Abstract: The invention relates to an agricultural seeding machine, in particular to a straw crushing and inter-furrow collecting-mulching no-tillage seeder. A straw-crushing device, a guide device, a fertilizer discharging device, and a furrowing and seeding device are sequentially arranged on a rack from front to back. According to the guide device, a plurality of straw-crushing guide assemblies having installation positions capable of being horizontally adjusted are arranged on an adjustment crossbeam, are in a prow shape, and each consist of a rear vertical back plate formed with a fertilization port, and two front symmetrical oblique guide plates. Straw is orderly spread on straw mulching belts between seeding belts while being crushed within the working range, and thus, the seeding belts are free of straw obstacles. The straw crushing and inter-furrow collecting-mulching no-tillage seeder is high in working integrity, easy to assemble, and low in energy consumption.

Abstract: A movable tow-bar assembly comprising: an elongate frame configured to be attached to a vehicle; a towing attachment comprising a sleeve that is shaped to receive a section of the elongate frame and allow translation of the towing attachment along a length of the frame; and a driving arrangement coupled with the towing attachment and the frame for effecting translational movement of the towing attachment along the length of the frame.
Abstract: A rotary tow coupling. The rotary tow coupling changes the angular orientation of a trailer relative to a tow vehicle without moving the tow vehicle. The rotary tow coupling is fixedly secured to the tow vehicle. The rotary tow coupling includes a hitch connectable to a trailer coupling. The hitch is moveable from a home position along a circuit around a reference point defined by the rotary tow coupling. The hitch is moved a selected direction along the circuit, the trailer moves left and right and forward and backward. One complete circuit of the hitch incrementally changes the angular orientation of the trailer relative to the tow vehicle. Using multiple trips around the circuit, the rotary tow coupling is capable of adjusting the angular orientation of the trailer relative to the tow vehicle between 90° and 270° without moving the tow vehicle.
Abstract: A towing hitch for attaching a towing vehicle to a towed object includes an arcuate guide attached around the back of the towing vehicle. A traveller, which moves freely along the guide, is hinged to a coupling which is, in turn, rotatably attached to the towed object. Steering the towing vehicle in either a clockwise or counter clockwise direction causes the traveller to move along the guide in the opposite direction, and the steering of the towing vehicle is facilitated. If the hitch includes a drive to power the traveller along the guide, the hitch alone can steer the towing vehicle.
Abstract: A system for connecting a towing, pushing, or hoisting self-propelled vehicle to a non-propelled vehicle utilizes two, three, four or five links connected to each vehicle by respective ball joints. The links converge so that the centers of the non-propelling vehicle's forces and motions can be located at places favorable to the steering, stability, and weight distribution of the two vehicles, usually at or near the center of gravity of the self-propelled vehicle. The locations of steering and carrying centers are determined by point-centers or two- or three-degree-of-freedom linear combinations of line-centers where lines extended from the links intersect in points or lines of intersection. The invention includes apparatus for varying the location of the virtual steering and support centers when the vehicles are at rest or in motion, by changing the separation of the hinge points or ball joints on either vehicle.
Abstract: Opposite ends of an outer webbing are engaged with the upper and lower portions of the door, one end of a webbing is wound up by a retractor provided at the central portion of the vehicle, the forward end of said webbing is slidable with the intermediate portion of the outer webbing, a first lock mechanism is provided at the intermediate portion of an inner webbing and a second lock mechanism is provided between the forward end portion of the inner webbing and the outer webbing, respectively, whereby one of the webbings is locked due to increased tensions in the webbings in an emergency of the vehicle, thereby positively restraining an occupant of the vehicle.
