Abstract:
Die erf indungsgemässe Schüttungswaage mit zwei Schwenkarmen (2), an deren freiem Ende sich zwei Lastaufnahmearme (8) befestigt sind, weist in den Schwenkarmen (2) je ein Loch (7) auf, welches quer zur Erstreckung des Schwenkarmes und ebenfalls quer zu seiner durch die Biegelast bewirkten neutralen Faser angebracht ist. In dieses Loch (7) ist ein Rohr (9) eingesetzt und damit verschweisst. Das Rohr (9) trägt quer zu seiner Längsachse zwei Sensoren (14, 15), welche untereinander einen Winkel von im Wesentlichen 90° einnehmen und gegenüber der Richtung der Schubspannungskomponenten τ xy in je einen Winkel von ± 45° angeordnet sind. Unter der Wirkung der Schubspannung verformt sich der Querschnitt des Rohres (9) zu einer um etwa 45° geneigten Ellipse, deren kürzere und längere Achse (11, 13) mit den Sensoren (14, 15) gemessen wird. Diese Sensoren (14, 15) weisen je zwei Krafteingänge (16, 17) auf, welche unter Vorspannung in geeignete Vertiefungen im Rohr (9) eingesetzt sind.
Abstract:
The collection of origin-sorted refuse which is placed in a refuse bin (4) can be carried out advantageously by means of a renovation truck according to the invention which can lift the bin and empty the refuse into separate chambers (10, 11) in a weighing receptacle (8), from which the separated refused is led down into the front part of a refuse container (1). The refuse container (1) is configured with compartments (18, 19) in which the refuse can be transported and compressed towards the rear. The emptying of the refuse bins (4) and the transport of the refuse can thus be carried out without any mixing of the refuse, and the emptying of the refuse from the refuse container (1) can be carried out by tipping the refuse container (1), which can be mounted on a vehicle provided either with a side lift (2, 3) or a front lift (23, 3).
Abstract:
A system (26) for determining and recording the location of a vehicle (10) during the occurrence of predetermined events. The vehicle (10) is equipped with one or more sensors (18, 24) which respond to the occurrence of the predetermined events. The sensors (18, 24) are connected to a navigational system (26) which receives positional information from a navigational transmitter. The navigational system (26) then computes the positional information, such as latitude and longitude of the vehicle (10), and stores this information in a data collector (28) on the vehicle (10). The date and time of day of the occurrence of the events may also be stored along with the positional information.
Abstract:
A modification apparatus to convert an existing front loading refuse collection truck so that the lifted container remains level until the container is near the load opening of the refuse collection body of the truck. A mounting plate is bolted to brackets added to an existing refuse collection body and provides multiple connection points for attachment of one end of a slave cylinder that is hinged at its other end to one of the main lift arms of the collection body. As the rod of the slave cylinder extends or retracts with the movement of the lift arm, hydraulic fluid from the slave cylinder passes to fork cylinders which retract or extend to control the orientation of the lifted container relative to the lift arms. The apparatus can be easily added to a variety of existing front loading collection bodies.

Abstract:
A refuse collection vehicle (20) for loading, compacting, transporting and ejecting refuse materials is disclosed including a hollow refuse storage enclosure (22) having a forward refuse receiving opening, and a rear refuse discharge opening closed by a tailgate (32). A generally full width charging hopper (24) is located forward of the storage enclosure for receiving refuse from refuse containers, the charging hopper having sidewalls (46) and a floor and being in communication with the storage enclosure. A variable stroke followerless packer-ejector panel mechanism (40) is provided to move refuse materials to the sweep charging hopper, pack the refuse materials into the storage enclosure and fully eject the refuse materials from the storage enclosure. The truck body accommodates one or more container handling devices selected from narrow profile side-loading and front-loading container handling devices or a combination thereof for emptying containers into the charging hopper. A control system is provided for controlling the stroke operation of the packer-ejector panel in relation to the container handling device (42) and eliminate the need for a follower regardless of collection container density.
Abstract:
A multiple compartment storage body (1118) for a refuse collection vehicle includes a floor (1180); a roof (1184); a plurality of walls (1182, 1186) extending between the floor (1180) and the roof (1184), a partition (1220) and a bulkhead latch (1250). The partition (1220) has a first opposing end portion (1227) pivotally coupled intermediate the floor (1180) and the roof (1184) between the walls (1182, 1186) to allow a second opposing end portion (1228) to pivot between the floor (1180) and the roof (1184). The partition (1220) is supported at a plurality of distances between the floor (1180) and the roof (1184). The bulkhead latch (1250) is pivotally supported adjacent the roof (1184) and extends from the roof (1184) proximate the second opposing end portion (1228). The bulkhead latch (1250) includes a plurality of sections (1252, 1254, 1256) removably coupled to one another. Sections above the lower most section (1256) may be removed to adjust a vertical length of the bulkhead (1250).
Abstract:
An automated device for lifting and loading materials employs a pick-up arm (32) for engaging material at ground level and an associated, inverted U-shaped lift arm (40). The pick-up arm (32) can be swung relative to the lift arm about a vertical axis (148) to bring the pick-up arm (32) into a close-in position in front of a cab and into an outreaching position. The pick-up arm (32) is automatically moved into the outreaching position as the lift arm (40) moves toward a ground-level load position and is automatically moved into the close-in position as the lift arm (40) moves toward the off-load level above ground to facilitate off-loading operations above ground. When moved closer toward the off-load position, the pick-up arm (32) is automatically vertically tipped to facilitate off-loading operations. During off-loading operations, the vertical height of the container (30) and lift arm assembly (40) is minimized through the use of a dump link and associated four-bar linkage.
