HANDk sEED-PLANTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letterslatent No. 287,626, dated October 30, 1883. *y l l Application filed June 30, 1883. (No model.)
in Hand Seed-Planters; and I do declare'the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to vmake anduse-,the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or iigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Figure 1 `of the drawings is a front view.A
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken through line a; x, Fig. 1. through line y fly, Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is also a cross-section taken through line z z, Fig. 2.
This invention has relation to hand cornplanters; and it consistsl in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out inthe claims appended.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, a a are themainwooden blades of the planter, to the outer sides of which, and near their upper ends, are attached the double hoppers b b, each hopper b b being divided into two compartments, cc, by a vertical partition, d, at right angles to the faces of the wooden blades a a. The bottoms of the hoppers are each provided with a discharge-opening, d', and a sliding cover, e, is provided for each double hopper b b.
f designates a central lateral partition of wood, which is shorter than the wooden blades a a', which tapers to a point at its lower end, and extends a short distance below the lower ends of the wooden blades an', as shown.
. Immediately beneath the hoppers the blades a a and partition f are provided with rectangular openings g near each edge, ,for the reception of the seed-cups h h', which are also made double, so that the two of them will supply the four compartments of the double hoppers. These double seed-cups h h are made in v elongated form, as shown, and are slotted verti- Fig. 3 is a cross-section l cups to the discharge-passages. The seedcups h h are secured in-the openings g in the central partition, f, by blocks t' z", inserted in the slots k, and drivenalong the slots into the openings g until ythe ends of said blocks are right angles to the wooden partition f, connect the blades a a', with ythe central .lateral wooden partition, f, thereby forming four distinct and separate passages for guiding the corn to the hill. lead-from a point a short distance above the seed-cups down to a point opposite the shoulders 'm m on the `inner faces of the woody blades a a', said shoulders being formedby cutting away portions of the blades a a near their lower ends, to form seats for the adjustable metal blades va n. a a are provided with vertical slots lo o', centrally located a short distance below the shoulders m m', through which the threaded studs p .of the adjustable metal cutting-blades a n project, andare secured by nuts and washers a" r'. ,l
Curved springs s s s2 s3 are secured to 'ceu 'tral wooden partition f-*two on each`face at the point where the partition f begins to taper. These springs curve outwardly, and those of each pair converge from their places of fastening toward their point. Theobject of these springs is to force the metallic cutting-blades outwardly after they have been closed and inserted into-the ground, without requiring the operator to push thejupper ends of the wooden blades together.
Directly below the fieXible partitions ZZ', and formingV continuations of them, are securedto the partition f the flexible oar-shaped guide-pieces t t. They are interposed between the springs s s and s2 s3 and the metal cutting-blades, and serve to direct the corn to the corners of the rectangular discharge end of the planter formed by openingy the metal blades while in thev ground. s
The edges of the blades a a and the parti- 'tionf form a point above the seed-cups down 'Ihese ilexible partitions Z Zy The Wooden blades to a point opposite the shoulders my m by fieri` ble material u, as shown.
From the shoulders m m down the cuttingplates 'u o are employed, and these are secured to the blades a a and partition f by screws and upset rivets, and extend down to the cutting-edges of the metal cutting-blades u a. The objects of these side cutting blades or plates c o are to cut grass or other obstructions at the sides of blades a af, and to prevent the dirt from falling in too quickly when the cuttingblades u a are opened in the ground.
The under faces of the hoppers are provided with guide-loops rw for the outer ends of the seed-cups, as shown.
w designate the handles.
The operation of the planter is quite simple. The hoppers being first filled, it is only necessary to grasp the handles, draw them outwardly until the points of the cuttingblades a n meet, plunge the point of the plantcr into the ground, release the draw on the handles, and the springs s s and sL s3 will force the blades n a outwardly while in the ground, and at the same time will slide the lioppers inwardly on the seed-cups, causing four charges of coru to be discharged from the four hoppers through the four discharge-passages at four points that will form a rectangular hill of corn when covered by the dirt, which will fall in upon the withdrawal of the planter from the ground. The cutting-blades a a being made adjustable vertically renders the planter adapta-ble to planting hills of gseater or lesser area, accordingly as the blades a a are set down or up, as may be desired.
Having;y thus fully described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a hand corn-planter, the combination, with the wooden blades a af and wooden partitionf, connected by central leXible partitions, ZZ, and outer flexible covers, u u, and cutting-plates o t, of the double hoppers b b, double seed-cups h h', the curved springs s s' and s2 s, guide-pieces t t', and the metal cutting-blades n a', substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
