Latest Patents

Barney is credited with 1 patent: “Material Handler with Electronic Load Chart.” The invention describes a material handler with a frame and a telescoping boom that pivots between lowered and raised positions and moves between retracted and extended positions. A boom extension sensor measures how far the boom extends, while a boom angle sensor measures its pivot angle. A control system receives signals from both sensors and displays a cursor at a position determined by those measurements, providing an electronic representation of the boom’s operating position.
