Hand-held flat hoe-mellower. RU patent 2261564.

FIELD: hand-held tools used for performing plant care works, such as thinning or mellowing of soil on home's ground, and also for performing of municipal forestry works and works in agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: hand-held flat hoe-mellower has A-shaped blade equipped with side edges bent downward and fixed on body through intermediate tine formed as plate, which is mounted with its rib axially of flat-hoe-mellower. Body front part bent upward is furnished with apertures for attachment of shank by means of bolt connection or for attachment of threaded branch pipe used, in turn, for connection to shank equipped with threaded tip. Flat-hoe-mellower body is further provided with, for example, apertures for attachment of detachable load serving for reducing the action of force upon shank to substantially simplify in some situations handling of flat hoe-mellower. In operating position A-shaped blade with double-sided sharp edges is fixed at an angle of 15-30° to soil surface in the direction of advancement of flat hoe-mellower and is completely deepened into soil. Stability of deepening value and angle of attack of blade are enabled by means of restricting slides arranged at both sides of blade and fixed on body by means of number of adjusting plates. Restricting slides simultaneously serve for protecting root system of cultured plants from damage because soil mellowing occurs only in space therebetween. Such construction allows flat hoe-mellower to be drawn-through along row of plants.

EFFECT: wider operational capabilities, simplified construction and handling, and increased efficiency.

Rubberized grip is provided in upper part of spade shank.

Tillage machine / 2258337
Tillage machine has propeller formed as paired set of wheels. Pair of stop rollers adjustable in vertical and horizontal planes is provided within each pair of wheels and adapted for moving working tools to digging mode. Working tools are made in the form of cycloid defined by rotation of circle having radius equal to that of wheel rim and length exceeding tillage depth by 3-5 cm. Number of working tools on each rim must be selected so that distance therebetween is equal to their length.

Mellowing tool / 2257700
Mellowing tool has tine with inclined cutting edge, shoe with longitudinal shaft incorporating share, mellower and chisel mounted thereon. Elongated and short pins are positioned at rear side of inclined part of tine and share. Sectors of spherical disk are attached to elongated and short pins. Upper edge of sectors is equipped with teeth and slots. Slots and lower edge of sectors are extending along logarithmic spiral.

Method for cultivation of soil on slopes / 2255450
Method involves cultivating soil on slope transverse thereto by deep plowing to depth of up to 60 cm and simultaneously forming walls of uncultivated internal soil in alternation with mellowed soil regions. Thickness of internal soil walls should be less than width of mellowing region.

Hand tillage implement / 2255449
Invention relates to hand implements for cultivation and ripping of soil. Proposed tillage implement contains working web made in form of flat plate with blade over perimeter, with hole and knives arranged at angle to working web symmetrically to its longitudinal axis, and fastening members arranged on axle of working web at different side from hole and made in form of two plates bent to different sides, and also handle. Implement is furnished with detachable holder with head arranged at angle to holder and made in form of semicircle. Hexagonal cutout and rectangular cutout with slots are made on longitudinal axle of head. Fastening members are furnished with stops and installed for interaction with opposite sides of hexagonal and rectangular cutouts of holder head. Head of detachable holder is provided with blade located over perimeter of semicircle.

Method for restoration of contaminated soil, ground and water / 2243638
Method involves mechanical removal of excessive contaminants from surface and reducing toxicity of contaminated soil; sowing green manure crops and perennial grasses; preliminarily removing taking soil samples from contaminated surface and separating native contaminant destructors therefrom; after mechanical removal of contaminant from soil surface, providing sequential treatment of plot soil with water-soluble humates and at least double treatment with native contaminant destructors; mellowing soil; applying lime with mineral fertilizers such as saltpeter, double superphosphate and calcium chloride. Green manure crops are sown after application of fertilizers. Method further involves grinding green manure crops, plowing into soil and covering with soil by means of covering roll.
