20090309081 | Zero Fleet Winch for Stage Use - A zero fleet winch with guides that move while a cable is wound on a drum. The guides hold the cable always at 90 degrees to the drum. A tensioning turnaround sheave keeps the cable tight. | 12-17-2009 |
20090309084 | Lineset Winch with Braking Parts - A winch which can operate with an external brake, or the external brake can be removed to operate with an internal brake. The winch has a cable drum that rotates to get cable on and off the drum. Two eccentric cams are rotated to always keep a soft plastic part pressed against the drum. | 12-17-2009 |
20090315006 | Tab Winch for Stage Use - A winch with adjustable arms allowing the length to be adjusted. The winch can have a very thin drum to allow it to fit in confined spaces. | 12-24-2009 |
20100005998 | Moving Trolley for an I Beam Extrusion - An I beam trolley that can move along an I beam | 01-14-2010 |
20100242562 | I-beam track with a Separate attachment portion - A dual sided extrusion, where one side has a different shape than the other side, and the extrusion is intended to be used in different orientations depending on the application. | 09-30-2010 |
20100247281 | Double Offset Caster System - A double offset caster system uses two sets of rotatable offsets relative to one another so that the caster can move relative to the load. The offset changes in order to change the relative offset between the caster position and the load. | 09-30-2010 |
20110079760 | Lineset Winch with Braking Parts - A winch which can operate with an external brake, or the external brake can be removed to operate with an internal brake. The winch has a cable drum that rotates to get cable on and off the drum. Two eccentric cams are rotated to always keep a soft plastic part pressed against the drum. | 04-07-2011 |
20110101292 | Reduced Size and Reconfigurable Winch - A zero fleet winch that has a hollow drum and a motor and gear assembly mounted inside the drum. A roller assembly moves with the rotation to keep constant the angle where the cable goes on and off the drum. | 05-05-2011 |
20110101293 | Workhorse Winch - A winch driven by a rotatable cassette. The cassette can be rotated into multiple different positions. Each of the addition positions produces a different speed up the output for a cable. | 05-05-2011 |
20110118038 | Universal Deck Track Dog with Replaceable Parts - A track dog with removable parts. Embodiments describe one or more of the following features. In one embodiment, the size of the receiver for the knife shaped piece can be variable. Another embodiment describes an improved technique of holding the cable that is run under the floor. Yet another embodiment describes a device where the cable attachment mechanism are set in a location that line up with the openings in the floor to allow tightening without opening the floor. Another aspect describes a special through hole so that cable can be run through the device, e.g., to connect to another track dog. | 05-19-2011 |
20110142591 | Truss Hinge - A truss hinge that includes a number of different labeled parts, where connections between the two different parts can constrain the truss to different angles. | 06-16-2011 |
20110265421 | Truss Hinge with Angular Variability - A truss hinge that allows hinging between truss parts, and also allows configuration into a different size. | 11-03-2011 |
20120018610 | Lightlock winch - Stage usable device, such as a moving light, is held on a platform that is raised and lowered by a winch connected to a truss. The winch can be connected inside the truss, outside the truss such as above or below the truss, or in corner blocks of the truss. | 01-26-2012 |
20120023861 | Truss Hub and Parts with Variable Configurations - A truss hub with a circular outer shape, that connects to trusses that extend radially away from the truss hub in different directions. | 02-02-2012 |
20120186893 | Rover Wheel - A movable and steerable device that has a platform with four wheel assemblies, any of which are both drivable and steerable. Different driving and steering options can make the device move in different directions and orientations. The driving can be done by a drive motor, forming a drive loop of material, such as chain, and a steering motor, also forming a steering loop. The different loops are attached to different sprockets on the device, which have different sizes, and therefore the different loops do not interfere with one another. | 07-26-2012 |
20120260754 | Universal Powerpack and Attachments - A reconfigurable power pack, that produces rotational power and can be used with separate accessories. The housing can be mounted in a first configuration with its motor facing downward and in which the housing is energized to move along a substantially horizontal extrusion. A second configuration mounts the housing is to move along a track in a deck. Other configurations are also possible. | 10-18-2012 |
20120297718 | Angle Spreader for Trusses - A truss hinge that allows hinging between truss parts, and also allows configuration into a different size, and spreads the angle of the truss open ends. One embodiment uses a first plate, having a connection part to a first truss, where the connection part is adapted for connection to a first truss. A second plate is movable relative to the first plate. The second plate also has a second connection part adapted for connection to a second truss. An angle setting part forms a connection between the first plate and the second plate, that holds the first plate relative to the second plate at any of a number of different relative locations between the first plate and the second plate. The plates include angle markings to set the connections. | 11-29-2012 |
20140360125 | Truss Hinge with Angular Variability - A truss hinge that allows hinging between truss parts, and also allows configuration into a different size. | 12-11-2014 |
20150086322 | Truss hinge with variations in angular settings - A truss hinge that includes a number of different labeled parts, where connections between the two different parts can constrain the truss to different angles. | 03-26-2015 |
