| 280757000 | Antiskid or slide | 10 |
| 20090127839 | AXLE-MOUNTED TRAILER SKID PLATE - Each of a pair of skid plate assemblies attaches by a mounting plate to the axle and leaf springs of a trailer using inverted U-bolt. The steel skid plate mounts to the mounting plate by a vertical steel tube and two welded angled brace tubes. The front end of the bottom skid plate hooks around and attaches to a crossbar on a bracket hanging down from a forward end of the trailer spring. The back end of the bottom skid plate is formed with a dove tail tip that touches the pavement to create sparks when the trailer tire is disabled to warn other motorists. | 05-21-2009 |
| 280758000 | Shiftable-type antiskid counter weights | 1 |
| 20100117346 | AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE BALANCING SYSTEM - A balancing system for an agricultural vehicle includes a balance weight which has take-up pins at its sides. The pins are oriented coaxially to a common pivot axis so that the balancing weight can be taken up by the lower links of a three point implement hitch. When the balance weight has been taken up, it can be moved from a position of the center of gravity (S) of the balance weight close to the vehicle to a position distant from the vehicle. In order to attain a balance as optimal as possible, the position of the center of gravity of the balance weight in its position close to the vehicle is located below the pivot axis. Pivoting devices are provided so that the balance weight can be pivoted about the pivot axis so that it can also be brought from a position close to the vehicle to a position distant from the vehicle, where the balance weight occupies a lower position of the center of gravity in the position close to the vehicle than in the position distant from the vehicle. | 05-13-2010 |
| 280759000 | Static-type antiskid counter weights | 8 |
| 20080197614 | INTEGRATED BALLAST APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE - A ballast apparatus adds ballast above or adjacent to the driven wheels of a vehicle, wherein the ballast can be easily loaded and unloaded without taking up valuable cargo space of the vehicle. The ballast apparatus is preferably integrated with the structure of the vehicle and includes at least one ballast container located within a body cavity of the vehicle, wherein the ballast container includes at least one inlet and at least one outlet. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080197615 | MODULAR WEIGHT SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMOBILES - Modular weight systems for improving tire traction of automobiles on road surfaces affected by inclement weather are disclosed. The modular weight systems include a plurality of tiles that are configured to releasably mate to one another, and to fit within the cargo space of a vehicle without significantly reducing utility or becoming dislodged during movement. The tiles generally weigh between twenty and two-hundred pounds each, and they may be filled or doped with heavy filler materials, such as sand, stone or shot. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080246262 | Automobile Ballast Device - An automobile ballast device includes a bladder member configured to hold various amounts of matter and having an inlet for selectively allowing the matter to enter the bladder member. The automobile ballast device further includes a plurality of lower panels configured to collectively form a unitary platform below the bladder member, each lower panel having an interlocking member complementary to an interlocking member of another respective lower panel. Similarly, the automobile ballast device includes a plurality of upper panels configured to collectively form a unitary platform atop the bladder member, each upper panel having an interlocking member complementary to an interlocking member of another respective upper panel. The ballast device also includes a plurality of spacers, each spacer being coupled to respective lower upper panels for maintaining a selected distance therebetween. Each spacer includes indicia indicative of a volume or weight of ballast matter. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080309059 | VEHICLE TRACTION ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM - A vehicle traction enhancement system for use in a vehicle storage compartment such as a trunk or truck bed, to add weight or ballast above the driven wheels to improve traction, especially during times of inclement weather. The system includes an elongated carrier and retention devices or compartments for the weights. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20100059976 | DEVICE FACILITATING CONTROL OF THE WEIGHTING OF AN AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR AND FOR IMPROVING ITS PRODUCTIVITY - Device for facilitating the control of the weighting of an agricultural tractor and for improving its productivity, includes a support member (A) designed to run transversely to the direction of travel of the tractor, this support member having a central part with a member (B) for coupling to a front or rear three-point lift of the tractor and, on each side of this central part, a lateral extension (Aa, Ab) equipped with a unit of attachment (Ea, Eb) of a weight, a load or a tool. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20110266783 | APPARATUS FOR ADDING WEIGHT TO A WORK VEHICLE - An apparatus for adding weight to a work vehicle includes a receptacle and at least one arm projecting from the receptacle. The receptacle and the at least one arm are configured to receive weights. The apparatus for adding weight to a work vehicle also includes at least one connecting point configured to attach the apparatus to a three-point hitch of the work vehicle. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120007349 | TOOLLESS QUICK DETACH WEIGHT SYSTEM - Coupling systems and methods enable adjustable utilization of counterweights and other components on vehicles, such as riding lawn mowers. A mounting bracket and pivoting locking plate are operable to releasably secure a component, such as a counterweight, to a vehicle without the use of tools. Responsive to insertion of the component into the mounting bracket, the locking plate pivots to secure the mounting bracket to the vehicle. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20150097362 | TRACTOR COUNTERWEIGHT MOUNTING - A top link for a tractor front counterweight support linkage. The link is a fixed length elongate body having at a first end a pivoting connection with a chassis of the tractor and at a second end a slot to slidably receive an attachment bolt connectable to a tractor front counterweight. The link further includes a mechanism to selectively permit or prevent sliding movement of an attachment bolt received in the slot. | 04-09-2015 |
