Abstract: A receptacle is provided for holding a quantity of solid material. The receptacle includes a container having an open end, and a gate operably connected to the container so as to be rotatable to a closed position structured to prevent solid material from exiting the container through the open end. The gate includes a locking arm mounted thereon. A latching mechanism is operably connected to the container and includes a latch rotatable to a latched orientation structured to contact the locking arm to prevent the gate from being rotated out of the closed position. The locking arm is structured to move rearwardly and upwardly during rotation of the gate out of the closed position. The latch is structured so that contact between the latch and the locking arm when the latch is in the latched orientation prevents rearward and upward movement of the locking arm.

Abstract: The trailer wiring enclosure is adapted for use with a tongue. The tongue is configured for use in attaching a trailer to a tractor. The tongue further comprises a shaft, a hitch, and a pigtail. The pigtail forms an electrical connection with the electrical system of the tractor. The pigtail further comprises a cable and a plug. The trailer wiring enclosure is a container. The trailer wiring enclosure is a container that stores the pigtail such that the pigtail is protected from the weather. The trailer wiring enclosure comprises a primary tube, a capped tube, and a fastening structure. The primary tube is the container that stores the pigtail. The capped tube is a lid that encloses the primary tube. The fastening structure attaches the primary tube to the shaft.

Abstract: A fill valve for filling and sealing of a pressurized dispensing container, as well as for allowing the release of pressure from a container to prevent over pressurization. The valve may include a generally cylindrical body having a first end and a second end. The fill valve prevents over pressurization of a dispensing container by releasing pressure at a desired maximum point and then stopping the leakage of pressure at a desired minimum point.
