Abstract: The invention relates to a closing device for a filler neck situated on a container, in particular for a container situated on a rail or road vehicle, which may be supplied to a loading station for loading with powdered or granular bulk goods. At least one filler neck (3), which is provided with a through opening and connected to the container interior (6), and a pivot device (30), which comprises two pivot arms (31, 61) mounted thereon, are situated on the container (5), using which two closure elements (35, 60) situated thereon are pivotable in relation thereto around a shared axis (Z) for the exterior and interior closing or opening of the through opening. At least one seal, which is provided with a pressure chamber oriented around the circumference, for example, and which may be impinged with pressure in the closed position and relieved of pressure to pivot the closure elements, is situated on the closure elements (35, 60) and/or on the filler neck (3).

Abstract: A wheel force measuring hub assembly has a measuring value sensor assembly and comprises an exterior ring part and an interior ring part. A wheel rim is attachable on the exterior ring part. The interior ring part is attachable to a wheel axle. Both ring parts are connected with one another by way of radially extending measuring webs on which strain gauges are arranged for determining forces and torques to be measured. The strain gauges are configured to determine the three mutually perpendicular axial occurring forces Fx, Fy and Fz as well as pertaining torques Mx, My and Mz. The strain gauges are arranged, aligned and connected with one another for determining all forces and torques by way of the shearing strains occurring in the case of a load on a wheel being monitored.

Abstract: The device for mowing and conditioning crops including a plurality of juxtaposed mowing rotors and a conditioner rotatably arranged around a horizontal axis immediately behind and extending substantially across the width of the mowing rotors. The conditioner includes a shaft with left and right pitched auger flights which join at approximately the longitudinal center of the shaft so that the cut hay is directed into a single narrow swath in the center behind the conditioner. Conditioning tools are secured along the outer edge of the auger flights and the conditioner is rotated in a direction causing an overshot movement of the hay from the mowing rotors.

Abstract: A corn harvester has a chassis adapted to travel along the ground and provided on its front with a device for picking ears off cornstalks. A thresher is provided on the chassis for reducing the ears to fragments including pieces of cob, corn kernels, and pieces of husk, and for displacing these fragments backwardly. A floor in the chassis is positioned to receive the fragments from the thresher and has a rear edge provided with a rearwardly extending comb having spaced apart times. The floor and comb are jointly reciprocated to displace the fragments backwardly, during which operation normally the kernels, which are of greater surface density than the other fragments, move to the bottom of the backwardly moving mass. A rotary stripper is provided on the chassis having fingers orbitable between the teeth of the comb. This stripper is rotated at high speed so as to lift most of the husk and cob pieces off the comb and propel them backwardly.

Abstract: A corn harvester has a chassis adapted to travel along the ground and provided on its front with an intake mechanism for picking ears off the cornstalks and for reducing these ears to fragments including pieces of cob, corn kernels, and pieces of husk. These fragments are displaced backwardly onto a ridged floor having a rear edge spaced by an upstream gap from a riddle having in turn a rear edge spaced upwardly by a downstream gap from a comb. A blower directs a current of air through these gaps to separate out the chaff-like husk pieces, while the smaller and denser fragments can drop through the riddle and be collected. Both the riddle and the floor are oscillated to displace the fragments backwardly. A second comb meshes with the first comb and has a plurality of tines that are continuously displaced through the tines of the first comb to separate out husk pieces from the fragments on the first comb.
