DE409868C - Device on two-furrow plows for planting potatoes with a funnel-shaped feed container for the latter - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a device on plows for planting potatoes, by means of which the latter is not, as before, on the sole of the furrow, but in a corresponding manner Height above the same on the sloping surface of the raised dam be filed and embedded.

Attempts have been made to roll the potatoes forwards or sideways on the

ίο to counter the sole of the furrow by having one the potatoes fall on the upper part of the furrow embankment and on the embankment rolled downwards onto the sole of the furrow, but these attempts did not achieve the desired result Result because the potatoes, due to their unequal shape and size, always move in a different direction when unrolling take the furrow embankment.

To achieve the intended purpose

ao a mouldboard is arranged on the plow tree in the longitudinal direction of the furrow, its lower edge slides along the sloping surface of the raised dam so that which are supplied by hand in the usual way by means of a funnel-shaped container Potatoes prevented by the mouldboard from falling onto the bottom of the furrow and be embedded by the subsequent raised dam.

The device has the main advantages over all others that the potatoes not crushed or damaged, always equidistant from each other loose soil come to rest and germinate more easily as well Put deeper and stronger roots than when laying them on the usually very firm ones Furrow sole.

The subject of the invention is shown in the drawing shown in an exemplary embodiment, namely show

Fig. Ι and 2 the device in connection with a two-blade plow in side view and top view while

Fig. 3 illustrates a part of the field planted with the device in cross section.

A funnel d made of thin sheet metal is attached to the plow tree α approximately in the middle between the two shares b and c so that it can be adjusted vertically and laterally. Furthermore, between the two families b and! c a mouldboard e attached to the plow tree α , which can also be adjusted accordingly both in height and laterally and in an inclined position by means of rods / and g.

The handling and mode of operation of the device are as follows:

As is well known, the potatoes are in the

second plow furrow planted. In this device give £ pure "as workers always Jain second next to the plow .gehr% OD ^f} 6EI feathers ^ step raises behind the Pflue ^ jährend a potato into the hopper d, which carries if necessary on its inner side a soft curtain, so that the thrown in potatoes cannot be damaged under any circumstances.

ίο How. As can now be seen from Fig. 3, the lower edge of the correspondingly slanted mouldboard e lies against the inclined surface of the dam raised by the front coulter b , so that each time the potato falling through the funnel d is held at the correct height above the furrow sole will. The potato remains at this point while the mouldboard e slides along it until it is embedded at the end of the latter by the raised dam of the rear share c, which is indicated in Fig. 3 in a dotted line.

The device described can advantageously also to single-bladed plow use, said mouldboard e penetrates accordingly deep into the raised by the coulter dam, creating a trough in which the potatoes remain lying be embedded to it from the dam of the following plow gear.
