Patented Deo. 9, 1890.

VILLIAM E. TUCKER, OF JACKSON, GEORGIA.
PLANTER AND FERTILIZER-DISTRIBUTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,499, dated December 9, 1890.
Application tiled .Tuly 16, 1890. Serial No. 358,994. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. TUCKER, of Jackson, lin the county of Butts and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Planters and Fertilizer-Distributers, ot' which the following is a specification.
My invention relates generally to planters, and particularly to a combined cotton seed planter and fcriilizer-'distributer, and more particularly to that class of the same known as walking-planters and vibrating hoppers. y
rl`he object of my invention is to provide a machine ot' the character described that is equally as well adapted for planting as distributing, one in which the seeding' or fertilizino; can be done at the same time as plowing, and one that shall be cheap, simple, durable, and operative at all timcs.
\Vith these objects in view my invention consists in the pecnlar construction of several parts and their novel combination, such as shown in the drawings and more fully hereinafter described.
In the drawings formi ng apart of this specification, and in which the same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts, Figure l is a side view of my machine. Fig. 2 is a central vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a top plan view.
In constructing my improved machine I employ a beam B, standard S, secured at the rear end of the same, the handles Il, and covering-shovels S, all of which may be of any approved pattern. Near the forward end ot' t-he beam is secured the bearing-brackets B', in which is journaled a shaft t, and upon one end of said shaft is mounted the groundwheel XV and sprocket-wheel lV. Bracketarms C are secured to each side of` the beam near its rear end, said brackets being attached also to the handles II. A hopper D is rigidly secured between the bracket-arms C and pivoted to the rigid hopper, and beneath the same is the vibrating hopper E, said hopper being opened at its rear side, whereby a communication is had with the delivery-chute F, secured to the rear of the beam and standard and extending down beneath the standard. The seed fed into the rigid hopper will pass down into the vibrating' hopper or shoe, where it is shaken into the delivery-chute. To vibra-te the hopper E, I employ a lever E', secured at one end to the said hopper, its free end extending alongside the grou 11d-wheel YV, where it is engaged by a series of laterallyprojecting pins 1o, secured upon the face of said Wheel. By this construction the hopper Will be vibrated whenever the machine is running forward. A weight E2 is attached to the lever to insure its quick recovery and a stoppin e. in t-he side of the beam limits its downward movement. Bearingbrackets Gare secured to each side of the beam B near its rear end, and in said brackets is journaled the shaft G', said shaft extending beneath the vibrating hopper or shoe, and upon said shaft beneath the said hopper is mounted a wiperwheel I, and upon the end of the shaft G is mounted a sprocket-wheel Gconueeted with the sprocket-wheel lV by a chain Tand as the wheel lV revolves the wheel \Y revolves also, communicating motion to the shaft G', which operates the wiper I, thus assisting in the vibration of the hopper. By this construction, should the lever and studded wheel get out of order, the hopper will still be vibrated by means of the wiper-wheel. A rod K is passed transversely through the rigid hopper near its top, and to said rod are secured the rearwardly-extending horizontal arms K and K2, the arm K being shorter, as shown. A stirrer-rod L is attached to the arm K and extends entirely through the hoppers D and E, and has its lower end bent beneath the bottom of the hopper E, said bent end being so arranged that the wiper-wheel will engage and reciprocate the same, thereby stirring the seed or fertilizer within the hoppers. A feed-rod L is attached to the arm K2 and extends to the bottom of the hopper E and at its lower end is bent rearwardly, as shown, said bend resting on the bottom of the hopper. 'When the rod L is reciprocated by the wheel I, the rod K is turned. rlhis works the rod L', which l'eeds the seed or fertilizer out at the rear end of the hopper E into the chute F.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new isl. The combination, with a rigid hopper, of a vibrating hopper pivoted thereto, a lever secured to the vibratinghopper, a studded wheel IOC a Vibrating hopper, a wiper-wheel arranged beneath the same, a rock-shaft or rod journaied near the upper end of the rigid hopper, a stirrer-rod attached thereto and extending th rough the hopper, engaging the Wiper-Wheel, and a feed-rod, also attached to the rock-shaft or rod and having its lower end curved and 2o resting in the bottom of the Vibrating hopper, substantially as shown and described.
