Abstract: A monolithic conveyor belt structure comprising an elongate, substantially planar base belt having a pair of integrally formed, flexible, fabric reinforced, longitudinal sidewalls protruding from its top face. The integral construction prevents delamination of the sidewalls from the base belt, and the fabric reinforcement in the sidewalls strengthens the sidewalls against deterioration due to repeated flexure of the belt, and due to contact with pulleys, turn disks, sliding surfaces, etc. The belt may include cleats between the sidewalls, such as transverse paddles or upstanding nubs, to assist in conveying material on very steep inclines.

Abstract: A simple and positive drill steel retainer, comprising a retainer (402) and a latch (403). The retainer cannot be opened until the latch is disengaged. The latch is held in the engaged position by a spring (406). The retainer and latch can be easily disengaged in one continuous motion with one hand.

Abstract: An enclosed granular or powdered material storage reclaimer, having a floor, a vertical column at the center of the floor, conveyor means disposed below the floor, elongate transfer device hingedly attached to the column, an anchor pedestal for anchoring the bottom end of the column to a footing structure below, and a downwardly directed annular opening formed in the center of the floor, said opening having an inside wall and an outside wall, said annular opening being concentric with the vertical axis of the column and designed to receive granular or powdered material transported there by the elongate transfer device, such that the column may be directly supported by the anchor pedestal and the footing structure, and the conveyor means need not be located directly beneath the center of the column. Such an enclosed granular or powdered material storage reclaimer wherein the conveyor means comprises an air slide conveyor.

Abstract: A crescent shaped support cover for an elongate material reclamation mechanism in a granular or powdered material storage enclosure, the support cover comprising: a first elongate tube having a longitudinal opening formed in its side along the full length of the tube; a second elongate tube having a longitudinal opening formed in its side along the full length of the tube, the longitudinal opening having a width that is approximately equal to the width of the longitudinal opening in the first tube, the second tube being larger in cross-section than the first tube, and the first tube being longitudinally disposed within the second tube such that the longitudinal openings of the first tube and the second tube are aligned, the first tube being continuously attached to the second tube along the edges of the longitudinal openings, forming an elongate structure defining a partially open elongate tubular space within the first tube suitable for partially enclosing an elongate auger, and defining an enclosed cross-se

Abstract: A power director enables a user to apply power through one or more power outlets via one or more switches to a cluster of electrical devices, for example, the components of a desk top computer system. A typical computer system may have a CPU chassis, monitor, printer, CD-ROM and a document scanner each of which may have its own power line cord. The housing of the current power director has internal storage spaces or bays for coiling the excess portions of the power cords of the various computer components to eliminate the tangled mess associated with such systems. The electrical outlets are located in a component bay within the housing separate from but adjacent to the line cord storage bay to be accessible to the plugs of the line cords of the electrical devices sought to be controlled. The component bay contains a first printed circuit board (PCB) which carries the electrical outlets and a second PCB that contains an electrical surge protection circuit, a fault isolation circuit and the switches.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing bulk materials from a laterally enclosed storage area wherein the apparatus may be substantially buried within the bulk material (11). The apparatus includes a support column (16) mounted at a base into a support floor (25). An auger (17) is attached with an axial mount at the base of the support column for enabling rotational declination of the auger from (i) a vertical orientation wherein the auger is nearly parallel with the vertical axis of the support column, (ii) through intermediate angles of declination (54), to (iii) a substantially horizontal orientation (55) wherein the auger is adjacent to the support floor. The suspension cable (61) is coupled between the support column and auger to enable selective adjustment of auger declination. A rotational displacement drive (35) is coupled to the support column to rotate the column about its vertical axis, along with the attached auger. A rotational drive motor (51) is mounted at a distal end of the auger.

Abstract: A system for covering and supporting a conveyor belt system. The conveyor belt system is supported in large measure by a structural support tube. The structural support tube is simply a tube or pipe of the conventional type. Disposed through the center of the tube are a plurality of internal support pipes. In turn, auxiliary support pipes, smaller in diameter than the internal support pipes, may traverse the interior of the internal support pipe and extend out either end. Attached to the auxiliary support pipes is a conventional belt conveyor system. The belt conveyor system is, in turn, enclosed by a top cover and a lower enclosure. All of the parts are held securely together using readily available materials such as angle iron. The present invention is extremely flexible providing the capability of easily constructing 40, 60, 80 and 120 foot spans of conveyor system. In addition, it is possible to provide an open conveyor, a partially enclosed conveyor, or a totally enclosed conveyor.
