Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-PLANTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 135,178, dated January 21, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, SoLoMoN VANNUYS and HEZEKIAH VANNUYS, of Bethel, in the county of Wayne and State of Indiana, have invented certain Improvements in Corn-Planters, of which the following is a specification:
Our invention relates to that class of cornplanters in which reciprocating feed-slides are used; and it consists in placing a spring cutoff above and a spring-bed below the slide so as to prevent the kernels of corn from being crushed or broken in case the cell or pocket of the slide becomes too full.
Figure 1 is a vertical section through ahopper and slide constructed on our plan 5 Fig. 2, a top-plan view of the same; and Fig. 3, a section on the line :0 x.
Arepresents the hopper, which may be made in any of the usual forms. B is the feed-slide, provided with the cell or pocket a, and arranged to slide back and forth in the bottom of the hopper in the usual manner, so as to carry the cell a alternately inside and outside of the same. O is our spring cut-off, consisting of a flat plate bearing on top of the slide, and secured at its outer end to the side of the hopper, so that its inner free end can spring upward. D is our spring-plate, arranged to bearagainst the under side of the slide and form ayielding bottom to the cell or pocket to. The spring is mounted in a recess, 0, in the upper side of the hopper-bottom, and has its outer end secured rigidly in place, so that the end at which the corn is discharged may be depressed.
So long as the corn just fills the cell or pocket the springs remain in contact with the slide, and the parts operate in the usual manner.
When, however, the corn is wedged into the pocket above the face of the slide, the spring 0 is bent upward and the spring D downward, so as to leave a space between them greater than the thickness of the slide, and permit the charge. of corn to passoutward without any of the kernels being crushed or broken.
In the drawing, the slide is shown with a yielding plate or tongue, I, to form one side of the cell, as in the patent granted to J. M. Harrison, January 24, 1871. Although this .arm or tongue enables our arrangement to work in a better manner than it would otherwise do, still it is not considered essential.
By applying our spring-plates we produce a feeding arrangement in which it is impossible to crack or break the corn, and which operates with an ease and smoothness unattainable in those of the ordinary construction.
It is, of course, obvious that the form and arrangement of the parts may be varied as circumstances require or experience dictates without departing from the spirit of our invention; and also that the invention applies to other seeding-machines in which slides are used as well as to corn-planters.
Having thus described'our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure, is-
In combination with the feed-slide of a cornplanter or seeder, the spring-plates G and D, when arranged substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
