A vacuum system for use in excavation operations. The system uses a tank having an open end that is closed by a door. The door is opened and closed by a door lifting assembly made up of an upper linkage arm, a lower linkage arm and a hydraulic cylinder. A socket is formed in the upper linkage arm, and a shaft housing is formed in the lower linkage arm. The shaft housing engages with the socket to latch the door closed. The upper linkage arm is attached to the door at a first pivot axis and is attached to the lower linkage arm at a second pivot axis. The lower linkage arm is attached to a side of the tank at a third pivot axis. When the door is open, the second pivot axis extends below a reference plane that contains the first and third pivot axis.

A hopper of a pharmaceutical counter comprises a housing defining an interior sized to hold a plurality of pharmaceuticals. The housing defines an outlet in communication with the interior that is sized and shaped to permit the plurality of pharmaceuticals to move therethrough. The hopper also includes a baffle supported by the housing and disposed in the interior. The baffle is disposed between upper and lower ends of the interior. The baffle is arranged to support a portion of the plurality of pharmaceuticals above the baffle when the plurality of pharmaceuticals is held in the interior of the housing. This relieves the head pressure of the pharmaceuticals at the outlet.

A discharge valve for discharging a food product may be arranged at a low point of a vessel. The discharge valve includes a valve body, a valve seat, a valve plug and an arm. The valve plug is attached to a first end of the arm and a second end of the arm is attached to a pivot point that is arranged inside the valve body. The arm is configured to pivot the valve plug between a valve closed position where the valve plug abuts the valve seat, and a valve open position where the valve plug is pivoted away from the valve seat, to a location where the valve plug is positioned at least partly within the valve body.

An example of an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a first track to mount on a container along a first side of the container opening. The apparatus further includes a second track to mount on the container along a second side of the container opening. The first side is opposite the second side. In addition, the apparatus includes a frame engaged with the first track and the second track. The frame is to move along the first track and the second track between an open position and a closed position. The apparatus also includes a first panel to mounted on the frame to cover a first portion of the container opening. The apparatus further includes a second panel to mounted on the frame to cover a second portion of the container opening. The first panel is to overlap the second panel by a distance.

A seed storage and dispensing bin includes a walled container having a top, a bottom opposite the top, an interior space defined between the top and the bottom and a divider dividing the interior space into first and second separate spaces each sized to receive a plurality of seeds therein. First and second openings are defined in the walled container at or near the bottom thereof, with each opening to a respective one of the first and second spaces. First and second doors are mounted to the container over the first and second openings respectively. Means are provided for moving the first door between open and closed positions thereof, and for moving the second door between open and closed positions thereof. In some embodiments, the same or different cross-sectional areas of the first and second openings may be exposed through selective movement of the first and second doors respectively.

An inlet assembly for a filling assembly of a storage compartment assembly includes a hopper configured to receive particulate material. The inlet assembly also includes a fill tray movably coupled to the hopper and configured to move between a stowage position and a loading position. One of the fill tray or the hopper has a slot, and the other of the fill tray or the hopper has a pivot engaged with the slot. Furthermore, the hopper has a first engagement feature, and the fill tray has a second engagement feature. In addition, the pivot and the slot enable the fill tray to move from the stowage position to a transitional position to align the first and second engagement features, and the pivot and the slot enable the fill tray to move from the transitional position to the loading position to engage the first and second engagement features.

A cargo container is disclosed which contains a bottom side; a front side; a back side; a central frame connected to the front side, the back side, and the bottom side, dividing the cargo container into a multiple storing areas; a left top wing-shaped door, hingedly connected to a top of the central frame, operable to open and close down to one and a half height to the central frame; a left bottom wing-shaped door, hingedly connected at a one and a half height of the central frame; a right top door, hingedly to the said half height distance to the mid-section frame; and a right bottom door, hingedly connected to the central frame at the one and a half height of the central frame and close down to the bottom side.

An inertable container (10) for transporting an additive manufacturing powder comprises an inertable volume (12) and a main opening (14) granting access to the inside of this inertable volume, the inertable volume (12) comprising an upper portion (16) and a lower portion (18), the main opening (14) being located in the lower portion (18) of the inertable volume, and the section (S12) of the inertable volume (12) increasing gradually over at least part of the height (H10) of the container (10) and from the lower portion (18) towards the upper portion (16) of the inertable volume. The main opening is equipped with a passive half-valve (20) allowing this main opening (14) to be closed in such a way as to be sealed in an airtight and humidity-proof manner. The container comprises at least two inerting tappings.

An alternative bottom drop and straight tee discharge from bulk tank conveying granular material, the tee having extensions for the automatic and manual operations of a disc valve, pivotally located within the horizontal section of the tee, during functioning. The disc valve may be manually operated, or pivoted through motorized operations, to allow for the alternative flow of bulk material from the vehicle hopper. The disc valve has an annular disc, integrally formed with upright supports, that are bearing mounted by shafts to the sidewalls of the structured tee.
