A dwelling assembly that has a continuous sidewall and an opening for a door and a window. A roof assembly is provided with first and second roofs that are spaced apart such that the outer roof acts as a heat shield for the inner roof to ensure the interior of the dwelling is a minimum temperature. In addition, ballast boxes are utilized in order to provide additional weight to the dwelling and a planting area in association with the dwelling assembly.

Dwelling assembly

Vent assembly for a grain bin

A floor support for a grain bin floor made from a sheet of galvanized steel having a top surface, a bottom surface and flat ends. The floor support has a plurality of flanges and notches disposed within the top surface and a plurality of openings disposed through the sheet of galvanized steel. Positioned between each opening is a first bend. Positioned on either side of selected first bends is a second bend thereby forming a z-shaped floor support.

Support for a grain bin floor and method of making the same

A support for a grain bin having an elongated body with a back surface bent to form support surfaces that extend outwardly from the back surface to form a cavity therein. Connected to the elongated body is a base having a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The horizontal portion having corners that extend upwardly to form flanges that engage the support surfaces of the elongated body.

Stiffener and base assembly for a grain bin

A mounting bracket having a vertical member with a back portion and side flanges where the back portion has a plurality of slots and holes and the side flanges have slots at both ends. Adjustably connected to the vertical member is a shoe with a bottom portion and side flanges that extend upwardly and are aligned with the side flanges of the vertical member. The shoe is positioned substantially perpendicular to the vertical member to form a generally L-shaped bracket.

Mounting bracket for grain bin

A flashing apron for use in grain bins roofs which has apron segments comprised of a single sheet of metal with a plurality of spaced crease lines therein wherein the crease lines create a plurality of truncated areas in an upper surface of the apron segment. Each apron segment has a side edge comprising a downwardly bent lip which fits underneath a side edge of an adjacent apron segment which is planar in shape and which lies on or above the bent lip. Suitable fasteners are provided to secure the apron segments together to create a composite flashing apron for mounting around the circular ring at the apex of the grain bin roof.

Implements for the removal of insects from plants are provided which dedicate an individual axial flow centrifugal fan unit to each crop row unit. The fan unit also destroys the insects so removed. The frame of the implement can be articulated and driven in such a manner so as to permit fan unit position adjustment while the fans are driven and running. In some embodiments, each fan unit is constructed with means which directs at least a portion of the exhaust of the fan to the plant row in order to further facilitate insect dislodgement and removal into the intake of the fan.

Implement for the removal of insects or the like from plants

An improved grain bin floor support system which utilizes a plurality of floor supports for supporting interlocking floor panels. The floor support is constructed of an upper rail for supporting floor panels, vertical members extending from the upper rail to the foundation of the bin, and a horizontal member which is attached to the vertical members and disposed between the upper rail and the base of the bin. The upper rail has a plurality of recesses and crowns between the recesses. The floor panels have a generally planar top portion and depending flanges which engage in nesting relation with the adjacent flange of the adjacent panel. The depth and spacing of the recesses along the upper rail are such that the floor panels are supported by engagement of the recesses of the upper rail against the depending flanges.

Floor support system

A ridge tillage attachment includes springs associated with a linkage which guides a tool and wheel support beam for vertical movement, the springs being mounted within the linkage envelop to provide a compact arrangement and being operative to apply required forces to to a tool and wheels carried by the beam, while facilitating disassembly of the attachment when desired. The attachment also includes a structure which securely connects wheel axles to the support beam with a clamping action while being adjustable to provide a large range of relative positional values.

Ridge tillage attachment for planters

A rotary grain screener is disclosed in which the primary grain-advancing flighting is mounted on the internal surface of the rotary screener drum and an inner auger is mounted on a central axial drive shaft to advance the grain forward in the drum at a greater rate than is accomplished by the flighting on the internal surface of the drum. The screener drum is supported on the central drive shaft which has a support bearing on the input auger housing and the drum is further provided at the input end with two annular bearing plates which are attached to the end plate of the drum and have a close fit around the input auger housing for closure and support purposes. A single motive power source drives the drive assembly which operates both the input auger and the screener drum.
