A system for creating folds in textiles. The system includes a tooling plate, a loading assembly, a fold mechanism, a wrangler mechanism, and a door mechanism. The loading assembly enable a user to load a textile into the system. The fold mechanism creates folds in the textile. The wrangler mechanism compacts a textile after folds have been created in it to retain and tighten the folds. The door mechanism opens and closes an opening in the tooling plate through which textiles can be transferred away from the wrangler mechanism. Preferably, the system may also include a robot arm equipped to transfer textiles about the system and a tying machine for applying bindings to textiles.

A machine for distributing blowing insulation material from a package of compressed loosefill insulation material is provided. The machine includes a chute having an inlet portion and outlet portion. The inlet portion is configured to receive the package of compressed loosefill insulation material. A lower unit is configured to receive the compressed loosefill insulation material exiting the outlet portion of the chute. The lower unit includes a plurality of shredders and a discharge mechanism. The discharge mechanism is configured to discharge conditioned loosefill insulation material into an airstream. The discharge mechanism includes a hose outlet plate assembly configured to cover an outlet end of the discharge mechanism and is further configured to connect a distribution hose to the discharge mechanism. The hose outlet plate assembly includes a tapered passage extending from the outlet end of the discharge mechanism to the distribution hose.

A machine for distributing blowing insulation material is provided. The machine includes a chute having an inlet portion and an upper portion. The inlet portion is configured to receive a package of compressed loosefill insulation material. The upper portion extends from the inlet portion. The inlet portion and the upper portion have cross-sectional shapes and sizes that closely correspond to a cross-sectional shape and size of the package of compressed loosefill insulation material. A lower unit is configured to receive the loosefill insulation material exiting the chute. The lower unit includes a plurality of shredders and a discharge mechanism. The discharge mechanism is configured to discharge conditioned loosefill insulation material into an airstream. The cross-sectional shape and size of the inlet portion and the upper portion are configured to direct an expansive force of the compressed loosefill insulation material in a direction toward the lower unit.

The invention is generally applicable to a composting container. More specifically, a compositing container is provided that includes a body defining a cavity for receiving material to be composted and an agitator mechanism for agitating or otherwise moving, stirring, shifting, disturbing, disrupting or displacing the material in the cavity. In various additional embodiments, a grating is situated in the cavity that divides the cavity into an upper portion and a lower portion.

A biodegradable lawn waste collection system is provided. The system generally includes a waste receiver, a shaping insert, and a handle. The waste receiver may comprise a mesh structure having a filling end and a sealing end. The mesh structure may be formed from a biodegradable polymer composition. The shaping insert is configured for removable reception within the filling end of the waste receiver. The shaping insert provides the waste receiver with rigidity and stability when filling the waste receiver with lawn waste. After the waste receiver has been filled with lawn waste, the shaping inert is removed and the filling end is secured, such as by tying a knot. The full waste receiver is then releasably attached to the handle, which enables the full waste receiver to be easily carried or dragged to a desired destination.
