  • System for measuring container weight in the field independent of wind load
    Patent number: 4615404
    Abstract: A horizontal load independent field measuring system for containers comprising a triangular latticework structure (20), the nodal points (2,4) of which are arranged in two concentric circles, one (2) adjacent the container (1) being weighed and the other (4) adjacent the foundation, with the latticework (20) being formed of support bars (3) arranged in isosceles triangles. The sum of the bar (3) forces is independent of the horizontal forces acting on the container (1). Pairs of bridges (6,7) span between respective pairs of support bars (3,3-30) comprising a given triangle with a reference bar (5) being mounted between these bridges (6,7) and symmetrically disposed between the support bars (3). A displacement transducer (9) is associated with the reference bar (5) which is slidingly connected to the upper bridge (7) in order to measure the displacement of the upper bridge (7) against the unloaded reference bar (5) which corresponds to the average deformation of the associated support bars (3 ).

  • Universal blending silo
    Patent number: 4408889
    Abstract: The present invention is a universal blending system and method for blending the material contents of a silo having a predetermined interior cross-sectional area by layer blending or across vertical columns, column blending, or a combination of layer and column blending.The presently preferred method of the present invention employs either vertical displacement of a partial vertical column of the silo content to provide a representative mixture in every horizontal cross-section in order to reduce the number of necessary recycles to a minimum or substantially simultaneous multilevel displacement, with subsequent uniform discharge over the whole horizontal cross-section of the silo to remix material that may have been segregated during the filling or recycling.
