Title: Sickle knife with double overlapping out of phase sickles
Inventor: TALBOT FRANCOIS R
IPC: A01D34/135
Filed: 2004-03-24
Abstract: A sickle knife system includes two reciprocating sickles each cooperating the same fixed knife guards and each extending across the full width of the cutter bar. The guards have slots approximately twice the height of the guard of a conventional single sickle arrangement so that the two sickles can be run one on top of the other inside the guards. The width of the sickle blades at the rear edge is similar to that of the guard near the rear of its cutting edge. The blades of the top sickle are sharpened to cut against the top surface of the slot and the blades of the bottom sickle are sharpened to cut against the bottom surface of the slot. The two sickles are run out of phase, preferably about 90 degrees, so that as a result, when one sickle is near the end of its stroke within the guard where it decelerates, stops, then accelerates in the opposite direction, the other sickle is starting its cut against the side surface of the next guard.

Abstract: A Cafe Blinds.TM. clip for use with standard horizontal venetian blinds, and a process to lock a selected number of slats of the blind in a closed position to increase the overall functionality of a standard horizontal venetian blind system. This is achieved by using the control tilt mechanism to first position all the slats and strings in the desired position. Once the clips are attached to the series of vertical support ladder strings and lift cords, the control tilt mechanism is used to reposition the angle of the unselected slats. The Cafe Blinds.TM. clip is designed to securely immobilize the vertical movement of the front and back strings relative to each other and the capability of the control tilt mechanism to alter the angle of the slats of the horizontal venetian blind below the insertion point of the clips.
