While we had reported long back that a new family will be introduced in the show, a birdie from the production house confirmed the news saying, "There is an introduction of a new Punjabi family in the show, who will be the new neighbors of Ahluwalia family."
Our source also went on to say, "This Punjabi family will comprise of Kishwer Merchantt, Balvinder Singh Suri and a new child actor of about 10-12 years of age. They will be showcased as a stereotypical irritating and loud neighbors with a tinge of humor."
Regarding the same we got in touch with Kishwer Merchantt and she says, "Yes, I've started shooting for Parvarish, whereby I'm playing a Punjabi character named Parminder. As of now, I'm told that its a cameo, but let's see how it goes."
The actress who has been seen playing more of cameo roles recently, further says, "I always wanted to do a Punjabi character and I'm sure I'll have a good time playing the same."

November 27, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) -- Illinois' unemployment rate dipped to 8.7 percent in November as the economy added 16,400 jobs.
Preliminary data released by the Illinois Department of Employment Security indicate the largest monthly job gain of the year. There still are nearly 575,000 Illinoisans out of work. The rate does not reflect unemployed people who've quit looking for work.
IDES Director Jay Rowell says November's job growth is encouraging and "reinforces the trend of positive economic momentum."
But he says progress will slow if Congress and the president fail to come to a resolution on the so-called fiscal cliff.
November's seasonally adjusted rate is one-tenth of a percentage point lower than in October and 1.1 percentage points lower than November 2011.
Most job gains last month were in professional and business services and manufacturing.

The Recharter Training will be a step-by-step walk-through of the rechartering process. Bring your laptop or tablet so you can work on your unit's recharter. The instructor will have all the access codes in case you have not received it yet.
There are 3 steps in in the recharter process:
All Five Trails District units recharter in January (2015) and per the new BSA policy there is no grace period. All recharters need to be turned in by January 31st or your unit will be dropped. This year we are only recharting for only 11 months; everyone is moving to a December 31st deadline, beginning at the end of 2015 (for the 2016 recharter year) . Therefore, the cost of recharter for 2015 is $22 per person (adult and youth) and $11 for Boy's Life. (When we recharter again at the end of 2015 (for 2016), the registration fee/Boys Life will go back to $24/$12 respectively.)
We will go over all of this at the training to help you recharter in a timely fashion.
To: All Units, Five Trails District
From: Dave Ross, Five Trails District Commissioner
Five Trails District has scheduled a re-chartering training/orientation session for:
Sunday, November 16, 2014, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Plymouth Park United Methodist Church (Roundtable location)
All of our District's unit recharters are due in January 2015. Work should be completed by January 15, 2015, and the final copy with signatures and checks submitted by that date.
Because the Council is shifting ALL UNIT CHARTERS to DECEMBER 31, 2015, next year, for the year 2015, you will only need to collect and forward fees for 11 MONTHS. This means the fee to be remitted is $22.00 for registration for the year 2015. Those members wishing to subscribe to Boys' Life, an eleven month fee of $11.00 should be submitted. Your 2015 charter will then be in sync to expire December 31, 2015.
Regardless of how many years, your Unit's membership/recharter chair has done this process, the re-chartering system resets each year at the beginning of the re-chartering process. This means that to the "system", whoever is doing this for your unit is considered a "new user" and will have to create a new user name and password. Once created, they may be used until the process has been completed this year.
Because the on-line re-chartering system is set for a uniform charter length of 12 months, some pen and ink changes will have to be made to the final copy submitted to the council office. Any place that indicates that the charter is for 12 months should be changed to 11 months. The charter expiration date should be changed to December 31, 2015, and re-calculated fees for 11 months be written in by hand.
With all our personnel changes, if you are no longer in a position of leadership in your unit, please forward this message to the current leadership.
This is important because, beginning January 1, 2015, the former 60-day grace period for lapsed charters disappears. January units not completely and correctly submitted, will DROP on February 1st; we lose the formerly-available 60-day grace period to "fix things".
Questions? Please give me a call (214) 493-5724 (cell) or (972) 253-9328 (home).
I look forward to seeing your unit represented on Sunday. Thanks for all you do for our Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and our community.
Dave Ross, Five Trails District Commissioner

Five Trails Web Site Update
The Five Trails District Web Site Administrator apologizes for the "strange" appearance of the web site. The vendor that hosts our web site made a major change in the hosting platform software with (essentially) no notice, which has resulted in the need to upgrade the software we use for our web site.
It is my intention to accomplish that upgrade as quickly as possible, but in the meanwhile, some of the web pages are being overwritten with error messages which may interfere with some content, especially at the top. Until errors are corrected, Upcoming Events and the Scout Cloud, both of which usually appear below Resources on the left side of our web pages, are temporarily disabled. IF you wish to know about upcoming events, please check the Five Trails Calendar using the menu item to the right of the Home menu item at the top left of the web site, below the picture show.
Thank you for your patience while these errors are corrected as quickly as possible.

Notice: The merit badge college scheduled for Saturday December 12th has been postponed until next year.
If you plan to attend any BSA extended camp in Texas this year, you must have proof that you have attended the state-mandated Face-to-Face (F2F) Youth Protection Training (YPT). Note: Online BSA Youth Protection Training is NOT sufficient!
This applies to all extended BSA camps held in the state of Texas, including any Cub Scout Day Camp, Webelos Residence Camp, Boy Scout Resident Camp (both summer and winter), or Venturing Resident Camp. All adults who plan to be at all or part of these camps must have this training. (Exception: Parents can get a visitors pass to join their Cub Scouts for lunch on Friday (only), in which case F2F YPT is not required.)
Note: The requirement for F2F YPT does not apply to weekend camping or to one-day activities, where the BSA online Youth Protection Training (YPT) will be sufficient.
Remember that F2F YPT is good for two (2) years. This means that IF you took the training in the spring of 2012, your card will expire before this summer's camping season and will need to be renewed.
Both Circle Ten Council and Five Trails District have training sessions scheduled.
Circle Ten Council has added a new training session:
Five Trails District has five training sessions scheduled:
Watch the Five Trails District website to see if/when/where more F2F YPT sessions are scheduled.
If you have questions you can contact Clif Chamberlain, Five Trails YPT Coordinator, via cell phone at 469-223-2313.
Are your boys and girls registered with the BSA? Are you sure?
If your scouts are not registered, they would or could be victims of the following;
-No BSA insurance
-No BSA liability coverage
-Advancement record problems
-Boys Life subscription problems
From October 12th-16th all units are required to send in a copy of your unit's complete roster.
If we do not receive your roster, we will contact your unit leadership on October 19th to review your roster via phone.
Every Scout in your unit must be accounted for.
Be Prepared.

Deluge brings threat of flooding, mudslides to area
Heavy weekend rain carries the potential for flooding and, for several days, mudslides in Western Washington.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Heavy rains in the Cascade Mountains into early Sunday carried the potential of triggering flooding around Western Washington along rivers already running high in an exceptionally soggy start to March.
Even if rains taper off Sunday as predicted, the chance of mudslides will likely continue for days as saturated slopes could give way, according to the National Weather Service.
As of 5 p.m. Saturday, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport had recorded 4.33 inches of rain in March.
Johnny Burg, weather-service meteorologist, said that surpasses a record for the airport's rainiest first eight days in March, which had been 3.62 inches, set in 1950.
It also swamps Sea-Tac's normal total for all of March, 3.72 inches. Two to four inches of rain were expected in the Cascades overnight and into Sunday morning.
The Seattle area was expected to get about an inch, with some coastal areas getting up to three inches.
In King County, road crews Saturday were dealing with water or mud over the roadway in some often-flooded sites near Carnation, Fall City and Duvall.
Amtrak and Sounder rail passenger service between Everett and Seattle is halted until at least 4:30 p.m. Monday, because of mudslides across the tracks at Mukilteo. A slide about 5 feet deep covered the tracks Saturday afternoon. Though freight traffic has since resumed, passenger rail requires a 48-hour wait. Commuters are advised to check soundtransit.org for updates.
The flood potential is compounded by the high freezing level in the mountains, 7,500 feet in the Central Cascades and 6,000 feet in the North Cascades.
"This is all coming down as rain, not snow, and flowing right into the rivers," Burg said.
Sunday's forecast in the Seattle area is for showers, mainly before 10 a.m., and a high near 56.
Showers are also likely for Monday, but then a drying trend kicks in: Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast to be mostly sunny, with highs in the upper 50s.

Over the next 25 years Andre and Harry established a friendship that brought Andre into the world of humans without Andre's ever having to give up his wildness. The human world gave Andre shelter during the harsh New England winter. But staying wild at heart meant Andre had the know-how to be able to make the 200 mile swim home to Rockport. This interspecies friendship weathered every kind of challenge including at the end, Andre's blindness.

- Heythrop chairman quits as west London's 400-year-old Jesuit college considers its future
Mgr Andy McFadden, the Principal Catholic Chaplain to the Royal Navy, has been appointed Principal of the Armed Forces Chaplaincy Centre in Andover – the first Catholic forces chaplain to achieve the senior post.
"To say I was surprised to be offered this post is putting it mildly," he said. "My first reaction was that I will miss going to sea, but then I realised that this is where God wants me – and Andover is less than an hour from Pompey (Portsmouth)."
Originally a parish priest in the Paisley diocese in Scotland, Mgr McFadden has been in the Navy for 16 years, serving in warzones from the Gulf and the Falklands to delivering humanitarian aid to Sierra Leone.
He said he would endeavour to be "an ambassador for the Catholic Church in a truly ecumenical environment." The centre he will lead trains and supports chaplains in all three armed services.
He believes the Church has a special place in the military and rejects any suggestion it should not be involved. He told The Tablet: "The Church has to go out the periphery. The military community is sometimes very much alone, so we work with them and support them."
Mgr McFadden travelled last week to Normandy for the 70th anniversary commemorations of the D-Day landings. He recalled that on the voyage out, his ferry, crowded with ex-servicemen, had slowed off the French coast. "An announcement from the bridge said: 'We are approaching the beaches where 70 years ago you and your colleagues secured the freedom, not only of France, but also Europe and society at large. Back then a spontaneous rendition of "Onward, Christian Soldiers" went across the landing craft. That spirit of courage is with us today."
"They then played the hymn. Some might say it was triumphalistic, but it seemed fitting that their Christian experience should colour their courageous commitment."
Bishop Richard Moth, Bishop of the Forces said "On behalf of the Bishopric, I wish Andy well in his new role. He has my best wishes and prayers as he works to support chaplains and service personnel of all three armed services".

Maybe Oprah should have had a chat with Lindsay Lohan 's sober coach , Michael Cormier , because it seems HE isn't buying her lies! On last night's episode of 'Lindsay' not only did she get sedated, using highly addictive drugs no-less, but we also saw Michael claim he's not entirely sure of the status of Lindsay's sobriety anymore! In other words, he doesn't think she's sober! Lindsay made sure to deny those accusations, but did admit to 'coming close' to slipping back to her old ways.

A Flash In The Night
Create dramatic evening images with a touch of artificial light
To create exciting images at night, a flash is an indispensable tool. Stunning results are possible by simply using a camera's built-in or auxiliary flash unit. Yet there's so much more that you can do with a flash beyond merely turning it on.
There's no reason to be intimidated about using flash. Today's TTL (through-the-lens) metering systems make it incredibly simple to get well-exposed flash images automatically. Just because it's automatic, however, doesn't mean that the images have to be boring. Flash pictures can be just as compelling as any photo shot under the sun.
Flash Fundamentals
To make the most of your flash, it's best to understand how a flash exposure is achieved in a TTL system. In traditional TTL systems, the flash is discharged and the light reflected off the subject returns to the camera through the lens and hits a sensor within the camera body. Based on the ISO sensitivity, the camera quenches the flash as soon as it has determined that sufficient light has hit the subject, all of this occurring within thousandths of a second.

Kansas State apparently has the power to summon the smoke monster from Lost, and the Wildcats have unleashed it on Kansas City in anticipation of tomorrow morning's Farmageddon with Iowa State. This would be an impressive feat if K-State wasn't making the smoke monster's exit from the island look pitifully harmless.
The video (watch it after the jump) is the latest gawd-awful promotional work from the university with a fetish for trains, Ozzy Osbourne and Joe Satriani's guitar work (more on that after the jump, too).
And you were disappointed with the ending of Lost? But it's not like this is the worst video in K-State history. Oh, no.
What's up with this train fetish? I mean, two videos?
Just because you use Ozzy's "Crazy Train" doesn't mean you have to make crappy train animations. And there's still this bit of awful.
I thought this was a cheap knock-off of a Satriani song. Nope. It's just good ol' shitty Joe Satrani himself.
Those are just the ones you can embed from YouTube. There are equally embarrassing examples -- Willie the Wildcat chasing down an arsonist from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Willie playing soldier and a homicidal Willie trying to run over Huskers with a mini combine -- that K-State doesn't want the rest of the nation seeing. Still, the videos aren't quite as embarrassing as having the distinction as one of the nation's 25 most desirable large public
universities taken away because the university misreported admission rates (98 percent of those who apply get in).

I pre-ordered the book because I wanted to get my hands on a Grails 1.1 book as soon as possible. I am a big fan of the Manning Press In Action books but did not want to wait until June in order to get a copy of Grails In Action. I am very happy with my decision to buy and read this book. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning Grails.
Who better to learn Grails from than Graeme Rocher and Jeff Brown?
The first chapter provides a very high-level overview of Grails. The chapter leads you through setting up the basics for the gTunes application, which will be updated and enhanced as you progress through the book.
The second chapter starts to pickup the pace. In this chapter you create the Song domain object for the gTunes application. This domain object provides the basis for discussions about the CRUD functionality provided by Grails and GORM. The concepts of dynamic and static scaffolding are introduced in this chapter. Next, you generate a controller and views for the Song domain object. Lastly, the book provides some explanations about environments (prod, test and dev) along with explanations about configuring data sources using DataSource.groovy.
Chapter 3 provides more details on domain classes, field persistence, transient fields, inheritance, built-in validators and custom validators. This chapter starts the discussion about domain object relationships. Relationships will be very familiar to those readers already familiar with Hibernate but the Grails learning curve for this is so much shorter!
Chapter 4 provides details on controllers within Grails. The chapter begins with some discussion about logging and accessing HTTP request attributes and then moves on to explain controller scopes (request, flash, session and servletContext). Next, the chapter discusses most of the common tasks encountered by controllers: data binding, validating input, creating models and rendering views. The last part of the chapter enhances the gTunes application creating a User domain object, creating a login form/view and implementing some controller methods to support user registration and login for gTunes.
This chapter covers Grails views. For those already familiar with JSP, JSTL and EL, this chapter will feel like a review, except that the views are GSPs (Groovy Server Pages) and not JSPs. Grails has done more of the work for you with their built-in tags, like the <g:collect> tag which allows you to collect properties of objects within a collection or the <g:findAll> tag which allows you to iterate over only those values that meet a certain criteria. Paginating views, one of the nicer features included by Grails, is covered as part of this chapter.
This is one of the smallest chapters in the book. It helps explain how some of the 'convention over configuration' is handled, especially the mapping of Grails URLs and it provides examples of how to make additional changes to the URLs to add additional parameters and including wildcards in the mapping.
The shortest chapter of the book shows the user where in Grails to define the localized messages and the appropriate tags to be used in the views to retrieve those localized messages.
Chapter 8 walks the reader through the process of updating the gTunes application to include some AJAX functionality. Adding AJAX to a Grails application is very easy thanks to the built-in support provided by the framework. By default, Grails supports both the Prototype library and the Scriptaculous effects library.
Grails web flows are built on the Spring Web Flow project using a Groovy domain-specific language (DSL) for the flow creation. This chapter implements a rather lengthy web flow for the gTunes application. Being a new Grails user, I would have preferred a shorter and less complicated example web flow before launching in to the implementation completed in this chapter.
GORM (Grails Object Relation Mapping) covers the many of the same topics needed when you work with Hibernate, except here you learn to do it the Grails way. Configuring GORM, creating criteria queries, HQL, transaction support and performance tuning are all covered.
This chapter provides insight into how Grails uses Spring and Dependency Injection to provide a 'service layer' to Grails. Transaction management is also touched on.
This chapter covers some basic Grails configuration, and then introduces Gant, and integration with Ant and dependency resolution with Ivy. Also covered is integration with Cobertura, Hudson, IDE integration, E-mail servers and Quartz.
This chapter is a tour through plugins, starting with how to list the plugins you currently have installed, how to install new plugins and then how to develop your own plugin. The final sections of the chapter develop a couple plugins for the gTunes application.
The authors mention that rolling your own security implementation would be "rather wasteful give the abundance of security frameworks available for Grails". The list of security plugins includes Acegi (Spring Security), Authentication and JSecurity. Considering that Grails is built on top of the Spring framework, it was surprising to me that the rest of the chapter was spent implementing the JSecurity plugin rather than the Acegi plugin.
When the topic of Web Services comes up, the discussion generally centers around REST vs SOAP. Grails provides REST support out of the box and seems to be a far better fit for Grails than SOAP. REST support is added to the gTunes application along with the ability to create RSS and ATOM feeds and finally a short discussion on implementing SOAP using the XFire plugin.
Chapter 16 shows how to leverage Spring using the Spring DSL provided by Grails. The Spring DSL is used to update the gTunes application to add JMS integration with ActiveMQ.
Unless you are building a new application from scratch using Grails, this chapter is very helpful, covering even more examples of how to integrate with Hibernate and your legacy databases. The examples show the mapping statements along with sample tables to help complete the picture. Hibernate XML and EJB3-compliant mappings are touched on lightly.
The appendix provides a high level overview of the Groovy Language to help refresh the concepts of Groovy for the reader.

"And it went on and on and on......"
This was my first book by this author, and I enjoyed it. All in all I thought it was an interseting story. My problem with it was by the time I got to the end I wanted the story to be over, I was hoping it would soon end! If you are thinking about getting this book I would HIGHLY recomend the abridged version.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention is generally directed to shipping container handling systems and more specifically to a system which incorporates a plurality of electrically powered vertically adjustable jacks. The jacks are selectively engageable with corner castings of conventional shipping containers and are used to raise and lower the containers from a stationary surface or from a truck bed such that the containers are not tilted during loading, off-loading or transferring between vehicles, thereby preventing possible damage to the contents of the containers and without the need for expensive heavy-duty elevating and lifting equipment which is conventionally necessary for handling such containers.
2. Brief Description of the Related Art
To maximize the efficiency of the shipment of goods by various carriers including aircraft, ships, railways trucks and the like, and to allow goods to be transferred from one shipping vehicle to another, the shipping industry has developed standardized shipping criteria with respect to containers for handling goods during shipment. The development of internationally dimensioned shipping containers allows containers to be shipped between countries in such a manner that the containers may be loaded and off-loaded with respect to vehicles with greater efficiency and also allows for goods to be stored with maximum efficiency.
Typical international shipping containers are steel containers of predetermined volume or size which are designed such that one or both of the ends of the container can be opened or accessed to load or discharge goods. Each container also includes lock castings at each of the corners of the container for purposes of allowing containers to be locked in stacked position or to be engaged by hoisting or elevating equipment, such as hoists or cranes which are used to elevate containers from a dock area into the hold of a ship or from a dock to a bed of a truck.
One of the problems associated with the handling of international shipping containers is that heavy-duty lifting equipment must be available at delivery or transfer sites. The need for heavy-duty lifting equipment has limited the deployment efficiency of shipping containers often requiring goods be delivered to the closest available delivery point, where such heavy-duty equipment is available. In addition, should a vehicle such as a truck, break down during transport of a shipping container, it is a difficult problem because heavy-duty lifting equipment must be brought to the site of the breakdown in order to transfer containers from one vehicle to another.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need to develop a system which allows greater flexibility in the handling, loading, off-loading and transferring of international shipping and storage containers at substantially any desired location. Further, it would be preferred that such a system include handling devices which are portable such that they may be carried by the transport vehicle so as to be accessible for use in any location.
In view of the desire to be able to effectively handle large and heavy international shipping containers at substantially any location, it is also preferred that a system be provided which allows for power to be provided by the transport vehicle such that no additional source of power is required at the point at which the containers are to be handled.
A further concern with an effective handling system for shipping containers is to provide for a system which protects goods which are transported within the containers. Currently, some shipping containers are loaded or off-loaded by vehicles having tilt bed loading and off-loading systems. Such systems off-load by tilting the bed of the vehicle, allowing a container to slide from the vehicle to a support surface. By reversing the processes, a container can be elevated by sliding onto a tilted bed of the vehicle and thereafter lowering the bed. Unfortunately, goods are subject to damage when containers are loaded or off-loaded in a tilted or slanted manner and thus such loading and off-loading presents risks of damage to the goods from sliding, unless they are secured inside. Such securing would require measures that would require time, labor, and, materials to provide.
The present invention is directed to a shipping container handling system which includes a plurality of jacks which are designed to be electrically powered, such as from batteries of a transport vehicle, such as a truck. Each jack is designed to be manually manipulable such that the jack may be rolled to and placed on a vehicle for transport with a shipping container or may be secured to the container being shipped. In some embodiments, the jacks may be stored at various predetermined locations for use in handling shipping containers, not only to load or off-load the containers, but to allow for the transfer of the containers from one vehicle to another.
Each jack includes a vertical standard on which separate support guide sleeves are slideably mounted. An upper guide sleeve is rigidly connected to a traveling nut which is threadingly engaged with an elongated vertically extending power screw which is driven by way of a drive connection to the output of an electric motor mounted exteriorly of the standard. An upper attachment member is carried by the upper sleeve and includes a twist lock attachment member which may be operated by an elongated handle which permits the lock to be manipulated from a distance such that, when a container is elevated above the ground, an operator at ground level can easily engage or disengage the lock. A second attachment member including a twist lock is carried by a lower guide sleeve. The lower guide sleeve is connected for simultaneous movement with the upper guide sleeve by way of at least one diagonal brace which is pivotally connected at one end to a housing mounted to the lower guide sleeve and at it's opposite end to the upper guide sleeve.
Due the diagonal and pivotal connection between the upper and lower guide sleeves, the present invention may be utilized to manipulate containers relative to a support surface wherein the support surface may not be level, such as on a sloping driveway, parking lot or the like, while maintaining the shipping container at a relatively horizontal orientation as it is raised and lowered.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper guide sleeve includes concentric inner and outer tube members which are sliding disposed on opposite sides of the central standard of the jack. By providing such a concentric structure for the upper guide sleeve, a greater resistance to any bending force between the upper guide sleeve and the standard is provided.
Although various controls may be provided for the electrical motor associated with each of the jacks, in the preferred embodiment, a remote type RF controller is provided which may be used to simultaneously control four jacks at one time, thus allowing the simultaneous raising or lowering of the drive screws associated with each jack from a single position.
Utilizing four jacks, the attachment members associated with each jack are connected to the shipping container such that the upper and lower attachment members are secured to spaced corner castings of the container. The standard is of sufficient height such that if a container is loaded on the bed of a truck or trailer, the upper and lower guide sleeves may be elevated with the base of the standard engaging the ground until such time as the attachment members are aligned with the upper and lower corner castings. After the twist locks of the attachment members are secured at the corner castings, the electric motors of the four jacks may be activated to selectively raise the container relative to the truck bed or trailer thereby allowing the trailer to be moved from beneath the shipping container, such that within another trailer may be maneuvered beneath the container to allow transfer of the container, or the container may be selectively lowered to the ground or other support surface.
When a container is positioned on a support surface, such as the ground, the jacks are operated to move their attachment members to their lowermost position relative to the standards of the jacks. Thereafter, the attachment members are locked in position in the corner castings of the container. The container may then be selectively elevated to a desired degree to permit loading on a vehicle, such as a trailer or truck bed.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a portable system for loading, off-loading and transferring international shipping containers without requiring conventional heavy-duty equipment, thus allowing containers to be load, off-loaded or transferred at substantially any location.
It is the further object of the present invention to provide a system for handling international shipping containers which permits such containers to be loaded, off-loaded or transferred between vehicles in such a manner the containers are maintained in a horizontal orientation thus limiting possible damage to goods stored within the containers.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a system for handling shipping containers wherein portable jacks are used which are selectively electrically powered utilizing a source of electricity which may include the batteries of a transport vehicle, such as a truck, thus allowing loading, unloading and transferring at substantially any location where power is not otherwise available.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a container handling system which substantially decreases the cost associated with the loading, unloading and/or transferring of international type shipping containers by not only reducing equipment costs associated therewith but also by reducing the amount of manual labor costs, as loading and unloading can be undertaken by a single operator.
A better understanding of the invention will be had with reference to the accompanying drawing wherein;
FIG. 6Ff is an illustrational view showing the container secured to the trailer of
With continued reference to the drawing figures, the shipping container handling system or the present invention will be described with respect to the manner in which the invention is used to manipulate conventional shipping containers �C�. Such containers are of predetermined size and configuration and generally are rectangular in cross section. To allow stable stacking and lifting by various loading and off-loading equipment, such conventional containers include corner lock castings �L� at each of the eight corners thereof. Such castings include three openings, one oriented toward the front or rear of the container, one toward the outside of the container and one toward the top or bottom of the container, depending upon the orientation of the casting. This allows the selective insertion of locking devices associated with equipment for manipulating the containers and also allows the containers to be locked to one another in stacked relationship.
By way of example only, such containers may vary in size from 8′�8′�8′ to 8′�8′�10′ or 8′�8′�20′ or 8′�8′�30′ or 8′�8′�40′. In addition, containers known in the industry as �High Cube� containers may be of sizes 8′�8′ 9″� substantially any length in size.
The present invention utilizes four separate jacks 10 for manipulating a container to either load the container, off-load the container or transfer the container between vehicles, including trucks �T� having trailer beds �B�, as illustrated in the drawing figures. Each jack 10 includes a vertical standard 12 which is formed of generally hollow steel and which is supported by a base plate 13 which steadies the jack relative to a support surface. Generally, the standard 12 will be of a height of which is generally equal to a height of the container �C� as illustrated in drawing
With specific reference to
Mounted interiorally of the standard is an elongated traveling nut 25 which is fixedly secured to an inner wall of an upper guide sleeve 26 of the jack. In the preferred embodiments of the invention, as shown in
The upper guide sleeve 26 carries a housing 32 of an upper attachment member which is securely welded or otherwise secured to the cap plate 23 through which a twist lock 34 is rotatably received. The outer end of the lock includes a lock flange 35 and the opposite end is pivotally connected at 36 to an operating handle 38. As noted in the drawing figures, the handle 38 extends a substantial distance downwardly along the height of the standard of the jack such that it may be manually engaged at a distance from the lock 34 to allow remote movement of the lock, especially when the housing 32 is elevated, as is illustrated in
The twist lock 34 is designed to be inserted within one of the openings of one of the corner lock castings �L� associated with the container after which it may be manipulated in such a manner that the flange 35 locks to the casting thus insuring that the attachment member cannot be disengaged without manual manipulation of the lock by operation of the handle 38.
The jack also includes a lower guide sleeve 40 which is configured to surround the jack standard 12 and is slideable with respect thereto. A strut 41 is securely mounted to the lower guide sleeve 40 and extends therefrom and mounts a housing 42 of a lower attachment member which carries a lower twist lock 43 having an outer locking flange 44 associated therewith. An operating handle 45 is provided for manipulating the twist lock 43 relative to housing 42. The flange 44 of the lock is designed to engaged within a lower corner casting of a container which is vertically aligned with respect to the corner casting in which the upper twist lock is engaged.
To stabilize the lower sleeve relative to the upper sleeve, a diagonally extending stabilizing bar or arm 50 is pivotally mounted 51 to the lower housing 42 and pivotally mounted at 52 to the upper guide sleeve spaced below the housing 32.
To facilitate manual handling of each of the jacks 10, an elongated handle 54 is shown as being secured by connector 55 to the motor housing. Also, a wheel assembly 60 is mounted to the base of the jack.
Each motor includes a motor control assembly 56 which is mounted thereto and which can be activated or controlled by a control device 60, as is shown in drawing
With reference to
A switch 62 is provided for elevating one or more of the jacks and a switch 63 for lowering one or more of the jacks. Switch 64 is an emergency stop and switch 65 is operable to select a particular jack to be operated or to allow all jacks to be operated simultaneously. The controller includes an extendable antenna 66 and is operable by an internal battery (not shown). A battery indicator 66 may also be provided so as to insure that the controller is charged.
With specific reference to
For illustrational purposes,
By way of further illustration of the operative characteristics of the present invention, and with specific reference to
With specific reference to
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented to illustrate the principles of the invention and not to limit the invention to the particular embodiment illustrated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by all of the embodiments encompassed within the following claims and their equivalents.
