A continuous feed machine for trimming and separating plant material, the machine having one or more augers or conveyors for feeding plant material into a trommel barrel covered with mesh netting, adapted to include baffles between longitudinal sections of the trommel barrel, and sized for rotational speeds to so as to process the plant material as components of the plant material progress longitudinally through successive sections of the trommel barrel. The mesh netting trims plant material as it moves through the trommel barrel, with the trim falling through the mesh netting. One or more augers or conveyors may be used to remove trimmed plant material exiting an output end of the trommel barrel, and one or more augers or conveyors may be used to remove trim material from below one or more sections of the trommel barrel.

Continuous feed multi-purpose plant/flower trimmer and separator

An improved device for athletic exercise by pulling at a resisting force. The device consists of a number of spring housing assemblies that are stacked and clamped in a column with at least one pulley wheel assembly to which a cord and pull handle is attached. A grooved metal shaft is disposed throughout the column longitudinal axis to drive all the constant-force spring assemblies which are stacked inside the device when the pulley wheel is caused to rotate. A person uses the device by first selecting which spring assemblies he wants to produce a particular resisting force level, by pushing separate selector levers, one for each spring. He then pulls at the pull handle to experience the chosen resisting force. The device design allows a user the choice of many resisting force levels, using only a small number of spring assemblies. The device is small, light in weight and conveniently shaped for easy attachment to any suitable restraining object.

Athletic exerciser pulling device

A device for athletic exercise by pulling at a resisting force. The device consists of a small cylindrical enclosure containing a number of constant force, circular wound spring assemblies, having a pulley molded to the enclosure, and having a force selector assembly connected to the enclosure which also serves to hold the device in any fixed location. A cord is wound around the pulley during assembly and its free end is attached to a pull-handle. A person uses the force selector by manually moving a spring-loaded adjustment knob through slots in the selector assembly to a slot which corresponds to the desired force level. This action causes a spring-engagement rod inside the selector assembly to engage the number of spring assemblies that will produce the selected resisting force when a person pulls at the pull handle. The device is small and light in weight. Provision is made for attachment of the device to any suitable restraining object or static equipment.
