Soil Aeration Tine

View page
US Patent:
6513603, Feb 4, 2003
Filed:
Mar 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/821373
Inventors:
Scott W. Bjorge - Owatonna MN
Assignee:
Planet Air Turf Products, LLC - Owatonna MN
International Classification:
A01B 4502
US Classification:
172 22, 172556
Abstract:
A soil aeration tine having a nose or apex end for soil penetration with a set of soil fracture faces carried thereon to fracture a portion of the soil in engagement with the soil aeration tine and a cutting tube positioned on the soil aeration tine with the soil cutting tube cutting a soil plug free of a further portion of the soil with the soil penetration tine having a lateral face for scooping out soil as the soil aeration tine is removed from the soil.

Scott W. Bjorge - Owatonna MN
Assignee:
Planet Air Turf Products, LLC - Owatonna MN
International Classification:
A01B 7900
US Classification:
172 1, 172 22
Abstract:
A soil aeration tine having a nose or apex end for soil penetration with a set of soil fracture faces carried thereon to fracture a portion of the soil in engagement with the soil aeration tine and a cutting tube positioned on the soil aeration tine with the soil cutting tube cutting a soil plug free of a further portion of the soil with the soil penetration tine having a lateral face for scooping out soil as the soil aeration tine is removed from the soil.

US Patent:
6983806, Jan 10, 2006
Filed:
Feb 10, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/775998
Inventors:
Scott W. Bjorge - Owatonna MN, US
Assignee:
PlanetAir Turf Products, LLC - Owatonna MN
International Classification:
A01B 45/02
US Classification:
172 22, 172 1
Abstract:
A soil aeration tine having a nose or apex end for soil penetration with a set of soil fracture faces carried thereon to fracture a portion of the soil in engagement with the soil aeration tine and a cutting tube positioned on the soil aeration tine with the soil cutting tube cutting a soil plug free of a further portion of the soil with the soil penetration tine having a lateral face for scooping out soil as the soil aeration tine is removed from the soil.

Soil Aerator

View page
US Patent:
7055617, Jun 6, 2006
Filed:
Aug 11, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/638953
Inventors:
Scott W. Bjorge - Owatonna MN, US
David R. Maas - Owatonna MN, US
Assignee:
PlanetAir Turf Products, LLC - Owatonna MN
International Classification:
A01B 45/02
US Classification:
172 22, 172123, 172125
Abstract:
A soil aeration apparatus may include aeration tines that are actuated by a relatively compact gear system that reduces the size and weight of the apparatus. In addition, a soil aeration apparatus may operate without a centrally disposed support shaft, thus enabling the tine-holder shafts to be positioned closer to one another and reducing the size of the apparatus.

Soil Aerator Assembly

US Patent:
7070005, Jul 4, 2006
Filed:
Feb 10, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/776007
Inventors:
David R. Maas - Owatonna MN, US
Scott W. Bjorge - Owatonna MN, US
Assignee:
PlanetAir Turf Products, LLC - Owatonna MN
International Classification:
A01B 45/00
US Classification:
172 22, 172497, 172265
Abstract:
In certain embodiments a soil aerator may include a hinged frame assembly that cooperates with one or more weight transferring systems adapted to permit an aeration subassembly to lift off the ground when an aeration tine impacts a hard obstacle such as a rock in the soil. The weight transferring systems may in the preferred embodiments be calibrated so that only minimal upward force, such as that caused by impact of an aeration tine with a rock, may cause the aeration subassembly to lift thereby significantly reducing or preventing damage to the aeration tines and drive assemblies and substantially prolonging the life of the aerator.

US Patent:
7096968, Aug 29, 2006
Filed:
Mar 12, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/387092
Inventors:
David R. Maas - Owatonna MN, US
Scott W. Bjorge - Owatonna MN, US
Assignee:
PlanetAir Turf Products, LLC - Owatonna MN
International Classification:
A01B 45/02
US Classification:
172 22, 172 1
Abstract:
A soil aeration device may include a plurality of arcuate blades mounted to an assembly adapted to rotate and translate the blades proximate a ground surface, thereby forming aeration pockets in the soil. In certain embodiments, the arcuate tines penetrate and fracture the soil while minimizing the amount of soil lifted from the pocket deposited on the top of the soil. In various embodiments, a planetary gear assembly imparts to the tine a translational and rotational movement which creates a fractured pocket in the soil while minimizing the amount of soil lifted from the pocket and deposited on the surface of the soil. In still other embodiments, the arcuate tine may have mounted thereon a coring tube that cuts and removes a plug from the pocket formed in the soil.

Aerating A Ground Surface

US Patent:
7204317, Apr 17, 2007
Filed:
Jun 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/866939
Inventors:
David R. Maas - Owatonna MN, US
Scott W. Bjorge - Owatonna MN, US
Assignee:
PlanetAir Turf Products, LLC - Owatonna MN
International Classification:
A01B 45/00
US Classification:
172 22
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the invention include an aerator that provides a shifting means adapted to alter the path of the aeration tines so that they do not impact the ground surface, the shifting being effected without lifting the entire aerator from the ground surface. Some embodiments of an aerator further include an energy modulation system that is capable of relieving a shock to the gear system caused by an aeration tine impacting debris, rocks or a hardened portion in the ground.
