Title: Lip lifting mechanism for a dock leveler
Inventor: MASSEY DOUGLAS H
IPC: B65G69/28
Filed: 1995-01-31
Abstract: A lip lifting mechanism for the pivotable lip of a dock leveler moves the lip to an operative extended position as the ramp of the dock leveler is moved from a raised position toward a lowered position. The lip lifting mechanism includes a push bar, a lifting rod, a lug engageable with the lip through the lifting rod, and a link arrangement to which the lifting rod is pivotably mounted, with the push bar being engageable with the link arrangement upon downward movement of the ramp. The push bar moves the link arrangement and the lifting rod into an over-center toggle position to extend the lip. En-gagement of the lip with the bed of a truck results in the link arrangement and the lifting rod being moved to an under-center release position, so as to enable the lip to fall to a pendant position when the truck moves away from the dock. The invention contemplates a unique construction of the engagement structure between the push bar and the link arrangement for increasing the force applied to the lifting rod by the push bar, and a trip structure for ensuring that the lip is always returned to its pendant position when the dock leveler is in a low-ered, storage position.

IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 1993-10-26
Abstract: A host and user transaction system comprising a self contained por-table intelligent device (13) for use by a service user, and an interface de-vice (11) for use by a service provider. The intelligent device (13) is in the form of an integrated circuit (IC) card incorporating a single chip microc-omputer having an input/output communication port (15), nonvolatile memory (17, 19) and random access memory (21). The interface device (11) has its own memory for storing data and a coupler (14) to connect to the IC card forcommunicating therewith. The nonvolatile memory (17, 19) has in one part an operating system mask programmed in native code for performing basic functions and in a second part data files with different access restriction levels. The random access memory (21) is available for use by the operating system and stores data received from or ready for transmission via the communication port (15). The interface device (11) includes a program module within its own memory, which includes in-structions for working with prescribed data files within the second part of the nonvolatile memory (17, 19). These instructions are performed by the operating system after the IC card is connected to the coupler by means of a progrm interpreter and form part of a prescribed instruction set discrete from the native code. Basic functions performed by the operating system in native code are only performed in accordance with a command execu-tor which is limited to enabling the IC card to receive commands, perform prescribed functions in respect of the command and provide a result or status to the command, but not to execute program modules for perform-ing a transaction which involves data file access.
