Device for mounting cantilever-suspended booms on agricultural vehicles for distributing treatment materials

Abstract

A mounting device for distributing booms in which a boom is suspended in laterally-projecting relationship from a vehicle through an anti-roll arrangement comprising an upper, rigid, horizontally-disposed member having depending therefrom and at opposite ends thereof connecting rods pivotally-connected to said longitudinal member and a deflecting bar therebeneath and forming therewith a first trapezoid arrangement, the deflecting bar being parallel to the longitudinal member and in turn having depending therefrom second connecting bars and the top part of a frame and forming therewith a second trapezoid arrangement, the frame having projecting from opposite ends thereof cantilever-supported boom members so that movement of the vehicle over irregular surfaces or angular slopes results in minimal flipping movement and/or oscillation of the boom.
