Abstract: A vehicle lift (L), as for  wheelchairs,    incorporates a horizontally disposed load platform (P) pivotally affixed to a laterally spaced-apart parallelogram elevating frame (E) which is in turn pivotally affixed to a carriage (C), allowing a composite travelling assembly (platform (P), elevating frame (E) and carriage (C)) to be stowed in a mounting enclosure (M). Alternatively, the parallelogram mechanism may be geometrically unequal to vary the level of the platform (P) with movement. A hydraulic ram (40) actuates the parallelogram elevating frame (E) mechanisms to position the platform (P) at different terminal positions, i.e. ground level, vehicle floor level and stowing level. At the stowing level, a pair of laterally spaced-apart rack-and-pinion mechanisms (100, 102, 104, 106) actuate the aligned platform (P), elevating frame (E) and carriage inboard, on laterally opposed guide rails (56, 58) to be stowed in a mounting enclosure (M). Alternatively, the mounting enclosure (M) may be attached to the vehicle (V) in a horizontally offset position by shaping the guide rails (56, 58). An electrical system is manually actuated to attain various movements; however, a switching mechanism provides overriding safety control, and for stowage, automatically actuates the hydraulic ram (40) to attain the aligned stowing level. A ball detent clutch drive (118) provides audible protection against overloading and injury to personnel. A roll stop mechanism (R) is affixed to the outboard end of the platform (P) and is automatically actuated to move from a ramp position at ground level to a vertical safety stop position when the platform (P) is elevated. A bridge plate mechanism (B) is affixed to the inboard end of the platform (P) to bridge the gap between the platform (P) and the vehicle (V) at vehicle floor level yet function as a vertical safety barrier at all other platform positions.

Title: Dry grader for very fine coal
Inventor: MEYER PHILLIPPUS JACOBUS
IPC: B07B1/10
Filed: 1994-07-19
Abstract: A highly efficient dry sorter (1) for continuous operation has a conveyor belt cover (4) with longitudinal grooves, with the corresponding conveyor surface arranged obliquely in such a way that the coarser coal runs off over the grooves while the finest coal or substance remains in them. It is thus possible for the finest coal to be extracted from the top while the coarser granules are removed by the lower longitudinal side. The belt conveyor (2) is given the necessary permanent tilt by the fact that to the underside (16) of the conveyor belt cover (4) are allocated edge supporting strips (17,19) designed to correspond to supporting rollers (22,23) arranged at a distance along the bearing frame (3). These supporting rollers (22,23) are supplemented by pressure rollers permitting the even securing of the edge region on both the upper and the lower longitudinal side (20). Dry fine coal is sorted with a high throughput rate and can be further processed without any drying, thus giving rise to the minimum outsize quantities, as tests have shown.

Title: Combined vehicle suspension torque rod and sway bar
Inventor: ELLINGSEN SVEIN
IPC: B60G21/055
Filed: 1996-04-24
Abstract: A suspension assembly comprising a combination torque rod and sway bar is shown and described. In a preferred embodiment, the assembly comprises two arms that are pivotally coupled at a first end to a first and second end of a crossmember,  the second ends of the arms being coupled to a vehicle axle. By providing a suspension assembly in this manner, the arms function as torque rods to absorb the longitudinal stresses generated by the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. The arms also work in combination with the crossmember to function as a sway bar, the pivotal coupling between the arms andcrossmember allowing the assembly to transfer vertical forces from one side to the other, while still allowing the axle to cross-articulate.  In this manner, the number of components, weight, and cost of manufacture is minimized, traction is improved, and component fatigue and failure is minimized.
