How the Planter Works

•May 3, 2012 • Leave a Comment

1. Setting Depth Control of Shovel

In order to set depth control of the shovel losen the lock shovel mechanism that is bolted through the shovel. Once loose you can open out the two brackets and move the shovel up the shovel moving mechanism on the frame of the main core. Once you have your desired lenght from base of core to end tip of shovel tighten up the lock shovel mechanism.

 

2. Movement of Inside Core Sapling Planter.

The movement ot the inside core saplin planter is controlled by the handle of the chestnut planter, which is linked to a gas spring and once you push the handle down that the gas spring will release and push the handle and inside core back up. The main core is double plated on the inside for a distance so when the inside core sapling planter moves back up that this part will take the pressure off the handle when the gas spring is fully extended.

 

3. Opening and Closing the Catch mechanism to place in Tree Sapling.

There is a connector cable running through a connector frame, which is inside the solid shaft. The connector cable catches the catch mechanism and it is the connector cable that opens up the catch mechanism so that the sapling can be placed in the planter. The catch cable wire catches in under the connecter which attaches on to the handle press. Once the press open handle is pressed it strains the connector cable and opens up the catch mechanism. Once the press open handle is released a spring presses against the catch cable wire and closes the catch mechanism. Once the handle is pressed down to plant the sapling the cable wire stays under tension because there is another spring in the solid shaft to ensure the wire stays under tension. Once the handle is dropped press open the handle to open the catch mechanism and plant the Sapling

 

4. Placeing in and removing Tree Sapling from Chestnut Planter.

Place the sapling in to the chestnut planter by placing it under the catch mechanism of the chestnut planter. It is important to ensure that the saplings roots are placed on the underneath of the planter to ensure the successful plantation of the sapling. Once planted open up the catch mechanism and lift the chestnut planter up and away from the planted sapling. Pack around the soil with your foot when finished.
