Abstract: A cotton module handling implement has a plurality of elongated tapered rods attached to a frame. Each rod extends perpendicular to the front face of the frame and is positioned horizontally and vertically so as to distribute the weight of the cotton module evenly across each rod and throughout the cotton module itself. The number and width of the rods allow for penetration of the cotton module without substantially disturbing the seed cotton integrity. Mounting brackets for either a three-point hitch or a front-end loader extend from the rear face of the frame.

Abstract: A device is provided to store a vertical stack of newspapers in a free standing cabinet and to automatically dispense individual copies actuated by the opening of a cabinet door. The dispensing mechanism is adapted to readily retro-fit prior art honor system type newspaper vending machines and is capable of dispensing daily and Sunday newspapers irrespective of varying thicknesses or numbers of inserts. A novel high velocity paper dispenser mechanism is employed to overcome the inertia of the single copy to be dispensed and to quickly shear the frictional bond between the said single copy and the subjacent newspaper.
