  • Patent number: 9655297
    Abstract: A scraper body adapted to be attached to a furrow opener assembly with a disc rotatably mounted on an arm and oriented at a horizontal angle to create a disc furrow. The scraper body has an attachment body portion adapted to be attached to the furrow opener assembly such that a forward scraping edge of the scraper body scrapes soil from the disc face. A wing member extends from a lower rear portion of the scraper body, and has a top wing member edge oriented in alignment with the disc furrow and with the operating travel direction. Right and left wings extending downward and outward from the top wing member edge to bottom wing edges located above a bottom edge of the disc such that in operation the wings push soil to corresponding right and left sides of the disc furrow to create right and left wing furrows.

  • Patent number: 7540246
    Abstract: A furrow opener device includes a disc arranged to open a primary furrow in the ground. A scraper body has a leading scraper edge supported alongside the disc to scrape the disc. A wing member is supported on a bottom portion of the scraper body in proximity to a bottom end of the disc and extends laterally outwardly away from the disc so as to be arranged to open a groove in the primary furrow projecting laterally to one side of the primary furrow, and a tube extends generally downward to an output opening located adjacent the wing member and is arranged for depositing product into the groove.
