20090245937 | Break-away material retainer for paving vehicles - A material anti-segregation device is for a paving vehicle including a tractor, a screed for forming a mat of paving material on a base surface, and an auger. The anti-segregation device includes a plurality of flexible, elongated barrier members each coupled with the tractor and collectively defining a curtain. The curtain is configured to generally retain paving material between the curtain and the screed. A plurality of couplers are each configured to connect at least a portion of a separate one of the barrier members with the tractor. Each coupler alternatively disconnects the barrier member or portion from the tractor when tension in the connected member exceeds a predetermined value so as to prevent damage to the tractor. As each barrier member is connected with either a portion or component of the tractor, the predetermined tension value is less than a failure limit of the tractor portion or component. | 10-01-2009 |

20090058102 | ELECTROMECHANICAL PUSH TO CLOSE LATCH - An electromechanical push to close latch has a pawl positioned for linear movement in a housing, with the pawl being biased to the outward extended position. An electric motor operates a cam to change the position of the pawl thereby retracting it into the housing. An electronic circuit board controls the operation of the electric motor under the direction of an outside control signal. The circuit board also senses the position of the pawl to stop the operation of the motor when the pawl is fully retracted. The pawl mounting can be reconfigured for the pawl to extend and thereby operate in a plurality of selectable directions. | 03-05-2009 |
