Abstract: Product dosing system for agricultural machines, being of special utility in fertilizing machines such that the simple salts carrying nutrients, that is to say, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, can be arranged in granulated form in respective deposit hoppers 3, 3? and 3? aligned in the advance direction of the fertilizing machine to directly pour the simple fertilizer to the ground to be fertilized, as well as having an endless axle 8 for regulating the simple fertilizer for its conduction towards collection and pouring dosing means, thus, having an endless axle for regulating the doses of simple fertilizer in granulated form and dosing means for each of the hoppers, allowing the regulation and measurement speed to depend on the advance speed of the machine, the machine having to that end rolling means 4, through which the movement is transmitted to the regulating endless axles and to the axles of the collection and pouring dosing machines.

Abstract: A mortar applying machine incorporating housing, having a rotatable drive wheel mounted therein, the drive wheel adhered upon a pivot shaft located within the housing, and the drive wheel being disposed through the bottom of the housing for mortar and engagement with the surface of a row of blocks previously applied in the forming of a building wall. Fixedly mounted to the same shaft are a pair of paddles, formed of blades, which assure the proper shifting and movement of the fluid mortar into position within the housing, for passage out of its lower openings, and onto the transverse lands of the row of blocks as previously applied into the building wall. A diverter is provided within the housing to assure that the fluid mortar flows towards the front of the housing with respect to the direction of its movement when depositing a layer of mortar onto a previously laid row of blocks.

Abstract: This invention discloses an adjustable apparatus for spreading mortar onto bricks or blocks. The apparatus utilizes augers and is readily adjusted to extrude beads of mortar onto the proper portions of bricks/blocks having different widths. A trowel member is provided on the extrusion ports to smooth the beads of mortar. The apparatus includes a lid member that contains water for wetting the mortar. The weight of the lid member containing water also helps urge the mortar out of the hopper through the extrusion ports. Mortar gate plate members to regulate flow of mortar through the extrusion ports are also provided.

Abstract: A seeding device to dispense seed suspended in a gel or other carrier medium in either a continuous stream or discrete pulses. A coulter opens a furrow of earth to the proper depth and seed carried in a gel or other suspension medium is delivered in a pulsed or continuous stream into the furrow which is then covered with earth by a trailing coverer. An auger delivers the seed in suspension and the speed of the auger is controlled to vary the volume of seed and gel or other suspension medium delivered. Circumferentially spaced cam lobes on a drive wheel control the frequency and therefore the row spacing of the seed suspension medium distributed in the pulse delivery mode.

Abstract: The specification discloses an applicator (10) for precisely dispensing granular materials, such as herbicides, pesticides and the like, with improved control while compensating for the speed and travel direction of the implement carrying the applicator. The applicator (10) comprises a hopper (14) with an arcuate hopper bottom extension (40) and an internal feed rotor (42). The arcuate hopper bottom extension (40) is preferably inclined, and the openings (44) in the end preferably include straight lowermost sides oriented parallel to the rotational axis of the feed rotor (42) to obtain better flow control in conjunction with a revolving transfer means (54) located beneath and closely adjacent to the bottom end of the hopper. The revolving transfer assembly (54) preferably includes a plurality of rollers (56) for individually receiving material from the openings (44) in the hopper and distributing it for application.

Abstract: A device for unrolling a round bale of hay when being discharged upon the ground from a hay carrying vehicle, said device including a mechanism in which a plurality of rollers form a cradle upon which the hay bale is rested, the rollers being power rotated so as to unroll the hay bale as it sits in the cradle so that a mat of hay is spread on the ground.

Abstract: An elongated mobile frame having supporting wheels at its rear end and a pair of elongated support arms pivotally secured at their inner ends to the rear end portion of the frame for movements between operative positions projecting transversely from the frame and forwardly projecting inoperative positions. The support arms have outer support wheels engaging the ground in the operative positions of the arms, the outer support wheels being supported by the frame in the inoperative positions of the support arms. Hoppers for dispensing granular material are mounted on the frame and on the support arms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fertilizer distributor attachment that is adapted to be mounted to a conventional transplanter and powered thereby through a frictional drive system that includes a friction drive wheel associated with said fertilizer distributor attachment and engageable with a furrow closing wheel assembly rotatively mounted to the transplanter and which engages the ground as the transplanter traverses a field during the transplanting operation.
