Abstract: A camera assembly includes a motor configured to generate a driving power; a motor shaft that extends from the motor, such as to define a first axis, and is configured to rotate by the driving power of the motor; a pulley configured to rotate on a second axis, that is spaced from the first axis, according to rotation of the motor shaft; a belt configured to couple the motor shaft and the pulley, and convert the rotation of the motor shaft to rotation of the pulley, and tension of the belt applies a force to the motor shaft in a direction towards the second axis; a camera module configured to be mounted on the pulley and rotate together with the pulley; and an elastic body configured to apply a biasing force to the motor shaft such as to bias the motor shaft in a direction away from the second axis.

Abstract: A grain auger having a discharge chute with a primary opening is also provided with at least one secondary opening and a door movable between opened and closed positions relative to the secondary opening. The door is normally closed by spring bias, but will open if the primary discharge opening becomes blocked, thereby releasing grain through the secondary opening, to prevent damage to the auger.

Abstract: It is conventional to use an electric motor for each device requiring such a drive even although only one such device may be used at one time, because it is inconvenient and time consuming to disconnect the motor and re-connect same to another device. The present invention enables a single electric motor to be used on a plurality of devices and is easily changed from one to another. The device consists of a base plate secured in the correct position on each of the devices. The single motor is mounted on a support plate having a pivot shaft at the rear thereof easily attached and detached for pivotal action, to one side of any of the base plates and having a compression spring reacting between the front of the support plate and the device to urge the support plate and the motor upwardly to supply sufficient tension to a drive belt operatively extending between the motor and the device upon which the motor is detachably secured.
