Abstract: An assembly for selectively rolling and unrolling a tarpaulin so as to correspondingly uncover and tautly cover a top opening of an open-topped container. The assembly includes a rolling rod secured to the tarpaulin adjacent an edge thereof. The rolling rod is operatively mounted over the top opening  to roll up the tarpaulin therearound so as to uncover the top opening when rotated about the rod longitudinal axis towards a first container side wall in a fir st rod rotational direction. The rolling rod being also operatively mounted over th e top opening to unroll the tarpaulin so as to cover the top opening when rotated about the rod longitudinal axis towards the second container side wall in a second  rod rotational direction. The assembly also includes a winch drum attached to th e rolling rod adjacent one of the rod longitudinal ends so as to rotate solidarly therewith. The assembly further includes a tensioning cable having a first e nd thereof attached to the winch drum thus allowing the tensioning cable to be wound around the winch drum when the rolling rod is rotated in the second ro d rotational direction and also allowing the tensioning cable to be unwounded from the winch drum when the rolling rod is rotated in the first rod rotational direction.  A cable tensioning mechanism is attached to the tensioning cable second e nd for resiliently maintaining the tensioning cable in a taut state.

Patent CA-2362828-A1 (CA)
Title: Spring loaded drive gun
Inventor: JANUSZ MICHAEL
IPC: B25B21/00
Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A drive tool which does not require any upper-body force from an operator to install a fastener. The drive tool includes a top portion which is engageable with a drive source and a lower portion which is engageable with a fastener.  The drive tool includes springs which are configured to urge the lower portion and upper portion of the tool away from each other (i.e. relative movement) and provide that a generally axial force is applied to the fastener engaged with the lower portion of the tool. As a result, the operator does not need to apply any upper-body axial force to the drive tool to install the fastener.  Preferably, the lower portion of the drive tool includes one or more foot pads on which an operator may stand, and the spring(s) become compressed when the operator stands on the foot pad(s). As a result of the spring(s) trying to expand, a generally axial force is applied to the fastener engaged with the lower portion of the tool, thereby reducing the amount of upper-body axial force an operator must apply to the drive tool to install the fastener. Hence, the operator can use his or her own body weight to apply an axial load during a drilling operation, and need not use any upper-body force.
