Abstract: A tambour door includes a plurality of elongated elements having front and back surfaces of rectangular transverse cross-section placed in abutting side-by-side relationship including a flexible backing material overlaying and adhesively secured to the back surfaces of the elongated elements. The front surface of the elongated elements are formed with a design which extends over a plurality of adjacent elements. A cabinet including such tambour doors includes side pockets in which the doors move on tracks when the doors are moved to the open position. When the doors are in the closed position, they are planar and extend across the opening into the cabinet. When the door is in the closed position, the interface between adjacent elements is virtually invisible because of the abutting relationship of the elements and because of their rectangular cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an enclosed tank for containing fat. The bottom wall is cone shaped and at the lower end of the cone is an outlet opening. A valve is placed in the opening to permit fluid to be added to or drained from the tank. A heater element is placed in the bottom of the tank or immediately below the bottom of the wall of the tank and can be an electrical heated element, a helical tube containing steam or hot water, or a gas powered infrared heater. A circulation system permits the removal of fat from the bottom of the tank and the recirculating of the fat to the upper portion of the tank. A valve within the recirculation system permits the fat to be pumped to a spray nozzle where it can be sprayed onto a feed mixture for animals.

Abstract: A device for securing a shackle by limiting the rotation of the cross bolt includes means, such as a jamming block, for blocking the path of rotation of the cross bolt's head, and means for holding the blocking means in its blocking position. This holding means can comprise a flange which will restrict movement of the jamming block, or a spring urging the block into its rotation blocking position. The shackle securing device can be made tamper-proof by locking it onto the eye of a cross bolt with a padlock.
