Abstract: A garage door cable drum is disclosed for a sectional overhead door of a type having a substantially non-linear lift-weight to lift-height characteristic. The drum includes a generally spiral cable groove having a variable minor radius. The groove minor radius at any intermediate point along the groove is sized to provide a lift-cable moment arm that yields a corresponding cable lift force that is slightly less than an instantaneous lift weight of the garage door at any intermediate door elevation.

Abstract: A device for bending an extremity of a torsional spring. The device includes a base plate; at least one flange projecting from the base plate; at least one bulge projecting from the at least one flange; a lever arm pivotally mounted onto the at least one flange about a first pivot axis; and at least one cam pivotally mounted onto the lever arm about a second pivot axis. The lever arm is operable between first and second positions and each cam has a contact surface being positioned for operatively cooperating with a corresponding bulge. Prior to the bending operation, the extremity of the torsional spring is inserted between a given bulge and the contact surface of a corresponding cam when the lever arm is in the first position. In operation, the extremity of the spring is bent about the given bulge by the contact surface of the corresponding cam when the contact surface is urged towards the bulge and forced about the same over the extremity of the spring as the lever arm is operated into the second position. The device enables an easier, simpler and more cost effective way of bending an extremity of a torsional spring, without the use of heat for bending the spring tail, and may be easily transportable from one site to another. Moreover, the device can be used for bending the extremities of torsional springs having different wire sizes.

Abstract: A plug for operatively connecting an extremity of a torsion spring to another corresponding component of a counterbalancing assembly. The plug includes a collar and at least one connecting flange. The collar defines a longitudinal axis, and includes first and second opposite ends, the collar being shaped and sized for removably mounting onto the extremity of the torsion spring. Each connecting flange is provided on the first end of the collar for connecting the plug onto the corresponding component of the counterbalancing assembly. The improvement lies in that the collar has first and second sections, the first section being adjacent to the first end of the collar and having a peripheral surface being provided with threading for threadedly engaging the extremity of the torsion spring, and the second section being adjacent to the second end of the collar and having a peripheral surface being tapered with respect to the peripheral surface of the first section so as to minimize interference with an internal portion of the torsion spring when the collar is removably mounted onto the extremity of the torsion spring.

Abstract: A plug for use in a counterbalancing mechanism of a cable-operated door. The plug is used for operatively connecting an overhead shaft to a torsion spring co-axially mounted thereon. The plug includes a cylindrical collar and a cylindrical flange. The cylindrical collar has opposite first and second portions and is provided with a hooking slot for hooking a free end of the torsion spring thereon, and the torsion spring having a segment coaxially mounted about the first portion of the collar. The cylindrical flange is rigidly affixed to the second portion of the collar and is used for transferring a torque between the torsion spring and the overhead shaft when the flange is securely fixed about the overhead shaft. The plug is characterized in that the collar is eccentrically mounted about the overhead shaft, thereby allowing the plug to be used when the radial space between the plug and the overhead shaft is limited and also preventing the overhead shaft from being damaged by the free end of the torsion spring.

Abstract: A spreading device for confined application of grain type materials along a well-defined path on a road from a conveyor of a storing tank mounted on a moving vehicle includes a chute member mounted thereon that receives the materials from the conveyor and substantially drops them generally vertically under gravity on the road along the path in proximity and in front of a roller. The latter stops the materials relative to the road and confines, or packs, them on the road. The spreading device is adapted to be mounted on either side of the vehicle, in line with its wheels.

Abstract: A system for forming a cementitious structure of cementitious material on a ground surface is provided. The system consists of at least one pair of moulds, each mould having at least one pathway disposed thereon, and at least one brace having two spikes connected to one another by a connecting member. The spikes are inserted into the pathways to space the moulds apart, via the connecting member, in fixed spatial relationship and then into the ground surface to anchor the moulds thereto. The cementitious material is then poured between the moulds to form the cementitious structure. Optionally, the spikes may be connected to the connecting member by inserting of spikes into tubes connected to the connecting member, the tubes being insertable into pathways and the spikes subsequently inserted therethrough to insert the spikes through the pathway and into the ground surface.

Abstract: A mounting for a side wing plough includes a mounting having two relatively movable sectorially formed elements, one of which being fixed to the plough and the other being connected to a lifting means for the leading end of the plough. The two elements register with one another and are guided thereby, the interengagement of the elements constituting the connection enabling movement of the plough and also permitting limited compensatory shifting of the plough upon encountering an immovable obstacle. The mounting could further include a tilt mechanism of limited stroke affording the capability of the plough to tilt toward the vehicle to accommodate unpredictable movement of the plough upon impacting an immovable obstacle.
