  • Patent number: 4138063
    Abstract: A spray boom apparatus for attachment to a chemical and fertilizer-spreading farm vehicle for spraying chemicals over crops and farmland. The apparatus comprises a pair of spray booms which are hinged to a support rack. Each boom is further connected to the support rack by means of a hydraulic cylinder which allows each boom to be positioned in an outwardly-projecting dispensing position. The support rack is hinged to a stationary brace which is attached to the rear of the farm vehicle. A further hydraulic cylinder is connected between the support rack and the stationary brace. This further cylinder allows each boom to be tilted simultaneously to a closed position above the side windows of the cab of the vehicle when the booms are not in use.
