    HISTORY OF THE INVENTION
    1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [003] This invention is generally directed to the field of agricultural machinery, and more particularly, it relates to a pre-planting preparation instrument used generally in combination with a seed planting device. Specifically, the invention relates to rolling basket soil preparation instruments, refuse removal or sweeping devices and coulter devices, usually used in conjunction with a seed planting instrument in which the rolling basket, garbage broom and / or coulter can be used in various combinations and can have an independent height or aspect of adjustment of use.

    II. RELATED TECHNIQUE [004] In the spring, before planting, farmers must prepare their fields to accept the seed. Many soil preparation instruments have been designed and are used to condition the soil in preparation for planting. Traditional agriculture includes both primary and secondary soil preparation tasks to prepare the soil such as plowing, leveling, cultivating and compacting the field. Leveling is an example of a primary soil preparation method and compaction is an example of a secondary soil preparation method.
    [005] Primary soil preparation is a first pass over the ground using a soil conditioning instrument attached to the rear of a tractor that works deep into the soil. The soil is usually worked over four inches deep to break up accumulations in the soil, remove air pockets and destroy weeds deep in the soil. Secondary soil preparation involves another passage over the same soil, at a more shallow depth, using instruments that are generally attached to the rear of the primary soil preparation unit whereas the secondary soil preparation unit follows the primary soil preparation unit . The secondary tillage unit usually works the soil at a depth of about two inches.
    [006] The secondary soil preparation unit is usually a final conditioning tool to prepare the soil for planting.
    [007] Such units can pull out crop residues, or move them out of the way of the lines to be
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 7/45
    3/33 planted, break soil accumulations and break any crust on the soil surface, provide seed furrows, weed control, incorporate chemicals into the soil, and plow and firm the soil closest to the surface.
    [008] The rolling basket sowing finishers represent an important type of secondary soil conditioning instrument.
    [009] Rolling baskets are primarily used as soil leveling devices to break and minimize soil agglomerations and remove air pockets from the soil. Farmers derive great benefits from using rolling baskets as a means of preparing secondary soil to provide level soil for planting. The ability to break up clumps in the soil, remove air pockets and incorporate chemicals usually leads to better crop productivity at harvest.
    [010] In addition to the rolling basket sowing finishers, other agricultural instruments are also generally used in preparing the soil for planting. This includes a garbage sweeping device that includes a pair of pointed discs normally mounted in a triangular mount that are used to move debris out of the way prior to soil conditioning. Other soil conditioning tools that can be assembled before seed planting instruments include coulter devices that use a pointed steel wedge that cuts vertically into V and provides a shallow groove through the soil.
    [011] Thus, it would be beneficial if a secondary soil preparation operation using a basket of
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 8/45
    4/33 bearing would be advantageously combined with a planting operation so that it could take immediate advantage of the soil in condition for planting by making the planting project during the same passage over a field. In this way, linking the preparation of the rolling basket soil for use in conjunction with a seed planting instrument would be desirable.
    [012] However, the use and effectiveness of rolling baskets or other soil conditioning instruments is largely limited by the condition of the soil. If the soil is too wet, the soil conditioning instruments in the rolling basket can become clogged and clogged with soil that makes them useless for further conditioning the soil until they are emptied again. When a farmer realizes that areas of soil in a field are too wet to use such instruments, he usually anticipates the use of such soil conditioning instruments for the season. This means that much of the soil may not be properly treated and an agricultural instrument will remain unusable. This is not a desirable or economically effective situation for farmers.
    [013] Therefore, it would also be beneficial to provide an arrangement or mechanism that allows the intermittent use of a soil conditioning instrument, particularly a rolling basket sowing finisher, and / or a planter in a field where the soil areas are dry enough to use, but where there are also areas that are too wet for use. Such a device allows a farmer to grow above-ground and out-of-use rolling basket seed finishers when they reach a section of a field
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 9/45
    5/33 where the soil is very wet and consequently allow the rolling basket finisher to be lowered and reconnected with the soil in areas where the soil is suitable for use.
    [014] Devices of this type have already been developed. For example, US20100275827 refers to a rolling basket preparation instrument used in conjunction with a seed planting instrument in which the rolling basket can have an independent height adjustment aspect.
    [015] Garbage removal or garbage sweeping devices represent another type of equipment that can be advantageously added to a harvest line planter to handle amounts of crop residue frequently present in a field to be replanted, particularly if no preparation agricultural soil is being employed. The minimal or no agricultural preparation leaves an amount of crop residue in a field that can interfere with subsequent sowing operations and therefore needs to be moved away from the planted rows. Garbage brooms usually include pairs of angled discs with radially directed teeth or tips that move the waste out of the way before planting. Garbage brooms are usually mounted so that angled discs form a V-shape and may or may not overlap. An example is disclosed in US7451712, which relates to agricultural devices for cleaning and cultivating the soil and, if desired, simultaneously fertilizing the soil.
    [016] A problem associated with the operation of garbage sweepers is controlling the depth of operation of the garbage
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 10/45
    6/33 points of the disc in the field. Some of the present refuse scanning devices are mounted at a fixed vertical distance from a tool bar on a planter. The height is adjustable between a series of fixed vertical location settings only. There is no independent control over the force exerted by the instrument. Some other current garbage scanners use air cylinders to modulate resistance in one direction.
    [017] This form, if the lift force or downward pressure force on the waste scanner could be controlled and adjusted as needed, would present a distinct advantage.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [018] The present concept is related to the combination of said conditioning instrument in the form of rolling basket sowing finishers with planters to accomplish multiple tasks in a single pass. One aspect of the present concept concerns the assembly of the seed finishers in the rolling basket on the planting equipment. Another aspect of the present concept is related to an assembly set for a soil conditioning instrument in the form of a rolling basket sowing finisher. The assembly set is for individual rolling baskets that are a part of a plurality of such soil conditioning instruments generally arranged in an aligned manner spaced on a multi-row planter, seeder or other instrument, which is used to distribute seeds in the soil , tied and pulled by a tractor or other main engine.
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 11/45
    7/33 [019] Certain achievements of the mounting set include a height-adjustable mounting arrangement for each of the rolling basket floor conditioning instruments. Each height adjustment mechanism includes a driver for adjusting the relative height of a corresponding rolling basket individually, and an associated control system for operating the height adjustment mechanism. The driver preferably includes a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, which can be single or double actuated. It is also an aspect of the present invention for the assemblies and associated instruments to be combined with a planter and arranged in such a way that the soil conditioning of the rolling basket takes place in front of each individual seed planting unit in a planter.
    [020] In a preferred embodiment, each mounting set for each rolling basket soil conditioning instrument can be controlled from a central control system that includes control switches or a control block, or the like, having a control device associated with each rolling basket located in the cab of an associated tractor. In this way, a user is able to adjust the height of each mounting set individually and, therefore, the height of each associated soil conditioning rolling basket instrument can be adjusted individually as needed.
    [021] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a plurality of actuating devices such as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, or the like, with the necessary controls can be connected to be operated
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 12/45
    8/33 from the cab of a tractor or other main engine of the agricultural instrument device through the conventional manner in a well known manner.
    [022] In other embodiments, rolling basket devices can be attached to the planter and other mechanical devices can be used to apply varying degrees of force to the soil being processed. These include compression or torsion springs, inflatable air bags, spring-loaded shock-absorbing devices, or the like.
    [023] Air bag systems can be single or double actuated and an embodiment is shown with double air bags. Single and double air bag systems are also shown in the designs in which sweeping devices and / or coulter devices are connected to the planter.
    [024] With respect to the various agricultural instruments that are associated with sowing, it will be realized that various combinations of instruments can be mounted on a planter and this can be done in a number of ways. In this way, the waste scanners can be mounted together with plowshare on the same mounting frame or on separate spaced mounting frames. A basket and coulter combination can be used in which the basket basket device is separated into side-by-side sections and the coulter device is mounted between the basket basket sections. This provides a combining instrument that can also be fitted with a refuse scanner. A scanning instrument can be mounted with a single rolling basket or coulter device.
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 13/45
    9/33 [025] Whether soil conditioning instruments are mounted individually or in combination, the use of each can be controlled using different systems. A system of uses features an adjustable downward force device, only an air bag or other device, when released, allows the instrument to float or move with the top of the ground.
    [026] In another system, both support devices or adjustable upward and downward force, which can be air pockets, are used. The support devices raise the instrument above ground level.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION [071] This description of preferred embodiments is intended to illustrate representative examples of the inventive concepts and is not intended to be limiting as to the scope of the concepts. The examples should be read in connection with the accompanying drawings, which should be considered part of the entire written description of this invention. In the description, relative terms such as bottom, top, horizontal, vertical, top, bottom, top, bottom, top and bottom as well as derivatives of these (for example, horizontally, descending, ascending etc.) must be constructed to refer to the guidance as described or as shown in the drawings under discussion. These relative terms are for convenience of description and do not require the device to be constructed or operated in a particular orientation. Terms such
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 19/45
    15/33 as connected, connecting, connected, linking, joining and joining are used interchangeably and refer to a structure or surface being attached to another structure or surface or integrally manufactured in one piece, unless expressly described otherwise.
    [072] One aspect of the invention is directed to an adjustable mounting bracket assembly for connecting a soil conditioning instrument in the form of a rolling basket device, particularly the structure of a planter.
    [073] As shown in the realization of Figures 3-8, the assembly set 2, for a rolling basket soil conditioner 10 comprises at least three parts, a height adjustable assembly 4, a height adjustment mechanism or actuator , which can be in the form of a hydraulic cylinder (6A in Figure 9E) or pneumatic 6, and an associated control system (Figure 10) to operate a plurality of such height adjustment mechanisms to adjust the height of a plurality of baskets associated connected bearing wheels spaced as normally used in conjunction with a planter as towed by a tractor.
    [074] As shown in Figure 3, the height adjustable assembly 4 is made up of several parts including a connecting plate 12 and a pair of parallel side plate members 16 and connecting arms 18 to couple the ground conditioning instrument. bearing basket the connection plate 12. The connection plate 12 is adapted to be attached to the structure of an agricultural instrument in the form of a conventional planter with the connection plates of other
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 20/45
    16/33 units so that the soil in front of each plantation unit is conditioned.
    [075] Each mounting set includes spaced arms 18 that extend away from a rolling basket floor leveling and conditioning instrument 10 that is configured for rotation between arms 18 as in 20. Arms 18 connect to members 16 fixed to the connection plate 12. The arms 18 are connected to each other by a crossbar 24 which also supports one end of a cylinder or driver 6.
    [076] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the arms 18 and the members 16 of the connection plate 12 are designed in such a way that they rotate with each other. Any way known in the art that connects and allows the arms 18 to turn 22 in relation to the members 16, such as brackets, bushings etc., can be employed in such a way that the adjustable assembly 4 is also able to move towards and towards away from the floor surface with the operation of the cylinder 6 that can be connected using a shackle arrangement as in 26 to connect the rod end and a support arrangement as in 28 to connect the blind end of the cylinder 6 to the connection plate 12 .
    [077] The height adjustment driver 6 can be a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, or other devices, as illustrated, those skilled in the art will recognize that any mechanical mechanism capable of raising and lowering the soil conditioning instrument 10, as shown in Figures 5 and 6 can be used. Thus, in some projects, the height adjustment depends on the planter's elevation with the bearing baskets connected. In these
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 21/45
    17/33 embodiments, the downward force may be provided by a spring-operated mechanism, an inflatable air spring, or any similar system known in the art, as shown in Figures 9A-9D. As indicated, several preferred embodiments using pneumatic cylinders as compressed air are generally available on tractors to connect and operate agricultural instruments. It will be recognized, however, that hydraulic systems are also commonly used in these types of applications.
    [078] The bearing basket units 10 further include a pair of side plates 30 connected by a plurality of spaced steel bars 32 which can be internally or externally connected to the plates 30. A central shaft or shaft 34 is also provided.
    Figures 5, 6A, 6B, 7A and 7B also represent a planting instrument 35 having a seed distribution arrangement 36 (Figure 6B) and a connector structure 37 including a main structure member 38 that connects together a plurality of similar units 35.
    [079] As shown in Figures 5 and 6A, the operation of the actuator 6 serves to raise and lower the soil conditioning rolling basket instrument 10 according to the operation of a control system. It must be perceived in an instrument carrying a plurality of soil conditioning rolling baskets 10, as shown in Figure 10, an associated control system allows the elevation and descent of the soil conditioning instruments individually as desired by the operator on the tractor or other towing vehicle. The soil conditioning instrument 10 may also be allowed to be positioned in
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 22/45
    18/33 a float mode moving over the soil surface or lowered with the applied force as needed.
    [080] An alternative embodiment of the mounting bracket assembly is generally shown at 102 in Figures 1 and 2 and also includes an adjustable height mounting 104. This system uses a shell or guard 114 covering the top of the bearing basket 110. The swiveling connected members 116 and arms 118 are shown together with the mounting bracket 120 and shackle connection 122. The drive cylinder or other such device is not shown.
    [081] Figure 10 is a schematic drawing of a soil conditioning system used with a multi-row seed planter so that a field can be properly leveled and consequently receive seeds from the planter modules. In this schematic drawing, a tow bar 40 is connected to a tow tongue 42 which is adapted to be connected by a shackle (not shown) to a towing work vehicle, such as an agricultural tractor. Attached to the tow bar is a plurality of rolling basket soil preparation devices 44.
    [082] Primary soil preparation devices (not shown) may, for example, comprise plows or rakes of conventional design known in the art can be used before using the rolling baskets. As explained earlier, primary plows are arranged to dig deeper into the soil and typically produce agglomerates depending on the type of soil and moisture content. It is preferable that the pellets are crushed and broken and the ground leveled by the action of the secondary rolling basket devices 44 leaving the
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 23/45
    19/33 field prepared to receive seed at the moment of sowing and the seed distributed by the planter modules 46.
    [083] The user or driver of the tractor or other main engine determines whether the soil is too wet for soil conditioning instruments 2 to work effectively or not. If the ground is very wet, the user sends a signal through the control system to activate the height adjustment mechanism 4. In a preferred embodiment, the height adjustment mechanism is connected to a pneumatic system that has a compressor air 52 to maintain a predetermined pressure in an accumulator 50. At least one pneumatic solenoid valve 58 is connected between the accumulator and each actuator 6 to control the application of the pressure supplied to the actuator 6.
    [084] A distribution tube 58 in Figure 10 is shown as supplying pressurized air, through solenoid valves 56, to one or more actuators 6 under control of the electrical signals from an operator's controller module that includes a keyboard control (which can remote) at 60. A combined electrical and pneumatic connection is shown at 62 and a manifold controller is shown at 64. The system can incorporate a pressure regulator (not shown) to adjust the amount of force (from the pressurized air) applied to raise the soil conditioning instrument.
    [085] The pressurized air is then supplied to the pneumatic cylinders 6 in a manner well known to the assembly set, which, in turn, will raise the soil conditioning instrument if the user has determined that the soil in that location is too wet for use, or lower the soil conditioning instrument if the soil is suitable
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 24/45
    20/33 to use the soil conditioning instrument. It will be appreciated that cylinders 6 can be single or double actuated with single actuated cylinders used to lift the soil conditioning instruments in the course of power and allows the basket to float under its own weight when pressure is released. Double-acting cylinders can be used to secure the instrument in a lowered position.
    [086] As also shown in Figure 10, each of the plurality of soil conditioning sets in the rolling basket can be placed in front of each of a plurality of seed distribution units from a planter as in 46 to prepare the soil to receive the seeds. Each of the mounting kits for the soil conditioners can be controlled individually or simultaneously with others. Also, groups of assembly sets can be controlled. If the assembly sets are individually controlled, the distribution tube 58 (either pneumatic or hydraulic) can supply pressurized air through the use of solenoid valves 56. The operator is able to control the height adjustment and also the application of an instrument soil conditioning instruments, a specific group of soil conditioning instruments, or all soil conditioning instruments using control block 60 in the tractor cab. As indicated, control block 60 can be any type known in the art to send control signals to the solenoid valve or other pneumatic or hydraulic valves.
    [087] The system allows the maximum effectiveness of soil conditioning instruments, if a line or some of the lines in a field are very wet, but
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 25/45
    21/33 the remaining lines are dry, the user can selectively apply the soil conditioning rolling basket instruments to the appropriate lines. The user, therefore, is able to maximize the effect of using the rolling basket soil conditioning devices in a field.
    [088] Figure 7A represents a rolling basket device 10 according to the invention attached to the central structural member 38 of a planting instrument, a unit which is shown at 35 in which the connection plate 12 is connected to the member 38 via an additional structure 70.
    [089] A similar arrangement is shown in Figure 7B in which the actuator is a double-actuated air bag system as in 72.
    [090] Figures 9A-9E represent alternate drive devices used in combination with rolling baskets. They include a pair of torsion springs as in 80 in Figure 9A which are used to provide a downward amount of force in the bearing basket 10. Similarly, Figure 9B uses a compression spring 82 connected between the mounting plate 12 and a cross member 24. A shock absorber and spring arrangement 84 is shown in Figure 9C and a single actuated air bag or shock absorber is shown in Figure 9D.
    [091] It should be noted that the rolling baskets having mounting arrangements with devices providing downward force are normally only raised manually when they need to be out of contact with the ground. They are held in an elevated position using a manually operated latch system such as at 88 shown in Figure 9F.
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 26/45
    22/33 [092] Another embodiment is shown in the various views of Figures 11A-16 in which double air bags or inflatable pneumatic actuators are used to lower or develop and raise or retract the rolling basket. This rolling basket system is generally shown at 200 and includes a rolling basket 202, which is mounted on a height adjustment mechanism 204 using a pair of spaced parallel side plate members 206 and 208, which are fixed and a set bottom 210, which includes a main member 212, which can be in the form of a heavy tube member, and which connects to the side plate members 206 and 208. The lower assembly, with the side plate members 206 and 208, for in turn, revolves around a spaced pair, flange screws 214, which connect it to a mounting structure including molded members 216 fixed or part of the connecting or mounting plate 218, which, in turn, can be attached to a main instrument such as a multi-row planter, as shown in Figure 10, in a plurality of places 220 using conventional screws, or the like, as in 221.
    [093] The rolling basket system also includes a developed airbag or downforce arrangement that includes a development airbag or downforce 222 mounted between a bottom pedestal 224 and a fixed top support 226. The pedestal bottom is mounted to the lower assembly by spaced members 228 and spaced support point members 230 which are attached to member 212 and members 228 and 230 connected by opposite flange screws 232 so that the pedestal can rotate freely over the flange screws .
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 27/45
    23/33 [094] The system also includes a retraction or upward force bag arrangement that includes a retraction or upward force bag 234 that is mounted between a movable upper U-shaped support 236 and a member of flexed flange 238.
    [095] As can be better seen in Figure 12B, the spaced legs of the support 236 are also fixed to the lower assembly 210 by the spaced support point plates 240 which are fixed to the member 212 and the spaced legs of the support 236 are rotatably connected to the support point plates 240 by the opposite flange screws 242 on which the support 236 can rotate freely.
    [096] Air lines 244 and 246 are connected respectively to the upstream and downstream airbags 222 and 234 and to a conventional supply of pressurized air not shown. The system is configured so that when high pressure air is introduced to inflate one bag, the other bag can deflate.
    [097] Figures 11A, 11B and 15A-15C show the lower assembly 210 and basket 202 in the position of use or lowered with the air bag of downward force fully inflated. As the downward force bag 222 inflates, it causes the lower assembly to rotate downward and develop basket 202 downward. The act of the lower assembly moving down causes the support 236 connected to the lift bag 234 to be moved downwards, forcing air outward and breaking the lift bag, as shown in Figure 11B. In the same way, as shown in Figures 12A, 12B, 13B and 14A-C, to raise or retract the lower assembly 210 and basket 202, the elevation bag 234 is fully inflated, which causes
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 28/45
    24/33 that the support 236 moves upwards and the lower assembly rotates upwards around the flange screws 232 and 214, which, in turn, causes the bottom pedestal 224 to be moved upwards and this breaks or empties the downward force air bag 222. The lift force of the air bag 234 is transferred to the lower assembly 210 through the folded flange 238. Flange screws 242 connect the legs of the support 236 with the support point members 240.
    [098] It will become apparent that each of the screws on the rim that transfers force from the air pockets to the lower assembly rotates around a support point, as best shown in 230 and 242 in the figures. The support points in turn produce an arcuate movement of the side plate members 206 and 208, as they raise and lower the member 212 and the lower assembly. In this way, the lower assembly moves along the arc of a circle when developed and retracted with the main flange screws 214 as it rotates.
    [100] Figures 17A-17C and 18A-18B represent a set of five port valves in two alternative positions. The set, usually at 300, includes ports 302, 304, 305, 308 and 310 and cylinder 312, axially housing the adjustable cylinder valve 314. The valve body or block is represented at 316.
    [101] Ports 302 and 306 are connected to receive air from a high pressure air source such as a conventional compressor system (not shown). Ports 308 and 310 connect respectively the upstream air bag and the downstream air bag. Finally,
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 29/45
    25/33 port 304 is a ventilation port for venting air from the upstream force air bag or the downstream air bag.
    [102] In Figures 17A and 17B, the port receiving high pressure air 306 is connected through the valve block with the downward force bag 222 through the outlet port 310 with the central valve 312 moved to the left in cylinder 314 in a position shifted to the left. With the central cylinder in this position, the upstream air bag 234 is connected to vent port 304 through port 308 so that the upstream air bag 235 is allowed to burst while the downstream air bag 222 inflates. This develops the rolling basket against the floor.
    [103] Figures 18A and 18B show valve 312 in an alternate position with the central cylinder moved to the right. With the control panel in this position, port 302 is connected through the central cylinder to port 308 and port 310 is connected to the central cylinder port 304 and port 306 is released. With the valve in this position, the high pressure air source is connected through ports 302 and 308 to the upstream air bag and the downstream air bag is connected to vent through ports 310 and 304. This will allow the air bag air of upward force inflates and the airbag of downward force breaks according to the elevation of the rolling basket to a tidy or up position.
    [104] Another embodiment is shown and illustrated in the various views of Figures 19A-24B which, as in the embodiment shown in Figures 11A-16, employs double air bags or inflatable pneumatic actuators to lower (develop) and raise (retract) an agricultural instrument . In this realization, the
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 30/45
    26/33 instrument is a garbage sweeping device. As shown in Figures 19A-19F, 20A-20C, 21A-21C and Figures 24A and 24B, the waste scanning system, usually at 400, includes a pair of pointed discs 402 and 404 with dirt holders 406 and 408, respectively , mounted on a triangular assembly 410 (Figure 23A) by means of a pair of folded flanges 412 and 414. A main mounting cross member, preferably a pipe member, is shown at 416 and a connector pipe 418 has a fixed end fixed to the main assembly tube 416 and a free end that carries the triangular assembly 410. The connector tube is preferably connected directly to the bottom of the flanges 412 and 414 by welding. Main member 416 is connected to a mounting frame via heavy side plate members 420 and 422. As with other embodiments, side plate members 420 and 422 revolve around a pair of spaced flange screws 424 that connect the members 420 and 422 the mounting structure including molded members 426, which are fixed or are a part of the connection or mounting plate 428 which, of course, can be attached to a main instrument such as a multi-row planter with a plurality of others dusting system spaced in a plurality of places using conventional screws, or the like, using openings 430. A similar system is shown in Figure 10 with respect to rolling basket realizations.
    [105] It will be appreciated that the mounting system of the invention can be used with many different disc varieties and those shown in 402 and 404 are for illustration purposes. They can be used with or without dirt port as well.
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 31/45
    27/33 [106] The garbage sweep system also includes a developed airbag or downforce arrangement that includes a development airbag or downforce 432 mounted between a bottom pedestal 434 and a fixed top support 436 The bottom pedestal is mounted to the lower assembly by spaced members 438 and spaced support members 440 which are attached to member 416 and members 438 and 440 connected by the opposite flange screws 442 so that the pedestal can rotate freely over the rim screws.
    [107] The system also includes a retraction or lift force bag arrangement that includes a retraction or lift force bag 444 that is mounted between a movable upper U-shaped support 446 and a flexed flange member. 448. As best seen in Figures 19F, 20A and 21C, spaced legs of the support 446 are also attached to the main tube of the lower assembly 416 through the spaced support point plates 450 that are attached to the member 416 and the spaced legs of the support 446 they are pivotally connected to the support point plates 450 through the opposite flange screws 424 in which the support 448 can bend freely.
    [108] The air lines are connected to the upstream and downstream air pockets 432 and 444 respectively and to a conventional supply of pressurized air (not shown). The system is configured, as will be described.
    [109] Figure 22 represents a control system for the broom set in the stowed or raised position. The system includes an electronic regulator 500 that
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 32/45
    28/33 can be configured to control the outlet pressure and thus the pressure in an air bag connected over a wide range. A manual regulator is shown at 502.
    [110] In Figure 22, air from a supply such as an accumulator tank (not shown) is supplied to regulators 500 and 502 at 504 and 506, respectively. The output currents of regulators 500 and 502 are shown, respectively, at 508 and 510.
    [111] In the diagram in Figure 22, the inlet port 506 of the downforce pressure supply 516 is constantly supplied at a suitable pressure to act as a shock absorber for the downforce air bag through the 510, typically, 18-20 pounds. Air is supplied to the adjustable electronic regulator 500 through an inlet port at 504 and air is supplied to an upward force air bag through an outlet port at 508. It will be noted, however, that the air being supplied for both the downward force air bag and the high air bag.
    [112] With air being supplied to both downward and elevating air pockets, a steady state can be achieved and maintained with the sweeper in any desired mechanical strength position with respect to the mechanism used. This arrangement also allows the operator to vary the power network up or down as desired using electronic regulator 500. Of course, electronic regulator 500 can also be replaced with a manual control, if desired. In this way, the garbage sweeper can be controlled to exert any desired downward force or be controlled to float, just lightly touching the top of the ground. This achieves a
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 33/45
    29/33 continuous operator-directed control over the operation of the garbage scanner which has been shown to be highly successful. It will be realized that other implements could be mounted on and controlled by this system.
    [113] Figure 24 is a side elevation view including a planting instrument, usually in 600, which can be a conventional commercial planter. The drawing represents a refuse scanner 602 that may be similar to those previously described and a coulter device 604 that includes a blade or handwheel 606 connected through a mounting member 608 to a mounting frame or assembly 610.
    [114] The raising and lowering of the coulter device 604 is permitted by the rotation of the member 608 around a joint 612. An inflatable air bag to apply a downward force to develop the coulter disk 606 is shown in 614. The Mounting set 610 carries both the garbage scanner and the coulter.
    [115] A front view of the Figure 24 assembly is shown in Figure 25A with the broom disks removed revealing the triangular assembly 620 and a pair of double air pockets 622 employed to raise and lower the broom in a manner as previously described for other achievements. In Figure 25B, a rear view is shown showing the unique air bag 614 that can be used when desired to apply a downward force to the blade of the coulter disk 606. When the downward force is released, the coulter device will simply mount on the ground . As shown in Figure 24, the common mounting set 610 is connected to the
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 34/45
    30/33 planting device 600 through a pair of members 616 shown in Figure 25A.
    [116] Figures 26 and 27A and 27B represent elevational rear and front views and rear perspective of a planter as in Figure 24 to which a broom is attached, with an instrument that combines a rolling basket with a coulter device. Both instruments are mounted on the common mounting frame or set 610. The combination of the rolling basket and coulter and coulter 630 is performed by a pair of connecting members 632 that allows rotation of the coulter disc 606 and sections of the rolling basket 634 and 636 and also allow vertical movement by articulating around the joints as in 638. They are carried by a common axis 640. As with the coulter of Figures 24 and 25B, the combination device 630 is operated by a single bag air force development air 614.
    [117] Releasing the downward force, of course, allows the device to simply roll along the top of the ground. This combination allows the planting operation to fulfill the actions of all agricultural instruments in a single pass.
    [118] Figures 28 and 29A and 29B represent a side elevation view showing a combination of sweeping instrument 602 with a bearing basket 642 mounted for the common assembly 610 with the bearing basket having an air bag use system only downforce 614 and the garbage sweep device having double up / down air pockets. As with other downward force devices, when the downward force is released from the air bag 614, the
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 35/45
    31/33 bearing 642 will simply float or roll along the floor surface in a harmless way.
    [119] Figure 30 is a front perspective view showing a common mounting structure for the rolling basket and broom with rolling basket using a downward force air bag only. The common mounting frame 610 includes a box shape 650 that receives the front end of two connector members 616, the other end of which connects a mounting plate 652 which, in turn, connects to the main planter device 600 using filament connectors as in 654. Note that both the sweeper assembly 620 and rolling basket 640 are connected via devices from the simple box frame 650. The 610 frame allows instruments to be mounted both in front and behind the box configuration 650.
    [120] Figure 31 represents a side elevation view in which a refuse scanner 602 and a rolling basket 640 are connected to a planter instrument using two different spaced connection sets 660 and 662, respectively.
    [121] Figure 32 represents a front perspective view of the Figure 31 embodiment. In this embodiment, the line basket 640 is developed and retracted using a double air bag system with the air bag 664 shown in the perspective view. A slightly elevated side elevation view of the set of Figures 31 and 32 is shown in Figure 33. The mounting system 666 shown for the broom device is quite similar to the previously described achievements regarding the use of
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 36/45
    32/33 broom as a single device, as shown in Figures 20A-21C. Likewise, the mounting kit 668 for the bearing basket 640 may be similar to that shown in Figures 14A-16. Such a mounting system, as shown in Figures 31-33, is particularly useful when combinations of soil treatment devices are added together to existing planter combinations. A top view of the system in Figures 31-33 is shown in Figure 34 and, in that figure, both the rolling basket and the sweeper devices are operated using a double set of air pockets so that both the downward and upward forces are available in the development and retraction of devices.
    [122] It should be noted that any of the instruments shown developed as air bags of only downward force could also be operated using a double set of air bags of downward and upward force and, if desired, other devices can be used to develop and retract any of the agricultural instruments shown. The details of the connections and operation of the airbag development and retraction systems are similar to those described in the previous projects and do not need to be described in greater detail above. As with other embodiments, the downforce can be modulated as desired.
    [123] This invention has been described here in considerable detail in order to comply with patent statutes and to provide those skilled in the art with the information necessary to apply the new principles and to build and use such specialized components as needed. However, it should be understood that the invention can be
    Petition 870180039354, of 11/05/2018, p. 37/45
    33/33 performed by different, and equipment and without departing from equipment and devices specifically that various modifications, both regarding operating procedures, can be performed within the scope of the invention itself.
