Description

Description of the invention

This invention relates to a device for cutting and processing vegetation, and in particular - to a device 2 for cutting vegetation with simultaneous processing of plant stems remaining after trimming with a special liquid.

Power companies periodically trim vegetation that grows along power lines in right-of-way to maintain access to power lines and minimize grid losses. Access is required to facilitate maintenance and repair of damaged lines. Excessive network losses can occur when high and dense vegetation under power lines causes leakage of electric current into the ground. The higher and denser the vegetation, the higher the loss in the line due to side radiation. Road authorities also periodically trim plants that grow in the middle and along the sides of roads to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians. Cutting vegetation improves visibility and creates areas along roads for emergency stops. As the need for power lines and roads increases, 12 the length of right-of-way and roadsides increases exponentially. Accordingly, electric companies and road authorities are constantly finding more efficient and economical ways to cut vegetation along the right-of-way and roadsides.

Power companies and road agencies have found it beneficial to treat plants with special substances during cutting to limit the growth of unwanted vegetation or to slow down the growth rate of desirable vegetation. Vegetation is usually treated with granular or liquid substances such as growth regulators, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers or biological agents, depending on the desired result. Treatment with liquids is most often carried out by spraying in the air, so that the liquid contacts the vegetation and is retained by the absorption of the liquid into individual plants.

Common methods of spreading fluids include spraying the treatment fluid into the area containing the plants from aerial vehicles, from ground vehicles equipped with spray nozzles, from hand-held sprayers, or using mowers equipped with treatment devices. However, until now there were no mowers with processing devices that could cut vegetation and process it in a non-horizontal direction, for example, on the slopes of hills, with the attachment of the mower head to the end of the articulated outrigger. co

Unfortunately, these methods of distribution do not ensure the accuracy of distribution or regulation of the amount of liquid that reaches the plants. Methods of distribution, in particular, spraying, allow the processing substance to get not only on the plants to be processed, but also in other places. If the treatment is carried out through the air, the density of the spray is reduced and some plants may not be treated at all. In addition, if the concentration of the treatment substance is high, the operator usually spreads more substance than necessary, 39 | in this way, large amounts of substances are wasted unproductively. Processing liquids are usually sprayed until the leaves of the plants become visibly wet. At the same time, it is impossible to predict how much of the processing substance will fall on the ground around the plants and pollute the surrounding soil and the underground water system, and how much of the processing substance will be absorbed into the vascular, or evaporative, system of the plants, on which it should have the desired effect. From 50 Bom'Eiapso, the herbicide manufacturer, warns consumers that its liquid chemicals are effective only if the substance penetrates the leaves and is absorbed into the plant's evaporative system. That's why chemical companies

Iz" release chemicals known as "adjuvants" that facilitate the penetration of liquids that are sprayed through the dense leaf sheath. Many processing liquids also contain surface-active substances that promote the absorption of the agent into the evaporative system of the plant. However, of course, only a small part of the sprayed liquid actually enters the evaporative system of the plant. Another part of the chemical liquid settles on the ground, from where, when mixed with precipitation, it can spread to the surrounding areas or evaporate into the atmosphere, and then the "carriage" is blown away by the wind.

Naturally, farmers and those living near power line and highway right-of-way would object to the use of treatment fluids that would cause them to spread or be carried away. so 20 Therefore, government laws and municipal ordinances in many cases restrict electric companies and road agencies from distributing treatment fluids by spraying. | although electric companies and road agencies strictly obey these laws and regulations, environmentalists believe that any method of distribution of processing fluids inevitably results in contamination of the soil and the underground water system, as well as the risk of their erosion and dispersion by the wind. In addition, in the event that there is chemical contamination of land or water near the processing area, electric companies and road agencies cannot

GF) to provide convincing evidence that the operation of cutting and processing plants was not a source of contamination. There are various devices for cutting and processing vegetation with special liquids. For example, in patents

USA Mo. 2,908,444 and 2,939,636, publ. 13.10.59 and 07.06.60, respectively, by Mullen; US patent Mo. 2,973,615, publ. 07.03.61, author Yaremchuk; US patent Mo. 3,332,221, publ. 07/25/67, by McCain, described 60 rotary lawnmowers equipped with liquid chemical sprayers. In US patent Mo. 5,237,803, publ. 08/24/93 by Domingue describes a trailed mower (with horizontally rotating blades) or betwing type mower equipped with sprayers for liquid chemicals. Sprayers are located above the blades inside the mower in such a way that the spray of processing liquid is distributed strictly within the area under the body as the mower moves on the ground. The liquid is dispersed under the action of centrifugal force, which is either created by rotation, or released over the mower blade, so that part of the liquid evaporates as it collides with the housing and/or the rotating mower blade. However, the treatment liquid can get on the ground around the plants, and the evaporating liquid can be carried by the wind into the environment. In addition, none of these devices can cut and process vegetation in a non-horizontal position, for example, from the end of an articulated boom.

In US patent Mo. 2,878,633, publ. 03/24/59, by Mullen, and US Patent Mo. 3,090,187, publ. 05/21/63, by Livingston, described rotary lawn mowers equipped with a device for feeding the treating fluid to the rotating mower blade. Mullen's patent further describes a piping device for feeding the treating fluid into an internal channel located along the axis of the rotating mower shaft and terminating 7/o in an opening in the lower part of the blade. However, the centrifugal force of the rotating blade ejects the processing liquid from the hole in the form of drops. The Livingstone patent also describes a longitudinal groove in the leading edge of the blade to feed the processing fluid to the lower part of the blade tip. Thanks to this, the processing liquid is supplied directly to the freshly cut stem of the plant. However, the switchgear of the Livingston mower is open to the atmosphere. Thus, the processing liquid can spill onto the ground or /5 Evaporate and be carried by the wind to the surrounding areas.

In US patent Mo. 4,926,622, publ. 05/22/90, the author of Makka, described a rotary cutter for clearing bushes and an applicator for applying herbicides. The cutter includes a plurality of cutting blades, and the applicator includes a device for feeding the herbicide to the cutting blades so that the herbicide is fed into the shrub as it is cut by the rotating blades. In one version of the appliqué, in addition, it includes a closed 2o pipeline for transferring the processing liquid from the container installed on top of the body of the rotary cutter to the outlet next to the blade. The pipeline includes an elongated tube attached to the outer surface of the rotating blade so that the outlet is in fluid communication with the axial shaft of the rotary cutter. However, the pipe can crack or bend when the blade bends longitudinally, and can suffer punctures or tears if the blade suddenly hits a stationary rock or stump. with

As can be seen from the shortcomings of the above-described rotary mowers, for cutting vegetation and treating the cut vegetation with a special liquid, a device is needed, in which the processing liquid does not spread to i) the surrounding land or the atmosphere. According to this, the task of this invention is to create a device for cutting vegetation with simultaneous processing of stems of cut vegetation that remained without spreading the processing liquid to the surrounding ground or into the atmosphere. The next and more specific task of the invention consists in creating a device for cutting and simultaneously processing the stems of the trimmed vegetation that remains, which includes a device for supplying the processing liquid to the lower part of the cutting blade in such a way that the flow of the processing liquid continuously flows to the plant stems that remained.

The next and more specific task of the invention consists in the creation of a device for cutting and simultaneous processing of stems of cut vegetation remaining by introducing the processing liquid into the evaporative system of plants.

The next task of the invention is to create a device for cutting vegetation and simultaneously processing the remaining stalks of cut vegetation, suitable for use in any direction, in particular, at any deviation from the horizontal, including the vertical. "

The next task of the invention is to create a device for cutting vegetation and simultaneous processing of vegetation, which include a removable, hermetically sealed liquid reservoir for the processing liquid.

The next and more specific task of the invention consists in creating a device for cutting and simultaneously;" treatment of vegetation with a special liquid that minimizes spillage, unproductive consumption and spoilage of the processing liquid.

The next task of the invention is to create a device for cutting vegetation and simultaneously

Ge" application of a strictly defined amount of processing liquid on the stems of the pruned plants that remained.

The next and more specific task of the invention consists in the creation of a device for cutting and simultaneous processing of vegetation, which include flow control means for accurate measurement of the amount of processing liquid supplied to the cutting blade.

The next and more specific task of the invention is to create a device for cutting and simultaneously processing vegetation, which include a device for determining the speed of movement of the mower relative to the ground, so that the desired amount of processing liquid is applied to the stems of the remaining cut plants.

The next task of the invention consists in the creation of a device for recording the location of the device and the volume of the processing liquid, which is distributed along the lines of exclusion of power transmission lines and median sections and in UZbichchi of the highway.

The invention consists in a device for cutting vegetation and simultaneous treatment of stems of cut plants, which (F, remained) with processing liquids, such as growth regulators, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, adjuvants, surface-active or biological agents, preferably on water-based. The treatment fluid is applied without spreading, such as spraying the treatment substance onto the surrounding soil or into the atmosphere. Instead, the treatment fluid is fed from a hermetically sealed fluid reservoir through a fluid conduit to the bottom of the cutting blade in a continuous flow. Thus, the treatment fluid is continuously supplied to the cut ends of the stems left at the time of cutting, so that at least about 75-9595 of the treatment liquid is absorbed directly into the evaporative system of the plants, and almost immediately, which gives the maximum efficiency of the treatment and greatly reduces the need for the treatment liquid, as well as 65 active ingredient.

The device includes a mower, a cutting blade drive for rotating the trimming and processing device, which includes at least one cutting blade assembly rotatably mounted on the blade holder, a container for the processing liquid, a device for measuring the amount of processing liquid supplied to the trimming and processing device, as well as a liquid pipeline for supplying the processing liquid from the container for the liquid to the cutting and processing device.

A lawnmower can be any maneuverable tool for cutting vegetation, moving on or above the ground such as a tool for trimming hedges, trees and orchards. For example, the mower may be a push mower, a conventional electric mower, a horse-driven mower, a tractor-powered mower, a trailed mower (with horizontally rotating blades) 70 or a betwing mower, a harvester, a hydraulic baler , high-speed saw attachment, high-speed secateur attachment, knife blade, multi-disc mower, drum mower, chain mower, or mower head attached to an articulated outrigger. The mower, described here as an example only, is a conventional trailed mower attached to the back of a farm tractor.

The mower preferably includes a generally flat deck having a central opening to accommodate the 7/5 Cutting Blade drive, a pair of generally straight opposing ends, a generally straight front wall, and an arcuate rear wall. At a minimum, a portion of the back wall may include a plurality of short chain lengths to prevent solid pieces, such as rocks, from being thrown from under the mower deck. The mower is equipped with at least one wheel attached to the mower deck to facilitate movement on the ground and to maintain the cutting and processing attachment at the desired height above the ground. A set of 2o Vertical racks are attached to the upper surface of the deck, between which the container for the liquid is held.

The cutting blade drive is attached to the mower deck and includes an oblong drive shaft located inside the central opening of the mower deck. The drive of the cutting blade mainly works from the power take-off box of the tractor that drives the mower. However, the cutting blade drive can be powered by a gasoline engine or a hydraulic motor mounted on top of the mower deck. In the preferred embodiment, a bevel gear is installed at one end of the drive shaft for engagement with the shaft of the rotating selection box of tractor power. The trimming and processing device is attached to the other end of i) the drive shaft. The cutting blade drive independently rotates the cutting blade drive drive shaft, which in turn rotates the blade holder and at least one cutting blade assembly of the trimming and processing device. The drive shaft of the drive of the cutting blade internally contains a pipeline for the through-flow of fluid so that the drive shaft of the drive of the cutting blade is in fluid connection with the pumping device and the trimming and processing device. at

The trimming and processing device is attached to the cutting blade drive drive shaft directly at the lower surface of the mower deck and includes at least one cutting blade assembly rotatably mounted on the blade holder. To fasten at least one node, I cut what « from 5 blade holder, the blade holder can have any shape. In the preferred embodiment, the blade holder is an oblong plate having a central hole for placing the cutting blade drive in it and at least one hole at the end of the plate for placing the cutting blade assembly in it. Between the central hole and the hole at the end of the plate there is a longitudinal liquid pipeline. The liquid pipeline ensures the passage of liquid through, so that the drive shaft of the cutting blade drive is in fluid connection with the cutting blade assembly. In another preferred option, the blade holder is usually a flat disc, on which a set of, preferably four, orthogonally placed cutting blade assemblies are installed.

At the end of the blade holder, at least one cutting blade assembly is installed with the possibility of rotation. Node ;" of the cutting blade is preferably installed at each of the opposite ends of the blade holder. The cutting blade assembly includes a cutting blade shaft and a cutting blade sleeve fixed to the cutting blade shaft. The cutting blade sleeve carries the cutting blade outwardly from it. The lower part of the bushing is made in the shape of a saucer, so that if the bushing hits an obstacle on the ground in the course of the cutting blade, the bushing passes through the obstacle without transmitting the impact to the cutting blade. The front edge of the cutting blade is beveled to form a sharp cutting edge. The cutting blade assembly internally has a fluid conduit that provides through-through fluid passage, so that the fluid conduit located in the blade holder is in fluid connection with the lower part of the cutting blade. o The fluid container is secured between the uprights mounted on top of the mower deck. c The fluid container includes at least one substantially hollow, hermetically sealed fluid reservoir containing the processing fluid. In a preferred embodiment, the container includes a plurality of cross-stacked, removable, fluid reservoirs that are connected. Each tank is made of UV-resistant material such as polyurethane, polyethylene, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. (F, Each tank contains inlet and outlet openings which connect to the encompassing parts of the double-ca shut-off fitting. The encompassing part of the fitting connects to the encompassing part of the fitting and allows the flow of process fluid from the upper tank to the lower tank, and from the the lower - to the adapter fitting adjacent to the pumping device. A flexible liquid pipe connects the outlet of each upper tank to the inlet of the next lower tank. A flexible liquid pipe, coming from the outlet of the lowest tank, passes through the pumping device and from 'connects to a fitting on the cutting blade drive housing. Thus, the fluid reservoir is in fluid communication with the cutting blade drive. The encompassing portion of the fitting fitting into the encompassing portion 65 of the fitting in the inlet of the uppermost tank mates with a flow filter and a vent valve cap for connecting liquid tanks to the surroundings that atmosphere The filter prevents pebbles, insects, etc. from entering the system, but does not limit the supply of ambient air.

The tanks are packaged so that the lowest tank is automatically filled with treatment fluid from the upper tanks as the treatment fluid is applied to the vegetation being trimmed.

Tanks in any quantity are filled in another place, so liquid spillage at the workplace where it can affect the worker, contaminate the surrounding soil or the underground water supply system is excluded. The tanks are hermetically sealed, so that the processing liquid cannot spoil or lose its properties. Pre-filled tanks in a predetermined quantity can be stacked so that the user does not have to interrupt trimming and processing to refill the tanks or replace 7/0 empty tanks. Empty tanks are returned to the appropriate service for refilling, without the need for on-site rinsing, and are never disposed of in municipal landfills.

Flow control devices measure the amount of processing fluid supplied by the pump device to the lower part of the cutting blade. The flow control means include a control unit electrically connected to a ground speed sensing device. The device for determining the speed relative to the ground /5 Includes a sensitive element for determining the angular speed of the rear wheel of the tractor and the speed of the mower, which is calculated from it. In the preferred embodiment, the device for determining the speed is located at each of the rear wheels of the tractor, then the angular speed of the rear wheels is averaged and multiplied by a correction factor, in order to more accurately calculate the speed of the tractor relative to the ground. The control unit is also electrically connected to a DC stepper motor that drives the pumping device so that the desired amount of treatment fluid is applied to the vegetation in the area being treated.

The flow control means provide a continuous flow of fluid so that the fluid reservoir is in fluid communication with the cutting blade assembly of the cutting and processing device. The flow control means includes a flexible tube laid between the outlet of the lowermost fluid reservoir and the fluid fitting on the cutting blade drive housing. The fluid passage is provided by the cutting blade drive fluid pipe, the blade holder and the cutting blade assembly. Thus, the piping system provides a through passage for supplying the processing liquid to the lower part of the cutting blade, so that i) the processing liquid continuously flows to the stems of the plants remaining at the time of their cutting.

A detailed description of the preferred implementation options

Figures 1 and 2 show a device, marked with the general position 40, for cutting vegetation and simultaneously treating the stems of the cut plants that remain with a special liquid. Treatment liquid can be any liquid applied to vegetation, in particular, a growth regulator, herbicide, pesticide, fungicide, fertilizer or biological agent, depending on the desired result. and)

The processing liquid is preferably water-based. However, the base of the processing liquid can be any substance that mixes with the processing liquid to form a non-viscous fluid. The device 40 supplies the processing liquid to the lower part of the cutting blade, so that the flow of the processing liquid is constantly supplied to the stem of the cut plants that remain at the time of their cutting. It was discovered that the following physical phenomenon occurs when plants are cut. The remaining liquid near the cut end of the stem is drawn into the evaporative system of the plant almost immediately and migrates through the evaporative system into the root system of the plant. This phenomenon was named and is referred to here as the "Burch effect".

The discovery of the Burch effect led to the development of a device and a method called here the "VOXN MET" system

VGAOEtm" ("moistened Burch blade system"), which take advantage of the Burch effect to minimize "the amount of processing liquid required for processing vegetation and to maximize processing efficiency.

In particular, the "wetted Burch blade" system does not use the spreading of the treating fluid, such as spraying or treating and spreading the treated cut residues over the surrounding land with wind blowing. At least about 75-95956 of the processing liquid, which constantly enters the plants at the time of their cutting, "is absorbed into the evaporative system of the stems of the remaining plants. Thus, 8 seconds of unproductive flow of liquid, accidental spillage of liquid on other plants, as well as pollution of the surrounding soil and underground water system are practically excluded. The "wetted Burch blade" system may be configured to be convenient for use with any device 40 having at least one cutting blade and means for supplying a continuous flow of processing fluid to the underside of the cutting blade. For example, the device 40 can be a push mower, a conventional electric lawn mower, a horse-driven lawn mower, a tractor-powered lawn mower, a trailed mower (with horizontally rotating blades), or a betwing mower, a harvester, a hydraulic sc machine, high-speed saw attachment, high-speed secateur attachment, disc mower, multi-disc mower, drum mower, chain mower, or a mower head attached to an articulated outrigger, unless the mower is equipped with suitable means for supplying a continuous flow of processing fluid to the cut In addition to cutting and processing plants along right-of-way and median strips and highway shoulders, there are a large number of other vegetation care tasks, such as agricultural, turf, ornamental, forestry and water management, where the use of a non-spraying device and method of cutting and processing vegetation useful, profitable, etc ractic, including the use of biological agents that are introduced directly into the internal evaporation system of plants in order to reduce the probability of the substance entering the environment and increase its effectiveness. iF) For the sake of clarity, Fig. 1 presents a three-dimensional image of an electric lawnmower 41, equipped with a "moistened Burch blade" system. Fig. 2 is a three-dimensional view of a trailed mower 42 equipped with a "wetted Burch blade" system and attached to a tractor 43. The trailed mower 42 is shown here only to illustrate preferred variants of the "wetted Burch blade" system. As indicated above, the "wetted Burch blade" system can be used with any device 40 to cut vegetation and simultaneously treat the trimmed vegetation with a treatment liquid, as well as for many other vegetation care tasks.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the main components of the "wetted Burch blade" system. Preferably, the trailed mower 42 is powered by a conventional PTO 44 of the tractor 43. The PTO 44 is connected to the cutting blade drive 60, which drives the cutting and processing device 90. The fluid container 130 contains a plurality of processing fluids and tightly closed tanks, as described above. The pumping device 150 pumps the processing fluid from the fluid reservoir 130 through the cutting blade drive 60 to the trimming and processing device 90. A flow control means 160 may be installed to measure the amount of processing fluid that is supplied by the pumping device 150 to the trimming and processing device 90. Piping device 190 provides a through passage for the supply of processing fluid from the fluid container 130 to the trimming and processing device 90. The conduit is sufficiently small in diameter so that the passage is constantly filled with processing fluid regardless of the speed of the mower relative to the ground under normal operating conditions. Thus, the piping device 190 provides a continuous flow of treatment liquid at a varying specific flow rate, thereby applying a constant volume of treatment liquid to the treated area, usually measured in liters/ha, while the liquid passage remains always filled . In particular, the means of regulating the flow provide a continuous flow of the processing liquid to the treated area in an amount less than 300 ml/ha, preferably 12-300 ml/ha. Such a low consumption of the processing liquid is achieved due to the Burch effect and cannot be achieved with the help of any other known liquid processing systems /5 VOslin.

Fig.4 is an enlarged three-dimensional image of the trailed mower 42. The trailed mower 42 can be any trailed mower. The trailed mower 42, which is shown in the picture, is a model A-72 manufactured by AIato Ipdyzig! of Zediup, Texas, modified for equipment with a "moistened blade" system

Burcha". The cutting blade drive 60 of the trailed mower 42 receives power from the power take-off box 44 of the tractor 43. The power take-off box 44 may include a drive shaft (not shown) that rotates in connection with the cutting blade drive 60, as will be described below , to rotate the trimming and processing device 90 at a cutting blade end speed of about 3600 to 5700 m/min.Thus, each cutting blade of the mower 42 can reach a speed of about 320 km per hour.

The trailed mower 42 includes a mower deck 50, to which is attached the drive of the cutting blade 60 and the housing of the cutting and processing device 90. The container for the liquid 130 and the pumping device 150 are preferably installed on the deck of the mower 50, but can also be installed on the tractor 43. Means flow control 160 i) and piping system 190 are mounted on the deck of the mower 50 and, if necessary, on the tractor 43. One end of the coupling system 45 is attached to the deck of the mower 50 and the other end to the tractor 43 so that the tractor can drive the mower 42 followed. The mower deck 50 can be of any size and shape necessary to accommodate the blade drive 60 and the cutting and processing device housing 90. As shown in the figure, the mower deck 50 includes a generally flat horizontal upper surface 51, a generally flat horizontal lower surface 52 opposite the upper surface 51, a pair of opposite, usually flat, end faces 53 extending vertically downward from the upper surface 51, a generally flat front wall 54 extending vertically downward from the upper surface 51, and an arched rear wall 55 extending vertically down from the upper surface 51. The horizontal lower surface 52 and the vertically arranged end faces 53, the front wall 54 and the rear wall 55 form a continuous housing that encloses the trimming and processing device 90. The rear wall 55 preferably includes a plurality of protective chains 56 to prevent ejection from -under the mower large objects, such as stones, backwards. A second set of safety chains 56 are suspended from the lower surface 52 to prevent large objects from being thrown forward from under the mower. in c The deck of the mower 50 has a central opening 57 to accommodate the drive of the cutting blade 60, as will be described later. At least one, and preferably two wheels 58 are attached to the upper surface 51 of the deck of the mower 50 for support of the cutting blades of the mower 42 at a comfortable height above the ground. The wheels 58 are preferably adjustable so that the elevation of the mower deck 50 and thus the distance from the cutting blades to the ground can be varied. Deck

Mower 50, as previously described, is a conventional trailed mower deck and can be replaced with any

Another deck adapted for installation of the drive of the cutting blades 60 and the body of the trimming and processing device 90. The drive of the cutting blades 60 is attached to the upper surface 51 of the deck of the mower 50 at its central opening 57. o On the upper surface 51 of the deck of the mower 50 can be installed power device, such as a gasoline engine or a hydraulic motor, to power the drive 60. However, as previously described, the drive 60 is preferably powered by the power take-off box 44 of the tractor 43. Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the drive of the cutting blade 60 of the trailed mower 42. The drive 60 includes a bevel gear 61 for engagement with a drive gear (not shown) located at the end of the drive shaft of the power take-off box 44, which rotates. The bevel gear 61, in turn, transmits the torque from the rotating PTO drive shaft 44 to the drive shaft 62 rotatably mounted in the central opening 57 of the mower deck 50.

The drive shaft 62 rotates at a speed determined by the number of revolutions per minute of rotation of the drive

F) the shaft of the power take-off box 44 (or the hydraulic motor) and the gear ratio of the drive gear to the bevel gear 61 (or the gear ratio of the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor).

The housing of the drive of the cutting blades 63 is attached with the help of small bolts 64 to the I-beam of rigidity 65 fixed on the upper surface 51 of the deck of the mower 50. The housing of the drive of the cutting blades 63 is provided with a lower ball bearing 66 and an upper ball bearing 67 located inside the central hole 57, which provide free rotation of the drive shaft 62. The upper end 68 of the drive shaft 62 has an external thread to screw in the hex nut 69, with which the bevel gear 61 is fixed.

The lower end 68 of the drive shaft 62 also has an external thread for screwing the hex nut 71 to which the trimming and processing device 90 is attached, as will be described later. The cutting blade drive 60, as previously described, is a conventional mower drive and may be replaced by any other conventional drive adapted to transmit torque to the rotating drive shaft 62 to actuate the trimming and processing attachment 90.

Most importantly, the hole 72 formed in the base 73 of the blade drive housing 63 is sectioned and threaded for the screwing of a fluid tight fitting 74. The fitting 74 is adapted for fluid communication with the fluid container 130, as will be described below. A circular flange 75 is attached to the upper side of the base 73 of the housing 63 with bolts 64. The flange 75 includes a middle wall 76, in which a pocket 77 is made all around. In the upper surface of the flange 75, a well 78 is drilled opposite the hole 72 in the housing 63. The well 78 ends in a radial the channel 79 made in the flange 75. The channel 79 at one end /o is closed by a screw without a head, which is hermetically screwed, and continues inside the flange to the pocket 77.

The first radial channel 81 is made in the drive shaft 62 next to the pocket 77 of the flange 75. Round upper and lower gaskets 82, such as Redega! Mods! Ragi Mo. 62-85-8, form a hermetic seal between the pocket 77 and the outer surface of the drive shaft 62, so that the channel 79 of the flange 75 is in through fluid connection with the channel 81 of the drive shaft 62. The channel 81 passes inside and ends in the longitudinal 7/5 axial channel 83, made in the drive shaft 62 and closed by a screw without a head 84, which is hermetically screwed. The second radial channel 85, made in the drive shaft 62, exits from the axial channel 83 for connection with the trimming and processing device 90, as will be described later. The screw 84 is protected, for example, by means of a countersink, as shown in the figure, from hitting stationary obstacles and is removable, which makes it possible to clean the axial channel 83.

Fig. 7 is a vertical projection and partial section, and Fig. 8 is a top view of the trimming and processing device 90 of the trailed mower 42. The trimming and processing device 90 includes a blade holder 92 and at least one cutting blade assembly 100. Preferably, as shown in the figures, the trimming and processing device 90 includes a pair of radially opposite cutting blade assemblies 100. The blade holder 92 preferably includes an upper half 91 and a reverse, or mirror, lower half 93, hermetically sealed to the upper half. The lower half 93 has a plurality of threaded holes for screwing a plurality of countersunk hex head bolts attaching the upper half 91 to the lower half 93. i)

A suitable seal (not shown) can be used to seal the upper half 91 and the lower half 93 together. In the center of the blade holder 92, a central hole 94 is made, through which the drive shaft 62 of the drive of the cutting blade 60 passes. The blade holder 92 also has a hole 95 through which at least one node of the cutting blade 100 passes, next to the edge of the holder far from the center blades

As can best be seen from Fig. 5, the lower end 86 of the drive shaft 62, which enters the central hole 94 of the blade holder 92, has an external screw thread. The central hole 94 of the blade holder 92 has preferably an internal thread into which the lower threaded end 86 of the drive shaft 62 is screwed, so that the blade holder is securely attached to the drive of the cutting blade 60. Between the shoulder 88, made on the shaft, and the upper "

A circular spacer 87 is mounted with the blade holder half 91 to separate the blade holder from the lower surface 52 of the mower deck 50. The spacer 87 is made of a hard, rigid metal such as 5160 steel, and the blade holder is made of a softer, more flexible metal. with a purpose that will be described later. The counter washer and hex lock nut 89 are screwed onto the lower end 86 of the drive shaft 62 to rigidly fix the spacer 87 and the blade holder 92 to the shoulder strap 88.

In the upper half 91 and lower half 93 of the blade holder 92, a liquid channel 96 (Fig. 5, b) is made, which runs outward from the central hole 94 in the direction of the hole 95. The first ring pocket 97 is made in the middle part of the central hole 94 along with the second annular channel 85 of the drive shaft 62, so that ;" the chute 96 is in through fluid communication with the annular channel 85 as the shaft rotates the trimming and processing device 90. The chute 96 terminates in a second annular pocket 98 (FIG. 9) made in the middle of the opening 95 so that the blade holder 92 is in through fluid connection with each of the nodes

Ge» cutting blades 100.

As shown in Fig. 9, the cutting blade assembly 100 includes a shaft 102 rotatably placed in a hole 95 so that the cutting blade assembly can rotate relative to the blade holder 92 if the cutting blade 105 hits a stationary obstacle, for example, a stone. A hexagonal lock nut is screwed onto the upper end 101 of the shaft 102, which provides the possibility of removing and replacing the sleeve of the cutting blade 104 installed on the blade holder and 92, as will be described later. The lower end 103 of the shaft 102 has an external screw thread for screwing the bushing of the cutting blade 104 onto it. The bushing of the cutting blade 104 has a thread, preferably an internal thread, for screwing onto the screw thread of the lower end 103 of the shaft 102, so that the bushing of the cutting blade 104 is rigidly attached to cutting blade assembly shaft.

The lower ball bearing 106 and the upper ball bearing 107 are press-fitted into the hole 95 of the blade holder 92, allowing rotation of the shaft 102 and thus the cutting blade assembly 100. Upper

F) the boss 108 is welded to the upper half 91 of the blade holder 92, and the lower boss 109 is welded to the lower half 93 of the blade holder 92 to fix the upper and lower bearings in the hole 95. The assembly of the cutting blade 100, as described earlier, is a conventional assembly of the cutting the blades of the trailed mower and can be replaced by any cutting blade unit adapted to install at least one cutting blade 105 on the blade holder 92 for cutting vegetation and treating trimmed plants with a special liquid.

A radial channel 110 is made in the shaft 102 next to the annular pocket 98 of the blade holder 92. Round upper and lower gaskets 82, such as Redega! Mods! Ragi Mo. 62-85-8, form a hermetic seal between the pocket 98 and the outer surface of the shaft 102, so that the radial channel 110 of the shaft is in through fluid connection 65 with the chute 96 of the blade holder 92. The radial channel 110 passes inward and ends in the longitudinal axial channel 111, made in the shaft 102 and closed with a hermetic plug 112, which is welded to the lower surface of the sleeve of the cutting blade 104. The plug 112 has a step that creates a liquid reservoir between the half of the lower surface of the lower end 103 of the shaft 102 and the half of the upper surface of the plug.

The channel 113 is made in the sleeve of the cutting blade 104 and is hermetically closed by a screw without a head 114 on the side opposite to the cutting blade 105. The channel 113 passes outward from the liquid reservoir in the direction of the cutting blade 105 and ends at a small gap 115 between the sleeve of the cutting blade 104 and the lower surface 116 cutting blades. The gap 115 preferably has a width in the range of 0.6-2.5 cm, and more preferably about 1.2 cm. It was found that the width of the gap 115 is important for the operation of the "wetted Burch blade" system. If the gap 115 is very wide (ie, wider than 2.5 cm), then there is insufficient capillary 7/0 attraction of the processing fluid to the lower surface 116 of the cutting blade 105 to maintain a continuous flow of the processing fluid. If the gap 115 is very narrow (i.e., narrower than 0O,bsm), then the drops of processing fluid exiting the channel 113 are not thinned, and capillary attraction may not be sufficient to maintain a continuous flow of the processing fluid on the lower surface 116 of the cutting blade 105. Therefore the processing liquid can spill out and contaminate the surrounding soil and underground water system. The channel 113 can also be equipped with a screw thread to give a small swirl to the stream of processing liquid coming out of the channel. It is believed that the swirling of the jet improves the capillary attraction of the continuous flow of the processing fluid to the lower surface of the cutting blade by preventing the radial spread of the caps in the gap 115.

Fig. 11 is a vertical projection and a partial section, and Fig. 12 is a top view of an alternative version of the trimming and processing device 90 of the trailed mower 42. The trimming and processing device 90 includes a disk blade holder 122 and four orthogonally located cutting blade assemblies 100. The disc blade holder 120 preferably includes an upper half 121 attached to a lower half 123, as previously described and shown in partial section of Fig.11. However, above the upper surface of the disk blade holder 122 can be located a second radial channel, made in the drive shaft 62 sch about for communication with the pipeline 124, located between the second radial channel and the axial channel 111 of the shaft 102, described earlier in the manner, as shown in Fig. 13 . When the conduit 124, or any other i) fluid conduit is placed above the disc blade holder 122 and under the mower deck 50, a circular shield 125 is preferably suspended vertically downward from the lower surface 52 of the mower deck to prevent impact and damage to the conduit 124 by large objects such as stones Fig. 14 is a three-dimensional image of the liquid container 130 of the trailed mower 42. The liquid container 130 includes at least one liquid tank 132, called here R O-TNKO SE I tm Burcha, made of a material resistant to ultraviolet radiation, such as polyurethane, polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. Preferably, as shown in the figure, the fluid container 130 includes a plurality of reservoirs. tm 132, which are removably stacked and supported on the upper surface 51 of the mower deck 50 between the racks 59. The horizontal movement of the tanks 132 is limited by the racks 59, and the vertical movement of the tanks 132 can be limited by a belt (not shown).

The REGO-TNKIO SEIIYitm 132 tank can be filled with processing fluid at another location and then delivered to the work site to prevent the possibility of fluid spillage and environmental contamination at the point of use. The reservoirs 132 may also be filled under vacuum and hermetically sealed 70 to preserve the properties of the liquid. Thus, R O-TNKO SE IIR tm tanks are an environmentally safe and effective means of providing the mower 42 with processing liquid. It should be noted that the fluid container 130 may contain one or more Burch E'O-TNKI SEII tm tanks filled with processing fluid and a separate fluid tank containing an inert solution (eg, water) for mixing with the processing fluid. Preferably, the treatment fluid and the inert solution are mixed, for example, in an injection 45 mixing chamber at the workplace during use. Thus, the concentration of the mixture can (2) vary, in which case it is possible to keep in the warehouse and transport to the workplace a smaller number of R O-TNKY SE I m tanks,

Fig. 15 is a three-dimensional image, Fig. 1b6 is a side view, and Fig. 17 is a view from the end of the tank about EGO-TNK SE zm 132 of the liquid container 130 of the trailed mower 42. Each tank 132 includes an upper

Ha 20 wall 133, side walls 134, front end wall 135, rear end wall 136 and bottom wall 137. Each tank 132 has an inlet opening 138 and an outlet opening 139. As shown in Fig. 18, each inlet opening 138 so contains a covering part 140 double shut-off fitting 141 such as Ragkeg ROI U-TITE Ye Ritsipda Ra

Mo. 398RO manufactured by RagKeg Nappiip Sogrogayop, Otsego, Michigan, corresponding to the part 142 covered by the fitting. The fitting part 142, which is covered, includes a spring-loaded clamp lever, so that the fitting 141 can be easily disconnected to replace the empty tank EGO-TNVO SEII tm 132. The first segment of flexible pipe

GF) departs from the outside of the lowermost tank 132 and is connected to the second segment of the flexible pipe with the help of the Ragkeg ROI MU-TITEF transition fitting through the wall of the housing of the pumping device 150. The second segment of the flexible pipe passes through the pumping device 150 and ends at the fitting installed on the housing 63 of the drive of the cutting blade 60. 60 As shown in Fig. 17, the passage filter and the cap of the ventilation valve 145 ensure the inflow of ambient air into the tank 132, so that there is no partial rarefaction in it, preventing the flow of the processing liquid when it is pumped out of the tank by a pumping device . In addition, each tank

EGO-TNKI SE | tm 132 has a handle 142 located on the front end wall 135 and rear end wall 136 to facilitate the transfer of filled tanks. As shown in Fig. 14 and 16, the lower wall 137 of the reservoir 132 includes a guide 152 and soles 154. The guide 152 slides along the groove 153 of the upper wall

133 of the lower tank 132 and thus practically eliminates lateral displacement of stacked tanks

EGO-TNKI SE | tm 132. In addition, the soles 154 fit into the recesses 124 on the upper surface 133, which minimizes the relative movement of adjacent tanks 132.

If a small area is to be treated, and therefore a relatively small amount of treatment liquid is needed to apply to the trimmed plants, you can use a separate tank RGO-TNKO SE tm 132. A separate tank 132 can also be used in the event that a certain number of tanks must be used on a given area RGO-TNK SEI | m containing the same liquid, or if it is necessary to use different processing liquids on the same area. For example, the first tank of RI O-TNKO) SE I zm, filled with liquid herbicide 70 against dew, can be used for simultaneous application of herbicide against dew on the stems of plants remaining at the time of vegetation cutting. After that, the EGO-TNKO SEII|Y tm tank containing the herbicide can be removed and replaced with a second EGO-TNKO SEII|Yi tm tank containing a disinfectant solution for flushing the pipeline system 190. Then the RGO-TNKO SEII tm tank containing disinfecting solution, can be removed and replaced by the third tank of RIG O-TNKY SE tm, containing liquid 72 fungicide. The height of the cutting blade above the ground is reduced so that the remaining stems can be cut again, and the fungicide is applied to the plants that are cut again.

However, it is preferable to use at least two reservoirs RGO-TNKO SEI|Y tm 132, so that the level of the processing liquid does not fall below the level of the outlet hole 139 of the lowest tank, regardless of the orientation of the cutting blades of the mower relative to the tank RGO-TNKO SE! tm 132, The use of multiple tanks of RHO-TNKIi SEI I tm 132 makes it possible to treat at one time such an area, which would be too large for safe treatment using one tank. In addition, the use of multiple tanks

EGO-TNKI SE I tm 132 enables the processing of a large area at once without the need to repeatedly interrupt the cutting and processing operation to fill one large liquid tank. Instead of this, it is possible to easily remove the upper tanks of the RIG O-TNKI SE | tm 132 and replace with new, pre-filled ones.

The pump device 150 (Fig. 4) pumps the processing liquid from the container for the liquid 130 into the drive of the cutting blades at 60, so that the flow of the processing liquid continuously enters the evaporation system of the stems of the trimmed plants that remained at the time of their cutting. The pumping device 150 includes any type of variable power pump to pump widely varying amounts of treatment fluid depending on the speed of the mower relative to the surface of the ground, as will be described below. However, it is more preferable that the pumping device 150 is a peristaltic pump, for example, manufactured by TAT Epdipeegipud oi Vgapioga, Soppesiisci, which pumps and processing liquid through the pipeline system 190 with the help of compression waves at a pressure of about 0.7n/cm?, which Ha») is produced mechanically by means of a system of rollers that compresses the flexible pipe in which the processing liquid is located. in

Fig. 19 is a three-dimensional image of the main components of the flow control means 160, and Fig. 23 is a block diagram showing the connections of the main components in the flow control means. The flow control means 160 includes a control assembly 162, which is preferably powered by a power source located on the tractor 43, such as a 12-volt battery 161. The control assembly 162 is electrically connected to a ground speed sensing device 164, preferably located on the 0 of the rear axle 163 of the tractor 43 at each wheel 165. As shown in Fig. 20 and 21, the detection device 164 8c includes a cup-shaped flange carrier 166, which has a hole structure due to holes 167 for the entry and projections of the bridge 163. The flange carrier 166 is placed over the outer end of the bridge 163 and passes inward "" so that the radially outwardly projecting flange 168 of the flange carrier 166 abuts an adjustable sensing device 170 attached to the bridge 163. The sensing device 170 is usually located inside

A removable housing (not shown) that protects the sensitive element 171 from solid particles that may hit the

Ge") bridge 163.

The flange 168 is preferably made of ferrous metal and includes a predetermined set of radial teeth 172, which are placed separately from each other along the perimeter of the flange. Sensing element 171 may be any electronic sensing element (e.g., inductive, magnetic, or optical) that produces an electrical signal proportional to the angular velocity of the flange carrier 166 and thus the speed of the wheel 165 of the tractor 43. A sensing element may also be used , which is able to function in a viscous liquid environment, for example, oil in oil; in this case, the sensitive element is installed in the gearbox of the rear axle or in the speedometer cable attached to the rear axle of the tractor. Preferably, a ground speed detection device 164 is attached to each wheel 165 of the tractor 43, and the electrical signal from each detection device enters the control unit 162. The electrical signal corresponding to the largest speed value is selected, or the signals from both speed detection devices 164 are added and

F) are averaged, or the signals from both speed detection devices 164 are added, averaged, and the average value is multiplied by a correction factor, and thus the most accurate value of the speed of the trailed mower 42 relative to the ground is determined. in Fig. 22 is a front view of the adjustment unit 162 manufactured by EZZSO, Ips., Greensboro, North

California, flow control means 160. The control assembly 162 includes a power switch 173 for supplying power to the control assembly 162 from the 12 volt battery 161 of the tractor 43. The switch 173 is preferably a combination of a 24V DC converter 128 and a 24V DC stabilizer. The control unit 162 also includes a programmable operator interface, such as the Miiyrizpi MTA-10 processor bb 174 for processing preliminary data provided by the operator, such as the width of the section of the cut performed by the trimming and processing device 90 and the volume of processing fluid required to be applied to the treated area, as well as electrical signals from speed detection devices 164.

The processor 174 preferably includes an information screen and a keyboard 175 for scrolling through the command line displayed on the screen and for editing preliminary data used by the processor 174 to determine the speed of the mower 42 relative to the ground.

The control unit 162 also includes a toggle switch 176 for turning on the pumping device 150,

There is a bypass toggle switch 177 for bypassing the pumping device, for example, if it is necessary to move the tractor 43 without supplying liquid to the vegetation. In addition, the control unit 162 includes a green light emitting diode (LED) 178, which indicates that the pumping device 150 is turned on and is working (for example, during the movement of the tractor 43, or when the bypass device is engaged to flush the processing fluid from the pipeline system 190 ), and a red DL 179 indicating that the pumping device 150 is on but not working (eg, when the tractor 43 is not moving).

The control unit is also preferably electrically connected to the DC stepper motor 180, which drives the peristaltic pump of the pumping device 150. The processor 174 transmits to the stepper motor 180 an electrical signal proportional to the measured speed of the mower 42 relative to the ground, and the stepper motor 180 drives a high-increment peristaltic pump is activated, so that a regulated amount of treatment liquid is applied to the vegetation by the cutting and processing device 90. The stepper motor 180 is preferably a 250-step linear motor, for example, manufactured by Ipeijidepi Moyope Zuzietv Ips., Brandford,

Connecticut. The output shaft of the stepper motor 180 is attached to the first pulley 181, which drives the second pulley 182 attached to the output shaft of the peristaltic pump of the pumping device 150.

The gear ratio of the first pulley 181 to the second pulley 182 can be any, but preferably 1.0/1.5, so that the maximum speed of the peristaltic pump is not reached.

The control node 162 may also include a global positioning satellite (GPS) transceiver 184 for communication with a remote base via satellite. The receiver-transmitter 184 receives and transmits data regarding the location of the tractor 43 and the mower 42 as the vegetation is treated with the treatment liquid. In this way, a permanent record of the coordinates of the cultivated area in use can be made, i) for example, when considering claims by farmers and landowners adjacent to exclusion strips or highways about the contamination of their land by toxic substances.

In an alternative embodiment, the ground speed sensing device 164 may be mechanically coupled to the pumping device 150. For example, the flange carrier 166 may include a sprocket instead of a flange 168, and the sensing element 171 may be mechanically engaged with the radial teeth 172 gears o to actuate the peristaltic pump of the pumping device 150. The pumping device 150 may be o directly actuated by the sensing element 171 or may be actuated by any type of gearbox that converts the output power of the sensing element so that it does not reach - with5 the maximum speed of the peristaltic pump. co

Piping system 190 provides a through fluid passage between fluid container 130 and trimming and processing device 90. Piping system 190 supplies processing fluid to the lower surface of the cutting blade so that a stream of processing fluid is continuously supplied to the plants as they are cut.

The pipeline system 190 preferably includes a flexible pipe 191, made, for example, of soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which passes from the lowest tank of RGO-TNKO CE tm 132 through the rollers of the peristaltic pump of the pumping device 150 to the sealed fitting 74, which is externally housings 63 of the drive and cutting blades 60. The pipeline system 190 also includes a well 78; radial channel 79 and ring and? pocket 77 made in flange 75; radial channel 81, axial channel 83 and radial channel 85, made in the drive shaft 62; the first annular pocket 97, the liquid chute 96 and the second annular pocket 98, made in the blade holder 92; radial channel 110 and axial channel 111 made in the shaft 102 of the cutting blade assembly 100;

Gee! radial channel 113 made in the sleeve of the cutting blade 104. The pipeline system 190 ends with a gap 115 on the lower surface 116 of the cutting blade. shk It is believed that the continuous flow of processing liquid at the moment of cutting vegetation is of crucial importance for the efficiency of processing. The combination of capillary attraction in the lower part of the cutting blade and the swirling of the processing liquid ensures that the processing liquid will always enter the evaporative system of the plant stems that remain at the time of cutting, regardless of the speed of rotation of the cutting salt blade, the speed of the mower relative to the ground or the orientation of the cutting blade relative to the reservoir EGO-TNKIiI SE | mm,

Thus, all the processing liquid is absorbed into the evaporation system of the plants when they come under the cutting blade.

Fig. 24 is a diagram of the main components of the electric lawn mower shown in Fig. 1. The electric lawn mower 41 preferably includes a fluid container 230, a flow control means 260, and a pumping device 250, conceptually the same as the previously described liquid container 130, a flow control means 160, and a pumping device 150, respectively. The main difference is that the components of the electric lawn mower 41 are scaled to match the size and power of the mower. Additionally, a filter 200, such as a through-line gasoline filter, may be incorporated upstream of the pump device 250 to filter solids from the processing fluid prior to its introduction into the cutting blade drive 210. The cutting blade drive 210 is conceptually the same as the previously described cutting blade drive 60, but also includes collector 220, called here MET VAKltm (moistened beam) Burch.

A typical blade 211 for an electric lawnmower is made of soft metal, has a relatively small thickness and 65 is from 110 to 200 cm in length. Thus, as shown by the dotted line in Fig.24, the blade 211 can bend relative to the drive of the cutting blade 210, so that the tip 212 of the blade 211 can deflect upward when the blade hits a stationary obstacle. Accordingly, if the blade 211 is equipped with a solid fluid pipeline protruding outward from the drive shaft of the cutting blade 210, then the pipeline may deform when the blade bends. Burcha's MET VAKTm allows the use of the "wetted Burcha blade" system on electric lawn mowers with flexible cutting blades.

Fig. 25 is a three-dimensional image of the MUET VAK tm 220 of Burch, attached to the drive of the cutting blade 210 of the electric lawn mower 41, and Fig. 27 is a top view of the central part of the MET VAK tm

Burch, shown in Fig.25. MET VAK m 220 includes a liquid pipeline 221, which is in liquid connection with a container for liquid 230 in the previously described manner. Accordingly, a continuous flow 70 of the processing liquid is supplied to the lower surface of the blade 221 and is continuously applied to the vegetation at the time of its cutting. Fig. 2b6 is a three-dimensional image of an alternative version of the MUET VAK tm 220.

In this variant, the solid liquid pipeline 221 is placed in the longitudinal channel 222, made in the upper plane of the MMET VAESm 220, and welded to the MMET VAKltm 220 in the usual way. In another preferred embodiment, instead of a thin blade 211, a 75 thicker MET VAKlm 220 can be used for appropriate applications.

Fig. 28 and 29 are sections of alternative versions of the drive part of the cutting blade 360 and the part of the trimming and processing device 390 of the mower according to the invention. The processing fluid passes through the cap 310, which covers one end of the drive shaft 320 of the drive of the cutting blade 360. The cap 310 can be any stationary cap that allows the transmission of the processing fluid into the axial channel made in the drive shaft 320, which rotates. However, it is preferable that the cap 310 is a two-section pivot or ball joint. In the variant presented in Fig. 28, the processing liquid is transferred to the blade holder 340 in the previously described manner in accordance with Figs. 11-13. In the variant shown in Fig. 29, the processing liquid is transferred to the blade holder 350 in the previously described manner in accordance with Fig. 11.

Fig. 3O0 is a three-dimensional image of a hydraulic roller-packing machine according to the invention, attached to the front outrigger of a tractor. Roll-packing machines are used in forest and forestry farms and on exclusion zones. The baling machine 400 according to Fig. 30 is a large set of equipment that has sufficient power for felling trees.

Fig. 31 is a three-dimensional image of the high-speed nozzle-saw according to the invention, adapted for use on the hydraulic roll-packaging machine of Fig. 30. Equipped with a high-speed saw head 402, the roller bagging machine of Fig. 31 works like a chain saw, but in this application fluid is delivered to the lower part of the cutting blade, or saw head, before cutting to promote fluid flow directly into the the vascular system of a cultivated plant or tree. "Mr

Fig. 32 is a three-dimensional image of a high-speed secateur nozzle according to the invention, adapted for 32 use on the hydraulic roll-packaging machine of Fig. 30. Equipped with a high-speed scissor attachment 404, the roller bagger of Fig. 32 delivers the treatment liquid to the lower part of the cutting blade, or secator attachment, before cutting, promoting the flow of the liquid directly into the vascular system of the plant or tree being treated. "
