the hinged cups, and the cranked wheel for
operating the levers, substantially as specified.
2. The combination, with the plow-beam
having the hopper provided with the seed-
compartments and the discharge- compart- 20
meant, of the oscillating levers, the rods with
rigid cups, rods with hinged cups, the open-
ing-plow, discharge-tube, and the covering-
plows, substantially as specified.
3. The combination, in a seed-planter, of 25
the oscillating levers having pivoted rods with
rigid cups at their upper ends, and pivoted
rods with hinged cups at their upper ends, and
a crank-wheel connected to said levers, as set
forth. 1o
