ADOLPHUS F. GIBBONEY, OF BELLEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
GRAIN AND GRASS-SEED DISTRIBUTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,407, dated May 23, 1882.
Application filed January 7, 1882. (Model) To all whom it may concern:
Beitknown thatI, ADOLPHUS F. GIBBONEY, of Belleville, in the county of Mifflin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Grain and Grass-Seed Distributer; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a rear elevation with the hopper Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section.
My invention relates to improvements in that class of seedingmachines known as force-feed seeding-machines and it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, a represents a part of the frame of a seeder, to the upper face of which a hopper, b, of the usual construction is secured.
0 represents a seed-cup secured to the lower face of the frame under the throat or lower end of the hopper b. The seed-cup 0 is provided with an opening, d, for the passage of the grain, having a slanting lip or lower edge, 0. One of the sides of the seed-cup 0 is provided with a circular orifice, h, which serves as a bearing in its revolutions for the cut-off or sleeve 2', the latter also being adapted to slide in the bearingh. Thecut-off t'consists of a short hollow cylinder, corrugated on its interior surface, and adapted to engage with and turn the corrugated feed-wheel k, which forms a part of a sleeve, 1, provided with a circumferential groove, 1, journaled in one side of the seed-cup, and a collar, 1 The sleeve 1, of which the feed-wheel It forms a part, is slipped on the shaft m, the cut-off i being also secured to the shaft m. m isastop-pin passing through the shaft m, and extending out on both sides to limit the play of the cut-0E in one direction,
its play in the opposite direction being lim-' ited by a stop secured to the under face of the frame a, against which the inner end of the cut-off abuts in its reciprocations. By this construction, it will be seen, the feed-wheel and cut-off, beingconnected together by the engagement of their corrugation, will revolve,
together in the seed-cup with the shaft m, and at the same time the latter may be slid back and forth by a lever connected therewith, thereby causing the cutoff to slide back and forth on the feed-wheel, and thereby increasing or diminishing the quantity of grain sown as desired. The lower edge or lip, e, of the opening at in the seed-cup 0 for the discharge of the grain is, as before stated, slanting or oblique to the corrugations in the feed-wheel k, whereby as the feed-wheel revolves, causing the force-feed, each of its buckets or cups commences discharging the grain at the lower end of the slanting lip e, and thence upwardly, thus distributing the grain evenly.
The side of the seed-cup c opposite its opening d is provided with an inclined triangular flange, n, for the purpose of guiding the grain from the hopper to the side of the feed-wheel opposite the cut-0E. The guide-flange it also serves, in the revolution of the cylindrical cutoff i, to remove grain from its periphery and deliver itto the feed-wheel. In the distribution of the seed the latter falls from the hopper on one side of the feed-wheel and revolves it, carrying the seed to the slanting lip at the discharge opening of the seed cup, which openingis increased or lessened, as desired, by the cut-off.
What I claim as my invention is 1. The cup 0 and flange n, in combination with the sliding cut-off t, whereby the flange performs the double purpose of guiding the grain and scraping the cut-off, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with the hopper b, seedcup 0, provided'with the guide-flange aand opening d, having a slantinglip, e, sliding shaft m, cylindrical corrugated cut-off 1, fast thereon, and feed-wheel k, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
The above specification of my invention signed by me in the presence of two subscrib ing witnesses.
ADOLPHUS FRANKLIN GIBBONEY.
