  • Patent number: 9686908
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a hinge mount top plate, a hinge mount bottom plate, and a pin connecting the top plate and bottom plate. A cam adjuster element includes a top aperture, a middle aperture, and a bottom aperture. A first fastener passes through the top aperture to connect the cam adjuster element to the hinge mount top plate. The first fastener may be disposed in different positions in the top aperture. A second fastener passes through the middle aperture to connect the cam adjuster element to the hinge mount top plate. The cam adjuster element may pivot about a longitudinal axis of the second fastener. The pin is retained in the bottom aperture. An assembly includes a disc, a seed boot, and a mounting mechanism that allows for movement between the seed boot and the disc about first pivot axis and second pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 8919267
    Abstract: A seeder implement (125) includes a fork (146) having a first spindle support arm (150) that supports a first spindle (164) and a second spindle support arm (152) that supports a second spindle (168). A first disk (160) is supported on the first spindle (164), wherein the first spindle (164) is oriented in a first orientation and at a first acute angle relative to a lateral line. The first disk (160) is oriented at a second acute angle relative to the ground surface. A second disk (166) is supported on the second spindle (168), wherein the second spindle (168) is oriented in a second orientation and at a third acute angle relative to the lateral line. The second disk (166) is oriented at a fourth acute angle relative to the ground surface. The first disk (160) is longitudinally offset ahead of the second disk (166), and there are no structural components between the first and second disks (160, 166) other than the first and second spindles (164, 168).
