  • Publication number: 20090133369
    Abstract: A dust management device for a harvester, including ducting in secure engagement with the harvester and adapted to receive air, airborne harvest dust and other materials discharged from the harvester. The dust management device further includes a diffuser-separation chamber, in secure engagement with the harvester, in engagement with the ducting, and adapted to receive air, airborne harvest dust and other materials from the ducting. The diffuser-separation chamber redirects air and airborne harvest dust back into the harvester and discharges other material from the harvester.

  • Patent number: 5857908
    Abstract: Cotton harvester multi-piece duct structure for conveying cotton materials between a cotton harvesting row unit, arranged toward a lower end of the duct structure, and an inlet opening of an extendable/retractable basket assembly. Toward an upper end thereof, the duct structure has a distal end operably connected to a remaining portion of the duct structure to allow the distal end of the duct structure to period between an operational position, wherein an outlet end of the duct structure is in general registry with the inlet opening to the basket assembly, and a storage position, wherein the distal end of the duct structure is lowered from the operational position to facilitate transportation of the cotton harvester. A lock mechanism is also disclosed for releasably fastening the distal end of the duct structure in an operational position relative to the remaining portion of the duct structure.

  • Patent number: 3940657
    Abstract: A flasher circuit is disclosed for use with a conventional automotive turn signal system. The flasher circuit comprises a flasher relay under the control of a free-running multivibrator. The multivibrator takes the form of a pair of intercoupled logic gates and an inhibiting means, in the form of a logic gate, disables the multivibrator when the turn signal switch is open and enables it so long as the turn signal switch is closed. The inhibiting logic gate is supplied with logic signals from the output of the multivibrator and a voltage sensing circuit connected with the turn signal switch. The flasher circuit is a two-terminal device and may be substituted for the well known hot-wire flasher without the circuit changes in the turn signal system. The logic gates preferably take the form of an integrated circuit on a single chip.
