  • Patent number: 4364194
    Abstract: The assembly for poison baiting rodents comprises a housing, an elongated hollow tubular element and a cover. The housing has an inner chamber that is sufficiently large to contain poison bait material. The elongated hollow tubular element has a coupling end and a length effective to fit the element inside the inner chamber of the housing when it is detached from the housing. The outer wall configuration includes an opening to receive the coupling end of the tubular element. The tubular element has a bore size sufficient to allow rodents to enter the inner chamber to feed on the poison bait while preventing larger animals from entering the inner chamber when the element is attached to the wall. The tubular element has a length sufficient to prevent animals other than rodents from gaining access to the inner chamber.

  • Patent number: 4169373
    Abstract: A tire bead inspection machine comprises a base on which a tire may be mounted for inspection. A frame is mounted on the base from which a first roller is cantilevered with a generally vertical axis and a pair of rollers on either side of the first roller are cantilevered in a direction transverse to the first roller, that is with generally horizontal axes. The frame is moveable on the base in a fashion to insert the first roller into the tire and force the bead outward, and at the same time swing the pair of rollers toward the vertical against their spring mountings in such a way that they exert force against the sidewall of the tire. In this fashion, the bead is grasped somewhat scissor fashion between the first roller and the pair of rollers. The first roller exerts a force against the inner part of the bead and the pair of rollers resist the force exerted by the first roller.
