Abstract: The present invention provides a unique shock absorbing module which, when attached to a vehicular seat and chassis, exhibits unexpected superior effectiveness in reducing the effects of impacting shocks emanating from the operation of a vehicle. The shock absorbing system includes shock absorbing members disposed within a guide track supported by support frame. A slideable carriage with tracking members such as wheels saddling onto the shock absorbing system serves to immediately transfer and absorb any impacting forces exerted multidirectionally against the carriage member and a vehicular seat mounted thereto.

Abstract: A bulk material mixing apparatus has an inclined drum rotatably mounted on a frame supporting a hopper for directing bulk materials in the drum. An auger extended along a trough conveys materials toward the upper inlet end of the drum into a discharge chute or back into the drum. An elongated bar positioned above the auger provides an even distribution and flow rate of materials into the auger trough. A hydraulic motor drives the auger connected to a planetary gear drive used to rotate the drum whereby the motor concurrently drives the auger and drum to mix bulk materials placed in the drum. A hopper attachment having a feed auger is adapted to be mounted on the hopper to handle large amount of bulk material.

Abstract: An agricultural sprayer (10) comprises a mobile frame (12) supporting a spray system (90) in which the water and chemical concentrate are stored in separate tanks (92, 94, 96 and 98) for mixture in the desired ratio as needed responsive to travel of the sprayer so as to facilitate application at the proper rate. The frame (12) preferably comprises a main frame section (14) with outboard pairs of pivotal frame sections (16, 18) which are individually supported by adjustable gauge wheels (34, 54) movable between raised and lowered positions relative to the ground by actuator assemblies (60). The spray system (90) includes a water tank (92) and a plurality of chemical tanks (94, 96 and 98) connected through individual shut-off valves, adjustable, positive displacement pumps, and an electrostatic water treater, to a plurality of spray heads.
