Abstract: A tarp system with a knuckle arm assembly having a housing on an upper arm with a bent enclosure with a flexible torque shaft or universal joint connector substantially within the enclosure, such as an extruded tube. A first end of the flexible torque shaft or universal joint connector may be used in conjunction with a motor, preferably mounted away from the bend in the enclosure to minimize the envelope of the tarp system around a container of a container of a trailer or rail car. A second end of the flexible torque shaft or universal joint connector is attached to an axle shaft for a roller or the like that is used in conjunction with a tarp.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake gear motor with a brake mechanism to operate a roll tarp for use with an open top container. A motor-driven rollable cover is attached to and wrappable about a reel to selectively cover contents of the container. The hydraulic gear motor operates with a brake mechanism to lock and hold a position of the motor. A secondary brake mechanism may include a hydraulic piston that selectively engages a holding brake with a hex connector. A hydraulic motor may include a port path for flow of fluid to internal meshing gears and a braking mechanism with a plunger that clamps and holds the meshing gears when hydraulic fluid is not flowing. A transmission having rolling gears can be operated by the hydraulic motor with such brake mechanisms. The motor and brake mechanisms are preferably hydraulically operated with an existing system of a trailer or rail car.

Abstract translation: 一种具有制动机构的液压制动器齿轮电动机，用于操作与篷顶容器一起使用的卷帘篷。 马达驱动的可卷绕的盖子围绕卷轴附接并可包装以选择性地覆盖容器的内容物。 液压齿轮马达用制动机构操作以锁定和保持马达的位置。 二次制动机构可以包括液压活塞，其选择性地将保持制动器与六角连接器接合。 液压马达可以包括用于将流体流向内啮合齿轮的端口路径和具有当液压流体不流动时夹持并保持啮合齿轮的柱塞的制动机构。 具有滚动齿轮的变速器可以由具有这种制动机构的液压马达操作。 电机和制动机构优选地利用拖车或轨道车辆的现有系统来液压操作。
