IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-PLANTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 184,354, dated November 14, 1876; application filed I March 25, 1876.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. DYKE, of Greenfield, in the county of Highland and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Corn-Planters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a rear elevation of my corn-planter, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation. of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view thereof, and Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views of my corn-planter.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of an implement for planting and drilling corn, as will be hereinafter more fnllyset forth.
In the annexed drawing, A A represent two wrought-iron beams, connected by a plat form, B, secured on top of them, and having shafts secured between the front ends. The rear ends of the beams A are curved downward, and have the shovel-plows D D secured to their lower ends. A suitable distance above the shovel on each beam A is pivoted an arm, E, and through thefront ends of the two arms passes the axle G, having a wheel,
H, secured upon each end. During the operation of the machine the front end of each arm E rests against an adjustable bar, I, secured to the beam A. By moving these beams or bars I up or down on the beams, the depth at which the plows are to work in the ground is easily regulated.
The front end of each arm E is, by a rod, a, connected with the lower end of a lever, J, which is secured to a rocking shaft, b, running under the front edge of the platform B, and having a lever, K, attached to its inner end. By means of the levers K K the axle G can thus be lowered so as to raise the plows out of the ground.
In the center of the axle G is a crank, 6, connected bya pitman, d, with an arm, f, projecting from a rocking shaft, it, having its hearings in the beams A A. On each end of the rocking shaft h is an arm, k, with headed stud i on its outer end. On this stud is hooked a rod, m, connecting with'the dropper-slide L, working in the corn-box M. This box is provided with a central brush or cutoff, a, and the slide has two dropping-holes, w w. Nis the tube or conductor leading from the bottom of the corn-box downward behind the plow D. It will thus be seen that each revolution of the axle rocks the shaft h back and forth,causing a drop at each half revolution of the axle.
The upper ends of the levers J are forked, and the rods m pass through said forks, so that when the levers K are operated to raise the shovels out of theground, and said levers J thereby placed in a vertical position, they will lift the hooked rods m off from the studs .73, and thus disconnect the droppingslides from the operating mechanism.
For drilling, the slides L are removed, and slides L, with three holes, are substituted, and the position of the pitman cl on the arm f is changed.
On the wheels H are attached markers 19, to show where each hill has been dropped, so that the operator can keep the rows in line.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a corn-planter, the combination of the curved beams A A, pivoted arms E E, carrying the axle G, with wheels H H, and the adjustable gage-bars I I, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of the arms E carrying the axle and wheels, the connecting-rods a, levers J, rocking shaft b, and levers K, all substantially as described.
3. The combination of the rock-shafts b, forked levers J, rods m,'studs z, and slide L, all as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM H. DYKE. Witnesses:
A. V. PATTON, S. O. MURRAY.
