In apparatus for feeding blanks for hinged lid packets, the blanks are supported in a stack by two pairs of pivotal claws which operate alternately so that at any given time only one pair of opposed claws supports the stack. A plunger device, having a central and two tiltable outer sections, engages the lowermost blank by suction and bends down opposite ends of the blank through a small angle, thus progressively withdrawing the blank from the stack. In a modification one pair of claws is replace...

The feeding mechanism serves to intermittently feed stock to a processing machine and comprises a rocker lever having at its outer end an arcuate surface shaped according to an arc of a circle, crank drive comprising a crank which is operatively connected to said rocker lever, said crank drive being operable to impart an oscillation to said rocker lever, a clamping roller adapted to cooperate with said arcuate surface and forming a feeding clamp therewith, a retaining clamp for holding said stoc...

A feeding device comprises a plurality of cassettes capable of supporting thereon copy mediums, a cassette cradle for holding the cassettes in an operatively associated relationship with one another, feed means for feeding the copy mediums, control means for controlling the feed means to intermittently feed the copy mediums, and means for selectively displacing the cassette cradle to at least two positions to selectively locate at least one of the cassettes at a position where it may be acted on...

Apparatus for feeding flat items comprising a rotatable body, a drive member having a drive surface for drivingly contacting the surface of an item, said body and said member defining therebetween a nip, and respective surface portions of the body and the member at the nip being movable only in directions extending askew of one another with a skew angle such that the body surface portion frictionally resists the passage of an item through the nip.

The present invention relates to a feeding bottle, and in particular to one which has a container provided with threads at its upper portion, a collar threadedly engaged with the container, a mouthpiece fixedly attached on the collar, and a cap selectively engageable with the top and bottom of the collar.

A device for feeding, sheet by sheet, a plurality of stacked sheets of paper cut in a predetermined size into an image forming apparatus such as, for example, a reproduction apparatus, a printing machine, and so forth, which is constructed with a stacking table to receive thereon a plurality of sheets of paper cut in size, pawls for separating the stacked sheets cut in size and mounted on the stacking table, feeding device to feed the cut sheet stacked on the stacking table, and a warp regulatin...

Mixed feeds used in feeding pigs are improved by adding sodium diacetate and dehydrated whey in proportions sufficient to enhance feed efficiency.

Mixed feeds used in feeding turkeys are improved by adding sodium diacetate and dehydrated whey in proportions sufficient to enhance feed efficiency.

An apparatus for supplying feed material to animals and poultry. The apparatus has a trough located below a hopper used to store dry feed material. A plurality of legs support the hopper on the trough. A tubular member for carrying liquid, as water, extends through the hopper and is joined to an outwardly directed lateral tubular extension. The tubular member and extension is used to dispense the liquid into the trough. A drive motor rotates the tubular member to distribute the liquid around the...

A feeding wagon has a wheeled frame and a reinforced, enclosed receptacle with an entrance through which crop can be loaded. The receptacle can be attached to the frame by hydraulic cylinder and swash plate assemblies that engage coupling points on upwardly extending supports that are fastened at the sides of the receptacle. The swash plates are pivoted to lift the receptacle onto the frame with the aid of guides. A crop feeding device, including a pick up and advancing member on an auxiliary fr...
