Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: A transfer case for a four-wheel drive vehicle having a planetary gear
assembly and a synchronized range clutch which can be selectively shifted on-the-move
establishing high-range and low-range drive modes. The planetary gear
assembly includes a ring gear, a sun gear, a carrier coupled for rotation with an
output shaft of the transfer case, and a pinion gear rotatably supported from the
carrier and which is meshed with the ring gear and the sun gear. The range clutch
includes a first sleeve coupled for rotation with the ring gear and which is rotatably
supported from a second sleeve coupled for rotation with an input shaft of the transfer
case. With the range clutch in a first position, the first sleeve is uncoupled from the
housing and the second sleeve is coupled to the carrier for driving the output shaft
at a first speed ratio relative to the input shaft. With the range clutch in a second
position, the first sleeve is coupled to the housing and the second sleeve is coupled
to the sun gear for driving the output shaft at a second speed ratio relative to the
input shaft.

Abstract: An ortho mode transducer (OMT)/multiplexer assembly (20) having
a corrugated junction (41) and a coaxial dual mode waveguide
resonator (53) disposed around a central cylindrical waveguide
(23). The corrugated junction (41) diplexes signals, the higher
frequencies passing through the central cylindrical waveguide
(23) and the lower frequencies passing through the coaxial dual
mode resonator (53). Apertures (62) in the dual mode resonator
(53) couple to an exit port (86) and extract a first polarization
from the lower frequencies passing through the dual mode
resonator (53). The assembly may include a second aperture (65)
in the dual mode resonator (53) for extracting a second polarization
in a manner similar to the operation of the first aperture
(62).

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to provide a molding
apparatus capable of obtaining an optical element of which
both an optical functional surface and a lens mounting
reference can be molded simultaneously and which has an
appropriate lens thickness. In order to achieve this object,
the apparatus includes a lower mold having one molding
surface on its upper surface, a lower periphery regulating
member for fitting on an outer surface of the lower mold to
regulate an excess of a glass material swelling outward from
the molding surface of the lower mold, an upper mold having
the other molding surface on its lower surface, and an upper
periphery regulating member for fitting on an outer surface
of the upper mold to regulate the excess of the glass material
swelling outward from the molding surface of the upper mold.
When at least one of the upper and lower molds is moved
vertically to press-mold the thermally softened glass
material with the molding surfaces, the excess of the glass
material flows into a space formed by upper and lower ends
of the lower and upper periphery regulating members,
respectively. Positions of the upper and lower ends of the
space where the excess of the glass material flows into change
vertically along edges of the molding surfaces.

Abstract: A transfer case (16) having a mechanically parallel
overrunning clutch (80) and centrifugal, speed proportional
clutch (150) provides improved handling characteristics
especially in off-throttle driving conditions. The
transfer case includes a one-way or overrunning clutch
which provides drive from the rear driveline (20) to the
front driveline (30) to rotate the front driveline and
wheels at least as fast as the rear driveline and
wheels. For example, the one-way clutch will be
engaged when the rear drive wheels lose traction and
attempt to overspeed the front drive wheels. The
clutch overruns, however, if the front driveline and
wheels are urged to overrun the rear driveline. The
mechanically parallel speed responsive, i.e.,
centrifugal, clutch provides speed proportional
engagement or coupling between the two drivelines and
is particularly effective to reduce speed differences
therebetween as its clutching and torque transfer
effects are in direct proportion to the speed
difference between the two drivelines. The preferred
embodiment transfer case assembly is a single speed
device incorporating the overrunning and centrifugal
clutches. A first alternate embodiment transfer case
assembly includes not only the overrunning and
centrifugal clutches but also a speed reducing
planetary gear assembly which provides a reduced speed
drive range in addition to direct drive.

Abstract: A nurse receiver header for an agricultural planting implement is cooperable with a nurse mechanism that conveys a stream of seeds entrained in an air stream (13) from a central hopper (12). A receiver (40) is positioned at the planting mechanism to receive the seeds entrained in the air stream and accumulate a supply of the seeds for utilisation by the associated planting mechanism. The receiver header (45) may include a vent (50) for dissipating the air stream when receiving the seeds for distribution to the receiver. The vent (50) is provided with a hood (52) to keep contaminants from entering the vent and passing into the planting mechanism. The receiver header (45) is positioned so that an appropriate supply of seeds for the planting mechanism fills the tube between the receiver header and the receiver including the vent, resulting in a decreased volume of discharged air for the air stream and a diminished ability for the nurse mechanism to convey seeds. The receiver header (45) can be configured to service multiple receivers. The receiver header is mounted at an angle inclined to the vertical when in an operating position such that the receiver header can be rotated through an angle in the range of 70 - 110 degrees to a transport position without inverting the receiver header, thereby retaining the seeds accumulated in the receiver.

Abstract: A plate member (310), which may be a die plate or a
shim, is adapted to be used within a fluid material
dispensing system, such as, for example, a system for
dispensing or distributing adhesives upon substrates. The
member (310) is provided with a plurality of apertures
equally spaced along the longitudinal extent thereof. The
apertures comprise a plurality of through-bores (320) for
respectively receiving a plurality of fasteners, which are
adapted to secure the plate member to a support structure,
for example, an adhesive manifold or the like. In addition
to the through-bores (320), milled slots (328) are also
provided within the plate member (310). The milled slots
connect the through-bores to a free edge portion (330) of
the plate member. In this manner, when the plate member
(310) is to be removed from the support structure so as to
be replaced with a new or different plate member, the
fasteners need only be untightened, but not removed from
the support structure, the plate member (310) can be
slidably removed from the support structure, a new plate
member (310) can be slidably mounted upon the support
structure, and the fasteners are then re-tightened. The
process of simply untightening the fasteners but not having
to completely remove the same from the support structure,
and then re-tightening the fasteners, saves considerable
operating time and eliminates tedious work for operator
personnel.
