Appl. No.:

6/131751

Inventors:

William D. Morrow - Houston TX
William R. Bath - Houston TX

International Classification:

F16C 1706

US Classification:

212175

Abstract:

A bearing assembly for a pedestal crane including at least one arcuate shoe adapted to be disposed about the pedestal and mounted with the upperworks of the pedestal crane, with mounting members for releasably mounting the arcuate shoe with the upperworks of the pedestal crane, and further having bearing means with the arcuate shoe for engaging the outer surface of the pedestal for reducing friction between the upperworks and the pedestal when rotating the upperworks of the pedestal crane about the pedestal.

US Patent:

59018640, May 11, 1999

Filed:

Apr 23, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/842235

Inventors:

William D. Morrow - Houston TX

Assignee:

SeaTrax, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

B66C17/06

US Classification:

212179

Abstract:

A movable pedestal or kingpost type luffing crane that includes an upperworks, having a crane boom, rotatably mounted on a crane support. The crane support extends below the upperworks. The movable crane is constructed to be selectively maintained in or removed from a receiving socket. Movement prevention means prevents the radial and vertical movement of the crane support in the receiving socket. Anti-rotation means prevents the rotation of the crane support in the receiving socket. A centering means is also provided which facilitates the centering of the crane support means within the receiving socket. Providing a plurality of receiving sockets located at predetermined locations provides a system wherein the movable crane may be moved from socket to socket and from location to location.

US Patent:

41846001, Jan 22, 1980

Filed:

Mar 31, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/892018

Inventors:

John B. Goss - Houston TX
William D. Morrow - Houston TX

International Classification:

B66C 2384

US Classification:

212 70

Abstract:

The method for removing a bearing assembly disposed between a revolving turntable of a pedestal crane assembly and the pedestal and a removable bearing assembly for a pedestal crane, wherein the method includes activating a support member coacting between the revolving turntable and the upper end of the pedestal for raising and supporting the pedestal crane assembly from the support column of the pedestal, centering the revolving turntable about the support column of the pedestal with alignment structure, removing a retainer plate that secures thrust and radial bearings in position with respect to the revolving turntable and the upper end of the pedestal to permit access and removal of the bearings.

US Patent:

42806283, Jul 28, 1981

Filed:

May 14, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/038814

Inventors:

John B. Goss - Houston TX
William D. Morrow - Houston TX

International Classification:

B66C 1500

US Classification:

212266

Abstract:

A new and improved anti-two block system adapted to be used with a crane for the prevention of damage to the boom tip of the boom of the crane by the travelling member wherein the two block system of the present invention includes an engaging mechanism movably mounted with the boom tip for engaging the travelling member when the travelling member moves into close proximity to the boom tip during lifting operations of the travelling member with the crane for the prevention of damage thereto.

US Patent:

40674479, Jan 10, 1978

Filed:

Dec 29, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/644808

Inventors:

John B. Goss - Houston TX
William D. Morrow - Houston TX

International Classification:

B66C 1348

US Classification:

212 86

Abstract:

An anti-two block system adapted to be used with a crane having a sensor device mounted with the boom point of the crane in communication with a hoisting actuator mechanism such that the sensor device effects movement of the hoisting lever of the crane to discontinue the lifting force exerted on the lifting line when the travelling member engages the sensor device.

US Patent:

53280407, Jul 12, 1994

Filed:

Dec 23, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/995956

Inventors:

William D. Morrow - Houston TX

International Classification:

B06C 2384

US Classification:

212253

Abstract:

A crane design which permits limited rotation in the plane of loading of the upperworks of a pedestal crane independently of the central support thereof, and independently of the thrust and radial bearings about an extension of such central support. Means for centering the vertical loading vector and horizontal overturning moments by restricting the possible displacements thereof are disclosed, as are methods for accomplishing the same.
