20090186674AUGER TROUGH CLEAN-OUT DOOR - An auger trough and associated clean-out door construction of a clean grain and tailings conveying system for an agricultural combine, such construction including a pair of spaced, depending auger trough side walls that extend laterally across a combine between opposed sidesheets, with a removable door panel positionable across the combine between the opposed sidesheets and between said auger trough side walls to form an auger trough base, which door panel is configured to be so engageable with the auger trough side walls to substantially close the bottom of the auger trough and whose opposite ends are configured to be complementarily engageable with engagement features associated with the sidesheets to maintain such door panel in place during harvesting operations and, with such auger trough side walls, to define a generally rigid trough between the opposed sidesheets. Preferably, the door panel has a first end configured to be engageable with and to rest upon a projecting flange on a first of the opposite sidesheets and a second, latch end with an associated latch mechanism for engaging a complementary latching feature on the second of the opposed sidesheets for generally securing the door panel in position as the bottom of the auger trough.07-23-2009
20100267433CONCAVE ADJUST ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A TORSION AXLE FOR DAMPING CROP THRESHING IMPULSE LOADS - The concave adjust assembly uses a torsion axle connecting a drive to a concave.

20150273551AXIAL ALIGNMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING CONCENTRICITY BETWEEN A SLOTTED TUBULAR AND A SEAMER HEAD - An apparatus for keeping a slotted tubular liner in axial alignment with a seamer head through which it is passing adjusts the spatial position of the seamer head in response to inputs from liner centerline sensors. The seamer head is mounted on a seamer head carrier that is vertically movable relative to a seamer head frame, which in turn is horizontally movable relative to a base structure. A programmable logic controller is programmed to continually poll the liner centerline sensors to determine the position of the seamer head relative to the liner, and to instruct vertical and horizontal axis positioners to move the seamer head as necessary to make the seamer head's rotational axis substantially coincident with the centerline of the liner as the liner passes through the seamer head.10-01-2015

20110024454DISPENSING CAP FOR BEVERAGE CONTAINER - A dispensing cap has an open-bottomed flow tube connected to a surrounding skirt by a resilient diaphragm, forming an storage chamber surrounding the flow tube. An annular base cap at the base of the flow tube is releasably engageable with the skirt to close off the bottom of the storage chamber. The dispensing cap is sealingly mountable to a beverage container with the skirt and storage chamber disposed within the throat of the container. A downward force applied to the flow tube will resiliently deform the diaphragm and downwardly disengage the base cap from the skirt, thus releasing the contents of the storage chamber into the container, which can then be agitated to mix the storage chamber contents with liquid in the container. The flow tube extends above the storage chamber and terminates in a flow assembly having a cap sleeve movable between a closed position and an “consume” position in which the contents of the container can flow through the flow tube and out an opening in the cap sleeve.02-03-2011
