Method And Apparatus For Transplanting

View page
US Patent:
6634306, Oct 21, 2003
Filed:
Jul 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/208417
Inventors:
Frank W. Faulring - North Collins NY, 14111
International Classification:
A01C 1102
US Classification:
111105, 111117, 111900, 47901
Abstract:
A transplanter is provided a single centralized pneumatic feeder which will feed anywhere from 2 to 10 or more rows of seedlings at one time. The centralized pneumatic feeder concept allows the transplanter to operate with low velocity movement and still plant large numbers of seedlings. The seedlings are initially in plant trays designed so that the seedlings can be extracted from the bottom of the trays. To simplify seedling transfer, the pneumatic feeder includes an impulse-type extraction system and a pneumatic seedling transfer system is employed. This new system is simple in concept and has only two moving parts per row. This concept makes the transplanter system extremely adaptable to almost any configuration, for example 2-10 or more rows, bare ground fields, mulch covered beds, and even other manufacturers planters. The transplanter is equipped with a full tray magazine and an empty tray magazine to either side of a seedling support, which avoids the necessity of stopping the unit when one or two trays have been emptied.

Transplanting Apparatus

US Patent:
7905186, Mar 15, 2011
Filed:
Feb 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/699928
Inventors:
Frank W. Faulring - North Collins NY, US
Jonathan C. Gobel - Willows CA, US
Assignee:
The Morning Star Company - Woodland CA
Faulring Mechanical Devices, Inc - North Collins NY
International Classification:
A01C 11/00
US Classification:
111105, 111900, 111919
Abstract:
A transplanting apparatus which can plant virtually 100% of the seedlings from a nursery tray, while avoid skips when planting which may happen when seeds in a tray row fail to grow into seedlings. This is accomplished by picking up an entire row of seedlings from a tray, transferring the seedlings to a mechanism which eliminates gaps between seedlings, and then discharging the seedlings one at a time to the ground with a desired spacing between the seedlings while having full physical control of the seedlings. A root ball compressor is provided to provide better control of the seedlings as the compressed root balls are less likely to tip over, and the compressed root balls are easier to be grabbed by the pinch disks.

Transplanter

View page
US Patent:
7954439, Jun 7, 2011
Filed:
Jul 31, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/221081
Inventors:
Frank W. Faulring - North Collins NY, US
Peter M. Lomanto - Los Banos CA, US
Robert D. Force - Los Banos CA, US
Jason W. Faulring - Livonia NY, US
Assignee:
The Morning Star Company - Woodland CA
Faulring Mechanical Devices, Inc - North Collins NY
International Classification:
A01C 11/00
US Classification:
111105, 111900, 111919
Abstract:
Transplanter which can avoid skips when planting, which skips may occur when seeds in a tray row fail to grow into seedlings. This is accomplished by picking up an entire row of seedlings from a tray, transferring the seedlings to a mechanism which eliminates gaps between seedlings, and then discharging the seedlings one at time to the ground with a desired spacing between the seedlings. A novel tray indexing mechanism is provided which can index trays of varying sizes. The planting mechanism has an air knife mounted adjacent transfer disks for straightening out the foliage as stems of seedlings before they are received by the planting disks, and the planting and transfer disks may be moved towards and away from each other for seedlings of differing heights.

Foliage Separator For A Transplanter

View page
US Patent:
8573142, Nov 5, 2013
Filed:
Mar 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/421897
Inventors:
Frank W. Faulring - North Collins NY, US
Charles H. Hoffman - Springville NY, US
Chad S. Lookabill - Dayton OR, US
Assignee:
Faulring Mechanical Devices, Inc. - North Collins NY
Morning Star Company - Woodland CA
International Classification:
A01C 11/00
US Classification:
111105, 111919
Abstract:
Foliage separator for a transplanter, and more particularly an apparatus for separating the foliage of adjacent rows of seedlings which are grown in trays having a plurality of side-by side rows of seedling cells. The foliage separator includes a rotating beater bar, the beater bar being positioned at an angle with a progressive taper, the beater bar being mounted for movement with a carriage which carries a subassembly for picking up an entire row of seedlings from a nursery tray and positioning them for hand-off to a seedling loader group. An air knife may be mounted on the same carriage, the air knife facilitating separation by keeping the seedling foliage and stems up and helping the beater bar enter between adjacent rows.

Actuating Mechanism For A Ground-Engaging Tool

View page
US Patent:
49414160, Jul 17, 1990
Filed:
Dec 1, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/278673
Inventors:
Frank W. Faulring - North Collins NY
International Classification:
A01C 1102
A01B 4904
US Classification:
111102
Abstract:
An actuating mechanism (20) for a ground-engaging tool is arranged as a swinging parallelogram such that the tool has varying components of velocity in the horizontal and vertical directions. The mechanism is synchronized such that the tool has a rearwardly-directed velocity component substantially equal to the forward ground speed of the frame, when the tool is in the vicinity of its bottom dead center position. Hence, the tool has a substantially-zero net horizontal velocity as it engages the ground. The tool may include a burner head (25) and/or an injector mechanism (26) for planting a pneumatically-delivered seed-vermiculite mixture through a sheet of imperforate plastic mulch.
