International Classification:

B61D 45/00

US Classification:

410100

Abstract:

A cargo retaining winch includes a rotationally secured winch shaft that is substantially longer than the width of a flexible member to be wound on the winch to secure cargo. The flexible member can be wound in one of a continuity of locations along the longitudinal axis of the winch shaft to improve alignment of the flexible member and the cargo.

International Classification:

E02D 27/32
E02D 3/00
E04G 21/02
E02D 27/00
E04B 2/00

US Classification:

52274, 522931, 52294, 5274214, 5274111

Abstract:

The present disclosure concerns embodiments of a wall structure that can be formed from one or more permanent wall forms (or formworks). The wall forms can be prefabricated at a factory or shop in a controlled environment and then shipped to the job site. Construction of the wall structure at the job site generally entails positioning the wall forms at the desired location for the wall structure and then filling the wall forms with concrete. When the concrete cures, the wall forms are not removed and become a permanent part of the wall structure.

Assignee:

Boydstun Metal Works Inc. - Portland OR

International Classification:

B60P 708

US Classification:

410 12

Abstract:

A tie-down system for a vehicle transporter comprises a tie-down apparatus for securing a vehicle to a longitudinally-extending elongate vehicle transporter, comprising a vehicle support assembly, including a front deck and further including a rear deck that is variably positionable with respect to said front deck. At least four variably positionable securement devices are associated with the vehicle support assembly and attachable to the vehicle. A respective flexible tension member portion is interconnected with a respective one of each of the four securement devices to enable nonuniform variations in relative positions of the securement devices, each tension member portion capable of exerting a pull-down force on a respective one of the securement devices. A tension-applying mechanism is interconnected with each tension member portion to adjust the pull-down force on each of the securement devices and a tension-equalizing mechanism, interconnected with each tension member portion, capable of automatically distributing tension applied by the tension-applying mechanism among each tension member portion so as to substantially equalize said pull-down force automatically with respect to the four securement devices despite nonuniform variations in the relative positions of the securement devices, the tension-equalizing mechanism further capable of maintaining the substantially equalized pull-down force during and after adjustments of the relative positions of the front deck and the rear deck.

A tension-applying mechanism is interconnected with each tension member portion to adjust the pull-down force on each of the securement devices. A tension-equalizing mechanism is interconnected with each tension member portion and is capable of automatically substantially equally distributing tension applied by the tension-applying mechanism among each tension member portion, to substantially equalize the pull-down force automatically with respect to the four securement devices. A tension-limiting mechanism is interconnected with the tension-applying mechanism and is capable automatically of limiting the pull-down force exerted by the tension member to a predetermined amount.
