Patent number: 6921330Abstract: A cleaning shoe of an agricultural combine is provided with a front chaffer located upstream from the main chaffer. The front chaffer has a closed upstream portion and an open downstream portion. The closed upstream portion is upwardly inclined and the open downstream portion is downwardly inclined. The front chaffer is oriented so that an air blast from the cleaning fan passes beneath the closed upstream portion and upwardly through the declined open downstream portion. The open downstream portion is provided with transversely extending louvers through which the air blast passes. The cleaning fan comprises a plurality of radially and transversely extending fan blades. Blade inserts forming air dams are located near each transverse end. The blade inserts are provided with apertures that limited the transverse air flow along the blades.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2004Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Sheldon Joseph Grywacheski, Kenneth Ralph Clifton, Jeffrey Ray Payne, Jeffrey Allan Schlautman, Glenn Pope

Publication number: 20050101177Abstract: An electrical cord roll-up apparatus has a stationary assembly and a reel assembly that rotably mounts on the stationary assembly. The stationary assembly has a shaft, an insulator on the shaft, axially spaced rings on the insulator and a power input or output cord that connects to the rings. The reel assembly has a reel tube with side flanges on the ends and brush assemblies mounted on the tube in alignment with the rings. The brush assemblies have copper or brass brushes that are pressed against the rings by compression springs, and connectors for connecting to the wires of the electrical cord. Rotating the reel one direction winds the electrical cord onto the reel and rotating the reel in the opposite direction unwinds the electrical cord.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2003Publication date: May 12, 2005Inventor: Jeffrey Ray

Publication number: 20040246295Abstract: A printhead capping assembly includes a cap holder, a printhead cap and a pin. The pin includes a head and a shaft. The shaft has a proximal end and a distal end, with the proximal end being adjacent to the head. The head has an outer periphery, and a bottom surface extending outwardly from the shaft toward the outer periphery. The pin has a channel including a first channel portion and a second channel portion. The first channel portion extends from the outer periphery of the head to the shaft. The first channel portion is connected to the second channel portion. The pin is inserted through the second hole and into the first hole to place the head in contact with the second base of the printhead cap. The second base of the printhead cap seals along the first channel portion to define a first vent path portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2003Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: Charles Stanley Aldrich, Jeffrey Ray Ehlert, Martin Alan Johnson, Daniel Robert LaBar, Robert Michael Meadows

Patent number: 6571965Abstract: A dishwasher rack which includes a basket supporting a plurality of fences rotatably about a common axis. The basket has a plurality of wires forming a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a front and back wall. The bottom wall has a plurality of upwardly oriented tines connected to and extending from the bottom wall in a first area and further has an open area without upwardly oriented tines. A first fence is provided having an axle wire and a plurality of support wires. The axle wire is rotatably supported adjacent the bottom wall such that the first fence may be rotated between a front position and a back position. A second fence is provided having a connection wire and a plurality of support wires. The connection wire is rotatably connected to axle wire such that the second fence may rotate about the axle wire between a front position and a back position.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2000Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Casey Brian Arthur Beck, Mark H.
