Chain saw guide bar and method of using a guide bar for spraying liquid on a sawn surface through a plurality of orifices formed in a guide bar side plate. The liquid is introduced into an inlet portion of a passage formed in a center plate of the guide bar and is conducted forwardly to the orifices. The liquid is sprayed from the orifices at equal pressures, and in spray directions having a component oriented parallel to a centerline of the guide bar. Thus, by adjusting the velocity of the sprayed liquid, the length dimension of the area sprayed can be adjusted. |

Plant-cutting shears with a chemical applicator includes two cutting blades, each having a handle. A resilient fluid-absorptive element capable of holding a quantity of a systemic herbicide or other liquid plant-treatment chemical is provided. The chemical-holding element is mounted on the shears such that a surface of the element lies approximately in the cutting plane of the blades, but with the element isolated from fluid contact with the overlapping active areas of the blades. In operation, with a single cutting motion of the shears, a user may cut a plant and cause the resilient chemical-holding element to make direct fluid-applying physical contact with the plant wounds. |

A fluid application system for the cutting of individual flower stems. A liquid absorbent sponge is attached to the cutting blade of hand held clippers. Opposite the sponge is a compression plate mounted on the jaw of the same clippers so as to restrict the further movement of the extended sponge surface as the blade and anvil are brought together. The water filled sponge is compressed as the stem between the blade and anvil is cut, simultaneously releasing a quantity of water to the cut area and preventing the introduction of air into the flower stem's vascular system. |

A fluid spraying saw bar, and a chain sawing apparatus, such as a tree harvester, having such a saw bar are provided for selectively applying a predetermined fluid pattern of urea on a tree stump during felling, and of paint on a log end during bucking. A bar member supports an endless saw chain and has an elongate chamber therein to receive pressurized fluid from a harvester reservoir. Plural fluid emitting holes extend from the chamber to at least one side surface of the bar member. A tubular or a dual valve plate flow controller is slidably received in the chamber operatively engaged by a harvester actuator to control flow through the fluid emitting holes. For a rot-preventing urea spray, the pattern is adjusted for logs of varying diameter. For a marking spray, a striping spray pattern is selected in response to a harvester computer generated signal to indicate log length, diameter, mill designators, and the like. A method is also provided of selectively and controllably providing a predetermined spray pattern of fluid on a surface formed by the cutting action of the chain saw during cutting. |

An elongated handle supports a fixed pruner anvil and a saw attached thereto. A movable pruner blade is attached to the anvil and bears a movable pulley. A flexible cord passing over the movable pulley and a fixed pulley attached to the anvil can move the blade upwardly towards the anvil and thus cut tree limbs interposed between the blade and anvil. The handle also supports a pressurized aerosol can containing paint and propellant, the can having a conventional depressable nipple on its top which permits a jet of paint and propellant to be ejected from the can when deppresed, A solid vertically elongated rod is disposed above the nipple, with the top end of the tube being attached to the blade and moving downwardly towards the nipple as the blade moves upwardly towards the anvil. The tube depresses the nipple and thus causes a jet of paint to be sprayed. A spring presses the blade downwardly away from the anvil. |

The device for simultaneously cutting and treating a plant stem is essentially characterized in that it comprises means to coat a cutting blade (9) with a viscous product (20) supplied through a channel traversing the blade (9) and cutting back the stem to be cut by means of a back cutting blade (84) on the cutting edge (10) of the blade (9) in order to achieve both the cutting of the stem and the treatment of the wound made to the stem by coating the wound with the product (20) which is a treatment product. The product (20) is contained in a cartridge (19) arranged within a handle (13) supporting the cutting blade (9). The device may be applied particularly to the cutting and the treatment of vine, fruit trees and other plants of the same type. |

Disclosed is a self-guided blossom picker that uses a vision system to identify and locate blossoms or inflorescence growing on a plant. The device is intended to be used on a farm and towed by a tractor, for example, or it can be self-propelled. As the device is moved over the blossom the image data captured by the vision system is sent to a machine vision module, which interprets the data and identifies a location of blossom. A controller uses the location data to command a picker to the proper location. A cutter on the picker is actuated to remove the blossom. |

A clipper and herbicide or other chemical dispenser comprises a pair of pivotal handle members that are squeezed together to operate a shear mechanism and a chemical dispenser that dispenses chemical directly on the end of the cut stem after the stem has been cut. Preferably, a clamping mechanism clamps a plant stem in place below the shears while the shears cut the stem. The chemical dispenser includes a liquid pump actuated by the handles that pumps a discreet amount of chemical through an opening in a cutting blade at a time when the opening is aligned with the cut end of the plant stem. The dispenser has an outlet mounted on a dispenser arm that is moved away from the opening in the cutting blade by the upper plant stem as the stem is being cut. When the upper stem falls away, the dispenser arm pivots back to align the outlet with the opening in the cutting blade for chemical dispensation on the lower cut stem. |

A flower stem cutter unit includes a small decanter sufficient to cover the lower end of a flower stem projecting into the decanter. A guillotine blade unit is secured to a cover and projects into the decanter. A guide wall projects inwardly from a cover opening and terminates in a vertical fixed blade support wall having a flat cutting blade secured thereto. The wall and blade have an opening to receive the stem. The movable blade unit has a supporting stem extending through said cover and an integral vertical blade support abutting said fixed blade. A guillotine blade is fixed to the inner face of the vertical blade support to form the integrated unit. The blade and is secured in angular relationship to the fixed blade and moves progressively over the cutting edge of the fixed blade. A finger gripping tab projects outwardly from the movable blade support for periodic replacement of the movable blade unit. A removable guard unit is releasably secured to the fixed blade support and is located in outwardly spaced relation to the fixed blade and the movable blade of the unit. The guard unit includes a bottom lip projecting toward the support to enclose the blade unit. The lip also locates the stem end for cutting. |
