    Abstract: The trenching shovel is narrow at its digging end so that a lot less dirt is required to be removed. The trenching shovel has a three sided blade and the shovel point has a concave, sharp edge which partially wraps around a root to permit cutting of the root without the blade slipping off. The three sides are also angled slightly outward to help prevent dirt from sticking to the channel of the shovel and to compact the side edges of the trench to prevent collapse of the sidewalls into the formed trench.

  • Publication number: 20160353653
    Abstract: A plough apparatus disclosed herein includes generally rectangular frame members, multiple chisel members, and multiple pairs of coulter members. The rectangular frame members are fixedly attached to each other to define a rectangular framework. The chisel members are hingedly connected to a multiple of the rectangular framework, where each chisel member is configured to contact and plough a soil structure to create a seedbed when a traction vehicle pulls the rectangular framework over the soil structure. The pairs of coulter members are fixedly attached to a side of the rectangular framework, where each pair of coulter members is positioned in a linear alignment with each of the chisel members. Each coulter member in each pair is aligned at a predefined angle to the corresponding coulter member, where the seedbed formed by the chisel member is widened as each pair of coulter members is pulled through the ploughed soil structure.

  • Publication number: 20160353670
    Abstract: The present invention provides an easier and faster way to arrange a bouquet of flowers. According to some embodiments, a jig has multiple tubes skew to each other with rods inserted therein. With the rods extending out of one end of the tubes, flower/foliage elements are inserted into the other ends of the tubes to form a bouquet. Then, the stems of the flower/foliage elements are grasped while the tubes are moved further from the grasped portions of the stems causing the top faces of the rods to press the stems out of the tubes. Accordingly, the jig conveniently and snugly holds flower/foliage elements while forming the bouquet, and the rods effectively eject the flower/foliage elements from the jig when the bouquet is ready to be bound at the stems.

  • Publication number: 20160353699
    Abstract: A system comprises a milking box, a robotic attacher, a sensor, and a controller. The milking box has a stall to accommodate a dairy livestock. The stall comprises a first exit gate on a first side of the stall leading to a first sorting region and a second exit gate on a second side of the stall leading to a second sorting region. The robotic attacher extends from the rear between the hind legs of the dairy livestock. The sensor identifies the dairy livestock within the milking box stall. The controller selects and opens the first exit gate or the second exit gate based at least in part upon the identity of the dairy livestock in order to direct the first dairy livestock into either the first sorting region or the second sorting region.
