JOSEPH JONES, OF NEWTON TOWNSHIP, GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NEW JE RSEY IMPROVEMENT lN PLANUNG-MACHINES,CONSISTING 0l' A MODE OF ARRANGING THE VlBRATlNG SLIDE BY WHICH THE SEED IS DROPPED, &c.
Specification forming part o'f Leiters Patent No. 2,303, dated Hatcher 1l, 1841.
To all lwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH JONES, ot' Newton township, Gloucester county, State ofNew Jersey, have "invented a new and useful 1mprovement in the Machine for Planting Seeds 4and Grain, which is described as follows, reference. being had tothe annexed drawings of the same, making part of this specification.
Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of the machine through the center of the same. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectionthrough the upper part of the spout, showing thercst. Fig. 4 is a view ot' the slide. Fig. 5 is a top View of-the machine.
Similar letters refer to. corresponding parts in the figures. A
This seed-plaider is in several of its parts constructed like other machines in use for planting seed. The improvements are in those parts, hereinafter particularly dcscribed,which render the machine practicable and useful. It is composed ot'ahorizoutal rectangularframe, A, supported on the axle of a large forward propelli11g-wheel,13, and 011 that of a roller, T, at the rear. This frame contains and supports the several parts ofthe machine, and is made of any convenient size, strength, and material, and from near its rear end rise the handles l), by which the machine is guided.
rllie hopper E, into which the seed to be planted is deposited, is arranged in said frame A directly behind the propelling-wheel B andat the top ot' the standard of theplow F for opening the furrow to receive the seed, which standard and plow are made hollow from top to hottom, forming a spout, (lr, for conducting the seed from the hopper to the furrow, being previously received into an aperture, u, (represented in dotted lines in Fig. 1,) in the horizontal vibrating slide ll, Figs. 1, 2, J3, and 4, the size of said aperture a., Fig. 4, being equal to the bulk ofthe number of grains or seed to be dropped. Said apcrture,when receivingthe grain,'is brought directly over a solid plate, l, one-third the width ofthe spoutG' in the standard L, on which plate the perforated slide H moves, and which prevents the descent ofthe seed until the slide is moved to the right or lelt, which brings the perforation in the slide over the open parts g g'2 of-the spout not covered by theslideI,when the seed drops down the spout G to the furrow, said slide being moved by a heart-wheel, K, fixed on a revolving axle, L. on which there are grooved pulleys M of va-` rious diameters, around which is passed a crossed band, N, which is also carried around agrooved pulley, O, on the axle F of the propelling-wheel B, said slide being moved 'by a connecting-bar, Z, attached to its rear end, the said sliding bar Z moving in rectangular openings in curved standards Q, rising from the frame A, to which they are secured.
, The coverers lt for covering the seed are arranged behind the plow F, and are made adjustable by a screw, S, so that they can be raised or lowered at pleasure.
The roller T, for rolling the seed .and .regulating the depth of the plowing, and for acting as a iulcruln in raising the driving-wheel from the ground, is arranged behind the coverers, and is attached loosely to the frame A by two curved arms, U, connected by a cross-bar, V, from which rises a segment, NV, which passes through a mortisc in the end ot' a horizontal screw-rod, X, passing through the end of the frame on which there is a nut, Y, which draws the segment W, when adjusted, in raising or lowering the roller, firmly against the frame A and holds it securely in the position desired. rlhe roller also serves as a pivot or movablerfuicruin on which to raise and turnv the forward part of the machine in any direction required.
The perforated slide H for receiving the seed is attached to the sliding bar Z (moved bythe heart-wheel K) by a vertical screw, b, so that the slide can be removed at pleasure when its Vplace is to he supplied by another slide for a different kind of seed to be planted, there he ing'various perlbratcd slides for the various kinds of'sced to be planted perforated accord ingly. The one represented in the drawings is designed .for planting corn, and therefore has two perforations, each carrying three grains of corn, one designed to drop the corn at the rear of the platc or rest I and the other in front ot' it, so that as one is dropping the other is filling. The said plate or rest l is raised or lowered by screws d, so as to enlarge or diminishv the opening between it and the bottom of the hopper for the various thicknesses of slides to be used. Brushes c c are arranged at the bottom of the hopper for striking the seed or grain in the apertures of the slide, instead of using` the loweredges of the hopper forthat` purpose, which would ent or bruise the vgrain or seed. The rest-board I is supported by the hanging screws (l d, which screw into female screws i in the frame fof the hopper E. Parallel guides m m are fastened to the under side of the frame j', below the hopper, for guiding the slide H.
Wha-t- I claim as my invention, and which I desire to secure by Letters Patent., is
l. The method of combining the rest-board I with the spout and slide by arranging the resoboard lover the center of the spout G under the slide H, lso as to leave a passage, g g2, at either side of-said hoard for admitting the seed into. the spout on both the forward and backward motion of the slide7 and, in combination with said arrangement, the method of 'adjusting the rest-hoard I by means of the screws d d.
