Title: Animal-activated feeding systems
Inventor: WELBOURNE STEPHEN B
IPC: A01K39/024
Filed: 2005-10-18
Abstract: Animal-activated feeding systems that include a self-sealing valve assembly and a buoyant activation member restriction mechanism. The valve assembly is adapted to deliver a flow of liquid feed to a vessel from which an animal may drink. The valve assembly includes a valve body, which defines a feed flow path, a valve member, which is configured to selectively obstruct the feed flow path, and a feed~flow activation member, which is coupled to the valve member. The activation member is positionable between a sealed position and a range of activated positions. The restriction mechanism is slidingly coupled to the activation member and positionable between a range of neutral positions and a range of engagement positions. In the range of neutral positions, the restriction mechanism permits activation of the activation member. In the range of engagement positions, the restriction mechanism is adapted to restrict at least further activation of the activation member.

Title: Apparatuses and methods for removing particulate materials
Inventor: LEASE DANIEL T
IPC: B08B7/02
Filed: 2007-04-05
Abstract: A vibratory apparatus for removing particulate materials from an object includes a container having a curved inner surface disposed about a generally horizontally extending longitudinal axis, the container being resiliently supported above a base. A plate is disposed in the container with a first edge spaced from the curved surface of the container and a second edge proximate to the curved surface of the container, the plate having openings therethrough. A vibration generator produces a vibratory force to cause the object and media within the container to be moved in a generally rising and falling path of rolling movement along the curved inner surface, the motion of the object being impeded by the plate while the motion of the media is not impeded by the plate, the media instead moving through the openings in the plate.

Title: Improved collapsible spreader
Inventor: COURTNEY STEVE
IPC: A01C15/04
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: An improved collapsible spreader with a spread rate selection mechanism including a knob and a rotatable cup-shaped structure. The cup-shaped structure includes an elongated setting tab and a thirty-six step edge corresponding to thirty-six spread rate settings on the knob. Operatively engaged with the cup-shaped structure is an abutment tab that is part of a closure structure for blocking and selectively unblocking a hopper opening.  The tab engages the setting tab to define the adjustable length of the closure structure. Thereafter, abutment rate selection is a function of the rotatable position of the cup-shaped structure. Engagement of the abutment tab and a step defines the size of the hopper opening and thus the amount of product released from the hopper during operation. The spreader also includes a dual spring arrangement to bias the closure structure to a closed position and to prevent breakage. The disclosed spreader also features a one piece wheel to reduce parts and assembly costs.
