Filed:

May 9, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/435469

Inventors:

Michael E. Terrell - Phoenix AZ 85005
Frank Gilbert Marks - Phoenix AZ 85005

International Classification:

F24F 7013

US Classification:

119448, 454228, 454337, 416100

Abstract:

A livestock cooling system creates an environment for protecting the health and productivity of animals, particularly dairy cows. One or more cooling fans are connected to programmable oscillation means, enabling the herds man to program fan oscillation according to the location of the livestock. Water is injected under high pressure into the air stream of the fans to create a fog. The system is also programmable according to various environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind velocity. The pressure and volume of the injected water are programmable and may be adjusted by the controller according to the observed environmental conditions. The system provides a cool and healthy environment for livestock, where the environment is programmed to track the animals according to the time of day and the location of shade.

Appl. No.:

12/313032

Inventors:

Michael Terrell - Waddell AZ, US
David Viss - Waddell AZ, US

International Classification:

B60P 1/52
B60P 1/14

US Classification:

414543, 414547

Abstract:

A receiver mounted drum lifter which may be mounted utilizing the receiver pocket of a standard tow bar trailer hitch. The receiver pocket is typically the female member of the hitch platform fitted to the vehicle, where the receive pocket normally receives a male member having a hitch ball attached. The disclosed device lifts a drum or similar container from a first position in which the long axis of the drum is oriented in a generally vertical position, with an inlet/outlet also oriented in an upright vertical position, to a second position in which the long axis of the drum is oriented such that the inlet/outlet is in a sufficiently downwardly facing position to allow the contents of the drum to be emptied through the inlet/outlet. Embodiments of the disclosed apparatus comprise a framework adapted to be mounted in the receiver pocket. The framework comprises a drum cradling section and an inertia overcoming section.

US Classification:

239 141, 239280, 239320

Abstract:

A climate control system comprising a base, a mast extending from the base, a fan mounted on the mast for producing an airflow, the airflow being directed by an adjustable diffuser, and a fog introduction system connected to a water source and mounted adjacent to the fan. The fog introduction system introduces fog into the airflow. The fog introduction system comprises at least one fog ring and the water source may further comprise a pump. The climate control system may further comprising a heat source. The fog ring may comprise nozzles, and the nozzle diameter may be in the range of 0.002 to 0.02 inches.
