Appl. No.:

8/353455

Inventors:

Billy Moss - Franklin TN

International Classification:

B66F 904

US Classification:

414 245

Abstract:

A tractor mounted cylindrical hay bale lifter includes a rectangular frame mounted for rotation on the tractor lower arms of the three point hitch. A platform rides up and down the frame side leg guide channels in response to the raising and lowering of the lower arms such that a one foot rise in the platform results in a three foot rise in the platform relative to ground levcel. A spear and studs are mounted on the platform and a hydraulic cylinder connected to the center point controls the angular orientation of the spear and the frame. For jumbo bales, a lift assist cylinder is mounted between the draw bar and the frame to assist the cable lifting system. Lifting is generally vertical to enhance tractor stability. The spear and spear mount is detachable to enable the frame to accommodate other application mounting member.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A machine for tapering the ends of lengths of fiberglass pipe is disclosed. The machine includes an enclosing cabinet having mounted therein an electric motor and a vacuum system. A grinding wheel is rotated by the motor within the cabinet and preferably the vacuum system is wired for operation at all times when the electric motor is operated. One or more stationary mandrels mount in spaced relationship to the grinding wheel and are slightly angularly oriented relative thereto. Portions of the mandrel extend exteriorly of the cabinet to provide a positioning projection to receive one end of a length of fiberglass pipe in sliding engagement. The pipe is manually fed over the mandrel toward the rotating grinding wheel and is rotated as it is inwardly urged to form a circumferencial taper in the end of the fiberglass pipe. The vacuum system includes an inlet immediately adjacent to the grinding wheel to attract all particulate matter resulting from the grinding operation and to prevent escape of fiberglass dust to the atmosphere.
