| 20120269587 | CONTAINER EMPTYING APPARATUS AND METHOD - This invention relates to a container emptying apparatus including a frame, a first and second tube, a suction tube, a motor, and a sweeper. The frame is adapted to be positioned over an opening of the container. The first tube is mounted on the frame and is in fluid communication with a vacuum source. The second tube is rotatably connected to the first tube and is also in fluid communication with the first tube. The sweeper assembly is connected to the second tube. The suction tube extends from the second tube such that, when the frame of this invention is placed over a container, the second tube, the suction flexible tube, and the associated sweeper assembly are lowered into the container and rotated by the motor such that, when the vacuum source is activated, the suction tube suctions the contents from the container. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20120308314 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING MATERIAL IN A PNEUMATIC MATERIALS HANDLING SYSTEM - Method for handling material in a pneumatic materials handling system, in which material, such as waste material, is input from an input aperture of an input point, such as from an input aperture of a refuse chute or of some other input point, and is handled with a shaping device, arranged in connection with the input point or in the proximity of it, to be more compact and is transferred onwards. The shaping device is a rotary shaper, which includes rotatable handling device, which includes an aperture, which is arranged eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation, and which rotary shaper includes at least one stationary handling device, in which case the material to be handled is conducted into the rotary shaper and/or through it at least partly by means of gravity and/or suction and/or a pressure difference. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20140105694 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONVEYING POWDER FROM A POWDER SUPPLY - The invention relates to a device and a method for conveying powder. A container is provided for the powder, where the powder defines a surface in the container. A suction means has a suction opening for sucking in the powder from the surface. A moving means serves for producing a relative movement between the suction opening and the surface of the powder. During the relative movement, the powder is sucked in, a speed of the relative movement being variable in such a way that there is a constant mass flow. | 04-17-2014 |

| 20150327433 | BAFFLE RETENTION CHANNEL FOR AN INDUCTOR BOX OF AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT - An agricultural product distribution system is presented includes an inductor box configured to receive agricultural product and conveyed air to combine the conveyed air and the agricultural product. The conveyed air is configured to direct the agricultural product through ports to multiple distribution units. Moreover the inductor box includes a baffle retention channel configured to receive a removable baffle. Furthermore, the removable baffle includes at least one opening configured to control an amount of conveyed air directed through the ports to the multiple distribution units. | 11-19-2015 |
| 20150327434 | BAFFLE ORIENTATION DEVICE FOR AN INDUCTOR BOX OF AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT - An agricultural product distribution system is presented that includes an inductor box configured to receive agricultural product and conveyed air to combine the agricultural product and the conveyed air. The agricultural product distribution system also includes a removable baffle configured to control an amount of the conveyed air that flows into each port of the plurality of ports. Furthermore, the inductor box is configured to enable the removable baffle to be slidingly inserted into the inductor box, and the removable baffle comprises a tang configured to at least partially block insertion of the removable baffle into the inductor box while the removable baffle is oriented at an undesirable orientation. | 11-19-2015 |

| 20090257832 | VACUUM DRIVEN BULK RESIN UNLOADING APPARATUS AND METHOD - The present invention relates to a vacuum loader assembly wherein the assembly is comprised of a frame, a first and second tube, a flexible tube, a motor, and a sweeper assembly. The frame is adapted to be positioned over an opening of the container. The first tube is mounted to the frame and is in fluid communication with a vacuum source. The second tube is rotatably mounted to the first tube and is also in fluid communication with the first tube and the sweeper assembly is mounted to the second tube. The flexible tube extends from the second tube such that, when the frame of the present invention is placed over a container, the second tube, flexible tube, and sweeper assembly are lowered into the container and rotated by the motor such that, when the vacuum source is activated, the flexible tube suctions out the contents of the container. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20110158754 | AUTOMATIC MATERIAL FEEDER - An automatic material feeder includes a feeding member defining a feeding track, a driver, a sliding member driven by the driver and defining a latch portion and a transportation portion communicating with the latch portion, a gas generator, an air intake conduit connected to the gas generator, and a delivery conduit. The sliding member transfers material from the feeding track to a position where the latch portion corresponds to the delivery conduit, and the transportation portion communicates with the air intake conduit, and the gas generator generates gas to force the material received in the latch portion to enter the delivery conduit. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20130302097 | STORAGE APPARATUS - A storage apparatus has an annular array of stacked item storage formations, and an epicyclic selector arrangement for extracting items from the array, with a temporary storage unit. | 11-14-2013 |
