  • Patent number: 11414819
    Abstract: A drain is provided which may be used in a surface including a paver stone. The drain includes a body having an upper wall and a cavity extending from the upper wall. The body further includes a drain opening in fluid communication with the cavity. The body additionally includes a plurality of support members. Each support member at least partially extends into the cavity and includes a support surface, with the support surfaces of the plurality of support members being configured to collectively support a paver stone placed thereon. The drain additionally includes a plurality of retainers selectively engageable with the body to collectively define a paver zone sized to receive the paver stone. The body includes a drainage pathway from a location outside of the paver zone, through the cavity and to the drain opening.

  • Patent number: 8869498
    Abstract: The present disclosure is a handheld harvester apparatus including a threshing drum configured to rotate. The harvester may further include a plurality of teeth connected to the threshing drum and configured to strip seeds from a head of a plant. The harvester also includes a screening assembly coupled to the threshing drum. The screening assembly is configured to receive seeds and plant material from the threshing drum and to eject the plant material from the harvester and direct the seeds downward. The harvester further includes a first screen configured to receive the seeds from the screening assembly and to allow seeds sized below a predetermined threshold to pass through the first screen and to prevent plant material exceeding the predetermined threshold to pass through the first screen. The harvester may further include a collection chamber coupled to the first screen and configured to receive the seeds.

  • Publication number: 20080261670
    Abstract: A forage harvester is provided with intake conveyor mechanisms, which convey the chopped material to a downstream chopping assembly, with an upper discharge chute located downstream of the chopping assembly, and with a conditioning device composed of a rotatably drivable roller assembly located between the chopping assembly and the upper discharge chute, and it is possible to adjust the at least two crop material passages between the conditioning rollers of the conditioning device and the gap width of the at least two passages in such a manner that the gap width of the passage located in the inlet region of the conditioning device is larger than the gap width of a passage located downstream in the material flow direction.

  • Patent number: 6231439
    Abstract: A self-propelled combine harvester has an axial-flow separating device including a chopping device with supporting rings which carry impact teeth. The main body of each separating rotor is equipped with several positioning profiles, which are rigidly connected to the main body and extend spirally around it. The supporting rings are provided with corresponding grooves. As a result, a form-locking connection is made between the supporting rings and the main body. The positioning profiles are toothed at the longitudinal edge leading in the direction of rotation of the separating rotor, so that the regions of the supporting rings adjoining the recesses engage in the tooth gaps are prevented from sliding axially. A locking ring is releasably mounted on the rear end of the main body. The number of parts is minimized and the construction of the supporting rings carrying the impact teeth and the main body of the separating rotor minimize the assembly time.
