel. The plurality of transport media define at least two groups of transport media, where each group of transport media has substantially identical transverse dimensions with respect to one another within one group of transport media, while having substantially different transverse dimensions with respect to another group of transport media. The apparatus includes a plurality of rollers rotatably mounted in fixed locations spaced along a path of travel. At least one motor is provided for driving at least one of the rollers in rotation. At least one transport media is supported on the rollers for movement along the path of travel in response to rotation of the roller by the motor. Each transport media has at least one elongate support member continuously engageable with at least two rollers simultaneously while the transport media moves along the path of travel. A lift workstation can be located along the path of travel for transferring a workpiece carried by one transport media to another transport media.

Abstract: A refuse collection apparatus is adapted to grab and lift a refuse container, dump the contents thereof into a collection bin, and return the container to its original location. The apparatus includes a container grab assembly which includes a pair of opposed grabbing arms that are aligned in spaced relationship and operable by a fluid-operated actuating system to grab and release a container. The apparatus also includes an articulated, moveable arm assembly that is operable by a fluid-operated actuating system through an operating cycle that includes retracted, extended, lifting and dumping positions. The arm assembly includes a base link that is mounted adjacent to the collection bin and an upper link having a first end and a second end. The apparatus also includes a reach link also having a first end and a second end. The first end of the reach link is pivotally attached to the base and the second end of the reach link is pivotally attached to the upper link at an intermediate position between the first end and the second end. The apparatus also includes a lift arm having a first end and a second end. The first end of the lift arm is pivotally attached to the grab assembly and the second end of the lift arm is pivotally attached to the first end of the upper link. The arm assembly of the apparatus is designed to balance the mass of the apparatus during the operating cycle while balancing actuation of the actuators employed therein to allow for effective cushioning at the ends of the stroke of each actuator.

Abstract: A self-adapting refuse receptacle lift has a carriage for raising and dumping the contents of a refuse receptacle into a collection load box or refuse gathering vehicle. The carriage is carried on extending arms, the rotation of which may be controlled with a hydraulic or other powered drive device. The carriage includes attachments comprising a pair of moveable clamp arms. The clamp arms have self-adapting features so that a variety of receptacles of different sizes and shapes may be lifted by the apparatus. Sequencing elements rotate the clamp arms down from a vertical stored position into a horizontal position for clamping a receptacle to be dumped. Then, the entire carriage is raised for inverting and dumping and the contents of the receptacle, and then reverse operations follow, whereby the clamp arms return to an upright stored vertical position to be out of the way during the movement of a refuse collecting vehicle.
