A pivoting cage cargo bed extender is pivotally mounted to the D-pillars of a pick-up truck to be pivotally movable between a forward position and a rearward position. In the rearward position, the pivoting cage serves as a supplemental tailgate structure that rests on the open tailgate to extend the operative area of the cargo bed. The pivoting cage is formed of individual segments that are hinged together and separable at the center into two halves that are each collapsible into a stowed position adjacent the respective side wall of the cargo bed. The two halves of the cargo bed are connectable with a latching mechanism at the center to form a pivoting cage structure that spans transversely across the floor of the cargo bed. The latching mechanism compresses an internal O-ring to provide a tight connection between the two halves.

A passenger vehicle rear end structure is provided with a vehicle body, a rear body panel and connection arrangement.

Provided is a bi-level pallet assembly wherein a pallet is mounted over another on posts supported by corner braces or on posts supported by panels therebetween so that the two pallets are married bunk-bed style together. Cargo is stored on each of the upper and lower pallets and driven by a forklift onto a cargo aircraft to double the normal cargo carrying capacity of such aircraft by utilizing formerly unused space above the first level of cargo. The bi-level pallet assembly of the invention can potentially double the cargo capacity of such aircraft and free up cargo aircraft to meet other demands with a considerable savings of dollars over traditional deployment costs.

A hopper car gate for discharging cargo from a hopper car having a length greater than its width. The gate has opposed generally upright side walls and opposed generally upright end walls coupled with the side walls. The coupled walls present a top opening and a bottom opening. A first rail extends between and is coupled with the side walls adjacent the bottom opening. A first door is supported on the first rail and is moveable in a direction that is perpendicular to the length of the hopper car that the gate is joined with between a closed position which blocks the bottom opening and an open position which allows cargo to exit through the bottom opening.

The invention relates to an oil-water composite cabin for a ship, comprising a liquid cabin and perfusion pipelines. A separation unit is arranged in the middle of the liquid cabin, is in watertight match with the cabin wall of the liquid cabin and separates the liquid cabin into two parts; and the perfusion pipelines are respectively arranged in and communicated with the liquid cabins at both sides of the separation unit which moves towards both sides or stretches or withdraws along with the volume variance of liquid at both sides. The oil-water composite cabin for a ship realizes the composite use of any functional liquid cabin on the ship, integrates economic benefits and environment-friendly benefits, has simple structure, compact arrangement and convenient production, processing and daily maintenance and can be widely applied to various ships and ocean structural objects with liquid cabins.

There is provided an electric propulsion system for a ship in which the cargo capacity of the ship is enhanced while the ship speed of the dead slow or less can be controlled. The electric propulsion system includes a variable speed engine (2), a synchronous generator (3) that generates electricity by the variable speed engine, an induction motor (6) that is connected to the synchronous generator, and a fixed-pitch propeller (7) that is driven by the induction motor.

A stowable cup holder tray assembly is provided for a vehicle having an interior floor structure. The cup holder assembly includes a stowage compartment having a bottom portion with a plurality of opposing sidewalls extending therefrom and defining a stowage volume. The stowage compartment is mounted substantially adjacent to the interior floor structure. A cover member is hinged to one of said plurality of opposing sidewalls and operates to substantially close said stowage volume. A cup holder tray member is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The stowage volume is sufficiently configured to receive said cup holder tray member when in said stowed position. A vehicle incorporating the disclosed cup holder tray assembly is also provided. The cup holder tray assembly is configured to be sufficiently close to the floor when in the stowed position to provide limited barriers within the interior of the vehicle.

The upright strap dispenser has a main body. The main body includes a first frame and a second frame which are connected to each other. The upper frame can be moved up and down relative to the second frame for adjusting the height of the main body. The upright strap dispenser further includes a strap disc. The strap disc is provided with a pivot. Two ends of the pivot are pivotally connected to the first frame and the second frame. The second frame is pivotally connected with a brake device. The upright strap dispenser is detachable to reduce its size for transportation so as to increase cargo capacity and lower transportation cost.

A hopper car having double-curved side walls for transporting bulk solids. The car has side walls, end walls, and a bottom which are all joined to present a container for transporting the bulk solids. The bottom presents at least one opening for discharge of the bulk solid. Each side wall presents upper and lower convex sections forming an indentation at approximately the vertical center of the side wall.

The invention discloses a container and a manufacturing method thereof. The container comprises a bottom frame, a door end plate, a front end plate, side plates and a top plate. The bottom frame comprises bottom side beams, a front end beam, a rear end beam, a plurality of bottom cross beams and a floor laid on the bottom cross beams. The thickness of at least one structure part of the door end plate, the front end plate, the side plates, the top plate, the bottom side beams, the front end beam, the rear end beam and the bottom cross beams changes regularly in the length or width direction of the structure part, and a thin-walled zone and a thick-walled zone of the structure part are distributed in a spaced mode. Compared with the prior art, on the premise that the bending strength and rigidity of the container are kept unchanged, the steel consumption is reduced, raw material waste is avoided, resources are saved, cost is reduced, the self weight of the container is further reduced, the cargo capacity of the container is increased, and the container has the advantage of being environmentally friendly.

The invention discloses a variable cross-section corrugated bulkhead assembly and a ship including same. The variable cross-section corrugated bulkhead assembly comprises a first corrugated bulkhead which is vertically arranged between a main deck of a ship and the internal bottom plate of a cabin, wherein the cross section of the first corrugated bulkhead in the vertical direction is invariable;and the two ends of the first corrugated bulkhead in the vertical direction are correspondingly connected with the main deck and the internal bottom plate through a second corrugated bulkhead, whereinthe cross section of the second corrugated bulkhead in the vertical direction is gradually increased from one end close to the first corrugated bulkhead to one end far away from the first corrugatedbulkhead. Through adoption of the variable cross-section second corrugated bulkhead, the supporting strength of the whole variable cross-section corrugated bulkhead assembly can be met by using the variable cross-section structure, and the variable cross-section corrugated bulkhead assembly directly replaces a structure with an upper wall pier and a lower wall pier; and therefore, the manufacturing steps are simplified, the manufacturing difficulty is reduced, the large-area stress concentration situation is avoided, and the potential safety hazard is reduced; and moreover, an independent cabin structure does not need to be divided for the second corrugated bulkhead, the volume of the cabin is made large, and the loading capacity is greatly enhanced.
