Patent number: 4112652Abstract: A packaging machine of the type primarily designed to package objects normally having an outer curvilinear configuration within heat shrinkable material. A conveyor assembly is mounted on a housing and maintained in continuous motion along a predetermined path of travel whereby the conveyor assembly comprises a plurality of roller elements at least a portion of which are maintained in constant rotary motion so as to impart this rotary motion to the material and the objects being packaged. A plurality of heated cutting elements are disposed in adjustable, spaced apart position in substantially transverse relation to the path of travel and in interruptive, severing relation to the material at least partially encasing the objects being packaged. A heat tunnel is further provided to apply an additional heat environment to the severed packaging so as to conform the packaging essentially to the configuration of the object being packaged.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1976Date of Patent: September 12, 1978Inventor: William A. Bodolay

Patent number: 4112653Abstract: A rotary-type lawn mower is provided with cutting means comprised of a rotatable disc-like member having a plurality of flexible non-metallic cords projecting radially from its perimeter. The disc-like member is rotated within the cutting plane by a suitable power source such as a conventional gasoline-driven engine, and at a velocity such that the projecting cords function to sever the grass in a substantially conventional manner. The cords are therefore of a length and diameter which are functionally related to effective cutting and are mounted within the disc-like member in brackets formed to support the cords against vertical as well as lateral deflection resulting from contact with the grass sought to be cut.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1976Date of Patent: September 12, 1978Assignee: Weed Eater, Inc.Inventors: George C. Ballas, Albert W. Mitchell

Patent number: 4112654Abstract: Adjusting apparatus is provided for a rotary crop cutting knife on a row crop harvesting machine. The apparatus mounting the knife on the crop divider provides a tilting adjustment of the cutting plane about an axis transverse of the crop passage, a linear vertical adjustment of the cutting plane, and a tilting adjustment of the cutting plane about an axis longitudinal of the divider, the apparatus preferably being a rectangular bar, to which the knife is rotatably mounted in depending relationship, which has a portion telescoped within the divider frame and clamped there inside by an arrangement of bolts providing these adjustments.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1976Date of Patent: September 12, 1978Assignee: International Harvester CompanyInventor: Donald A. Picha

Patent number: 4112655Abstract: An end section adapted to prevent clogging of the end guard on a reciprocating type mower and having a single point, inner and outer cutting edges, and means of attachment to a conventional mower. The single point design results in economical production of an end section having superior cutting edges which can be easily resharpened when required.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1977Date of Patent: September 12, 1978Inventor: Hubert H. Henry

Patent number: 4112656Abstract: A power driven circular saw blade for cutting brush is extensible with scythe tips mountable diametrically thereon for cutting grass. The saw blade is horizontally mounted in a recess defined between forwardly extending sides of a wheeled cart, the sides acting as brush guides and stabilizing against a directional pull generated by the rotation of the saw blade in heavy brush, as well as providing a safety factor in shielding the operator and others from the rotating saw blade and scythe tips, and matter flung thereby.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 1977Date of Patent: September 12, 1978Inventors: Jerry Ranko, Frederick E. Ranko

Patent number: 4112658Abstract: This invention relates to a spun yarn spinning machine of the air injection type, which has first and second yarn twisting devices disposed between front rollers and delivery rollers. These first and second yarn twisting devices have air injection nozzles for injecting air obliquely fed toward the delivery roller side. These air injection nozzles of the first and second yarn twisting devices open into the cylindrical yarn passages of the yarn twisting devices so that the twisting directions of the yarns are in counter direction with each other tangentially of the passages at a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the passages of the first and second yarn twisting devices. The first yarn twisting device also has an untwisting device associated therewith for loosening the fibers before the fibers once twisted by the injected air in the first yarn twisting are fed into the second yarn twisting device.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1976Date of Patent: September 12, 1978Assignee: Murata Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Toshihumi Morihashi
