Abstract: A cladless anilox sleeve mountable on a mandrel suitable for commercial use as an anilox roll in flexographic printing. The anilox sleeve of the present invention basically comprises a cylindrical body of a predetermined axial length, the cylindrical body having inner and outer cylindrical peripheral surfaces and end faces at opposite ends of the cylindrical body extending radially between the inner and outer cylindrical peripheral surfaces. The cylindrical body is formed substantially entirely of non-metallic material and without an exterior metallic cladding thereon. Each end face of the cylindrical body has a circular recess formed therein at a radial spacing from the inner and outer cylindrical peripheral surfaces, and a metal ring is secured in each circular recess to promote maintenance of cylindricality of the cylindrical body. Each metal ring extends axially beyond the respective end face for deterring damaging contact therewith.

Abstract: A bale mover with self-adjusting spinners for loading/unloading bales and unrolling bales. The bale mover includes a cross member and a pair of opposing arms that extend generally orthogonally to the cross member. The cross member is pivotable about an axis extending transverse to the bale mover to move the arms to extend away from the bale mover. The arms are moveable toward one another to pinch a bale between distal ends thereof. A spinner is provided at the distal end of each arm. The spinners include axles secured to the arms and spinner bodies which are rotatable about the respective axles to facilitate rotation of a bale engaged by the spinners. The spinners are also pivotable relative to the axles to enable alignment of the spinners with surfaces of the bale.

Abstract: An embodiment of a bait station comprises a rotatable lid and air-tight bait compartments. An additional compartment also contains bait and is accessible to rodents as they enter the station. The rotatable lid is configured to hold the bait within the compartments and can be rotated in order to replace the previously accessible bait with fresh bait from a different compartment. A key can be attached to an extension pole in order to unlock and rotate the rotatable lid without requiring a person to kneel down or bend over. A base having two entrances provides an inviting environment for rodents.
