Abstract

The implement for incorporating seeds into the soil comprises a chassis provided with a header ( 1 ) for coupling to the tractor and a transverse side member ( 15 ) with wheels ( 12 ) and hooks ( 13 ) for mounting the ends of chain segments ( 2 ) with a trolley ( 3 ). The chain segments have swivel joints ( 22 ) and rotating links ( 21 ), which form front spacers mounted on the hooks of the transverse side member ( 151 ) and the rear spacers mounted on the trolley. The trolley comprises a longitudinal bar ( 31 ) with a rear frame ( 32 ) provided with bearings ( 33 ) for the shaft of a toothed roller ( 34 ) that rotates when the incorporating implement is moving. The front of the longitudinal bar has a support ( 35 ) with pins ( 36 ) for mounting the swivel joints of the chain segments. The toothed roller consists of a shaft ( 37 ) with welded radial plates ( 38 ). The link of the chain segments is formed by an oblong link ( 21 ) with welded radial plates ( 23 ) and a spider wheel ( 24 ) attached to the branches.

Claims (10)

1 . An agricultural implement for incorporating seeds into the soil comprising:

a chassis ( 1 ) provided with a header ( 11 ) for coupling to a tractor and a transverse side member ( 15 ) with end wheels ( 12 ) and end hooks ( 13 ) for fastening the ends of the chain ( 2 ), characterized by having two chain segments ( 2 ) and a trolley ( 3 ), the chain segments ( 2 ) being composed of rotating links ( 21 ) and end swivel joints ( 22 ), the end swivel joints ( 22 ) being mounted on the end hooks ( 13 ) of the transverse side member ( 15 ) and on the trolley ( 3 ) and the trolley ( 3 ) being formed by a structure with bearings ( 33 ) for a toothed rotating roller ( 34 );

the trolley ( 3 ) comprising a longitudinal bar ( 31 ) with a rear frame ( 32 ) provided with bearings ( 33 ) for the shaft of the toothed roller ( 34 ) moved by the displacement of the incorporating implement and having at the front of the longitudinal bar ( 31 ) a support ( 35 ) with pins ( 36 ) for mounting the end swivel joints ( 22 ) of the chain segments ( 2 );

wherein the toothed roller ( 34 ) is comprised of a shaft ( 37 ) with welded radial plates ( 38 ); and

the chain segments ( 2 ) comprising a plurality of links ( 21 ) provided with a spider wheel ( 24 ) attached between the links.

2 . The agricultural implement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the chain segments ( 2 ) are formed by a plurality of oblong links ( 21 ) with welded radial plates ( 23 ).

3 . The agricultural implement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the links of the chain segments ( 2 ) are formed by toothed rollers ( 25 ) with end hooks ( 26 ).

4 . The agricultural implement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the links of the chain segments ( 2 ) are formed by cylindrical bodies ( 27 ) with end hooks ( 28 ).

5 . The agricultural implement according to claim 1 , characterized in that a reservoir with a seed metering device ( 14 ) is mounted on the transverse side member ( 15 ) of the chassis ( 1 ).

6 . The agricultural implement according to claim 1 , characterized by having two front chain segments ( 2 ′) mounted on the transverse side member ( 15 ′) by way of the swivel joints ( 22 ) and on a tractor coupling.
