Patent CA-2043475-A1 (CA)
IPC: A01D34/76
Filed: 1991-05-29
Abstract: A cutterbar for a rotary mower includes a gear housing containing a series-parallel spur gear train coupled for driving cutting units spaced along the cutterbar.  The gear housing, as viewed from an end, defines a cavity which is wedge-shaped in cross section with the deep part of the wedge being located at the rear of the cutterbar.  As considered when the cutterbar is leveled from end-to-end and disposed for cutting crop at a relatively high level, a top wall of the cavity extends substantially horizontally and the spur gears contained within the cavity are positioned close to and parallel to the top wall so that a substantial volume is left below the gears for containing lubricant.  A plurality of fore-and-aft extending, transversely spaced ribs are formed along a bottom wall of the housing at a level below the gearing whereby the ribs serve to prevent the lubricant from moving quickly towards a lower end of the cutterbar when the latter is working on a slope.  Provided in a lower rear location of each rib is an orifice which serves to permit lubricant to drain to the low end of the cutterbar when it is desired to remove the lubricant from the cutterbar by way of an appropriate drain hole.  A sight gauge is provided at each end of the housing for viewing the lubricant level for aiding in leveling the cutterbar from end-to-end and then for determining if the lubricant level is that desired.

Title: Decorative molding strip system for protecting a vehicle from impacts
Inventor: HOPPERDIETZEL SIEGFRIED
IPC: B60R13/04
Filed: 1991-06-05
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A molding strip system for use on a support such as a automobile, to provide decoration or protection from minor impacts, includes an elongated molding member, fastening elements for mounting the molding member on the support, and a retaining member at the end of the molding member.  The retaining member includes an end cap and a tongue-shaped projection which fits into an elongated cavity in the molding member.  In one embodiment, the fastening elements extend into the cavity through a continuous slot in the rear side of the molding member.  Furthermore the tongue-shaped projection has an opening which accommodates a spring with a detent for latching the retaining member to the molding member and another opening which receive part of the nearest fastening element to precisely position it.  In another embodiment, the fastening elements extend into the cavity through individual keyhole-shaped openings.  This embodiment also has a spring with a detent for latching the retaining member to the molding member.  Furthermore the end of the tongue-shaped projections keeps the nearest fastening element at the narrow end of its keyhole opening.  This not only precisely posi-tions the fastening element with respect to the end cap and hence the end of the molding member, it also prevents the fastening element from reaching the large end of its keyhole opening.

Title: Monitoring of charges debited to an account having an assigned limit
Inventor: AMARANT BRENDA B
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 1992-08-19
Abstract: Charges and balances assignable to a credit card account are controlled and monitored by assigning a purchase limit to the card. More specifically, when a card is used to pay for a telephone call on a telecommunication network, the validity of the card is verified in, for example, a network database and the card record is examined for the presence of a purchase limit. If the card has a purchase limit, the network database determines the type of purchase limit whichapplies and if the balance is positive. If the balance is not positive and the purchase limit applicable does not authorize the extension of credit, a denial response is sent from the network database to an appropriate local operator system which provides a denial indication to the caller. If the available balance is positive, the network database forwards the balance to the operator system. Based upon the balance returned in the reply from the database, the operator system sends a request to a rating processor to determine the length of time the callermay talk. If the rating database cannot ascertain the amount of time a caller can speak, for whatever reason, the call is denied. Thus, the balance is used to determine how long the caller can speak. At various predetermined intervals during the call and immediately after the call has been completed, the actual charges are calculated and forwarded to the network database. If during a call, the maximum duration is exhausted, the operator system will terminate the call, calculate the actual charges, and forward the charges to the network database. The network database decrements the balance with each intermediate update from the operator system. At the termination of a call, the network database adjusts the card holders balance a final time to maintain the purchase balance accuracy.

Abstract: ABSTRACT     Containers for beverages are rotated about their own axes and are simultaneously transported past a water applying sponge and thereupon past an applicator of labels which completely surround the peripheral surfaces of the respective containers so that the leader of each label is overlapped by its trailing end.  The films of water which are applied by the sponge reduce the likelihood of slippage of labels relative to the peripheral surfaces during draping of the labels, and such films evaporate when the application of labels is completed so that the labels surround but do not adhere to the containers.  The trailing ends of the labels are coated with adhesive which bonds them to the respective leaders.
