Abstract: A combination strip-tiller and applicator is disclosed for conservation farming. The machine is designed to save soil, fertilizer, labor and fuel while producing a higher yield. Unique features of the device include a knife that injects anhydrous ammonia or other chemicals in a broad band under the seedbed. This broad band allows seeds to be planted in the same pass or within a few days without risk of fertilizer burn to the seedlings. The knife also loosens the soil and raises the seedbed. Row cleaners and cultivator gangs can run in the same pass to remove excess crop residual and to further raise the seedbed.

Abstract: The present invention is a liquid transport apparatus which is attachable to a typical four wheel all terrain vehicle, popularly called an ATV.

Abstract: The hydrostatic drive with regeneration circuit comprises a geroter flow divider which operates in conjunction with a two position three way valve and a check valve to provide regeneration flow for the hydrostatic drive when the valve is energized.

Abstract: A system of stanchions used to warn about the depth of a swimming pool. The stanchions stand upright and carry a “no dive” warning message about the depth of the pool. Each stanchion can have a flexible base that allows it to flex from a generally vertical position to a horizontal position if someone bumps into it. The stanchions can be read from any direction of approach. The height of the stanchion indicates the depth of the bottom of the pool adjacent to where it is standing.

Abstract: The present invention is a vacuum operated brake actuation sytem for actuating a towed vehicle's brake system. In a preferred embodiment it comprises a source of vacuum, a vacuum level sensor and switch, an electrically operated, spring return, four way, two position, vacuum valve with speed controls, and a double acting vacuum operated cylinder that actuates the towed vehicle's brake pedal which actuates the towed vehicle's brake system as the cylinder is directed by the valve. The preferred embodiment also comprises electrical wiring, vacuum hoses, fittings, connections, check valves, a breakaway switch, and other miscellaneous bracketry and hardware as required to complete the system. A vacuum pump along with a vacuum level sensor and switch for monitoring vacuum levels and passing electrical power to operate the vacuum pump as required are included in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Abstract: An aid for use in repairing large appliances. The appliance support slips under a large appliance such as a washing machine and allows the service technician to tilt the appliance forward or sideways to an easier position to work on. The support has two angled working positions one at about 45 degrees tilt and a second at about 90 degrees of tilt of the appliance. This allows a technician to remove parts such as the back off a washing machine without bending down into an uncomfortable position. Flipping the appliance support over it can serve as a step stool.
