专利汇可以提供Shrub baller with articulated digger support members专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A mobile machine for straddling a row of nursery shrubs and extracting selected ones of such shrubs from any desired location in the row without affecting the other plants. The machine comprises a straddle carrier frame mounted atop a pair of hydraulically driven crawler tracks, the frame side members and tracks being spaced transversely such that they may pass on either side of a particular row of shrubs in the area of separation between adjacent rows. The top of the straddle carrier frame is elevated sufficiently to clear the tops of the shrubs. A respective elongate arm extends forwardly along each side of the machine, each arm being pivoted for rotation about a common transverse axis adjacent the rear of the frame. Respective hydraulic cylinders selectively raise or lower the arms in unison about the axis. At the front of each such arm an extension section is pivotally attached for transverse rotation, such extension sections being actuated by respective hydraulic cylinders adapted for selectively rotating the extension sections in unison away from or toward the longitudinal centerline of the machine. At the forward end of each extension section is a half portion of a digging and balling assembly, each such portion including a pivotally depending digging member adapted to be rotated inwardly about a longitudinal axis toward the opposite digging member so as to extract a particular shrub from the ground while simultaneously forming a compacted ball of soil surrounding the root system.,下面是Shrub baller with articulated digger support members专利的具体信息内容。

1. A mobile machine for digging and balling nursery shrubs comprising: a. a mobile straddle carrier frame comprising a pair of transversely spaced vertical side frame members joined at their tops by a horizontal cross member so as to define an interior space within said members extending throughout the length of said frame and being open on both ends and at the bottom; b. a pair of transversely spaced support members, each mounted on a respective one of said side frame members on either side of said interior space; c. power means mounted on said frame for vertically reciprocating said transversely spaced support members in unison with respect to said frame; d. a pair of complementary digging members, each depending from a respective one of said transversely spaced support members; and e. second power means mounted on each of said transversely spaced support members for selectively moving said support members toward or away from one another.
2. The machine of claim 1 wherein said straddle carrier frame is mounted on a pair of crawler tracks and wherein shrouds are mounted along both the inside and outside of each said track for substantially covering the sides of said tracks throughout their length.
3. The machine of claim 1 wherein said straddle carrier frame is mounted on a pair of crawler tracks, each said track being driven by an individually controlled reversible hydraulic motor.
4. A mobile machine for digging and balling nursery shrubs comprising: a. a mobile frame; b. a pair of transversely spaced opposed support members mounted for vertical movement with respect to said frame; c. first mechanical power means for selectively raising and lowering said support members with respect to said frame; d. a pair of opposed complementary digging members, each pivotally depending from one of said support members sp as to rotate about a respective pivot axis toward one another, and each including a wall means which is not concentric about said pivot axis for retaining substantially all of the soil in the path of each said digging member as said members rotate toward one another and compacting said retained soil between said digging members; e. second mechanical power means mounted on each of said transversely spaced support members for moving said support members toward or away from one another; and f. third mechanical power means mounted on each of said support members for selectively rotating the bottom edges of said respective digging members about said respective pivot axes toward one another.
5. The machine of claim 4 further including a second pair of said digging members, said respective pairs being of different sizes, and including connecting means for interchangeably mounting either one of said pairs of digging members operatively on said support members.
6. A mobile machine for digging and balling nursery shrubs comprising: a. a mobile straddle carrier frame comprising a pair of transversely spaced vertical side frame members joined at their tops by a horizontal cross member so as to define an interior space within said members extending throughout the length of said frame and being open on both ends and at the bottom; b. a pair of transversely spaced, forwardly extending arms mounted along either side of said frame and pivotally connected thereto for rotation about a common transverse pivot axis; c. first power means interacting between said frame and said arms for selectively raising or lowering said forwardly extending arms in unison aboaut said pivot axis; d. a pair of transversely spaced arm extension sections extending forwardly in front of said frame, Each pivotally mounted to the forward end of a respective one of said arms so as to rotate transversely inwardly and outwardly with respect to the longitudinal centerline of said machine so as to form, in combination with said arms, a pair of transversely articulated support members extending along either side of said frame; e. second power means connected to said respective extension sections for selectively pivoting said extension sections inwardly or outwardly; and f. a pair of complementary digging means, each mounted on the forward end of a respective one of said extension sections, for digging into the ground at opposed locations to one another.
7. The machine of claim 6 wherein said digging means comprises respective opposed complementary digging members each forming half of an open-topped enclosure when they are joined together and each depending pivotally from a respective one of said extension sections so as to rotate about respective longitudinal pivot axes, said pivot axes being movable transversely inwardly and outwardly with respect to one another in response to said transverse rotation of said extension sections, and including third power means interacting between said extension sections and said digging members for selectively rotating said digging members toward one another to form said enclosure.
8. The machine of claim 7 wherein said enclosure formed by said digging members has a hemispherically shaped bottom.
9. The machine of claim 6 wherein the length of each of said articulated support members is sufficient when rotated upwardly by said first power means to lift the bottoms of said respective digging means at least as high as the top of said interior space defined by said straddle carrier frame.
10. The machine of claim 6 including removable coupling means for mounting said extension sections to said arms and to said second power means respectively.
