JESSE F. WARNER, OF DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA.
IMPROVEMENT IN SEED-PLANTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,550, dated January 5, 1875; application filed July 20, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JEssE F. WARNER, of
Dakota City, in the county of Dakota and in the State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Seed-Planters; and do hereby declare that the following is'a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a seed-planter, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation of my machine. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the seed-box. Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the seed-box, and Fig. 5 is a transverse vertical section of the same.
A represents an ordinary split tongue, to which the arched axle B is secured and braced, said axle having the driving-wheels U G on its ends. On the tongue'A is fastened a crossbar or platform, E, with a slotted standard, a, at each end. On this platform is placed the seed-box D, having in each end, near the bottom, a short shaft, d, upon the outer end of which is a Wheel, G. This Wheelrests upon the circumference of the dri'vingwheel 0, and thus receives its motion from the same, the shaft projecting through the slotted standard. The slotted standards a allow either end of the seed-box D to rise up when. any dirt adheres to the driving-wheels. Inside of the seed-box D, near each end, is formed a box or pocket, 12, through which the shaft d passes, and within said pocket on the shaft is secured a dropping-wheel, f, constructed in polygonal form, with faces thereof inclined to form seedcarrying ribs or projections, as shown in Fig. 5. Between the two pockets is a plate, H, inclined from the center toward both ends, so as to cause the seed to slide down easily toward both. pockets. In the front of the box are two apertures or discharge-openings, e 0, one opposite each pocket I), and on the inside thereof is a slide, it, having an opening, 41. By raising the slides II. the discharge-opening is made smaller and elevated, and by pushing the slide down the discharge-opening is enlarged andlowered, thus regulatingthe amount of seed sown without changing the speed of the wheels or the size of the pockets in which the Wh eels revolve. In other words, the amount of seed sown is regulated without changing the supply from the seed-box to the wheels.
The seed, as it is discharged through the openings e 0, passes through conductors I to the ground.
This seeding device may be applied to a cultivator or any two-wheeled vehicle, or it may be mounted on a frame of its own, as desired.
Having thus fully described my invention,- what I claim as new, ,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination, with a sulky, A B O. of the platform E, secured thereon, and provided with slotted standards at a at its ends, the removable seed-box D, placed on the platform, and provided with shafts d d, and the wheels G G, secured on said shafts, and impinging against the outer periphery of the drivingwheels 0 U, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 3d day of July, 1874.
JESSE F. WARNER.
