UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIOE0 NEWTON FOSTER, OF PALMYRA, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HARLAN I). FOSTER, OF TECUMSEI-I, NEBRASKA.
IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON-SEED PLANTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 149,279, dated March 3l, 1874; application filed September 22, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, NEWTON FOSTER, of Palmyra, in the county of Wayne and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Cotton-Seed Planters, of which the following is a specification:
This inventionv consists, in part, in simplifying and cheapenin g the construction of certain portions of -the machine as patented by me on the 11th of February, 1868 5 and also in the application of a smoothing-plate acting in connection with the marker and the guidin g-blade and scrapers, all of which are arranged to precede the covering-roller.
Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is an inverted view of the same. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view of the seed-hopper yoke vor support.
When the machine is tO be used in lumpy or stony ground, the blade B should be provided With a narrow scraper, S, on each side, to clear the surface ofthe ridge. These scraper-s may be detachably connect-ed to the blade, or a plain blade may be substituted for the one having the Scrapers attached, when their use is not required. O is the draft-hook. I allow the Whole front portion of the machine to rest upon the smoothing plate D, Which is made slightly arched, and is provided at each end with suspender-bars E, by which it is held in an inclined position, as shown in Fig. 1. The marker F is rigidly fixed to the center of the plate D, and forms a sort of furrow in which the seed is deposited, and the ordinary coverin g-Win gs may be hung directly in frontof the roller R. The seed-hopper is composed of a sheet-iron drum, G, which is hung in a cast-iron yoke, J. This is made in halves, as shown in Fig. 3,\vl1ich are connected together by bolts through the lugs b, and the projections 'i enter indentations formed in the drum, which is thereby supported. Four lugs, a, are provided, by Which it is bolted to the cross-bars II. TheJ hanger-boxes c, for the drivin g-sh aft ofthe distributing apparatus, are also formed upon the yoke, as shown.
I greatly simplify and cheapen the construction of the roller R by using a fixed shaft. The sheave s is formed With a key, e, upon one side of its hub, which enters a corresponding recess in that head of the roller, Which causes it to turn with the latter. These parts require no mechanical flttin g, eXceptto bore out the sheave s and the opposite head of the roller.
The shaft T may be rigidlyiixed to the frame by means of a staple, or by the use of an ordinary half-box bolted at each end to the side rails of the frame.
What I claim as my invention is- The guiding-blade B and Wings or scrapers S, in combination with the inclined concave smoothing-plate I), opener E, and covering-4 roller R, substantially as and for the puposes set forth.
NEWTON FOSTER.
