A tarp deployment system for unwinding and taking up a flexible tarpaulin. The system includes a tarp deployment machine and a spool configured to receive and retain a flexible tarpaulin. A spool gear extends radially from at least one end of the spool. A cylindrical cage has a series of parallel shafts parallel to an axis shaft of the cage. A cage gear extends from the cage axis shaft and a drive mechanism drives the cage gear in order to rotate the spool. Power is transmitted to the cage gear which then rotates the cylindrical cage which engages and rotates the spool gear.

Interchangeable tarp deployment system

A weight system for a landfill tarpaulin. A pair of parallel chains are retained within a pair of sleeves in the tarp. A plurality of parallel wire lines traverse the tarpaulin. A plurality of elongated coupler bodies are provided with each coupler body having a first end terminating in an eyelet, a second, opposed end terminating in a hollow recess, and an attached threaded protrusion to the underside of the body. A chain fastener passes through one eyelet, passes through one of the links of the chain, and passes through the sleeve of the tarp. A tarp fastener passes through a washer, passes through the tarp, passes through an optional washer, and is threadably connected to the elongated coupler body. Each end of the wire lines is received and held in place by the hollow recess.

A zip line includes a substantially rigid track supported above a ground surface by a plurality of supports, a trolley which moves along the track, and a rider support suspended from the trolley. The track is comprised of a plurality of track segments connected together such that adjacent track segments have substantially no freedom of movement relative to each other, and such that adjacent track segments present a substantially smooth, continuous, and uninterrupted surface. The track includes a run and a flange extending upwardly from the run. The trolley comprises a frame having upper wheel mounts to which first and second upper wheels are rotatably mounted. The first upper wheels are oriented such that they engage an upper surface of the track run and the second upper wheels are oriented such that they will engage the track flange upon rotational movement of the trolley relative the track run.

A curtain wall panel includes frame with a first frame member defining a channel, a cover configured to extend over the first frame member, a spacer formed of a thermally insulating material, the spacer including a first end, a body, and a second end, the first end being configured to be secured in the channel of the first frame member in a cammed interference fit by rotating a body of the spacer, and the second end being configured to form a cammed interference fit with the cover. An insert is supported from the first frame member by the spacer with the cover fit onto the spacer to capture and secure the insert relative to the frame.

Thermal break for curtain wall

An overhead transportation system comprising for a depending and longitudinally traversible vehicle an overhead trackway as a pair of longitudinally slottedly vented tubular conduits maintained above the earth's surface with a series of pillars and having an overlying protective shield. The vehicle powering means comprises a pair of co-traversible jet engines situated within respective conduits and connected to the underlying vehicle with a dual-arms hangar means along which arms the engines' fuel-line extends. The trackway is lubricated from a longitudinally extending lubeline with syncronizeably operated nozzles spaced therealong and communicating with the conduit innerwall, and a longitudinally extending troughline collects the liquid lubricant, there being provision for re-cycling the lubricant for high-pressure re-injection into the conduits through said lubeline nozzles.
