ABSTRACT:
A device for converting linear movement into rotary movement includes a pair of pulleys mounted to a linearly movable supporting element. Selective linear movement of the supporting element drives a rotary element by a drive cable engaging the pulleys and the rotary element. The device is particularly adapted for use as a rotary valve for controlling the flow of product from an upper storage container to a lower hopper of an agricultural dispensing vehicle. An agricultural vehicle incorporating the rotary valve system of the present invention is provided with vertical supports for the product container enabling the vehicle to carry containers of larger size and increased storage capacity.
