CHECK-ROW PLANTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 497,799, dated May 23, 1893.
Application filed December 5, 1892. Serial No. 454,065. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, EMIL C. C. KROGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Monmouth, in the county of Warren and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Check-Row Planters; and I do declare the following to be af ull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in check row planters, and it has for its object among others to provide a machine of this class which shall be simple in its construction, efficient in its operation, durable and not liable to become deranged and which does not require skilled persons to manipulate it.
It has for a further object to do away with the knob wire and scriber, and to provide for the alternate marking and dropping of seed.
It also aims at improvements in general in the construction and arrangement of parts whereby the desired ends are best accomplished.
I provide an improved marking wheel with knives and spurs or spikes, and the mechanism for operating the dropper slides is of novel construction. The means for operating these slides embodies a shaft mounted so as to be swung in the aro of a circle to operate in connection with either side of the machine. This shaft carries the marking wheel and also carries a Wheel of peculiar construction which operates to actuate the dropper slides; when the Wheel is upon one side of the machine the wheel operates the slide in one direction and when it is swung over it operates it in the opposite direction. The devices engaged by this wheel are also of novel construction and arrangement.
The device as a whole is simple yet durable and efficient, and in practice has proved to be better fitted for the work which it is designed toperform than prior constructions.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claims.
The novelty in the present instance resides in the peculiar combinations, and the con struction, arrangement and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings and then particularly pointed out in the claims.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which- Figurel is a side elevation of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a top plan thereof with the marking wheel and the slide-operating wheel shown upon one side in full lines and upon the other side by dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a plan, on a larger scale, of the forward portion of the machine. Fig. t is a section on the line .frof Fig. 3 with parts broken away. Fig. 5 is adetail in bottom plan of the slide-operating arms. Fig. 6 is a detail, partly in vertical section and part in elevation of the slide-operating wheel and adjacent parts. Fig. 7 is a detail which will be more particularly hereinafter referred to. Fig. S is a detail on an enlarged scale of one of the knives of the marking Wheel.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several'views in which they appear.
The parts of the machine which are not hereinafter specifically described may be of any Well-known or approved form of construction; I have shown what may be considered the preferable form, but it will of course be understood that the parts which do not constitute the present invention may be constructed as may be deemed best.
Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the frame of the machine designed to support the working parts, and A is the main axle journaled in suitable boxes or bearings a thereon as Seen in Fig. 2. This axle carries the wheels VB which may be of any appoved construction.
B is the drivers seat supported in any suitable manner, as upon the seat-support B2 which is secured to the cross bar b of the frame as seen in Fig. 2.
IOO
IC are the` seed boxes or receptacles which are supported in' any Well known manner, and C are the spouts and coverers also of any approved form of construction.
The draft appliances may be of any desired kind and attached in any suitable manner.
D are the slides of the seed boxes mounted to be reciprocated in suitable guides and of known construction.
E are transverse timbers connecting the seed boxes and E is a rod or bar connecting the two slides as seen best in Fig. 4.
F is avbar pivoted at one end as atf to some iixed part as one of the bars E and at the other end adj ustably pivoted to the slide, there being one for each slide as seen in Figs. 3 and vand the connection with the slide is made adjustable in any suitable manner as by a plurality of holes f seen in Fig. 5 into either of which the removable pivot pin may be engaged.
G are bars pivoted on the pivots of the bars F as seen in Fig. 2 and at each end pivotally connected with a bar or rod G each of which extends rearward as seen in Figs. 2 and 3 and is guided over a short shaft G2 and at its rear end carries a vertical plate G3 as seen best in Figs. 1 and 6 which is suitably braced as by a brace g as seen also in said views.
I-I is the marker wheel; it consists of a suitable hub from which radiate the spokes connecting the same with the rim H which is provided with the spurs or spikes h which may be arranged at any suitable distance apart and arranged at a distance of one quarter of the circumference of the rim are the knives H as seen best in Figs. l and 2 and each of which consists of a transverse plate provided with an angle iron or piece h2 as seen best in Figs. l and S by which it is secured to the rim of the wheel as seen in Fig. 1. These knives may be arranged closer together if desired, the distance being varied according to the distance apart it is desired to drop the seed. This wheel is carried by a shaft I which has one end, its outer end, journaled in a suitable bearing t' in a rearwardly extending arm I' as seen in Fig. 2 and its other end is hook-'shaped and journaled in a bearing at the rear end of the central longitudinal bar I2 as seen best in Fig. 2, being so held in the bearing that the shaft can be turned over to bring the marker; wheel to the opposite side of the machine as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2 when returning tothe other end of the field. Suitable means as a pin j should be provided to prevent displacement of that end of the shaft,
as seen in Fig. 3. This wheel I-l is designed to operate upon either side of the machine, and the shaft which carries the said wheel is provided with the angular brace bar J which is sleeved thereon at one end and at the other end is sleeved in a suitable manner so as to allow it to be turned over with the shaft when it is desired to change the position of the marker wheel.
On this shaft near its center is a wheel consisting of a hub K and a rim K' from opposite sides of which latter extend the pins carrying anti-friction rollers L, the outer ends of the pins being supported in the bars L which are arranged at right angles to each other as seen in Fig. 6.
The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the annexed drawings,and a further detailed description thereof is not deemed necessary, but it may be stated that in the forward movement of the machine the marker wheel operates in the usual way; the dropper slides are actuated through the medium of the rollers on the wheel on the short reversible shaft; the first roller acting upon the vertical bar G3 will move the same forward and this, through the pivotal connections described, will cause the slide to be moved in one direction, thus throwing the opposite bar or plate G3 into position to be engaged by the next roller on said wheel which being upon the other side of the center will be in position to engage said plate 0r bar and thus move the slide in the opposite direction. When the machine has reached the other end of the iield all that is necessary to be done is to swing the short shaft I over so as to bring the marker wheel upon the opposite side of the machine and this same movement brings the wheel K and its rollers into position to act in the same way upon the bars G3 upon that side of the machine as they did upon the other side.
The device is accurate and positive in its action and requires no attention upon the part of the driver.
Modifications in detail may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
What I claim as new isl. The combination with the dropper slides, of means carried by a reversibly lmounted shaft for alternately reciprocating them in opposite directions, and a reversible marker wheel, carried by a pivotally mounted shaft as set forth.
2. The combination with the dropper slides, and the pivoted arms connected therewith and provided with vertical bars of the marker wheel, its shaft mounted to be swung to bring the said wheel to either side, and means a portion of which are on said shaft between said shaft and slides for actuating the latter, as set forth.
3. The combination with the dropper slides,
'and the pivoted arms connected therewith and provided with vertical bars of the marker wheel carried by a shaft mounted to be swung to bring the wheel upon either side of the machine, and means on said shaft for alternately reciprocating the slides, as set forth.
4. The combination with the dropper slides and the pivoted bars connected therewith, and provided with vertical bars of the marker IOO Wheel and its shaft and the means on said shaft for moving said bars to reciprocate the slides, as set forth.
5. The combination with the dropper slides and the marker Wheel shaft, of lche pivoted arms provided With vertical bars mounted for moving the slides and the Wheel on said shaft for moving said arms, as set forth.
6. The combination with the dropper slides, of the reversibly mounted marker Wheel shaft, the pivoted arms connected with the dropper slides, and the Wheel on said shaft carrying rollers for actuating said arms, as set forth.
7. The combination with the dropper slides and the reversiblymounted marker Wheel shaft, of the pivoted arms connected With the Slides and the Wheel on said shaft having rollers projecting from its opposite sides in different planes to alternately operate said arms, as set forth.
8. The combination with the dropper slides and the pivoted arms connected therewith, of
the vertical bars on the ends of said arms, the marker-wheel shaft mounted to be swung to bring the marker upon either side of the machine, and the wheel on said shaft provided With rollers projecting from opposite sides and in different planes, as set forth.
9. The combination with the frame having a rearwardlylextending arm with open bearing, of a shaft mounted at one end in said bearing and at the other end mounted to be swung up to move the marker Wheel to the other side ofthe machine, and a central rearwardly-extending arm having a bearing for the inner end of said shaft, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
