Abstract: A washer and method for cleaning poultry pads or similar items includes a tub which rotates around a horizontal axis. The tub is mounted on a wheeled frame for towing by a car, tractor or other vehicle. Dirty, soiled pads are placed in the tub on-site and the door is then secured. As the tub rotates during its washing cycle the pads are sprayed by water jets positioned along the interior central water conduit. Water collected in a drain is discharged at each revolution through an open gate valve located on the bottom of the drain. Baffles inside the tub agitate the pads and water, thus improving the cleaning ability of the washer.

Abstract: A high solids kaolin clay slurry having unexpectedly improved high shear viscosity is prepared by blending a chemically dispersed fine particle size Tertiary kaolin with a coarser particle size Cretaceous kaolin to provide a resultant blend having a controlled particle size range and particle size distribution.

Abstract: A vehicle seat track assembly comprising a lower frame member secured to the vehicle floor, an upper frame member secured to the seat and slidably supported on the lower frame member for relative movement fore and aft of the vehicle and a seat position control member supported on the frame members for movement in transverse directions among three positions: a locked position, in which the seat position control member is secured to both of the frame members to prevent relative movement thereof, an indexing position, in which the seat position control member is locked to the upper frame member but movable relative to the lower frame member so that the seat can be adjusted to discrete positions according to the desire of the user, and a slide position, in which the seat position control member is locked to the lower frame member but not to the upper frame member so that the seat can be slid forwardly a specified distance to facilitate passenger access to the back seat and then rearwardly to the previously adjust

Abstract: A seat back recliner comprises an infinitely variable mechanism which positions the seat back angularly relative to the seat cushion about a hinge axis in one-to-one correspondence with operation of an operating lever. Once the seat back has been positioned to a desired setting by operation of the lever, the seat back remains in the selected position. External torques applied to the seat back about the hinge axis tending to displace the seat back from the selected position are resisted by a locking action between wedging members in the infinitely variable mechanism. When it is desired to position the seat back, operation of the lever is effective to rotate the seat back to the desired position while concurrently interacting with the wedging members so as to prevent the wedging members from disallowing the desired rotation.
