Patent Images
1. A liquid distribution system for a farm machine that is configured to place seeds in a furrow, the liquid distribution system comprising:
- a liquid supply conduit;
an extension configured for selective attachment to the farm machine and including an extension fluid passage extending from a top surface of the extension to a bottom surface of the extension; and
a fluid distribution member joined to the extension, the fluid distribution member including a body defining a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the liquid supply conduit, a fluid outlet arranged over the extension fluid passage and in fluid communication therewith, and a fluid passage that fluidly connects the fluid inlet with the fluid outlet, the fluid passage extending between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet and the fluid passage including a first portion and a second portion extending away from the first portion at an angle relative to the first portion.
