Title: Bottom discharge, rotating ring drive silo unloader
Inventor: FOES GORDON F
IPC: A01F25/20
Filed: 1998-01-14
Abstract: This invention relates to a top loading, top unloading bottom discharge, ring drive silo unloader that is adapted for use with a hexapod suspension. The unloader features a stationary support frame with an open center concept. The support frame includes three main support members joined together to form a triangular frame. Three bracing members are added to the support frame to form an interior perimeter with a generally hexagon shape that delineates the open central area. A rotating drive ring is suspended from the support frame. An electric motor drives a chain loop that engages the exterior surface of the drive ring and causes it to rotate. A gathering mechanism that includes a subframe with a telescoping tubular support is suspended from the rotating drive ring. An auger is suspended from the tubular support. The telescoping tubular support is designed to permit installation adjustment so that the silo unloader can fit into a range of silo diameters and accommodate warpage in the round shape of the silo wall. The tubular support and auger are pitched at an angle of about six degrees to facilitate the distribution and gathering of silage across the top layer of the silage. The auger is driven by an electric motor having a drive shaft in line with the auger shaft. Power is supplied to the auger motor via a collector ring. The collector ring is mounted on a tower extending from the tubular support. A double pivoting wall wheel is secured to the end of the tubular support. A hole former is also secured to the tubular support and can be automatically power driven from a central loading position to a offset storage or unloading position. An on-board winch assembly may also be provided to raise and lower the silo unloader.

IPC: G01R31/327
Filed: 1996-07-17
Abstract: With the proposed functional test process for a mechanical switching element, specifically a trigger in a high-voltage power switch, a coil core (2) is set in motion by the magnetic action of a current flowing through a coil (1). The electrical pulse is cut off as soon as the derivative of the measured current characteristic reaches a particular value. This ensures that the movement of the core (2) and plunger (4) can always be stopped without triggering the power switch.

Title: Steel rule die with closely nested cavities
Inventor: JOHNSON MICHAEL J
IPC: B26F1/44
Filed: 1996-10-18
Abstract: A steel rule cutting die for cutting fixed patterns in a single or plurality of stacked material layers (6) according to the shape of the steel rule. The invention provides for a decrease in the quantity of scrap material produced, by minimizing the amount of gap between adjacent cavities (2) in the steel rule cutting die. Presharpened steel rule is used with the cutting edge (5) shifted to the outboard side of the cavity thus reducing the amount of compression or wedging of scrap material between adjacent cavities, and thus allowing adjacent cavities to be positioned closer to one another or to contact one another without reducing the ability to remove the scrap material after the cutting operation. Frayed scrap material can be evacuated through the base of the die by providing evacuation holes (17) in the base substrate of the die as well as providing for evacuation of scrap material from marker notch locations (16) along joined sections of adjacent cavities. A variety of cavity shapes can be accommodated.

Title: Webbing take-up device
Inventor: KAWAMOTO YOSHIHIRO
IPC: B60R22/28
Filed: 1996-11-29
Abstract: The present invention is a webbing take-up device in which the pulling out amount of the webbing can easily be ensured during an emergency of a vehicle. During an emergency of the vehicle, the webbing take-up shaft (16) in the webbing take-up device (10) is locked by a pair of energy absorbing gears (22). When winding/tightening load of a webbing (14) increases, the fastening force by which a male thread (46) of the energy absorbing gear (22) is screwed into a female thread (44) of an energy absorbing ring (34) increases. Accordingly, when force of a predetermined value or more has been applied to a shear pin (50) and the shear pin (50) is bent in a direction of arrow H, the energy absorbing gear (22) can rotate in a fastening direction so that the webbing (14) is fed out.
