20080232917 | Rail Loading Train for Transporting Long Welded Rails - A rail loading train for transporting long welded rails includes a device at the end of the rail loading train for anchoring the rails. The device includes a plurality of insertion devices each being provided for anchoring a single rail and having an inserting opening and a rail stop. Each insertion device has two clamping jaws which are spaced from one another in a direction extending perpendicularly to a rail web of the rail to be clamped, for forming the inserting opening. At least one clamping jaw is equipped with a clamping device for contacting the rail web and for automatic force-locking connection to said rail web, effective against a direction of insertion. Both clamping jaws are constructed for being spaced from one another for releasing the force-locking connection to the rail web. | 09-25-2008 |
20090297287 | Cradle arrangement - Transportation of articles such as gas turbine engines can be problematic in view of their size. Traditionally, articles such as gas turbine engines are transported on cradles associated with platforms and bases. It would be desirable to enable manipulation of height and width to allow the assembly of the article, such as a gas turbine engine upon the base to enter apertures such as doors in aircraft fuselages or for minimising width for road or rail or sea transportation. By providing a cradle, having respective cradle sides projecting from a junction in association with a drive mechanism and each side of the cradle coupled to a pivot arm, control of rotation paths can be achieved. Thus, an article such as a gas turbine engine secured to a cradle arrangement can be manipulated between extremes and alternate configurations, defined by rotation paths, through elective association of one or the other of the pivot arms to the cradle and the base. | 12-03-2009 |

20110250031 | Track Bar - A structural tie down bar for securing the rear track of a snowmobile to a trailer or other similar structure. The device comprises an elongated beam with a plurality of eyelet projections extending therefrom. The eyelets serve as trailer tie down attachment points for external trailer tie down straps. In a preferred embodiment, the base surface of the beam rests flush against the outer surface of the snowmobile track while the eyelet projections protrude through drive hole penetrations along the track. High tension tie down straps attach to the device using an S-hook or similar attachment means to engage the eyelet projections. Tension loads in the straps act to secure the entire rear end of the snowmobile without compressing the suspension, limiting movement during transportation and reducing potential damage to frame, fairings and other accessories. | 10-13-2011 |
20120121357 | E-Hook - A trailer wall hook is provided as a single unit that includes a U-shaped hook with a rounded or square base. The U-shaped hook includes an open eye-loop and j-hook support brackets. The open eye-loop is attached to the top front of the U-shaped hook and two smaller j-hooks are attached upside down on the rear of the U-shaped hook. The j-hooks provide for mounting the trailer wall hook on a cargo control or tie-down system on the inside wall of a trailer. The trailer wall hook provides for loading and supporting linear shaped or irregular shaped freight onto the wall. | 05-17-2012 |

20120163937 | SOLAR PANEL RACKING SYSTEM AND TRANSPORT MECHANISM - An apparatus for protecting solar panels during transportation to a work site is disclosed. The apparatus includes a racking system that provides ease in loading and unloading solar panels on a vehicle and protects the solar panels during transportation. The racking system may be removable from the vehicle, and be used alone or in conjunction with other racking systems to maximize the number of solar panels transported to a work site without the use of a trailer system. | 06-28-2012 |
20130136554 | Cargo Restraint Device for Pick Up Truck - Described is a device that can be used in conjunction with a pick-up truck to keep items from shifting during transit. The device is designed to hook under the bottom edge of the truck tail gate when the tailgate is in the closed position. | 05-30-2013 |
20130149064 | ENERGY ABSORBING FASTENING SYSTEM - A fastening system includes an energy absorbing or impact indicator and at least one or more of the following: (1) a fastening base for mounting in an emergency vehicle, (2) a patient support engageable with a base, (3) a patient securement mechanism for securing a patient on a patient support, (4) a patient securement mechanism for securing a patient to a vehicle, (5) a patient support securement mechanism operable to secure a patient support in an emergency vehicle, or (6) a patient support securement mechanism operable to secure a patient support to a base, wherein the energy absorbing or impact indicator is located (1) at the patient securement mechanism, or (2) at the patient support securement mechanism, or wherein the energy absorbing or impact indicator is between (1) the base and the vehicle, (2) the patient support and the base, (3) the patient securement mechanism and the patient support, (4) the patient support and the emergency vehicle, (5) the patient and the emergency vehicle, or (6) the patient securement mechanism and the emergency vehicle, wherein the energy absorbing device or impact indicator has at least an energy absorbing state and a rigid state or indicates a level of impact at or between any of the respective component or components. | 06-13-2013 |
20140161554 | Snowmobile Ski Tie Down Tray - A snowmobile tie down assembly is provided that is adapted to be secured to the bed of a hauling vehicle and support the skis of the snowmobile during transport. The assembly comprises a set of trays having a base surface and a pair of lateral side wall flanges. Extending from the flanges is a fastener strap that is adapted to be positioned over the base surface when attached and securing the ski of a snowmobile thereon. The base surface is fastened to the bed of the vehicle, wherein two of the trays are contemplated for secure the first and second ski of a snowmobile. The base surface may include a protective ski glide material layer thereon, while the fastener strap is preferably a separable ladder strap and buckle. | 06-12-2014 |
20140286722 | SHELTER TIE-DOWN STOPS - A retaining device and assembly for securing a modular structure to a vehicle bed is disclosed. The assembly includes a main body, a retaining portion forming an end of the main body, and means for securing the main body to the vehicle bed, wherein the secured main body and retaining portion prevent the structure from moving while positioned within the vehicle bed. The retaining assembly is compatible with existing fasteners or tie-downs on the cargo bed of the vehicle; therefore, no additional modifications are needed to the cargo bed to accommodate the retaining assembly. | 09-25-2014 |
