Abstract: A lid unit for a portable refuse bin adapted to be engaged and inverted, by the lift mechanism of a refuse truck, to discharge a load of refuse from the bin and into the receiving body of the truck; the lid unit being hinged to the bin and normally but releasably latched in closed position, and a hinged loading lid is included in the lid unit and normally but releasably latched in closed position; the loading lid--when unlatched--being manually swingable, relative to the remainder of the lid unit, to open position to permit manual deposit of refuse in the bin, and the entire lid unit gravitationally swinging to open position when unlatched and upon such inversion of the bin, whereupon the load of refuse dumps from the bin and into the receiving body of the truck; the loading lid remaining in latched, closed position during said inversion of the bin.

Abstract: Replaceable pulley lagging--for an initially smooth-faced, endless conveyor or elevator belt drive pulley--comprising a multiplicity of relatively narrow, transversely extending traction pads pre-formed to mate with the arcuate pulley face, and applied edge to edge in a circumferential array and number to substantially fully embrace the face of the pulley; the traction pads being secured to the face of the pulley in detachable relation whereby to permit removal and replacement of said pads when worn or damaged.
