  • Patent number: 6675903
    Abstract: A beach cleaner for recovering waste while moving in a towed state by a traction vehicle. A grating-like portion scoops up waste present in front of the beach cleaner as the beach cleaner is moved and a reticulate portion that is formed behind the grating-like portion to hold waste. As the beach cleaner is moved, waste present in front of the beach cleaner is scooped up onto the grating-like portion and is held with the reticulate portion formed behind the grating-like portion. Sand that is scooped up together with the waste is allowed to drop through the gaps in the grating-like portion.

  • Patent number: 4142585
    Abstract: Within an agricultural vehicle for harvesting root crops, such as potatoes, a frame is suspended and has its bottom formed by a screen conveyor, its front end carrying a set of plows preceded by pilot wheels which ride respective furrow slices and control the elevation of the frame. The suspension for the frame comprises a pair of cables, one of them extending transversely over two rollers and engaging the rear of the frame at opposite ends while the other rises from a forward part of the frame and is hydraulically tensionable for raising or lowering same. The frame is limited for movement both longitudinally and transversely with reference to the vehicle body, its mobility in any direction being restricted by a pair of rearwardly projecting lateral guide rollers confined between vertical tracks and horizontal abutments; one of these guide rollers has a trapezoidal profile coacting with a similarly shaped track surface while the other guide roller is substantially cylindrical.
