Latest Patents
Dominic holds a patent for a refined intermodal vehicle designed for forming a train of highway trailers. This innovative vehicle features a unitary upper frame assembly with leading and trailing load-carrying surfaces. These surfaces are strategically spaced below the ends of a continuous drawbar, allowing for the connection of highway trailers. Each trailer is equipped with leading and trailing coupler socket assemblies that have vertically spaced apart aligned apertures. The refined design includes a coupling pin that passes through the continuous drawbar, tightly engaging the apertures in the associated coupler socket. This allows the coupling pin to rock within the drawbar as the associated trailer moves relative to the upper frame assembly.
