  • Wet rope weed killer
    Patent number: 4332106
    Abstract: Liquid herbicide is stored in a reservoir located above synthetic ropes. Headers and manifold tubes fluidly connect the reservoir with the ropes. As the herbicide comes down from the reservoir, it is effectively force fed into the ropes. The length of the rope stays wet due to the forced feeding. As a rope or plurality of the ropes comes into contact with a weed, a dose of herbicide is applied.

  • Angle rope weed killer
    Patent number: 4285160
    Abstract: A series of wick ropes are pressure fed with herbicide. They are moved along weeds to be killed at about a 35.degree. angle so that the ropes wipe along the weeds applying herbicide thereto. Each rather short section of rope is fed by a different reservoir so that if the applicator is on a slope as by a roadside, the head upon the ropes at one end is not much greater than upon the other end.
