  • Patent number: 8919285
    Abstract: A new device for the collection, storage, and selected delivery of livestock feed is provided. Such a device includes an internal system to simultaneously prevent caking or otherwise solidifying of such feed material as well as maneuver the same to a trough for dispensing on demand. Additionally, the device includes an auger component with a housing cap to selectively alter the rate of dispensing as well as provide a shut off mechanism if needed. Such a device thus may be driven to a feed source location and filled to any selected level, closed, and transported to any desired location to permit delivery thereof the stored feed. With the enclosed structure, as well, long-term storage may be achieved, thus effectively preventing rodent or other pest invasion, as well as providing a suitable moisture barrier for proper and effective storage. A system of feeding livestock with this device is also encompassed.

  • Publication number: 20140090567
    Abstract: A roller tool for installing T-molding is provided. The roller tool is configured to receive the T-molding into a front of the body. The T-molding has a top surface and a bottom surface, with an insert of the T-molding extending from the bottom surface of the T-molding. The roller tool includes a guidance member attached to the body, the guidance member configured to align the body to a channel. One or more T-molding guide surfaces, slidably contacting the T-molding insert, guide the T-molding over the guidance member and the channel. The roller tool includes a pressure roller, rotatably attached to the body, the pressure roller positioned rearward of the front of the body, the pressure roller configured to press on the top surface of the T-molding so that, with the front of the body moving forward, the insert of the T-molding is pressed into the channel by the pressure roller.

  • Publication number: 20140000118
    Abstract: A toe-kick saw having a yieldable spindle extension is disclosed. At least one nub, as a transfer member, projects from a first or a second drive plate. The nub is engageable with a depression, slot or other nub receiving area on the other drive plate, to couple and uncouple the plates. In an engaged condition, the drive plates, a secondary spindle, a blade mount and a circular saw blade spin with the saw motor spindle. In a disengaged condition, the first drive plate spins with the saw motor spindle while the second drive plate, secondary spindle, blade mount and saw blade are disengaged from the first drive plate and the saw motor spindle. A biasing mechanism presses the second drive plate towards the first drive plate. A further biasing mechanism may press the second plate towards the first plate with more force when the plates are coupled than when decoupled.

  • Patent number: 8469251
    Abstract: A stapling tool for hardwood flooring staples and hardwood tongue and groove flooring planks is disclosed. The tool has a body that includes a body base surface, a stop surface, a body top surface and a staple slot. The tool has a rod assembly that includes a hammering head and a staple driving head. A hardwood flooring staple, inserted into the staple slot, followed by the staple driving head, is guided by the staple slot. In response to impact force received by the hammering head from a head of a hammer, the staple driving head drives the hardwood flooring staple into an external angle formed by the tongue and the outside edge of the plank. The staple may be inserted from beyond a plane defined by the body top surface. The staple slot may be at an angle greater than 45 degrees, less than or equal to 85 degrees.

  • Patent number: 7315238
    Abstract: A method and system of providing tokens to allow a multiple vehicle programmer to program vehicle transponder keys. A token server collects payment for the number of tokens purchased and creates a token update file. The token update file loads the purchased tokens into the multiple vehicle programmer. To program a vehicle transponder key the multiple vehicle programmer checks for an unused token, if available, the unused token authorizes the programming of the vehicle programmer key. The multiple vehicle programmer marks the token as used after successfully programming the transponder key.
