  • Patent number: 7213617
    Abstract: An air divider having a shutoff plate for converting row spacing on a seeding implement. A reversible shutoff plate has a closed position wherein one end of the plate extends through a slot and completely blocks a leg of a Y-shaped output end of the divider. By reversing the shutoff plate, the leg is opened to air and material flow. The shutoff plate is retained in a clip or post adjacent the slot in both the closed and open positions. A seal closes the slot if the shutoff plate is not inserted and permits the shutoff plate option to be selected at any time.

  • Patent number: 6371534
    Abstract: A vehicle body panel is rotatable about a lower horizontal axis and has a clip latch at the upper portion of the panel that catches the edge portion of an adjacent stationary panel to trap the edge portion of an adjacent panel between the clip latch and the movable panel. The clip latch has a ramp surface engagable with the adjacent stationary panel to slightly deflect the movable panel away from the stationary panel until the ramp portion has cleared the edge of the stationary panel. The clip latch only locks the movable panel in the closed position, not the open position, so that the panel can be moved from the open to the closed position when standing in a position in which the clip latch can not be reached.

  • Patent number: 6325713
