| 20130189057 | Apparatus And Methods For Facilitating The Removal Of Existing Turf And Installing New Turf - A turf cutter device, an infill extractor/collector device, and a turf wind-up device are used to facilitate the cost-effective removal of an infilled synthetic turf and the subsequent installation of a new turf at the same site, with minimal subsurface disruption. An infill extractor/collector device mounted on a motorized vehicle moves a relatively narrow strip of filled artificial turf from the surface, in front of the vehicle, and directs the strip to an infill removal station. The infill removal station inverts the strip and redirects the strip back toward the front of the vehicle, after agitating the strip to extract the infill. After redirecting the strip toward the front of the vehicle, the vehicle drives over the unfilled strip. Meanwhile, the extractor/collector device moves the extracted infill rearwardly to a bag located in a trailer. The turf cutter device is used prior to infill extraction, while the turf wind up device may be used before or after infill extraction, depending on whether infill extraction takes place at the field or at a remote site, respectively. | 07-25-2013 |

| 20080232942 | Warehouse loader - Disclosed is a warehouse loader that has two extendable platform sections. One of those sections is hinged to a deck that extends to a driving deck where the operator can stand when moving the loader. The other section is hinged to the first section and can be aligned with the first section to create a platform that extends outwardly from the deck and can be accessed by the operator directly from the deck. The illustrated sections are between 12 and 36 inches wide, can support 300 pounds of weight, and weigh less than 40 pounds. The second section may be 1-3 inches narrower than the first section, and arranged so that it folds against one side of the first section. A spring-loaded latch can be arranged to selectively hold the first section in an upright position, with the second section folded against it. A manually-operable positioning hook can be used to selectively engage receptacles in the platform sections, making it easier to fold or unfold the sections. To retrieve a spilled article, the warehouse loader is first positioned at an open location adjacent the spilled article. The foldable platform is then extended from the loader into the open location, where it may be supported by pallet supports. The operator can then stand on the foldable platform while retrieving the spilled article. | 09-25-2008 |
