Patent number: 6708432Abstract: A tamper evident ear tag system for preventing reattachment of an ear tag to a second animal that was removed from a first animal. The tamper evident ear tag system includes an attachment member that is permanently inserted into a receiving member wherein the receiving member is attached to an ear tag. The attachment member is comprised of a main shaft, a flanged portion, and a spiked end that is inserted into the receiving member. The receiving member includes a first opening that extending inwardly within an inner flange for catchably receiving the spiked end of the attachment member.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventors: Kary Haar, Jeff Hanson, Dennis Volzke

Patent number: 6138392Abstract: An animal tag system for easily securing a tag upon an animal's ear by piercing the ear for reducing the chance of infection and removal. The tag system includes a tag member having a broad portion and a narrow portion, an extended member extending from the narrow portion, and a tip member attached orthogonally to the extended member opposite of the tag member wherein the tip member is insertable into the ear of an animal. The tip member is comprised of a shaft member having a spiked end and open end exposing a center bore within. The tip member further includes a flanged portion about the spiked end for expanding the hole pierced into the ear by the spiked end thereby allowing the extended member and the tip member to pass through in a substantially parallel position. The tip member becomes orthogonal to the extended member after insertion thereby preventing removal of the tag from the ear through the pierced opening within the ear of the animal.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1999Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventors: Kary Haar, Jeff Hanson, Dennis Volzke

Patent number: 4867819Abstract: Laterally spaced apart longitudinal frame mebmers are advanced to a frame assembly station by infeed drive units. Transverse frame members are advanced to the frame assembly table by laterally disposed sweep platforms and by diverter tables disposed above the frame assembly station. Automatic nailing assemblies on opposite lateral sides of the assembly table drive nails into the longitudinal frame members and transverse members disposed therebetween. Positioning of the transverse members is effected by computer controlled, reciprocative, joist-engaging stops downstream of the frame assembly table. Laterally spaced apart guide rails carry the frame workpiece to a glue-applying station equipped with a laterally movable nozzle and a pair of laterally spaced apart stationary nozzles. A frame indexer disposed below the glue-applying station advances and positions the workpiece under a sheet-placing station.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1987Date of Patent: September 19, 1989Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Richardelli, Robert E. Thompson

Patent number: 4826195Abstract: A transverse beam is disposed between and pivotally connected to the rear ends of a pair of load-receiving frame members on a tractor truck. An elongated housing is secured to and depends from the transverse beam. A sleeve is slidably mounted on the housing. A hydraulically actuated ram is mounted in the housing and is operatively connected to the sleeve. A pair of relatively spaced apart elevator arms are pivotally connected at one of their ends to the truck frame members and at intermediate positions to opposite sides of the sleeve, and a hitch mechanism is secured to the ends of the elevator arms outwardly of the sleeve. The hitch mechanism includes a central rotatable portion provided with a ring-shaped hitch and a separable latch projecting outwardly in opposite directions.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1988Date of Patent: May 2, 1989Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventors: William C. Boyles, Douglas R. Hagge, C. V. Johnston

Patent number: 4699558Abstract: A generally U-shaped frame is formed with a pair of elongated beams, each having a pair of pivotally mounted load-engaging dogs, and with a pair of elongated sleeves, each extending upwardly from the free end of one of the beams. An elongated post is slidably and telescopically mounted in each of the sleeve. Each post is mounted on a wheel-supporting carriage. A hydraulic jack is mounted in each of the telescoping post and sleeve assemblies to raise and lower the frame relative to the base assemblies. Hydraulic motors and lines are provided so that the dogs can be pivoted and the frame raised and lowered by the operator of a fork lift which is attached to a hitch extending from the closed end of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1986Date of Patent: October 13, 1987Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventors: Douglas R. Hagge, Clifford V. Johnston

Patent number: 4694722Abstract: A conveyor table is provided on a floor mounted support frame and a pair of tool guides are disposed horizontally and laterally above and below the conveyor table. Several readily removable tool and cutter assemblies, each having a freely rotatable, circular blade with teeth, are slidably mounted on the tool guides. Setscrews are provided on the tool and cutter assemblies to secure them on the tool guides in relatively opposing, vertically aligned pairs. Electrically powered drive units are disposed upstream and downstream of the tool and cutter assemblies to engage a sheet of wallboard, hold it against the conveyor table and move it between the opposing pairs of tool and cutter assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 1985Date of Patent: September 22, 1987Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventors: Ronald T. Collier, Robert E. Thompson

Patent number: 4640528Abstract: Two elongated beams project forwardly and two project rearwardly from a central base portion. The pairs of beams are closer together at their front and rear ends than at the central base portion. Front and rear arms are mounted at opposite ends of the beams for limited rotational movement relative thereto. The cargo consists of a pair of prefabricated building modules, one of which is mounted on the front beams and arm, and the other on the rear beams and arm. When subjected to torsional forces, the front and rear ends of the beams can twist relative to the longitudinal axis of the semitrailer while the front and rear arms remain substantially aligned with the central base portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1985Date of Patent: February 3, 1987Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventors: William C. Boyles, Douglas R. Hagge, Clifford V. Johnston

Patent number: 4570403Abstract: Means for anchoring a prefabricated, modular building to a foundation wall takes the form of an integral sheet metal strap formed with a base flange and intermediate body section for embeddment in the foundation wall and an exposed upper, plate-like building attachment section extending outwardly from the intermediate body section above the foundation wall and formed with a weakened, bendable intermediate portion and an outer perforated plate portion for fastening to the base of the building.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1983Date of Patent: February 18, 1986Assignee: Cardinal Industries, Inc.Inventor: Timothy J. Dannemiller
