Latest Patents
Ryan Pinfold holds a patent for a "Tool control system for agricultural seeders." This invention features a seeder that includes a frame on ground wheels, defining tool bars for seeding elements spaced across the frame. Each seeding element consists of a pair of parallel arms connected to a tool bar bracket, forming a parallel linkage that allows for up and down movement of a support arm. This support arm is connected at the rear end and carries a packer wheel. A spring applies a downward force on the parallel linkage, which increases as the parallel arms pivot upwardly and decreases as they pivot downwardly. A control device is integrated to raise and lower the tool bar in response to a detected sensor value, allowing for adjustments in the angle of the parallel linkage and the spring force. Additionally, a cam-controlled double rack adjustment enables users to change the seeding depth effectively.
