US Classification:

56 30

Abstract:

Apparatus for collapsing an on-board crop receiver of a harvester to a transport position, utilizing a remotely releasable locking element to allow telescopic collapsing or retracting the receiver without entering the receiver, and powered apparatus for positively collapsing a duct extending between a row unit of the harvester and an inlet opening of the receiver. The duct is telescopically retractable at an inclined angle by a similarly inclined duct driver to a height about equal to that of the receiver when in the transport position, so as to be freed from the receiver and any associated hood extending outwardly therefrom associated with the inlet opening. Using crop compactor apparatus within the interior of the receiver, the compactor can be lowered and the locking mechanism unlocked, and then the compactor operated to telescopically collapse or retract the receiver. The receiver can be extended in the reverse order.

H04R 2500

US Classification:

381386

Abstract:

An apparatus for mounting a loudspeaker within an enclosure is disclosed. The apparatus includes a loudspeaker mounting plate formed within the enclosure, and a mounting boss formed within the enclosure which is separated from the loudspeaker mounting plate by a fixed distance. The loudspeaker includes a first surface for engaging the loudspeaker mounting plate and a second surface disposed opposite the first surface. A pressure plate is disposed between the second surface of the loudspeaker and the mounting boss. An axial force member is associated with the pressure plate, and the axial force member is operable for applying a force between the pressure plate and the mounting boss for securing the loudspeaker between the loudspeaker mounting plate and the mounting boss.
