In one embodiment, the dolly has two side rail units, each with a lower and an upper bar; four wheel arms with attached wheels extending from the ends of the side rails, at least two of which are pivotally attached; front and rear cross members disposed between the ends of the side rail units; and two or more intermediate cross members transversing between the lower bars, thereby providing a slatted load bed positioned at or below the axles of the wheels, and wherein the front cross member is removable such that a load may be moved over an open pit with the wheels astride the pit, the load lifted from the bed, the front cross member removed, and the dolly rolled from underneath the load thereby leaving the load suspended over the pit. | 04-02-2015 |

20160060941 | Coaxially Extending Arm for Door Closing Operator - An arm for connecting a mounting foot to a motor in a door closer system having two segments between which a junction is formed that allows the segments low-friction coaxially-restricted extension and retraction motions relative to each other. A motor shaft connection at the attachment end of the first arm segment transmits rotational force from a shaft of a door closer motor, and a mounting foot at the opposite end of the second arm segment communicates the rotational force from the first arm segment to the mounting foot. | 03-03-2016 |
