Definitions

  • a vehicular trailer is disclosed particularly adapted for distributing fluent material such as salt or sand or the like upon a roadway or other surface, wherein the slinger [54] Q plate is rotatably driven by means of a pair of friction wheels 2 Cl l D disposed with their axes at right angles to each other.
  • One of guns rawmg the wheels is adjustable axially with respect to the other of the [52] U.S. Cl 239/684 wheels, whereby the rotational speed of the slinger plate may [51] Int.
  • Cl A01c 17/00 be substantially continuously adjusted regardless of the rota- [50] Field of Search 239/673, tional speed of the driving means.
  • the slinger plate is mounted 681, 684, 687, 689, 683; 74/197 upon a horizontally swingable arm so as to be swingable away from the discharge end of a screw conveyor, permitting access [56] Ree'emes cued to the conveyor for cleaning or the like.
  • the present invention relates to a vehicular trailer having a spray or distributor means for fluent material including a driven slinger plate.
  • Spray mechanisms of this type must be able to be manufactured at a cost which can be afforded even by small communities.
  • This drive means must not only permit the variation of the rotational speed of the slinger plate, but it must at the same time be constructed such that the channel for the feeding worm or screw conveyor is accessible from the rear of the device, such worm conveyor feeding the material to be sprayed, for example sand or salt, or both, to the slinger plate.
  • the vehicular trailer according to this invention is characterized in that the drive means for the slinger plate is constructed as a friction wheel drive with an axially movable friction wheel driving a friction disc connected to the slinger plate.
  • FIGURE of drawing shows schematically a preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention, viewed from the rear.
  • a receptacle or hopper 1 containing the fluent material to be sprayed is mounted on a single-axle undercarriage or frame 2, whereby the fluent materials, in a manner not further shown, reach the effective zone of operation of a feed worm conveyor.
  • the rearward open end 3a of channel 3 of the feed worm conveyor can be seen from the drawing.
  • the drive means of the slinger plate 4 is driven from axle 5 of the undercarriage by means of a chain drive 6 as well as a belt drive 7 upon the axially displaceable friction wheel 8 which cooperates with friction disc 9, the latter being operably connected through the agency of the substantially vertically extending shaft 14 to the slinger plate 4.
  • Friction disc 9 and slinger plate 4 are together secured by means of shaft 14 in straddling fashion upon an arm 11 which is pivotable about a vertical axis 10 at one end thereof, with the free end Ila of said arm 11 being releasably connected to a longitudinal sup port means 12 of the undercarriage by any suitable latch means or the like.
  • a vehicular trailer arrangement comprising an undercarriage, hopper means for fluent material supported by said undercarriage, means defining a feed conveyor disposed beneath said hopper means for receiving fluent material from said hopper means, said feed conveyor having a lengthwise axis and means defining a discharge opening for the fluent material, a distributor mechanism for the fluent material including a driven slinger plate disposed beneath said discharge opening of said feed conveyor for receiving fluent material therefrom, a substantially vertically extending shaft carrying said slinger plate at its lower end region and serving to drive said slinger plate at variably selectable driving speed, variable drive means for said slinger plate, said variable drive means including a friction wheel drive means comprising an axially displaceable friction wheel and a friction disc, said friction disc being supported at the upper end region of said vertically extending shaft carrying said slinger plate, said axially displaceable friction wheel being variably positionable with respect to said friction disc to selectively provide variable rotational speeds for said slinger plate, a pivotal support arm
