Improvements in Apparatus for Distributing Liquids and Manures to
Crops.
I, JOHN ERNEST ATTERBURY, of Clare College, Cambridge, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-.
This invention relates to apparatus which can readily be attached to and
detached from an ordinary cart.
A chain wheel is fixed to the hub of the cart wheel by hooks passing through
it and engaging with the spokes, nuts being provided on the screw stems of
the hooks by which the chain wheel can be drawn into firm contact with the
hub, or the chain wheel may be attached to the hub by a split ring carried
by it and tightened around the latter by a nut and screw or nuts and screws.
This chain wheel drives by means of a chain a second chain wheel fixed on
the driving shaft of the distributing apparatus.
The bearings of this shaft are provided with clamps by which they can be
fixed to the framing of the cart.
The distributing apparatus may be of any ordinary type and is either sup-
ported by the bearings of the shaft or is attached to the cart by separate clamps.

pump leading to the barrel q. is the pipe leading from the pump to the
pipe s of the spraying apparatus. is a safety valve on a pipe leading both
to the barrel q. The spraying apparatus consists of three pipes s¹s jointed
together by swivel joints and provided with nozzles . These pipes can be
folded together (for passing through gateways) as shown in Figure 2, and in
plan in Figure 3, or can be extended as shown in dotted lines to the left of
Figure 3. The pipes are supported on three rods tt't. The rod is secured
to the pummels of the cart by brackets and screws r. The rods slide in
loops fixed to the rod and are secured in any position by screws ..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
17
1. The combination with an ordinary cart of driving mechanism removably
clamped to one of its wheels and a distributing apparatus carried by it and
actuated by the driving mechanism.
2. The method of clamping the driving wheel to the cart wheel substantially
as described and illustrated in the drawings.
3. Apparatus for distributing liquids and liquid manures substantially as
described and illustrated in the drawings.
