Cultivation Air Seeder With Visually Enhanced Seed Hopper

View page
US Patent:
8616139, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Jun 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/157856
Inventors:
Jacob R. Riffel - Salina KS, US
Verne A. Hubalek - Lindsborg KS, US
Assignee:
Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc. - Salina KS
International Classification:
A01C 7/18
US Classification:
111 63, 111200
Abstract:
A cultivation air seeder has an ornamental facing around three sides of its large, metallic bulk seed hopper to enhance the appearance of the hopper and provide environmental protection for sensitive mechanical, electronic and hydraulic components. A front section of one facing panel on each side of the machine is hinged about a generally upright axis to allow the panel section to be opened and closed like a door for operator access to the components behind it. The facing can be stylishly molded from a synthetic resinous material or other non-metallic substance to facilitate manufacture and is disposed to conceal unsightly weld lines and other imperfections on the exterior surface of the hopper.

Steerable Agricultural Implement With Multi-Point Hitch

View page
US Patent:
20120232760, Sep 13, 2012
Filed:
Mar 8, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/043186
Inventors:
Verne Hubalek - Lindsborg KS, US
Assignee:
GREAT PLAINS MANUFACTURING, INCORPORATED - Salina KS
International Classification:
A01B 69/04
US Classification:
701 42, 2804231
Abstract:
A steerable agricultural implement configured to be coupled to a tractor by a multi-point hitch system that restrains side-to-side articulation between the tractor and the implement. The agricultural implement includes a steering controller that receives a positional attribute from a steering system of the tractor and controls a degree of pivot of a wheel assembly of the agricultural implement based on the positional attribute of the tractor steering system. The wheel assembly is configured with a steering actuator that is operable to pivot a portion of the wheel assembly without transmitting force beyond the wheel assembly, abutment stops to define maximum degrees of pivot of the portion of the wheel assembly and relieve the steering actuator without transmitting force beyond the wheel assembly, and a quick release free-wheel mechanism to enable a disconnected or “free wheel” operation of the wheel assembly independent of the steering actuator.

Seed Distribution Tower For An Air Seeder

View page
US Patent:
20120312211, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Jun 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/157890
Inventors:
Verne A. Hubalek - Lindsborg KS, US
Jacob R. Riffel - Salina KS, US
Assignee:
GREAT PLAINS MANUFACTURING, INCORPORATED - Salina KS
International Classification:
A01C 7/16
US Classification:
111175
Abstract:
The seed distribution tower of an air seeder splits a single, primary stream of conveying air and seeds into a plurality of secondary streams for delivery to openers that deposit the seeds into the ground as the seeder advances. As seeds enter the head of the tower in an upward vertical direction through an inlet at the bottom of the head, they are scattered 360 in a horizontal direction by an inverted, overhead distribution cone. The inlet through which the seeds enter the distribution head has an eased configuration to reduce turbulence and promote laminar flow within the head during the dramatic transition from vertical to horizontal movement. Sensitive components such as tram line valves, solenoid actuators, and blockage sensors are protectively housed within the interior of the distribution head to avoid exposure to hostile environmental elements.

Agricultural Implement Having Hopper Weighing System

View page
US Patent:
20120316673, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Jun 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/157967
Inventors:
Jacob R. Riffel - Salina KS, US
Verne A. Hubalek - Lindsborg KS, US
Assignee:
GREAT PLAINS MANUFACTURING, INCORPORATED - Salina KS
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
A01C 7/08
US Classification:
700240, 111170
Abstract:
An agricultural seeding implement has a seed hopper that is weighed continuously during field operations as the seed volume in the hopper progressively diminishes. The weight information is used to perform ongoing control functions on the implement. One embodiment uses the weight information to reduce the down pressure on compaction wheels of a wing section of the machine as a function of the diminishing weight of the hopper on the main section.

Cultivation Air Seeder Having Sequentially Operated Tools

View page
US Patent:
20120316736, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Jun 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/157943
Inventors:
Verne A. Hubalek - Lindsborg KS, US
Jacob R. Riffel - Salina KS, US
Assignee:
GREAT PLAINS MANUFACTURING, INCORPORATED - Salina KS
International Classification:
A01C 7/08
G06F 17/00
A01C 5/04
US Classification:
701 50, 111149
Abstract:
When the operator of a cultivation air seeder shifts the tractor valve to raise the cultivators and openers from the ground as the seeder prepares to turn around at the end of a field, the operating and control system of the seeder causes the cultivators to be raised first, followed in sequence by the trailing openers. The seed meter turns off as soon as the cultivators leave their lowered position, but the blower stays on so that seeds in the conduits downstream from the meter continue to be delivered to and deposited into the ground by the openers until the cultivators reach their raised position, whereupon the openers are raised. Depending upon the particular seeding mode selected by the operator, the cultivators and openers either lower simultaneously as the operator shifts the tractor valve to the lowering position when starting down the next pass, or the cultivators are lowered first, followed in sequence by the openers. Regardless of the selected seeding mode, the seed meter turns on as soon as the cultivators reach their lowered positions.

Sugar Centrifugal Screen Saver

View page
US Patent:
57208808, Feb 24, 1998
Filed:
Jun 24, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/669682
Inventors:
Ted D. Milner - Westminster CO
Verne A. Hubalek - Aurora CO
Assignee:
California Pellet Mill Company - Nashua NH
International Classification:
B01D 2126
US Classification:
210377
Abstract:
In a continuous sugar centrifugal, an imperforate thin, open ended, truncated cone, of high strength corrosion-resistant material is placed on the working screen within the centrifugal basket. The cone extends part way up the working screen and protects the working screen from damage from high impact particles being released from an accelerator bell.
