Patent number: 5123598Abstract: A hand held spreading device is disclosed for broadcast spreading material via a rotating impeller. The device has an actuating assemly including an actuating member and a dual spring arrangement interconnected with the actuating member. One of the springs causes material to be discharged onto the impeller in response to movement of the actuating member and prevents damage of the device resulting from excessive movement of the actuating member. The second spring biases the actuating member to move to an idle position in which no material is discharged onto the impeller and causes the actuating member to return to this idle position after movement thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1990Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: The O. M. Scott & Sons Company, Inc.Inventors: Steve P. Courtney, James D. Amerine

Patent number: 5102440Abstract: A carrierless granular slow release fertilizer composition is prepared by spraying a urea-formaldehyde resin composition having a U/F molar ratio ranging from 2.4 to 13.3 onto finely divided solid particulate raw materials and cooling the resulting sprayed product to solidify the resin composition providing a matrix within which the solid particulate raw materials are bound. The fertilizer composition is characterized by having desired physical and chemical properties in regard to chain length of nitrogen polymers in the product, nitrogen release patterns, hardness and dust free nature of the product and the dispersibility characteristics of the product. The product has an abrasion index of about 0.800-1.000.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1990Date of Patent: April 7, 1992Assignee: The O. M. Scott & Sons CompanyInventors: William E. Gallant, Harvey M.

Patent number: 4954154Abstract: Methylene diurea, either alone or as a component of methylene urea polymers acts as a gelling agent for producing a gel composition capable of suspending particles which are insoluble in a liquid medium. Methylene diurea as the gelling agent in a liquid medium can be used to obtain novel gel compositions in the absence of added thickener-suspending agents. The methylene diurea is present in an amount greater than the solubility limit of methylene diurea in the liquid medium and in an amount sufficient to provide a gel for suspending insoluble particles. The process for producing the gel composition includes subjecting a dry methylene urea composition in particulate form to a shearing action in a liquid medium wherein the methylene urea includes an amount of methylene diurea greater than the solubility limit of methylene diurea in the liquid medium.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1988Date of Patent: September 4, 1990Assignee: The O. M. Scott & Sons CompanyInventor: Harvey M. Goertz

Patent number: 4850555Abstract: A stake and coupler for holding an irrigation device, such as a sprinkler, for use in a home gardening watering system. The stake is an elongated plastic body having a substantially constant multilobed crosssection. One end of the stake has a projection for mounting an irrigation device, the other end a pointed tip for anchoring the stake in the ground. The coupler is a hollow plastic body, both ends of which contain identical openings and which will receive either end of the stake for joining two stakes together.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1983Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignee: The O.M. Scott & Sons CompanyInventors: Jack L. Lemkin, Carl A. Peterson, Eugene A. Zilber
