  • Patent number: 6318000
    Abstract: The circulating type grain drying machine is provided in which, at the grain filling operation, a controller causes a first heated air generator to operate and a second heated air generator to stop operating, and also causes, according to the detected values of the outside air humidity from an outside air humidity detector, an airflow control section to operate so as to change the quantity of the airflow by an air exhaust section. Also, at the drying operation, the controller controls the first heated air generator and controls the temperature of the heated air supplied into each heating pipe according to the detected values of the grain water content value, and controls the second heated air generator and controls the temperature of the temperature of the heated air supplied into the drying section according to the detected values of the grain water content values and the grain filling amount.

  • Patent number: 3985193
    Abstract: A semi-passive occupant restraining belt arrangement comprises a first belt having one end fixed to an inboard lower rear portion of the door and other end received by a first releasable automatic locking inertia retractor mounted adjacent a lower inboard portion of a seat. A second belt is provided having one end secured to an intermediate portion of the first belt and other end received by a second releasable automatic locking inertia retractor mounted adjacent an upper outboard portion of the seat. Release means are provided for releasing the first and second locking inertia retractors. A belt hanger is mounted forward and above the seat and has a hook for receiving the second belt. Motor means moves the hook from an operative position, in which if the second belt is hung on the hook the hook will receive the second belt, to an inoperative position in which the hook will release the second belt.
