20090129912 | Device to dynamically lift and suspend loads - A mechanical device, powered by internal combustion engine or other source of power, inside an enclosure which is fixed on a platform with the purpose to lift and keep dynamically suspended loads by means of centrifugal force, such that once that force is equal or higher than the required to hold the load, there will be not measurable weight in the platform, except the device itself. The generator of centrifugal force is one or more arms with end-loaded weights rotating at variable speed to produce the lift and suspension required. First application is to increase the ordinance carrying capacity of military aircrafts, cargo planes and helicopters. Other applications are in the fields of civil aeronautics and space exploration. | 05-21-2009 |
20090185890 | PALLET JACK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF STACKABLE PACKAGED GOODS PALLETS - A pallet jack is disclosed that comprises a left tine, center tine, and a right tine. The center tine is about 2 times the width of each of the left and right tines, though other widths of the center tine can also be implemented. Because the center tine is about twice the width of the left and right tines, two pallets, side-by-side, can be carried simultaneously with only three tines. According to another embodiment of the pallet jack, a portion of the center tine (a right-most portion) and the right tine can have raised areas that enable an operator of the pallet jack to lift a right pallet that sits on the raised areas higher than the left pallet. The left pallet sits on the left tine and center tine without the raised areas (at a lower height). Thus, the operator of the pallet jack can place the left pallet in a first location without disengaging the tines from the right pallet, or without lowering the right pallet all the way to the ground (or a first location surface). Alternatively, the raised areas can be located on the left tine and the left-most portion of the center tine, in which case, the operator of the pallet jack can place the right pallet in a first location without disengaging the tines from the left pallet, or without lowering the left pallet all the way to the ground (or a first location surface). | 07-23-2009 |
