Abstract
Abstract A spray support frame for use with an earth working apparatus, such as a planter, disc, or the like, which includes a mobile frame drawn by a tractor or the like and a container which is adapted to contain spray material and suitably carried on the frame or tractor and a duct connecting same to a spray nozzle. The spray support frame includes a pair of opposed rails each positioned and maintained in clamping engagement with a respective opposite side of a support member mounted on the mobile frame. The support frame including an arm having the spray nozzle mounted on one end thereof, said arm being pivotally mounted on one of the rails and engaged with the other rail to maintain the arm in a selected position to thereby position the spray nozzle at a selected position relative to the ground surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A spray support frame for use in an agricultural apparatus, said spray support frame comprising: a. first and second opposed rails each positioned in engagement with a support member on an agricultural apparatus; b. means for urging each of said first and second rails into and maintaining same in clamped engagement with the support member; c. an arm pivotally mounted on one of said first and second rails; d. spray means supported on said arm; e. means communicating said spray means with a source of spray material; and f. means on the other of said first and second rails for frictionally engaging said arm to retain said arm and said spray means thereon in a selected position relative to a ground surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A spray support frame for use in an agricultural apparatus, said spray support frame comprising: a. first and second opposed rails each positioned in engagement with a support member on an agricultural apparatus; b. means for urging each of said first and second rails into and maintaining same in clamped engagement with the support member; c. an arm pivotally mounted on one of said first and second rails; d. spray means supported on said arm; e. means communicating said spray means with a source of spray material; and f. means on the other of said first and second rails for frictionally engaging said arm to retain said arm and said spray means thereon in a selected position relative to a ground surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
71 words
first and second elongated members positioned between said side-by-side members of each of said rails and each being movable along said rails and engageable with a respective one of the opposite sides of said support member, said first and second elongated members being adapted to move said first and second rails into and maintain same in clamped engagement with said support member to effect support of said spray support frame thereon;
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
71 words
first and second elongated members positioned between said side-by-side members of each of said rails and each being movable along said rails and engageable with a respective one of the opposite sides of said support member, said first and second elongated members being adapted to move said first and second rails into and maintain same in clamped engagement with said support member to effect support of said spray support frame thereon;
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
102 words
A spray support frame as set forth in claim 1 wherein: a. said first and second rails are each spaced elongated side-by-side members; b. said arm has opposite sides thereof positioned between said side-by-side members of the other of said first and second rails; and c. said means for frictionally engaging said arm to retain said arm and said spray means thereon in a selected position comprises means for effecting and maintaining clamping engagement of the side-by-side members of the other of said first and second rails with said arm thereby retaining same and said spray means thereon in a selected position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
68 words
an arm having an intermediate portion thereof pivotally mounted on one of said rails, said arm having generally flat opposite sides, said arm having a portion thereof positioned between the side-by-side members of the other of said rails, said arm having said spray nozzle mounted on one end thereof, said arm being swingable to move said spray nozzle to a selected position relative to a ground surface; and
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
68 words
an arm having an intermediate portion thereof pivotally mounted on one of said rails, said arm having generally flat opposite sides, said arm having a portion thereof positioned between the side-by-side members of the other of said rails, said arm having said spray nozzle mounted on one end thereof, said arm being swingable to move said spray nozzle to a selected position relative to a ground surface; and
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
