Apparatus And Method For Positioning Randomly Oriented Articles In The Same Orientation
View pageUS Patent:
6564924, May 20, 2003
Filed:
Jul 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/900939
Inventors:
Bryan Street - Jackson MI, 49203
Dale R. Westrick - Grand Ledge MI, 48837
Dale R. Westrick - Grand Ledge MI, 48837
International Classification:
B65G 4724
US Classification:
198400, 198380, 406 79, 221278
Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed for positioning randomly oriented, asymmetrically-shaped articles in the same orientation, the apparatus comprising at least first and second oppositely arranged conduits dimensioned to receive the articles therein. Each conduit has an inlet end, and the inlet ends of the at least first and second conduits are spaced-apart to define an opening therebetween for receiving therein, one at a time, a plurality of asymmetrically-shaped articles that are randomly oriented in at least first and second orientations. Suction is created in both of the conduits, the suction being sufficient to selectively draw articles oriented in the first orientation from the opening into the inlet end of the at least first conduit, and sufficient to draw articles oriented in the second orientation from the opening into the inlet end of the at least second conduit, such that articles in the at least first and second conduits are all identically oriented relative to a path of travel through the conduits. The specification further discloses a method for positioning randomly oriented, asymmetrically-shaped articles in the same orientation, the method comprising the steps of: Providing at least first and second oppositely arranged conduits dimensioned to receive the articles therein, each conduit having an inlet end, and the inlet ends of the at least first and second conduits being spaced-apart to define an opening between the conduit inlets for receiving therein, one at a time, a plurality of asymmetrically-shaped articles that are randomly oriented in at least first and second orientations; presenting, one at a time, a plurality of asymmetrically-shaped articles that are randomly oriented in first and second orientations at the opening between the conduit inlets; and creating in both of the at least first and second conduits suction that is sufficient to selectively draw articles oriented in the first orientation from the opening into the inlet end of the at least first conduit, and sufficient to draw articles oriented in the second orientation from the opening into the inlet end of the at least second conduit, such that articles in the at least first and second conduits are all identically oriented relative to a path of travel through the conduits.
Carrier And Handle Therefor
View pageUS Patent:
42102448, Jul 1, 1980
Filed:
Aug 23, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/935892
Inventors:
Dale R. Westrick - Grand Ledge MI
International Classification:
B65D 8554
US Classification:
206373
Abstract:
A carrier as for tools, luggage and the like in which the carrier base is flexible fabric arranged for rolling or folding and in which a tab extending from the outer surface of the carrier base and substantially midway of its ends forms a handle when extended through an aperture provided at one end of the carrier base. A mechanically interlocking relationship is established between the handle tab and one apertured outer end edge of the base as by the use of a commercially available material such as "Velcro". Pockets or compartments are provided on the inner side of the base material in support of objects or things to be rolled up or folded in the carrier.
