Abstract: A turbine flow meter comprises a flow pipe which includes an axial through bore and a meter cartridge which is positioned in the through bore. The meter cartridge includes a tubular cartridge housing through which a fluid to be measured is directed and a rotor which is rotatably supported in the cartridge housing. The cartridge housing is slidably received in a first portion of the through bore and comprises an outer diameter which is less than the diameter of that portion of the through bore. The meter cartridge is retained in the through bore by a retainer, which in turn is retained in the through bore by a ring seal.

Abstract: Two tubular steel frames welded together to make a triangular shaped gambrel. One frame being bent at a 90 degree angle and welded to the second frame which is straight. The welding is completed in a way so that a hole is defined at each end of the lower member. A cable is inserted through the entire length of the bent frame. Two loops are then defined on each of the left and right sides of the frame. Each of the left and right loops are defined by having respective free ends of the cable extend out the lower left and right sides of the upper frame member, then loop around the lower frame member and secured by a cable ferrule to define a slidably attached fixed size loop at the free end that is slidable along the lower frame member. When the upper loop is pulled away from the upper frame member, the length of the cable exposed at the left and right lower portions of the frame is reduced, thereby reducing the size of the respective adjustable size lower loops.

Abstract: Two tubular steel frames welded together to make a triangular shaped gambrel. One frame being bent at a 90 degree angle and welded to a straight second frame which is straight. The welding is completed in way so that a hole is defined at each end of the lower member. A cable is inserted through the entire length of the bent frame. Two loops are then defined on each of the left and right sides of the frame and are slidably secured to the lower frame member by a cable ferrule. As the animals' limbs are placed in each loop of the cable, the weight of the animal itself tightens the top loop, or cable thimble, which in turn tightens the bottom two loops of the cable. This tightening allows the body of the animal to remain in air for cleaning and dressing the animal.

Abstract: A ball dispenser dispenses balls into a flow line leading into a well. The ball dispenser has a subassembly that slides into and out of a cylindrical housing. The subassembly has a shaft that rotates within an array of vertical guide members. A helical flight is secured to the shaft. The subassembly will slide into a loading sleeve for loading purposes. The loading sleeve has a long vertical slot on one side to load the balls onto the flight.

Abstract: This invention is an apparatus for dispensing balls and a method of loading balls into the apparatus. The apparatus has a housing, a shaft, and a helical rib mounted on the shaft. Rods are mounted in the housing, between the rib and the housing, to keep the balls from rolling down the rib. As the shaft and the rib are rotated, the balls are pushed out the lower end of the housing. A cylindrical loading sleeve fits over the shaft, the rib, and the rods. The balls are loaded onto the rib through a longitudinal slot in the side of the sleeve. The sleeve is then placed on the housing, and the shaft, rib, rods, and balls are lowered into the housing.
