  • Patent number: 11980163
    Abstract: An animal feeder, moveable between a feed transport position and a feed delivery position that successively delivers animal feed contained within the animal feeder, includes a bunk and a dump trailer. The dump trailer supports the bunk at a rear thereof while remaining pivotable relative to the bunk. The dump trailer, which holds animal feed therein, includes a lowered transport position that locates the animal feeder in the feed transport position and a raised delivery position that locates the animal feeder in the feed delivery position. The dump trailer, when moved from the feed transport position to the raised delivery position, pivots relative to the bunk whereby the dump trailer at an exit thereof communicates with the bunk at an entrance thereof such that the dump trailer in the raised delivery position successively delivers animal feed held therein into the bunk for access by animals.

  • Patent number: 6520335
    Abstract: A method, container and kit for a two-component polymeric material, such as an epoxy coating includes filling a first pouch with a polymeric precursor material. A second pouch is filled with a curing agent. The first and second pouches are sealed. The first and second pouches are inserted into a mixing container and the mixing container is sealed. The first pouch can be filled with a first amount of polymeric precursor material. The second pouch can be filled with a second amount of curing agent with the first and second amounts totaling a first volume. The mixing container can have a second volume, with the first volume being greater than about half the second volume. The contents of the pouches can be transferred to the mixing container and mixed therein to react the components and dispense the resulting material.
