Abstract: A material reducing machine includes a rotary reducing drum that is rotatable about an axis of rotation and defines a reducing boundary that extends at least partially around the axis of rotation. The material reducing machine includes an infeed conveyor for transporting material to a front portion of the rotary reducing drum and defines a conveyor plane. The material reducing machine includes a mill box at least partially surrounding the rotary reducing drum and including a mill box lid mounted generally above the rotary reducing drum. The mill box lid has an inlet edge positioned above a rear portion of the rotary reducing drum and an outlet edge positioned above the front portion of the rotary reducing drum. The mill box includes an infeed opening that is configured to receive material from a feed table and has an upper opening defined by the outlet edge of the mill box lid.

Abstract: A window covering leveling method for a moveable rail actuated by at least one lift cord. The leveling method including the steps of providing a lift cord adjustment mechanism mounted within the moveable rail; attaching the lift cord to the adjustment mechanism; adjusting the lift cord length through operation of the lift cord adjustment mechanism so as to facilitate leveling of the moveable rail; and fixing the lift cord at the adjusted length.

Abstract: A window assembly having a window frame and at least one primary sash mounted in the window frame. The primary sash has a plurality of sash members forming a primary sash perimeter and a first glazing panel mounted in the primary sash perimeter. At least one secondary sash is pivotally attached directly to the primary sash perimeter along an interior surface thereof so that the secondary sash is rotatably movable between a closed position and an open position relative to the primary sash. The secondary sash has a plurality of secondary sash members forming a secondary sash structure and a second glazing panel mounted in the secondary sash perimeter. An air chamber is located between the primary sash and the secondary sash that is substantially closed to the interior of the building structure. At least one accessory channel is locating along at least one side of the secondary sash members.

Abstract: A window covering drive system mountable in a sash frame, such as an interior sash, for use in operating a window covering mounted to the sash. The drive system including a drive component couplable to the covering, the drive component including a belt and a belt tensioning mechanism providing pre-tension in the belt and sustaining tension during operation of the drive system. The drive system also including an operator assembly slidably mounted to the sash and coupled to the drive component, such that linear motion of the operator assembly results in movement of the belt and rotary action of the drive component to operate the covering. The drive system may include a frame connecting corner lock configured with features that couple to the drive component. Additionally, a covering operating mechanism may be included having a lift spool with a varying diameter about which a lift cord is wound and unwound.

Abstract: A window covering leveling mechanism for a moveable rail actuated by at least one lift cord. The leveling mechanism including a lift cord adjuster configured for attachment to one end of the lift cord; and a locking mechanism mountable within the moveable rail and configured to receive the lift cord adjuster. Insertion of the cord adjuster attached to the lift cord into the locking mechanism facilitates leveling of the moveable rail by adjustment of the lift cord and locking of the lift cord at a desired length. The cord adjuster may be a zip tie or similar item.
