A mixing apparatus is disclosed for mixing and discharging livestock feed. The mixer includes a container for the reception of feed, with a floor, and a wall extending away from the floor such that substantially all of the wall is disposed above the floor. The wall and floor define an enclosure for the feed received through the top opening. An auger is disposed within the enclosure, and the auger has an axis of rotation extending substantially vertically through the floor. The auger also includes an upper core which is not concentric with the axis of rotation, so that the flighting and attached knives are closer to the enclosure during one portion of the auger rotation.

Mixing apparatus with non-concentric auger

A rollbar apparatus for a vehicle body is disclosed, for protecting occupants of the vehicle body. The rollbar apparatus includes a first hoop with an inner leg and an outer leg, and a second hoop spaced relative to the first hoop and also including an inner leg and an outer leg. The inner legs of the first and second hoop are disposed adjacent to each other and supported adjacent to the vehicle body. A joining member extends between said inner legs, so that in the event of an accident, the hoops of the rollbar apparatus assist in protecting the occupants of the vehicle from injury.

Rollbar apparatus for automobiles

A discharge apparatus of the type disclosed in co-pending application Ser. No. 09/562,167 filed May 2, 2000. The apparatus includes a container for the reception therein of the feed. The container has a base and a wall extending away from the base. The wall defines an opening which is disposed remote from the base for the reception therethrough of the feed. The arrangement is such that the base and the wall define therebetween an enclosure for the feed received through the opening. An auger is rotatably disposed within the enclosure for mixing the feed. Also, the wall further defines an outlet which is disposed between the base and the opening, the outlet permitting discharge therethrough of the feed. A door is disposed adjacent to the outlet, the door being movable from a closed disposition thereof for obturating a discharge of the feed through the outlet when the feed is being mixed to an open disposition thereof for permitting a discharge of the feed when mixed through the outlet. Additionally, a deflector is disposed adjacent to the outlet for deflecting the feed when mixed through the outlet.

Discharge apparatus for a mixer for mixing and discharging livestock feed and the like

A spreader apparatus is disclosed for spreading manure. The apparatus includes a container which defines an opening for the reception therein of the manure. The container also defines an outlet for the discharge therethrough of the manure. A rotatable feed auger is disposed within and co-operates with the container for feeding the manure through the container. The feed auger has an axis of rotation which extends through the container. A rotatable discharge auger is disposed within the container and co-operates with the container and the feed auger for moving the manure towards the outlet. The discharge auger has a further axis of rotation which is disposed spaced and parallel to and laterally below the axis of rotation of the feed auger. The arrangement is such that when the feed auger and the discharge auger are rotating, the manure is fed by the feed auger from the feed auger to the discharge auger even when the level of the manure drops below the level of the discharge auger so that all of the manure within the container is fed at a substantially constant rate towards the outlet. The spreader apparatus also includes an expeller for expelling the manure through the outlet.

Spreader apparatus for spreading manure

A mixer apparatus is disclosed for mixing materials. The apparatus includes a container which defines an opening for the reception therein of the materials. The container also defines an outlet for the discharge therethrough of the materials. A rotatable feed auger is disposed within and co-operates with the container for feeding the materials through the container. The feed auger has an axis of rotation which extends through the container. A rotatable mixing auger is disposed within the container and co-operates with the container and the feed auger for mixing the materials within the container. The mixing auger has a further axis of rotation which extends through the container. The further axis of rotation is disposed spaced and parallel relative to the axis of rotation of the feed auger. The container also includes a base which has a first portion which co-operates with the feed auger and a second portion which co-operates with the mixing auger. The second portion is disposed at a lower elevation relative to the first portion. The arrangement is such that when the feed auger and the mixing auger are rotating, all the materials within the container are fed at a substantially constant flow rate within the container.

Mixing apparatus for mixing materials

A spreader apparatus is disclosed for spreading manure. The apparatus includes a container which defines an opening for the reception therein of the manure. The container has a first and a second end zone with the first end zone defining an outlet for the discharge therethrough of the manure. A rotatable feed device is disposed within and co-operates with the container for feeding the manure through the container. The feed device has an axis of rotation which extends through the end zones of the container. A rotatable discharge device is disposed within the container and co-operates with the container and the feed device for moving the manure towards the outlet. The discharge device has a further axis of rotation which is disposed spaced and parallel to and laterally below the axis of rotation of the feed device. The arrangement is such that when the feed and discharge devices are rotating, all of the manure within the container is fed at a substantially constant rate towards the outlet.
