  • Publication number: 20160262298
    Abstract: A rock collecting apparatus includes a frame that has a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. A pair of wheels is rotatably attached to the frame. A housing for receiving and carrying a plurality of rocks is mounted on the frame. A hitch connector is coupled to the frame and a rake is pivotally coupled to the frame adjacent to the front side. The rake engages rocks such that the rocks are moved upwardly into the housing. The rake is positionable in a deployed position positioned adjacent to the ground surface or in a stored position spaced from the ground surface. A shovel is rotatably mounted to the rake and moves rocks up the rake and into the housing.

  • Patent number: 9301508
    Abstract: A poultry loading assembly includes a primary frame and a chute operationally coupled to the primary frame. A primary scissor is operationally coupled between the primary frame and the chute and is actuated to lower or lift the chute. A first conveyor belt is rotatably mounted on the chute and receiving poultry thereon proximate a loading area. A head is operationally coupled to the chute opposite the loading area and is continuously retained in a parallel orientation with the support surface. The head is selectively positionable proximate the container and is selectively movable toward or away from a container. A second conveyor belt is operationally coupled to the head. The first conveyor belt transports the poultry to the second conveyor belt and thereafter the second conveyor belt transports the poultry into the container.
