ABSTRACT:
A seed-sowing preparation press is a tool which will make quick and accurate impressions in nursery beds. The sowing press consists of a plurality of square rods each with screws at one end and receptacles at the other end so to be interconnected at will. On one side, and along the entire length of each rod, ruler impressions in inches and centimeters are printed. The rods are connected with a plurality of outer-press attachments, consisting of two square tubes, stacked and fixed perpendicularly, which allow for upper rods to cross perpendicular to lower rods, and thus forming the seed-sowing press framework. Along the length of the lower rods, a plurality of inner-press attachments, having only one square tube, are fastened at desired intervals within the framework. Two detachable thumbscrews fasten into the upper portion of each outer-press attachment and one detachable thumbscrew fastens into the upper portion of each inner-press attachment, securing rods and attachments at desired positions. On the bottom portion of both the outer-press (the lowest tube) and inner-press attachments a plurality of nipples and spacers are fastened by screwing into respective attachments. The nipples make the actual impression in the soil surface, preparing the ground for seed sowing. The spacers make it possible to adjust the depth for different seed-sowing specifications. Because of the connecting rods and outer-press attachments, there is great flexibility toward extending the size of the framework to fit any desired application.
