  • Patent number: 5566477
    Abstract: A shoelace cover incorporating an interchangeable fashion panel for covering the shoelaces of a gym shoe. The shoelace cover is secured to the shoe by a number of straps threaded through slots in the shoelace cover. A strap secured to each side of the gym shoe includes a loop and hook material such that the straps can be disengaged and the shoelace cover can be drawn back to expose the shoelaces of the shoe. The fashion panel is attached to the shoelace cover by a loop and hook material such that at the whim of the shoe wearer, the fashion panel can be replaced by other fashion panels to convey a fashion statement.

A simplified positive latch mechanism for the dumping wall is biased in the latching position and easily released by the operator of a towing tractor.

  • Patent number: 4266510
    Abstract: Juxtaposed pairs of upright portable bunker wall sections are erected on level ground in longitudinal alignment and tied together and braced by a system of adjustable and portable bracing units along the length of the elongated open ended and open top silage bunker thus formed. The bunker is filled with silage up to a proper level by a mobile loading machine with the formation of the silage bunk progressing rearwardly. As the silage bunk is thus formed, the forwardmost bunker wall sections are shifted to the rear end of the bunker to enable the formation of a uniform depth silage bunk of any desired length. As bunker wall sections are removed, the formed or molded silage bunk is covered and protected by a dark plastic film.
