  • Patent number: 11910740
    Abstract: A brush belt includes a base member having a drive surface configured to engage a drive member and a mounting surface opposite the drive surface, the mounting surface having a longitudinal axis, a first edge, and second edge, the first edge and the second edge being positioned on opposite sides of the mounting surface and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of bristles, each bristle having a first end that is proximal to the mounting surface and a second end distal thereto, the second ends of the bristles collectively defining an undulating surface profile relative to the mounting surface when viewed parallel to the mounting surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis from either the first edge or the second edge.

  • Publication number: 20220159902
    Abstract: A distribution assembly for distributing a granular product that are to be distributed on the ground comprises, a mechanism for distributing said granular product singly, a mechanism for conveying said singled granular product to the ground, and a mechanism for transferring said singled granular product from the mechanism for distributing to the mechanism for conveying. The mechanism for transferring may be synchronized in terms of speed and in terms of position with said mechanism for distributing, and the mechanism for transferring may capture said granular product singly and immobilize it within said mechanism for transferring, so as to keep each granular product spaced a determined and constant distance from one another, in said mechanism for transferring and during the transfer of said granular product, to the mechanism for conveying.
