20090294625 | Cradle arrangement - It is necessary to support and manipulate such bulky items as gas turbine engines through appropriate cradle arrangements. It is necessary to allow robust presentation of the gas turbine engine upon a base such that it can be lifted to a position whereby the engine can be rotated to adjust the configuration of the engine within an arrangement. Such manipulation may minimize height or width dependent upon requirements. By provision of lever assemblies comprising lever arms linked together through a pivot link and a cross link rotation by an actuator of one assembly gives consistent presentation of the locator elements defining a centre of rotation for the engine. The arrangement can be locked in a lowered condition for transportation or lifted to allow rotation and re-orientation of the engine with regard to external protuberances to limit width or height. | 12-03-2009 |
20100065714 | CHOCK APPARATUS - An apparatus for supporting a motorcycle in an upright position. The apparatus includes a base and a wheel stop coupled thereto. A cradle is pivotably coupled to the base and includes a pair of clamp members slidably coupled thereto. The pair of clamp members are biased away from each other. In other embodiments, a chock apparatus and a method of holding a motorcycle in an upright, stable position using a chock apparatus are provided. | 03-18-2010 |
20100327144 | Agricultural Implement Having Apparatus For Stowing PTO Driveline Shaft When The PTO Driveline Shaft Is Not In Use - A power take off (PTO) driveline shaft of an agricultural implement may be securely stowed when not in use using a PTO driveline storage device. The storage device is pivotably mounted to the frame of the agricultural implement, such as the hitch, and may be rotated from its own stowed position to a position to provide support for the PTO driveline shaft when the PTO driveline shaft is not connected to the PTO of a tractor or other machine having a PTO output. The storage device includes an arm having a first end that is mounted to the hitch and has a second end that is adapted to fit against the PTO driveline shaft when the device is being used to stow the PTO driveline shaft. When not in use, the storage device may be rotated clear of the PTO driveline shaft and pivoted to a position where it may be securely stowed. | 12-30-2010 |
20120138768 | LOAD-BEARING PLATE AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING A BULKY DEVICE OF MEDICAL ENGINEERING AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A LOAD BEARING PLATE - The invention relates to a load-bearing plate for supporting a bulky device of medical engineering, especially a magnetic resonance imaging device. Said load-bearing plate comprises a flat hollow body which is filled with a high-density filler, said filler being cast to give a rigid composite by means of a solidified casting compound and the hollow body as well as the filler and the casting material consist of a non-magnetic material. The invention further relates to a method for producing a load-bearing plate of the above type and to a method for supporting a bulky device of medical engineering. | 06-07-2012 |

20140191105 | ENGINE CRADLE WITH DEFLECTOR DEVICE - A cradle for mounting an engine in a vehicle has left and right side members, and a rear cross member and front cross member extending between the left and right side members. The cradle has left and right front body mounts. Left and right deflector devices are mounted respectively on the cradle adjacent the left and right body mounts and forwardly of the vehicle wheels. Each of the left and right deflector devices including an impact receiving member that projects outwardly and rearwardly from the cradle to receive an impact load offset outboard from the body mounts. Each impact receiving member has an upper and lower sheet metal shell providing a top wall welded to a top wall of the cradle and a bottom wall welded to the bottom wall of the cradle, and a front impact receiving wall extending vertically between the top wall and the bottom wall. | 07-10-2014 |
