20150074938 | Hydraulic Fluid Flow Management System and Method - A hydraulic fluid flow management system and method includes three subsystems. The first subsystem is an engine mounted hydraulic fluid pump electrically operated flow control proportioning valve combination. The second subsystem is a hydraulic fluid flow distribution manifold assembly. The third subsystem is a computer operated controller and display which governs the operation of the electrically operated flow control proportioning valve combination. | 03-19-2015 |
20150047914 | System and Method for Operating a Large Single Engine Sweeper - A system and method for operating a large single engine sweeper includes a two-mode transfer case assembly inserted into the chassis drive train of the vehicle on which a package of sweeping equipment is mounted. In road mode operation, power from the chassis engine passes through a chassis automatic transmission, through a two-mode transfer case assembly to the differential and real wheel assembly. In sweep mode, power passes from a propel hydraulic motor into the two-mode transfer case assembly and then to the differential and real wheel assembly. | 02-19-2015 |
20140069249 | Section Knife - A section knife is formed from a blank having the perimeter of a truncated generally isosceles triangle. Each angled side of the truncated generally isosceles triangle includes a plurality of substantially semi-circular channels. The long axis of each substantially semi-circular channel is substantially parallel to the base of the truncated generally isosceles triangle. The top of the substantially semi-circular channel intersects the front surface of the section knife. The bottom of the substantially semi-circular channel intersects the back surface of the section knife. A cutting edge is formed at the intersection of the substantially semi-circular channel and the back surface of the section knife. | 03-13-2014 |
20140053681 | GEARBOX WITH SIGHT WINDOW - A gearbox for an engine-driven mechanism comprises a gearbox housing having opposing walls. A first bearing bore is defined in one of the opposing walls and adapted for receiving an input shaft. A second bearing bore is defined in the other opposing wall and aligned with the first bearing bore. Each bearing bore mounts a bearing for supporting the input shaft which extends through the first bearing bore and into the gearbox. The second bearing bore includes an associated transparent and/or translucent lens to define a sight window for monitoring the level of oil in the gearbox. A sight window of this nature is particularly well suited for retrofitting older gearboxes which lack a sight window. | 02-27-2014 |
