Abstract: A mobile industrial tool chest having modular shelving is provided. A frame having a top, a base and a rear wall therebetween defines an interior of a first embodiment of the tool chest. A pair of generally L-shaped doors are pivotally coupled to the frame on opposite sides and adjacent to the rear wall. The doors are movable between open positions where access to an interior of the tool chest is permitted and closed positions where access to the interior of the tool chest is prohibited. The shelving brackets are preferably arranged in a plurality of vertical columns. A plurality of variously shaped shelves are provided for removable coupling with the shelf brackets. A second embodiment of the tool chest defines an interior of the tool chest by a back wall and first and second side walls. The interior of the second embodiment similarly includes columns of shelving brackets accessible through an opening in the front of the tool chest.

Abstract: A rolling toolbox is provided which has a generally rectangular frame. The frame forms an interior compartment and has a front plate, a rear plate and opposing end plates mounted thereon. The front plate has an opening therein. Mounted to the frame in pivotal relationship is at least one bin which has an end plate, a retaining plate and opposing side plates. Mounted to the retaining plate is a rearwardly extending latch. A drawer is slidingly received within the frame through the drawer opening. The drawer has a handle extending upwardly therefrom. The handle of the drawer matingly fits with the latch of the bin to hold the bin in a closed position during transport of the toolbox. The bin may be opened by pulling thereon, the latch releasing from the handle upon the application of an opening force on the bin.

Abstract: A rolling toolbox is provided which has a generally rectangular frame. The frame forms an interior compartment and has a front plate with an opening therein, a rear plate and opposing end plates mounted thereon. The frame also has a top section mounted thereon which has a flat top surface and converging lower surfaces that extend into the interior compartment. Mounted to the frame in pivotal relationship are a pair of bins which each have an end plate, a retaining plate and opposing side plates. A number of holding members are mounted to the interior of the bins and a tray is removably housed within the bins on top of the holding members. A drawer is slidingly received within the frame through the drawer opening. The drawer has a pair of opposed ends which each have an outer perimeter corresponding to the shape of the drawer opening. The drawer has a holding plate mounted between the opposed ends in a recessed location from the outer perimeter.

Abstract: A seed delivery device is positioned on the seed tube of a planter and between a pair of V-oriented opening disks. The device has an elongated duct having an upper end with an opening capable of being disposed in spatial communication with the seed tube. A lower end of the duct has an opening which is positioned directly behind and adjacent to the location where the pair of opening disks contact one another. The duct extends along a substantially straight line below the seed tube so that a seed traveling through the duct is directed in a substantially downward direction into a V-shaped trench. Structure is also provided for attaching the duct to the planter.

Abstract: A tool box has a bottom portion, a pair of side portions, a back portion, a front portion, and a cover rotatably mounted adjacent the back portion. The cover has a horizontal section and a slanted section sloping downwardly from the horizontal section. A partition plate is positioned in the interior of the tool box and has a row of pegs extending upwardly from the top of the partition plate. The upper ends of the pegs can contact or be in close proximity to the horizontal section of the cover when the cover is in its closed position such that tools disposed on the pegs are secured in position. A shaft is rotatably supported along the front portion and has structure attached along its length for engaging the cover to secure the cover in its closed position. The shaft is rotated by an actuating member so that the engaging structure can be brought into contact with the cover to seal the cover.

Abstract: A scraper is provided for use on depth gauge wheels provided on planters for row crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, beans, peanuts and the like. The scraper includes a scraper blade which is mounted at one end portion of an elongated arm for contacting the outer circumference of the depth gauge wheel and a second scraper blade that is mounted on the elongated arm at a position for preventing the accumulation of debris in the recessed well formed in the face of the depth gauge wheel. The other end of the arm is mounted by a bearing assembly to a hub provided on the depth gauge wheel. The bearing assembly is mounted coaxially with the axis of rotation of the wheel so that the arm remains stationary as the wheel rotates. In addition, the scraper blade remains in contact with the wheel as the wheel is moved in vertical and fore-and-aft directions.
