    摘要: A grain bin has a top opening with a hopper for receiving grain that is directed downwardly to a spreader supported for rotation by a vertical shaft. The spreader has an elongated inclined chute having a V-shape cross-section. The chute has a center portion having an opening with a trap door pivoted or controlled from a mechanism operable from the top opening of the bin. A deflector is positioned under the trap door opening and rotates the chute in response to the flow of grain through the opening. The chute has an extension that also supports a pivotal deflector.

    摘要: A sheet metal lid has a rim portion removably secured and sealed to a container and the lid includes a vent button having a top wall portion surrounded by a side wall portion and an outwardly projecting flange portion. The flange portion of the button has a short arcuate score or shear line extending substantially into the sheet metal, and additional score lines extend into the flange portion at lesser depths to protect a coating on the inner surface of the lid. A resilient sealant material may be bonded to the inner surface of the vent button, and the opposing sheet metal portions of the score line form a small gap for releasing a vacuum or pressure from the container in response to a controlled downward pressure on the top wall portion of the vent button.

    摘要: A self-retracting knife includes a housing having a forward end defining a blade aperture, and a blade carrier supports a removable knife blade and is movable within the housing from a fully extended position with the blade projecting from the blade aperture and a fully retracted position by a tension spring. An anti-retraction latch member is supported by the housing and is movable with finger pressure to a position that stops the blade carrier from fully retracting so that the knife blade is partially extended through the blade aperture. In other embodiments, the blade carrier extends through a carrier aperture at the opposite end of the housing for extending the blade carrier, and an adjustable extension limiter also extends through the carrier aperture for limiting forward movement of the blade carrier and projection of the blade through the blade aperture.

    摘要: A light-emitting device, notably a lighting and/or signaling device for a motor vehicle, including at least one first light source intended to emit a first modulated light beam coding information; at least one second light source intended to emit a second modulated light beam coding information; a control device adapted: to determine, on receiving information to be transmitted via the light-emitting device, if a first light beam intended to be emitted by the first source should be modulated to code the information to be transmitted and/or if a second beam intended to be emitted by the second source should be modulated to code the information to be transmitted, the determination depending on information relating to the local solar illumination; as a function of the determination, to modulate the first light beam and/or the energization second light beam to code the information to be transmitted.
