Title: Crowd rope take-up system for a shovel
Inventor: CHANG SHYUE-SHENG
IPC: E02F3/30
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: A crowd rope (30) take-up mechanism is mounted on the end of a shovel handle (20) remote on the end of a shovel handle remote from the dipper bracket. The mechanism includes a cylinder (40) with external screw (41) threads engaged by a nut wheel (50). The cylinder mounts a sheave (37) that received a loop of the crowd rope (30). A  worm gear (55) engages gear teeth (54) on the outside of the nut wheel (50). The cylinder (40) is restrained against rotation and the nut wheel (50) is captured longitudinally so that rotation of the worm gear (50) by a power wrench is translated into longitudinal movement of the cylinder (40) and sheave (37). The worm gear is locked against rotation by a removable plug (60).

Patent CA-2363362-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOSTER BRIAN WILLIAM
IPC: B65D75/36
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: In a system for suspending, in a single operation, a plurality of product packages on a peg, each product package includes an upwardly extending mounting portion defining a shaped slot adapted to slidably receive the peg. The slot defines a peripheral edge for engaging the peg and suspending the product package therefrom. The system also includes a band of polymeric material that engages and at least partially surrounds the plurality of product packages, binding them together such that each shaped slot is approximately aligned with the next successive slot to allow said peg to be slidably threaded through each of the mounting portions. The band of polymeric material also includes a release portion, along which the band may be tom, thereby separating the band from the product packages to provide access to individual packages suspended from the peg.
