Patent ID: 8348103

Claim:
A seed treating assembly, comprising: frame structure including a plurality of upright, spaced apart legs configured to rest upon a support surface for the seed treating assembly and defining therebetween an open area, said legs and frame structure being stationary during operation of the seed treating assembly; an elevated seed bin assembly supported by said frame structure and including a plurality of individual, juxtaposed seed-receiving bins each having an upper bin inlet, a lower bin outlet, upright sidewall structure, and obliquely oriented sidewall structure, said sidewall structures located between said bin inlet and said bin outlet, and oriented to deliver seed to said bin outlet, each upright sidewall structure of each bin being in close adjacency with the upright sidewall structure of another bin, and with at least portions of the obliquely oriented sidewall structures thereof being generally opposed to and converging towards each other, and with the bin outlets proximal to each other; weight-monitoring structure operably coupled with each of said bins in order to individually monitor the weight of seed within each of the bins during operation of the seed treating assembly; an outlet device operably coupled with each of said lower bin outlets in order to regulate the flow of seed from the corresponding lower bin outlet; and a seed treating device located between said legs at least partially within said open area and beneath said bin assembly, said seed treating device having inlet structure within the open area, said proximal lower bin outlets each located to deliver seed to said device inlet structure.
