Abstract
A spreading device for confined application of grain type materials along a well-defined path on a road from a conveyor of a storing tank mounted on a moving vehicle includes a chute member mounted thereon that receives the materials from the conveyor and substantially drops them generally vertically under gravity on the road along the path in proximity and in front of a roller. The latter stops the materials relative to the road and confines, or packs, them on the road. The spreading device is adapted to be mounted on either side of the vehicle, in line with its wheels.
Claims14
A spreading device for confined application of grain type materials along a well-defined path on a road from a conveyor of a storing tank mounted on a vehicle moving in a forward direction, said device comprising chute member and a packing member mounted on either said of said vehicle, said chute member being configured and sized for receiving said materials from said conveyor and substantially dropping said materials generally vertically under gravity directly on said road in proximity and in front of said packing member for stopping and packing said materials on said road along said path, whereby said materials are stopped relative to said road and confined along said path by said packing member as said vehicle moves ahead.
A spreading device for confined application of grain type materials along a well-defined path on a road from a conveyor of a storing tank mounted on a vehicle moving in a forward direction, said vehicle having a wheel engaging said road, said device comprising a chute member mounting on either said of said vehicle, said chute member being configured and sized for receiving said materials from said conveyor and substantially dropping said materials generally vertically under gravity directly on said road in proximity and in front said wheel for stopping and packing said materials on said road along said path, whereby said materials are stopped relative to said road and confined along said path by said wheel as said vehicle moves ahead.
