Abstract: A baler pickup includes crop strippers looped around a reel. A pickup frame has upper and lower mounting stubs, wherein each of the upper mounting stubs has a notch located centrally in a forward end of the upper mounting stub. A rear end section of an upper leg of each stripper is engaged with a respective upper mounting stub and a rear end section of a lower leg is engaged with a respective lower mounting stub. A distal end of each upper leg has an outer plate separated from an inner plate so as to form a gap. The upper leg has an alignment tab such that when the leg is received on the stub, the tab engages with the notch in the stub. A gap-facing surface of the inner plate has a detent, the upper mounting stub comprises a keyhole opening formed therein rearward of the notch.

Abstract: A controllable, multi-mode, bi-directional overrunning mode clutch and a shift system adapted for use in a power transfer assembly for transferring drive torque from a primary driveline to a secondary driveline so as to establish a four-wheel drive mode. The mode clutch includes a first ring journalled on a first rotary member, a second ring fixed to a second rotary member, and a plurality of rollers disposed in opposed cam tracks formed between the first and second rings. The first ring is split to define an actuation channel between its end segments. A cam member is moveable between positions engaged with and released from one or both end segments of the split first ring. The shift system includes a mode fork which controls movement of the cam member for establishing a two-wheel drive mode in addition to on-demand and locked four-wheel drive modes.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for inserting the heating cable into the shell of an electric blanket, including a plurality of slotted tubes which are inserted to guide a flexible leader which draws the cable successively through each of the adjacent channels in the shell.

Abstract: A flexible coupling for torque transmission having a plurality of helical beams extending between the coupling ends, the helical beams having beam cross-sectional dimensions selected to provide equal stresses in operation at the inner and outer diameters of the beams, irrespective of direction of rotation and being of a ratio of depth to thickness to provide for substantially simultaneous failure in the buckling and elastic modes when rotated in a direction opposite the direction of beam spiral, whereby the load capacity of the coupling is independent of the direction of coupling rotation.

Abstract: A high voltage motor starter enclosure includes a floor mounted vertical section consisting of three starter cells, stacked one on top of the other, each cell being suitable to mount one full voltage, non-reversing, squirrel cage starter having a contactor of the air break type.

Abstract: A single acting dual piston positive displacement pump with alternating piston motion. A pump suitable for manual operation and operable at relatively high pressure such as 400 to 800 psig. A pump suitable for pumping corrosive liquids with the drive mechanism separated from the liquid lines. A pump housing with cylinder section and abutting manifold section, with the alternating reciprocating pistons in the cylinder section and the inlet and outlet openings in the manifold section, with the pistons projecting from the cylinder section opposite the inlet and outlet openings for connection to the piston drive mechanism.
