FERTILIZER-DISTRIBUTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 5, 1907.
Application filed December 24 1906. Serial No 349,236.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Florence, in the county of Florence and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in hertilizerDistributers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in fertilizer-distributors, and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Referring to the drawings, forming a part hereof, l igure 1 is a side view of my improvement. big. 2 is a central longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a plan view, parts thereof bevertical section.
The present embodiment of my invention comprises a frame A, composed of the longitudinal bars a, the front ends thereof being bent at an angle toward each other, as at a, and joined together by bolts a, a clevis a being interposed between the ends of the bars and secured in place by said bolts.
The rear ends of the bars a are bent at an angle to the body portion, and a cross-bar a is bolted to said end portions, the ends of the crossbar being bentupon themselves, as at a to form open slots at for a purpose to be hereinafter described.
A shaft or axle B is ournaled between the longitudinal bars at approximately the cen ter thereof, and on the said shaft are j ournaled sleeves 7), the inner ends of the sleeves being provided with circular flanges 7) b and between the flanges are pivotally mounted the shanks b of knives I), the said knives being arranged parallel with the shaft, the shanks being twisted, as at I), to permit this longitudinal arrangement. Rivets b extend through the flanges, and the shanks thus securing the flanges together, and. one of the shanks is provided with two rivets, as shown at 1), whereby to limit the pivotal motion of the shanks with respect to the flanges.
A cylinder 1) is arranged between the wheels and concentric therewith, the said cylinder comprising a plurality of abutting transversely-curved plates 1), whose ends are received in the annular grooves b and whose edges are recessed, as at I), the recesses of the adjacent plates coacting to form openings for permitting the passage of the knives I), as shown in Iigs. 2 and 4. Bolts b are provided for securing the wheels together, whereby to retain the cylinder in place, the said bolts passing through the cylinder and traversing openings in the webs.
A hopper a is arran ed above the cylinder between the wheels, and the bottom of the mg broken away; and Big. 4 1s a transverse hop er is formed by the peripheral surface of tfie cylinder, thesides of the hopper being cut away on curves corresponding to the curves described by the edges of the knives when the wheels are revolved. A front brace a connects the front of the hopper with the junction of the longitudinal bars, and a rear brace a is arranged between the hopper and the cross-bar a Handles a are bolted to the longitudinal bars, as at a and are connected with the sides of the hopper by the bolts (L9, the said handles being connected by the rung e adjacent to the rear end thereof.
The arms I)" of the collars I) are pivotally connected with the arnes of a yoke 6 and the body portion of the yoke is pivoted to the lower end of a lever 71, pivoted upon the rear brace a, as at a, and provided with a spring-actuated catch 6 for engaging a toothed quadrant 6 whereby to retain the collars l) in their adjusted position.
A plowbeam 0, provided with a plow O, is pivoted to each of the longitudinal bars by a bolt 0, and the upper edge of the beam is provided with a lug c traversing the slot a, before described, and provided with a nut 0 whereby to retain the plow-beam in its adjusted position with respect to the frame.
In operation, the hopper being supplied with fertilizer and the distributer being put in motion, the center of revolution of the wheels being eccentric to the center of revolution of the sleeves b, the knives b will be projected upon one side of the cylinder and retracted upon the opposite side, as shown in Fig. 2. By adjustin the collars b circumfeientially of the shaft the commencement of the point of projection of the knives may be varied, the arrangement being preferably that shown in Fig. 2, where the point of com mencement of projection is at the rear end of the hopper. The edges of the knives in their passage beneath the hopper follow the out line of the bottom thereof and remove a thin layer of the fertilizer therefrom, and the continued revolution of the cylinder drops the fertilizer upon the ground. After dropping the fertilizer the knives begin to retract into the cylinder, thus cleaning themselves from the fertilizer. Since each knife is projected at the same point from the cylinder, a con tinuous layer of fertilizer will be distributed, the layer being of a width equal to the width of the cylinder. For the purpose of cleaning the peripheral surface of the, cylinder a scraper 1) is arranged at the rear of the hopper, the edge of the scraper contacting with the cylinder at a point where the knives are flush with or below the outer surface of the cylinder.
For the purpose of preventing the packing of the fertilizer on the surface of the cylinder a shield or deflector D is arranged transversely of the hopper above the bottom opening, said deflector comprising an angular plate having flanges d at the ends thereof, said flanges being secured to the sides of the hopper in any suitable manner. Below the plate D and secured to the ends of the hoper and transversely thereof are other shields or deflectors d, comprising a flange (1 secured to the hopper, and an angular portion d projecting inwardly and dovmwardly. It will be evident that the deflector D will deflect the fertilizer to the ends of the hopper and onto the deflectors d in the direction of the arrows, all of the deflectors acting to support the fertilizer above them, whereby to relieve the pressure on the cylinder.
