APPARATUS FOR APPLICATION OF ARBORICIDE MIXTURE ONTO STUMPS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01M7/00 

FIELD: equipment for suppressing of stumps during gathering of cut forest-and-shrub vegetation along canals, roads, power supply lines, may be used in forestry and amelioration in clearing of lands from shrub vegetation and small forest.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus has frame with eyelets for connection to base machine. In lower part of frame there is provided hollow pin resting along edges upon two carrier wheels within which wheels two hydraulic pumps are mounted for delivery of arboricide mixture from tank into hollow pin through bypass pipes. Pumps spring-loaded relative to hydraulic cylinder casings are disposed on bypass pipes. Poles with pivotally fixed levers spring-loaded relative to hollow pin are rigidly secured to lower part of hollow pin. Stump surface loosener is rigidly fixed to each of said levers. Hollow pin is communicating with tank cavity through bypass valve. Mixture feeding mechanism has two systems for simultaneous feeding of mixture onto stumps. One of said systems has mixture feeding valves mounted on hollow pin and sprayers. Valves are actuated by means of pusher positioned in lower part of each spring-loaded lever. In other of said systems, valves positioned on hollow pin are connected to pipelines fixed to spring-loaded levers. Said pipelines are connected to distribution channels provided within looseners.

EFFECT: enhanced biological action upon stumps and reduced consumption of arboricide mixture.
