PLANT'ER ANID FERTILIZER-DISTRIBUTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part at Letters Patent No. 381,335, dated April-17,1888;
Application filed August 0, rest.
' To all whom it mag concern.- v
Be itknown that we, LEWIS CHARLES and JOHN GHARLEs, of Clear Spring,-in the county of Washington and State of Maryland, have invented a new Improvement in Planters and Fertilizer-Distributers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is an improved combined planter and fertilizer-distributer5i and it con'-' sists in certain features of construction and novel combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed. I
In the drawings, Figuresl is a side view,
parts being broken away, of the improved machine. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section through the hopper.
' the fertilizer discharging devices. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the knocker and its supports.
. Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail view of a part of the boot-support.
The framing comprises side beams, AA, be-
tween which, near their forward ends,we jour nal the axle -13 of wheel O,'which axle B is.
fixed to said wheel and is provided with a sprocket or other suitable pulley, b. At its rear'end suitable'handles, D, are connected with the main frame, and'coverers d are'also connected withsuch frame and arranged to run on opposite sides of the row planted by I adjustably with the frame, it maybe by the aid of the interlocking serrations, as shown in Fig. 1.
The hopper .E is supported on the main frame, and is dividedintoa fertilizer-compartment,- F, and a seed-compartment, G, the latter being preferably above the fertilizer-compartment, as shown. The plate g,whichforms the bottom of the seed-compartment, also forms a base on which the seed wheel-or, as it may be termed, the seed-dropper.-H, rests and moves. This seed-dropper H is shown as a wheel provided with 'pockets h, and turning out of the rearend of the hopper to bring its seed-pockets into position to discharge into the seed-conducting tube H,which leads down to and discharges into the upper end of the boot. The'dropperflt will be seen, turns through a slotor opening in the rear of the Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views of larger or smaller one, as desired. i 1 the aid of the boot presently described. It is, orn or other- 80 usual and preferable to connect the coverers Serial No. 246,552. (no mta'eiuhopper, and abrush, 7t, andknocker k are provided to prevent anycloggingof the device. The k'nocker hihas a portion, hfiwhich overlaps a bar or other. suitable stop, h, and s serves to limit the movement of the k nocker. 5' The dropper is secured'toand operated bya" shaft, I, which extends down throughthe fertilizer-compartment, and has fixed to ita bevel or similar gear-wheel, I, meshed by a pinion, j, on ahorizontal shaft, J. Asprocket orsimilar pulley, J,'"is sleeved on the shaft J ,.'and is connected by a sprocket belt or chain, j,'with. the pulley bon the axle of the drive-wheel.
This pulleyJhas a clutch-section, 1,and;a
be seen,'the dropping devices can be thrown into or out of gear with the drive-wheel, as desired.
A lever, K, pivoted to one of the handles," connects at its forward end with the movable clutch-section, and serves as a means for ad- V, justing the said section. into and out of engagement with the sprocket-pulley. 41 I In practice it will be. understood that the pulley J may be removed and replaced by a Theboot K, which receives the e seed from the conducting-tube, also receives 5 fertilizer from the fertilizer-compartment through adischarge-opening, 3, andsucbboot is pivoted at or nearits upper end at 4:, 'so it mayturn backward at its lower-end to props 8 erly pass stones, roots, and like-obstructions. To bring the boot properlyback to place we employ the sectional support L, pivoted at one end, Z,'to the boot and at the otherend, Z, to Y K the framing. This support is formed of .secc v 'tions L and L pivotally joined and overlap: pingat their'juncture, the overlapping por-c. tion l of section L resting on .the section L, asshown. To the section L, under the por-i tionli we secure a rod'or'bolt, M, whichflex 5i it tends up through or past the said portion 1?, and supportsaspring, N, which bears between said portion l and a stop,1m, on the. rod, said stop being usually anut threaded on therod M, as shown. The operation of this construe-' ICO- creased. The arms O.run on the fertilizerdisk and operate to regulate the quantity of fertilizer discharged. These parts N and 0 may be secured in their different adjustments by screws 91? and 0, as shown.
The arms 1? are connected with the vertical shaft and serve to draw the fertilizer down onto the disk, while the arms Q, also attached to the said shaft, serve to agitate and force the fertilizer outward through the dischargeopenings.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new is- 1. The combination of the hopper provided with a fertilizer-compartment having a discharge opening, the fertilizer discharging disk, the adjustable gage N, whereby the discharge-opening may be partially or wholly closed, and the arm 0, having a portion extended within the fertilizer-compartment and adjustable substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2. In a machine, substantially as described, a boot-support consisting of two sections pivoted together, one of such sections having an extension beyond the pivot overlapping the other, the rod or bolt connected with one section and extended past the overlapping portion of the other, and a spring on said rod, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
3. The combination, with the pivoted boot and the framing of the boot-supporter, pivoted at its opposite ends, respectively, to the boot and framing and formed in sections pivoted together, of a portion extended from one of the sections past the pivot and partially overlapping the other portion, and a spring for forcing the said overlapping portion toward the section it overlaps, substantially as set forthv 4. The pivoted boot and the main frame, combined with the boot-support, consisting of sections L and L, pivoted together, one of which sections has an overlapping portion, 1, the rod or bolt M, and the spring thereon, all being arranged and operating substantially as and for the purposes specified.
5. The improved planter and fertilizer-distribnter herein described and shown, consisting of the framing, the hopper mounted thereon and formed into seed and fertilizer compartments, the seed-dropper, the conductingtube leading thence to the boot, the pivoted boot, the fertilizer discharging mechanism, the horizontal and vertical shafts geared together and with the drive-wheel, whereby to operate the seed-dropper and fertilizer-discharging mechanism, and the boot -support formed in sections pivoted together and having one of the sections formed with an overlapping extension, a rod or bolt, M, and aspring thereon, all substantially as and for the purposes specified.
