20100293915 | Articulating Hay Rake - The present invention relates to an economical wheel rake having two arms that adjust from transport position to an operating position using a combination of an actuator and a dual axis articulating joint. The hay rake apparatus having a wheeled frame, a rake arm having a trailing end and a leading end, an intermediate arm having a first end connected to the frame and a second end which is fixed to the rake arm, a dual axis articulating joint connecting the frame to the intermediate arm, a telescoping actuator attached to the wheel frame using a first actuator joint and to the intermediate arm using a second actuator joint. The dual axis articulating joint is pivotable on a horizontal and a vertical axis when the telescoping actuator extends or retracts causing a longitudinal and a latitudinal angle between the intermediate arm and the frame to change. The rake arm and rake wheels are therefore moveable from an inoperable transport position to an operable position. | 11-25-2010 |

20120222432 | DIRECT CONTACT ICEMAKER WITH CHAMBERED AIR COOLING SYSTEM - A refrigerator includes a direct contact ice making system in conjunction with a circulating liquid coolant. The ice making system includes a coolant loop and an air flow chamber on a portion of the loop. The air flow chamber includes channels formed by offset protrusions, which direct air back and forth over the portion of the cooling loop to cool ambient air within the ice making system. The cooled air is then directed by a fan and supply duct to an ice storage container to prevent ice cubes in the container from melting. Once the air has warmed in the container, it is directed by a return duct to the beginning of the air flow chamber to begin the process over once again, thus creating a recirculation of air within a refrigerator system to cool an ice storage container. | 09-06-2012 |
