US Patent:
7562516, Jul 21, 2009
Filed:
Jun 15, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/139500
Inventors:
Craig Witty - Winnetka IL, US
Assignee:
O-Sage, LLC - Winnetka IL
International Classification:
A01D 34/53
US Classification:
56249, 56294
Abstract:
A mowing apparatus includes a reel mechanism and a cutting mechanism. The reel mechanism rotates about a first central axis in a first direction. The cutting mechanism rotates about a second central axis in a second direction opposite of the rotation of the first direction. The cutting mechanism is positioned eccentric to the reel mechanism wherein the first central axis is offset from the second central axis by a distance less than 10% of the diameter of a reel diameter. The reel mechanism and the cutting mechanism are configured to have at least one cutting blade contact at least one reel bar during the rotation of the cutting mechanism about the second central axis such that vegetation is cut at a section of a rotary path of the reel mechanism that is greater than 10% of a circumference of the rotary path.

Fitment Based Dispensing System For A Pouch

View page
US Patent:
58067191, Sep 15, 1998
Filed:
Jul 11, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/893429
Inventors:
Craig Witty - Winnetka IL
Craig Boyd - Mt. Prospect IL
Assignee:
Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance, SA - Pully
International Classification:
B65D 3556
US Classification:
222105
Abstract:
The system includes a rigid container having a fitment coupling, and a flexible pouch with a fitment thereon which is placed within a recess of the rigid container. The fitment has an annular attachment member which engages with a mating member on the fitment coupling. In this manner, the fitment is secured to the rigid container thereby allowing an user/consumer to dispense the contents of the flexible pouch by gripping the container. In an alternate embodiment, the rigid container permits the user to grasp the pouch to dispense the contents without raising the rigid container from a table. Various fitments may be employed in practicing the present invention such as flip cap, screw cap, tamper-proof fitments, and the like.

Hybrid Container Having A Rigid Body And Polymer Film Ends

View page
US Patent:
59968842, Dec 7, 1999
Filed:
Dec 16, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/991151
Inventors:
Peter Frisk - Chicago IL
Craig Witty - Winnetka IL
Assignee:
Pepsico, Inc. - Purchase NY
International Classification:
B65D 536
US Classification:
22911716
Abstract:
A novel hybrid beverage container having a rigid body and flexible polymer film ends is disclosed herein. The hybrid container may be folded in a closed state for storage, and erected for a filling state. The top end of the container has a recloseable access for filling and sealing the container with a beverage. The container may also have a handle device. In one preferred embodiment, the rigid body is composed of a polyethylene coated fiberboard material. In another embodiment, the rigid body is composed of a mineral filled polyolefin.

Process And Apparatus For Adding Titles, Subtitles, And Computer-Generated Images To Pre-Existing Photographic Images

View page
US Patent:
50311220, Jul 9, 1991
Filed:
Nov 28, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/622324
Inventors:
Craig D. Witty - Winnetka IL
International Classification:
G06F 1520
G03B 2132
US Classification:
364525
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for adding titles, subtitles, and computer-generated images to pre-existing film images as part of the process of rephotography or photographic printing, in which a light valve is used first to create a high-contrast mask to prevent double exposure, and the same light valve is subsequently used to expose the image of the titles, subtitles, or computer-generated graphics onto the film.

Process And Apparatus For Creating Traveling Mattes

View page
US Patent:
45374813, Aug 27, 1985
Filed:
Nov 1, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/438165
Inventors:
Craig D. Witty - Winnetka IL
International Classification:
G03B 2132
A63J 500
US Classification:
352 89
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for creating traveling mattes in which a first image is photographed and then sensed. The first image is then electronically processed followed by the steps of photographing on the same film a successive image and simultaneously transmitting to a light valve an electronic signal to produce a high-contrast negative image corresponding to the first image so that the successive image is combined with the first image.

Reel Mower Cutting Bar

View page
US Patent:
20220217903, Jul 14, 2022
Filed:
Jan 8, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/144702
Inventors:
- Shelbyville IN, US
Craig Witty - Winnetka IL, US
International Classification:
A01D 34/62
Abstract:
A mower includes a frame, a blade assembly, and a reel. The blade assembly is supported by the frame for rotation about a first axis between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The reel is supported by the frame for rotation about a second axis. The reel defines an outer diameter relative to the second axis and engages the blade assembly at a contact location in the engaged position. The outer diameter defines a tangent at the contact location. A force in a direction substantially parallel to the tangent is operable to produce a first torque in a first direction about the first axis when the blade assembly is in the engaged position. The weight of the blade assembly is operable to produce a second torque in a second direction about the first axis when the blade assembly is in the engaged position.

Blade For Mowing Apparatus And Method Of Securing A Blade To A Mowing Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
20160374266, Dec 29, 2016
Filed:
Jun 24, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/749199
Inventors:
- Winnetka IL, US
Craig Witty - Winnetka IL, US
International Classification:
A01D 34/53
Abstract:
A method of securing a blade to an apparatus for cutting vegetation, wherein the apparatus includes a first and a second blade contacting structure. The method includes providing an elongated blade that is configured and arranged to be relatively flexible; and positioning the elongated blade between the first blade contacting structure and the second blade contacting structure such that the first blade contacting structure makes contact with a first surface of the elongated blade and the second blade contacting structure makes contact with a second surface of the elongated blade. The positioning step results in a plurality of bending forces being applied to the first and second surfaces of the elongated blade via the first and second blade contacting structures, thereby bending the elongated blade, and whereby the bending forces secure the elongated blade to the apparatus for cutting vegetation.
