A Machine for Scattering Manure.
EDUARD SCHEIBLICH, of Kiebitzberg, near Meyenburg, in the Province of
Brandenburg, Germany, Land Owner do hereby declare the nature of this invention.
to be as follows:-
This machine which is mounted on wheels consists essentially of a chest holding
the manure, a revolving drum beneath, and distributing apparatus, consisting of.a
revolving wheel furnished with radial arms, and a band beneath attached near to
the drum.
The revolving drum closes the lower opening of the manure chest. The manure
is allowed to escape through an opening at the bottom at the back of the chest.
The manure is carried by the radial arms over the aforesaid band which has a
curve corresponding to the exterior circumference of the radial arms and is placed
so that very little room lies between the band. and the radial arms at one part of.
their revolution. The drum is caused to revolve by means of suitable gearing
connected with one of the wheels. This gearing can be disconnected when
required. The wheel with radial arms is also caused to revolve by means of
suitable gearing connected with the other wheel, and this also can be disconnected..

I, EDUARD SCHEIBLICH of Kiebitzberg, near Meyenburg, in the Province of
Brandenburg Germany, Land Owner, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The subject of the present invention is a manure scattering machine by which
the distribution of the manure over the field is effected in a uniform manner.
One style of execution of the manure scattering machine is shown in the annexed
drawing in which
Fig. 1 is a back view of the machine.
Fig. 2. is a side view from the left, the road-wheel being removed.
Fig. 3. is a side view from the right, the road-wheel being likewise taken off.
Fig. 4. is a section through A. B. in Fig. 1.
The manure scattering machine consists of a manure box a. which occupies the
entire length of the machine, and which is shut off, below, by a wooden revolving
drum b, which conveys the manure to the scattering apparatus proper, through a
slot c. (Fig. 3) arranged at the back of the manure box, immediately above the
drum. The scattering apparatus itself consists of a spiked scattering roller d. and
a "scattering bar" or rail e. which is fitted to the manure box, below the roller, so
as to be brought, with its anterior edge, into close contact with the periphery of
the manure feed-drum b. The scattering bar is shaped so as to correspond to the
Pai 71

page_text: external periphery of the manure scattering roller, and will therefore adapt itself
as closely as possible to the various spikes of the roller.
The feed-drum b. as well as the scattering roller d. are driven by the road-
wheels . by means of gearing arranged for suitable speeds.
In the annexed drawing the drum is driven from the left hand road-wheel, (Fig. 1
and Fig. 2) by means of the bevel gears g. h. the endless screw i. keyed to the
shaft of the last named gear, the helical cog-wheel k. and the gearings 1. m. the
bevel-gear g. being arranged so that it can be thrown out of gear by a lever n. in
order that the action of the drum may be suspended while the machine is travelling
by road.
The spiked scattering roller d. is set in motion by the cog-wheels o. p. (Figs. 1
and 2) and can be thrown out of gear by means of a coupling clutch r. controlled
by a lever g.
In very
broad machines, in order to obviate any bending or "spring" of the
roller (that is to say, in order to give it the requisite rigidity) it may be fitted
with intermediate bearings, between the terminal ones. The bearing s. is fastened
to the manure box.
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 :-
Manure scattering machines, characterized by a box (a) for the reception of the
manure, over a drum (b), together with a spiked scattering roller (d), and a
scattering bar or rail (e) which is bent so as to correspond to the diameter of the
scattering roller, both the drum and the scattering roller being driven, though
independently of each other, from the road-wheels, and being arranged so that
they can be thrown cut of gear while travelling on a road.
