Abstract
In a fertilizer spreader having a reciprocatively swinging distributor pipe, a distributing device is secured to the front end outlet of the distributor pipe. The distributing device comprises an upper part; a bottom part forwardly upwardly inclined and upwardly bent at both sides form a pair of inclined side plates; and a front clash part provided with an opening therein and interconnecting the upper and bottom parts, whereby the discharge speed, direction and timing of the fertilizer discharged from the outlet of the distributory pipe are variously changed so as to spread the fertilizer relatively uniformly.
Claims19
In a fertilizer spreader wherein a distributor pipe is reciprocatively swung for discharging of fertilizer through a front end outlet thereof, the improvements comprising a distributing device attached to the front end outlet of the distributor pipe comprising:
- an upper part;
- a bottom part including a forwardly upwardly inclined bottom portion, and a pair of inclined upwardly extending side plates at both opposite sides thereof, said side plates being connected to and extending upwardly from said bottom portion, said bottom portion being a substantially straight, upwardly inclined, plate-like portion having a width which gradually increases in a direction away from said front outlet end of said distributor pipe and toward a front clash part;
- and
- said front clash part being spaced apart from said front end outlet of said distributor pipe in the direction of fertilizer discharge so as to form a fertilizer dispersing space therebetween, said front clash part interconnecting said upper and bottom parts, said front clash part including at least two spaced apart blocking portions opposite and blocking a part of said front end outlet of said distributor pipe and against which fertilizer impinges, and said front clash part having at least one opening between said at least two spaced apart blocking portions;
- said dispersing space being defined by at least said front clash part, said upper part, and said upwardly inclined bottom portion and said side plates of said bottom part.
