BENJAMIN w. REMY AND NoAHr-r. REMY, or '.BRooKvILLn, INDIANA,
Letters Patent No, 113,205, dated March 28, 1871.
IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-DRILLS.
To all whom z't ma/y concern z `Be it known that we, BENJAMIN W. REMY and N OAH T. REMY, of Brookville, in the vcounty of Franklin and in the State of Indiana, have vinvented certain new andL useful Improvements iu- Corn-Drills; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had' to the accompanying drawing .and to the Iletters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specilication. l
The nature of our invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a corn-drill, as will be hereinafter more fully lset forth.'
,In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appextains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figurel is a side elevation, and
Figure 2, a plan view of our machine.
Figure 3 is a transverse vertical section Aof the box 'containing the corn and fertilizer. Y
A represents the axle, withV a wheel, B, 'at each end.
C-is a metallic frame, of the peculiar construction shown in iig. 2'; provided'on each side, nearv the rear end, with a block, D, which is forked at its lower end, and placed over the axle A. A pin, a, is then passed through the prongs of said block to prevent it from 'coming oli".
The seat E is supported upon the rear end ,of the 4frame C.
In the front end of the` frame the tongue G is pivoted, said tongue being, b'y means vof a stirrup, H,A
connected with a beam, I, underneath, upon which beam the-double-tree J is placed'.
The stirrup H passes around and is pivoted on the beam I, while itsV ends extend upward, one on each side of the tongue, and pivoted vby a bolt passingthrough the same.
The ends of the stirrup H are provided with several'holes, so that it can be moved, when necessary,
to change the distance between the tongue and the beam underneath.
At a suitable point on the under side of the beam I is secured the furrow-plow K, and shortly in rear thereof the covering-plows L L.
The rear end of the beam Ijs, by means .of two connecting-rods l b, connected with a leve1M, which is in the shape of a bail, through the ends of which the axle A passes. The arms of this bail orlever are curved forward and then upward, and the rods b b are pivoted to the bail just above where it turns upward.
A 'jointed brace, N, connects the lever YM with a bolt, e, which passes through the frame 0, 'and upon which is hung a stirrup, O, said stirrup being firmly secured to the beam I. Thisbeam is thus pivotedA by means of the stirrup 0, and its ends supported by the stirrup H and rods b b, as above mentioned.
It will then readily be seen that, by pushing theA lever M forward, the plows arc lowered and the brace N bent; then, by straightening said brace and raising the lever the plows are raised out ofthe ground.
- On thev bolt e,'within the frame G, is pivoted a plat# form, P, at the rear end of which is mounted a shaft, p
d, provided with a pinion, f, at one end.
This pinion rests upon a cog-wheel, R, mounted on the" axle A, so that, when the machine vis in motion,
the shaft d will have a rotary motion.
On thel platform P is placed a box, S divided into two compartments by means of a `longitudinal parti-` tion, h. One of these compartments is for corn yand the other for lime or other fertilizer.
In the corn-compartment is a slide, 7c, provided with `two holes for dropping corn, and a brush, fi, standing upright, under which the corn passes to the tube m when the slide is in motion.
In the other compartment is a slide, k', vmved by the same power and at the same time, which passes out the lime or.` other fertiiizer. This sliderhasV but one hole, so that the lime gets a little the start of the corn so as to reach the ground as soon as thefcorn. But a small quantity is required if' dropped with the corn; but the quantity can be changed with different holes in the slide.
A tube, m, leads from each of said compartmentsrear end of theplatform P high enough to throw the pinion f out of gear with the cog-wheel It, and thus stop the working of the drill. Having thus fully described our invention,
What we claim as new, and desire to secureby v Letters Patent, is
l. The arrangement of the axle A, wheels B B,
2. The beam I carrying the furrowplow K and covering-plows L L, and supported .by the pivoted stirrup O, adjustable stirrup H, and rods h b, substantiallyas and for 4the purposes hereinset forth.
3. The lever M, placed on the axle A, and provided with the jointed brace N and rod t, and connected, by the rods b b, with`the beam I, for the purpose of raising the plows out of the ground, and also for throwing the drill mechanism out of gear, substantially as herein set forth. 4. 'The combination and arrangement of the platform P, carryingV the entire drill mechanism, and hinged or pivoted at its front end, while. the rear end is vprovided with shaft d andpiniou f, said pinion'resting upon the cog-wheel R onthe axle A, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
5. The brush eonneoted tothe end of'a spring,
and suspended in thebox S, over the slide, 4and oper ated substantially as set forth.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands this 14th day oi' January,
IBENJAMIIQV W. REMY. NOAH .'l. REMY.
