ABSTRACT:
A distributor of granular material for the treatment of forage is disclosed including an air manifold suspended by a parallelogram system from a dispenser. The lower ends of the arms of the parallelogram system are pivotably and slideably mounted to the manifold by bolts extending from the air manifold through apertures formed in the arms to allow the air manifold to slide as the metering rate of the dispenser is adjusted. The discharge tubes for the granular material terminate beyond and below the air tubes of the air manifold. The free ends of the air tubes are inwardly radiused to create a protrusion for detecting air flowing in the air tube longitudinally past and around the discharge tube laterally towards the free end of the discharge tube to create a partial vacuum at the free end of the discharge tube to prevent the granular material from clogging the space between the discharge and air tubes. The air inlet of the fan is located intermediate but off center of the first and second air tubes to provide even air flow therethrough. The flowing air including the suspended granular material is dispersed by smooth bore plastic hoses connected intermediate the air tubes and spreaders. In a first form, the spreader is a 90.degree. street plumbing elbow and in an alternate form, the spreader is in the shape of a duct foot including an inlet oriented at an angle in the order of 45.degree. to an impingement plate having upstanding, radially extending and circumferentially spaced, vane plates.
