Abstract:
1. An apparatus for application of a liquid or liquid-solid solution to soil, comprising: frame means, adapted for releasable connection to a vehicle to permit passage of such apparatus over soil; conduit means, having a distal end and a proximal end, adapted at said distal end to be releasibly coupled and in fluid communication with a source of said liquid or liquid-solid solution, pivotably coupled to said frame means so as to permit pivotable movement thereof in a substantially horizontal plane about a vertical axis extending proximate said proximal end of said conduit means; a pivot member, said pivot member coupled at one end thereof to said conduit means at a location intermediate said proximal end and said distal end, and pivotably coupled at an opposite end thereof to said frame means; a manifold portion at said proximal end of said conduit means, aligned substantially along said vertical axis and adapted to rotate about said vertical axis; and a plurality of flexible tube members, in fluid communication respectively with said manifold portion and extending radially outwardly therefrom, each adapted to permit delivery of said liquid or liquid-solid solution to said soil.
