Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for distributing air to different regions of a conveyor oven. The apparatus has comprising one or more blowers to distribute the air. A lower plenum is connected to a blower. The lower plenum directs air to the lower side of a conveyor within the oven. An upper plenum is connected to a blower. The upper plenum directs air to the upper side of the conveyor.

Abstract: A metal building includes a joist system having upper and lower longitudinally extending chords, the upper and lower chords being substantially parallel, and a plurality of web members interposed between the parallel chords. Each of the chords includes an upper chord segment, opposed parallel side walls, inwardly extending lower chord segments, the lower chord segments being parallel to the upper chord segment, and a pair of flanges extending downwardly from the innermost edges of lower chord segments, the flanges defining a longitudinally extending continuous web receiving aperture traversing the length of the chord, the upper chord segment, lower chord segment, parallel side walls and flanges, the web receiving apertures of the upper and lower chords being positioned in opposed relationship.

Abstract: A weight lifting machine for performing a wide range of exercises, has a lift bar angularly adjustable for a starting lift position angularly upward or downward of a substantially horizontal position. An actuating bar is connected to the lift bar for movement therewith. First and second pulleys are movably mounted above and below the actuating bar such that the first pulley moves upwardly with the actuating bar and the second pulley moves downwardly with the actuating bar. The first pulley is prevented from moving downwardly when the second pulley is moved downwardly with the actuating bar and the second pulley is likewise prevented from moving upwardly when the first pulley is moved upwardly. A lift cable is threaded through the first and second pulleys such that movement of the lift bar in either direction lengthens the distance between the pulleys, thereby lifting a plate-type weight stack.
