摘要： A vertically movable loading dock bumper device to be attached to a loading dock and interposed between the loading dock and a vehicle during the loading/unloading process, in which the vertical movement of the bumper is in concert with the vertical movement of the vehicle as the vehicle moves vertically during the loading/unloading process. The dock bumper device consists of a mount component, a bumper component, and a slide component, whereby the mount component is fixedly attached to a loading dock, the bumper component accommodates a bumper, and the slide component connects the bumper component to the mount component in a manner permitting the bumper component to move along the mount component in a vertical direction.

摘要： A portable ramp and load support assembly including a pair of rigid, elongated, first and second ramp components hinged together at adjoining ends by a simple pivot pin. The apparatus is made of light-weight, injection molded plastic material, and is provided with a resilient, non-slip surface on its upper side. The ground-engaging end and vehicle-engaging end are also specially configured to prevent slippage and dislodgment during use. The assembly also includes a plurality of accessory parts including disconnectable legs for allowing the ramp apparatus to be used as a grooming table, examination table, game-cleaning table, etc., and floats, wheels, pull handles and other accessories that can be attached to extend the utility of the apparatus.

摘要： A gangway and method for producing a gangway for use at variable angles of inclination. The gangway has a plurality of trapezoidal steps flexibly secured to a plurality of sides. A plurality of railing posts are rigidly secured to the trapezoidal steps and flexibly secured to a handrail. The railing posts have a concave shaped portion adjacent to the trapezoidal steps which prevents contact between the railing posts and the trapezoidal steps as the trapezoidal steps are displaced when the inclination of the gangway changes. A plurality of runners are secured at an acute angle to the underside of the gangway sides. The distance between the runners is smaller than the distance between the sides of the gangway, reducing the difference in degrees of inclination between the gangway sides as a pontoon on which an end of the gangway rests lists.

摘要： A dock leveler includes a frame, a ramp, a lip, and a linkage. The ramp is rotatably coupled to the frame for rotation between a substantially horizontal first position and an inclined second position. The lip is coupled to the ramp for rotation between a pendent position and an extended position. The linkage is coupled to the lip and includes a pivot point and a centerline. The linkage supports the lip in the extended position when the pivot point is on a first side of the centerline and allows the lip to fall pendent under the force of gravity when the pivot point is on a second side of the centerline. The pivot point is moved from the first side of the centerline to the second side of the centerline when the lip is contacted by a vehicle that creates a downward moment on the lip.

摘要： An extendible shield for sheltering the pit area below a dock leveler of a loading dock. The shield is especially suited for dock levelers having a ramp of pivotally adjustable height with a lip extension for providing a traffic path between the rear of a vehicle and a loading dock platform. The shield includes a curtain wrapped around a roller, which provides the shield with a vertical span that can vary to match the up and down movement of the ramp. Various embodiments include features such a flexible seal that seals against the rear of a vehicle and cutouts for accommodating a vehicle restraint and lip keepers.

摘要： A dock leveler ramp with a lip that can be latched in an extended position to ensure that the lip comes to rest upon the back end of a vehicle as the ramp descends includes an unlatching mechanism. The mechanism positively unlatches the lip by direct force created by the lip engaging the vehicle or created by the ramp descending upon an internal abutment in the event that a vehicle is not present. Also, the descent of an unlatched lip is dampened to prevent the lip from slamming back down to its pendant position.

摘要： A dock leveler and installation thereof having a bumper assembly to protect the deck and the lip of the leveler. In one embodiment the dock leveler comprises a pivotable deck and a lip attached to the deck at one end thereof. A bumper is operably connected to the deck and moveable with the deck. The bumper is selectively moveable to protrude beyond the end of the deck to protect the dock leveler from impact. In another embodiment a dock leveler installation comprises a loading dock having a front face. A dock leveler is mounted at the loading dock and has a pivotable deck and a lip attached to the deck at one end thereof. A bumper is operably connected to the front face beneath the dock leveler and projecting in front of the lip when the lip is in a pendent position.

摘要： Disclosed is a system and method for automatically aligning an end of a passenger loading bridge with a doorway of an aircraft. A beacon is transmitted from the doorway of the aircraft. The location is sensed and from the sensed beacon a direction for moving of the end of the passenger loading bridge is determined. The passenger loading bridge is then moved according to the determined direction. The process is iterated until the docking of the bridge to the aircraft is completed.
