Abstract
A spreader device includes a container to contain spread substance, a first spreader portion having a first rotor to spray the spread substance contained in the container, a second spreader portion having a second rotor to spray the spread substance contained in the container, a first driver source to drive the first rotor, a first shaft to transmit a driving force outputted from the first driver source, a second shaft to transmit a driving force outputted from a second driver source different from the first driver source, and a selection transmitter portion to selectively transmit the driving force form the first shaft and the driving force from the second shaft to the first rotor or the second rotor.
Claims7
A spreader device comprising:
- a container to contain spread substance;
- a first spreader portion having a first rotor to spray the spread substance contained in the container;
- a second spreader portion having a second rotor to spray the spread substance contained in the container;
- a first driver source to drive the first rotor;
- a first shaft to transmit a driving force outputted from the first driver source;
- a second shaft to transmit a driving force outputted from a second driver source different from the first driver source;
- and
- a selection transmitter portion to selectively transmit the driving force from the first shaft and the driving force from the second shaft to the first rotor or the second rotor,
- wherein the selection transmitter portion includes a clutch and is configured to be switched between a first state to be connected to the first shaft and a second state to be connected to the second shaft, the selection transmitter portion being configured to allow the driving force from the first shaft to be transmitted to the second rotor when in the first state, and allow the driving force from the second shaft to be transmitted to the second rotor when in the second state.
