The invention is directed to a mobile bin device having a mobile bin with a first conveyor extending along the bottom of the bin beneath a bin opening to convey material in the bin to one end of the bin. A second belt conveyor has one end pivotally mounted to the one end of the bin to pivot relative to the bin upward and downward and to one side or the other. The second conveyor is slidably mounted in its pivotal mounting to side longitudinally in the mounting to along the one end of the bin beneath the one end of the first conveyor to shorten or lengthen the distance from the outer end of the first conveyor to the outlet end of the second conveyor at the one end of the bin. Power devices are provided to power the upward and downward movement of the second conveyor and the longitudinal movement of the second conveyor.

Mobile apparatus with plurality of conveyors

The invention is a mobile bin with two conveyors with each mounted on a main frame and with the main frame having wheels for rotatably supporting the vehicle along the ground. The bin has an opening along its bottom and the first belt conveyor is mounted beneath the opening in the bin and its remote ends extend to the opposite ends of the bin. A second elongated belt conveyor pivotally mounted about a vertical axis on the main frame of the bin vehicle from a storage position parallel in length to and beside and below the first belt conveyor to different positions laterally in length to the first belt conveyor with it one end remaining below and now beneath the one end of the first belt conveyor, said second belt conveyor being further pivotable about its one end on said mean frame to raise and lower the other end of the second belt conveyor while its one end remains below and beneath the one end of the first belt conveyor, whereby material may be conveyed from the bin opening by the first conveyor to its one end and then conveyed onto the second conveyor beneath the one end of the first conveyor whereupon it may be conveyed by the second conveyor laterally outward or laterally outward and upward from the one end of the first conveyor.

Conveying, spreading and milling apparatus

The invention comprises a scraper and drag attachment for a tractor. The attachment has a main frame with a hitch at it forward end for attachment to a tractor. A scraper is fixed to the main frame behind the hitch and a first pivotal frame is pivotally mounted to the main frame behind the scraper. A pair of wheel frames each having a wheel rotatably mounted thereon are individually pivotally mounted to the main frame behind the scraper and laterally adjacent one another. A piston and cylinder is pivotally connected between the first frame and one of the wheel frames and a rod has its end pivotaly connected between the other wheel frame and the first frame; and a second piston and cylinder is pivotally connected between the main frame and the first frame, whereby the first piston and cylinder may be actuated to telescope or retract to pivot the one wheel frame and its wheel at an up or down, relative to the second wheel frame and its wheel, to an adjusted angle, and the second piston and cylinder may be actuated to raise or lower the first frame and wheel frames with the wheel frames and wheels remaining at their adjusted angular position relative to one another. A drag is pivotally mounted on a second frame which second frame is pivotally mounted to the main frame and a pair of chains are adjustably connected between the second frame and first frame whereby raising and lowering the first frame will raise and lower the drag with drag at a height relative to the device depending upon, the chain adjustment between the first frame and second frame.

The invention comprises a mobile trailer having a frame with a set of wheels on the frame for hauling the trailer and a pair of storage bins on the frame in side by side spaced relation with one bin adapted to a receive peat with a mixing blade to mix the peat and the other bin adapted to receive sand. The bins have openings along their bottoms and connecting openings along their vertical front walls with vertically adjustable plates to vary the sizes of the vertical openings. Horizontal conveyors are mounted beneath the bottom openings to the bins. Collecting and mixing blades are in the front of the trailer and a rotating spreader mounted to the rear upper portion of the trailer. An inclined conveyor is mounted with its lower end beneath the mixing blade and its upper end above the spreader. The trailer has power take off means with a drive connection to a tractor to be connected to power the collecting and mixing blades, the conveyors, and spreader, whereby the bin openings may be opened to selected sizes to allow the materials to gravitate from the bins onto the horizontal conveyors, and the horizontal conveyors may convey the materials to the collecting and mixing blades for collecting and mixing the materials and the inclined conveyor may convey the mixed materials of sand and peat up to the spreader to gravitate onto the spreader to spread the mixed materials on the ground.

A luggage rack is provided for mounting on the roof of a vehicle. The luggage rack includes a pair of elongated side rails securable to the roof. A slot is provided in each slide rail to receive the tongue of a stanchion. A detachable cross member extends between stanchions provided on each side rail. The stanchions permit slidable adjustment of the cross member along the length of the side rails. The tongues of the stanchions and the slots in the side rails are angled outwardly to prevent removal of the stanchions and cross member after they are mounted.

Luggage rack for a vehicle

A vehicle for stringing cable from a spool. A motor may be used to rotate the spool, and a multibrake system may be used to inhibit the rotation of the spool. The brake system includes a variable, light resistance brake capable of being activated when the vehicle is either moving or parked and includes a nonvariable, strong resistance brake capable of being actuated only when the vehicle's parking brakes are used. When the strong resistance brake is applied and thereafter the motor is used to rotate the spool to take in or pay out cable, the strong resistance brake is automatically disengaged during such rotation and is automatically reapplied when such rotation ceases.

Our transfer mechanism is attached to the front of a conventional combine. The transfer mechanism includes a number of longitudinally spaced rows of laterally spaced curved teeth or tines that move rearwardly and upwardly so that the tines of each row successively engage a growing or standing crop, such as pinto beans or field peas, lifting the crop sufficiently so that the cutter bar of the combine effectively severs the crop adjacent the surface of the ground. Continued rearward and upward movement of the tines, while still engaging the severed crop, transfers the crop to a more elevated location adjacent the auger. When the tines reach the auger, the shaft on which those particular tines are mounted is angularly rotated so as to release or dump the severed crop onto a curved floor beneath the auger. The auger moves the cut crop laterally and then rearwardly into the threshing portion of the combine.
