WILLIAM MOMULLIN AND WILLIAM R. MOMULLIN, OF ADEL, IOWA.
CORN-PLANTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,850, dated March 16, 1886. Application filed October 8, 1885. Serial No. 179,342. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WILLIAM MoMULLIN and WILLIAM R. MCMULLIN, of Adel, in the county of Dallas and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Mechanism of Corn-Planters, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to the manner of throwing the dropping-bars of corn-planters by the check-row dropper, the object of the invention being to do away with the complicated mechanism as now employed by all check-row corn-planter attachments.
The invention consists in the arrangement of the dropping-bar and the mechanism connected with it,and rope or wire which throws the bar, substantially as shown in the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a sectional top view in detail, Fig. 2 being a rear view, partly sectional, in which appears in detail the mechanism designed as a second drop.
Upon the frame-work of the corn-planter rests the dropping-bar A, attached to which is the half-circle hoop E. Around E is the thumb-piece d, to which is fastened the spring D, connecting with the short standard 0, which projects through a slot in the bar A. At the end of the bar A is an irregular-shaped piece, B, which is loose on the bolt b, against which and through the guide J slides the rope 1, upon which are balls i at regular in tervals.
The second drop (shown in Fig. 2, and which is operated by the bar A) consists of the piece F, which oscillates on the pin f.
The operation of the device is as follows: When the corn-planter is in motion, the rope I slides through the guide J. The balli strikes the piece B, which throws the bar A. After the ball t'passes the piece B, the spring D, attached to the short standard 0, which is fixed in the frame-work of the planter, pulling on the thumb-piece d, which is around the hoop E, attached to the bar A, draws the bar A back to its normal position, having made all the movements to drop one hill. As each successive ball on the rope presses on and passes the piece B, the same movements are obtained. To drop from the other side of the planter,the check-ropeisadjustedtothatside. Thethumbpiece d is changed to'the other side of the hoop E, which moves the bar A in position to be thrown as before. The grain dropped by the bar A is caught by the second drop, behind the projection G, when at the next throw of thebar A the second drop, F, working in unison with the bar A, exposes the hole H and drops the grain to the ground.
\Vhat we claim is- The combination of the bar A, the piece B, the guide J, the standard 0, the spring D, with thumb-piece d, and the hoop E, arranged to be operated by the check-row wire I and the balls z, substantially as set forth.
