Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an ADA compliant coin recycler device that is capable of sorting a mixed denomination of coins, storing the coins and dispensing the desired amount of coins in the desired denomination. Additionally, the ADA compliant coin recycler device of the present invention also comprises a coin elevator assembly attached to the outside of the housing, which receives coins from the coin recycler and elevates the coins to an accessible height above the ADA's Standards for Accessible Design minimum reach requirement.

Abstract: A system is provided with a segmented solid feed pump having a plurality of pump segments coupled together in series along a path. Each pump segment of the plurality of pump segments has opposite side walls disposed about a holding receptacle. The segmented solid feed pump also includes a first transport section disposed along a first portion of the path, wherein the first transport section includes a first inlet duct, a first outlet duct, and first opposite guides extending between the first inlet duct and the first outlet duct.

Abstract: A cup feed assembly for a can bodymaker with a vertically oriented, reciprocating, elongated ram assembly is provided. The cup feed assembly includes a chute assembly, a rotatable feeder disk assembly, and a cup locator. The chute assembly includes a transfer chute. The transfer chute includes an outer second side member, a first end and a second end. The transfer chute first end is in communication with the feeder chute outlet end. The outer second side member at the transfer chute second end includes a first biasing device. The cup locator defines a holding space, the holding space in communication with the transfer chute second end. The feeder disk assembly is structured to move a cup disposed at feeder chute outlet end through the transfer chute into the cup locator. The first biasing device is structured to maintain a cup in the holding space.

Abstract: This invention is about water carrying lift that enables water to be used in watering fields (agricultural fields), energy production, etc by increasing the level of water in places like rivers, streams, creeks etc.

Abstract: There is provided a ready mixed concrete conveying apparatus which carries up ready mixed concrete in the vertical direction, and continuously and quantitatively feeds out the concrete to a belt conveyor to continuously and quantitatively the concrete to a concrete placing position, wherein a lift which includes a boom with the belt conveyor and a tripper for taking out the concrete from the belt conveyor is arranged on a tower mast so as to be liftable, and the concrete which has been carried up by a container-like carrier arranged on the tower mast is continuously and quantitatively supplied to the belt conveyor on the boom by supply means which is arranged on the container-like carrier or a transferring container for receiving the concrete from the container-like carrier.

Abstract: An endless belt conveyor including an independently supported first support pulley vertically and laterally displaced from a second support pulley. An endless belt including bulk material carrying compartments entrained around the first and second support pulleys and which is engaged by the full width of said support pulleys. The endless belt includes a radius of curvature near the top of the vertical run of a predetermined size such that the bulk material carried in the endless belt is not expel due to centrifugal force. A portion of the endless belt entrained over the first support pulley has a radius of curvature of a predetermined size such that the material carried in the endless belt is expelled due to centrifugal force.

Abstract: A product transfer apparatus for transferring individual product from a rotary feeding station to downstream apparatus such as a cartoner conveyor in preselected count stacks for subsequent discharge at a cartoner machine. Stacks of product are formed by dropping the product into stacks on a transfer conveyor and from there dropping the stacks directly into buckets of a cartoner conveyor. A transfer bucket conveyor is disposed beneath and transverse to an axis of the rotary feeding station and includes an upper fill run and a lower discharge run of product transfer buckets. The cartoner conveyor is disposed beneath and aligned with the transfer bucket conveyor and includes a series of cartoner product buckets operating in speed register with the lower run of product transfer buckets for receiving the preselected count stacks from the lower discharge run.

Abstract: A centrifugal force conveying apparatus for transferring feed material to a conveyor. The transfer conveyor includes a gravity feed chute, a screw conveyor disposed along a longitudinal passage and a rotating paddle wheel which receives the feed material from the screw conveyor. The paddle wheel accelerates the feed material to a prescribed velocity and along a range of predetermined vector directions to enable relatively low differential motion between the feed material and the receiving conveyor system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elevator having buckets (14) disposed at regular intervals along a drive belt (1) which co-operates with guide units (11) for guiding the belt round a path which is concave towards the said most distant points (14b) of the buckets so as to reduce the speed of the most distant points (14b) of the buckets from the belt in a loading zone.

Abstract: A coin loader for coin handling or processing machines includes a caster mounted coin bin which has a vertical run of a flexible conveyor belt operating in one side of the bin. A plurality of spaced flights are attached to the conveyor belt with each flight having a ledge portions with a scalloped edge and projecting outwardly from the belt a distance greater than half the diameter of the largest coin to be handled. A comb forms the bottom of the bin and has surfaces which complement the scalloped edges so that coins cannot slip out the bottom of the bin. Coins are lifted from the bin on the flights to a horizontal run of the conveyor belt which leads to a coin discharge point.

Abstract: A continuous vertical the ground-excavating arrangement which comprises a guide post for being driven vertically into the ground deeper than the desired excavation depth so that said guide post can stand independently of excavation, a lower earth loading mechanism slidably secured to the guide post, a lower earth loading mechanisms, a vertical conveyor including an endless chain and conveying containers, and a horizontal earth discharging mechanism secured to the top end of the guide post. The lower earth loading mechanism includes means for securing cut ends of the endless chain for ease in adding chain links to the endless chain as the lower earth loading mechanism is periodically moved to lower excavating depths.
