  • Double roll peg feeder assembly for flaking mills
    Patent number: 6129296
    Abstract: A peg feeder and method of feeding moist grain from a steam chamber to a grain flaking mill. The feeder includes an inlet flow divider baffle for separating the grain into two flow channels each of which includes an adjustable valve door for controlling flow. The two flow channels include secondary baffles for directing the moist grain to opposite sides of a pair of spaced feed rollers which are mounted so as to converge the flow of grain from the two channels at a central discharge outlet. Access to the interior of the peg feeder is provided by removable panels and underlying safety grates.

  • Forearm splint system for treatment and prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome and other cumulative trauma disorders
    Patent number: 6120472
    Abstract: A forearm splint system and method of use for treatment and prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome and other cumulative trauma disorders including adjustable tensioning means causes rotation of two curved, semi-rigid pieces of material within the splint system. The rotation causes rotation and repositioning of the distal radius and ulna bones, resulting in widening of the carpal tunnel, decreased compression of the median nerve, and improved frictionless gliding and sliding of the flexor tendons.

  • Doorstop
    Patent number: 6120072
    Abstract: A doorstop for use with swingable doors to prevent unauthorized entry into an area which includes a brace member pivotally connected to a base. The brace has an end for engaging the floor when the doorstop is in use. An angular orientation of the brace relative to the base is controlled by a lock bar having a T-shaped head connected by a shank to an enlarged inner end which is seated in non-rotational relationship to the base after being inserted in a first orientation through aligned slots in the base and brace member and then rotated to seat within the base.

  • Safety guard stop for power saws
    Patent number: 6119569
    Abstract: A safety device for a power saw, such as a miter saw, includes an interference stop mounted on the frame or other support of the saw. The stop prevents a lower pivotal blade guard of the saw from being pushed away from a covering relationship with respect to the saw blade when the saw is moved from a "cutting" position to a fully raised "home" position, thereby preventing accidental exposure of the saw blade.
