Patent number: 7514614Abstract: The present invention teaches an electro-acoustic guitar having an isolated resonant soundboard with or without an integrated transducer attached to the soundboard. The soundboard/transducer assembly fits into an aperture of the guitar body frame and has structure allowing it to be adjusted in multiple axes to provide the best playing action. The soundboard may also be interchangeable with other soundboards to further alter sound quality. String vibration energy is conducted by an acoustically pure bridge to the soundboard/transducer assembly. The large magnetic transducer is integrated by having one portion, a magnet structure, secured to a magnet support and another portion, the voice coil and mounting hub, secured to the soundboard spaced and opposed above the magnet support thus creating a truly integrated electro-mechanical soundboard transducer assembly with tonal qualities modified by an internal chamber defined by the space between the soundboard and the magnet structure support.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Inventor: Walter Jay McGrew

Publication number: 20030218014Abstract: An improved closure device for a laboratory scale chemical reactor which provides fast and efficient opening and closing of the reaction vessel as well as providing a simple and reliable system for relieving excessive pressure should it build up in the reaction vessel. The reactor is sealed by use of a substantially flat head that is seated against the rim of the reaction vessel by pressure which is generated by a variably adjustable closure means. Since the closure pressure can be adjusted to any value within the design limitations of the closure means, the closure means also operates as a pressure relief valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2003Publication date: November 27, 2003Inventors: Walter Jay Gregory, Frank Josef Schiller

Patent number: 6240980Abstract: A bag filling process and machine wherein material to be bagged is force fed into a tunnel from an end and wherein the material is compacted and fed through the tunnel and out the opposite end which opens into a bag surrounding the tunnel. To avoid compacting and filling of the bag from the bottom up, a ramp in the bottom of the tunnel directs the flow of material to a mid-height position to promote compacting and filling of the bag from the mid-point position both downwardly and upwardly from the ramp end.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: Ag-Bag International LimitedInventors: Larry R.

Patent number: 5220772Abstract: A machine for sheathing bales of material such as hay, straw and the like The machine has radially adjustable fingers to stretch a resilient sheath for the free insertion of the bales. The machine has elevating and guide mechanism for elevating and guiding the bales through the machine and as the bales exit the machine they are encased in the sheath. The resilient sheath will shrink to its original size to thereby fit closely to the contour of the bale. The machine has a swing away tow bar for offsetting the machine to either the left or right of the towing unit permitting the towing unit to travel on either side of the bale row. The swing away tow bar may be adjusted to a center position for ease of towing the machine from one job site to another or down a roadway. The swing away tow bar eliminates much of the side draft experienced previously.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1991Date of Patent: June 22, 1993Assignee: Ag-Bag CorporationInventors: Mike Koskela, Larry Inman, Walter Jay
