TIIMPRQVEMEINT IN PLOWS'AND CLEVISES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 7.223, dated March 26, 195.0.
reference being had to the annexed drawingsof the same, making part ofthis specification.

Fig. '9 Fig; 10 is a perspective view of the share in another position, showing the recess or V-shaped groove therein to receive the lower portionot' the mold-board. Fig. 11 is ageometrical view or plan of the point. Fig. 12 is a view of the side of the same. Fig. 13 'is a cross-section of the reversible share.
'W'here the before-mentioned figures have the same letters of reference on them they refer to like parts.
The beam A and handles B B, mold-board C, sheth D, and landside E, being partially similar to others in use, will not require to be particularlydescribed, as I intend to make no particular claim to these parts, i The reversible point F and share H being the parts of the plow that I have essentially improved, I shall therefore confine my description-mostly to those parts. I shall, however, pointout certain improvements in the manner of employing an adjustive screw-rod, I, for bracing the beam and handles, and also for changingthe position of the beam while so bracing'it, so asto'cause the plow to take more or less land, thus dispensing with thenecessity of changing the clevis, likewise, in the formation of a protuberance, J, or swell on the lower and front portion of the mold-board and several improvements relating tothe head of the'sheth and certain stiifners, K L, and
peculiarly-shaped box-plate I, formed on the inside of the mold-board, which, together with the landside, are cast in one piece.
The reversible point F, as well as. the cutter and share, is made of the best cast-steel. The former is made of a wedge-shape about onehalfitslengt'lnthe tapercoininencingwhere two oblique triangular shoulders, F F, arefOIlDtfl. A portionof its lengtln which constitutes thestem f, is reduced in its size, and tapered on its sides, where it passes through the mold-board and titted into a corresponding aperture cast in the lower front portion of the mold-board.- The rear'end f isinade round, and has a screw'cut on it for a nut, N, which is screwed against the inner side of the front part of the mold-board, as seen in Figs. 4 and 6, in the manner and for the purpose hereinafter described. The oblique lines of the triangular shoulders orwings cross each other .in the manner represented in Fig. 11, one of said shoulders being on one side of a horizontal plane represented by the dotted line x a:, passing through the center of the reversible point, and the other on the opposite side, as shown in Fig. 12, andtthe point of one shoulder being on one side of a vertical plane represented by the dotted line ll 11, passing through the center of the point, andthe other on the opposite side, as shown in Fig. 11. These shoulders are sloped or beveled inwardly atan angle of about fortydive degrees with the horizontal plane aforesaid, forming beveled'grooves or channels, .one' for each shoulder, which fit over a corresponding portion of thefront of the n1old-board, said reversible point having curved grooves or recesses F in the outer sides of the reversible point to receive the front portion of the cutter and the forward point of the share, so that when the aforesaid nut is screwed against the inside of the front part of the mold-board to draw the reversible point toward it the triangular shoulders shall simultaneously and effectually draw together-and bind all the parts of the plow connected therewith; During the operationof plowing the resistance of the earth against points of the shoulders toward thelfront point about half its length. The grooves Fgfor the.
reception of the turned end G of the cutter,
are made in the inner sides of the shoulders, and are slightly curved, so that when the point G is inserted therein andthe nut Nis turned the cutter G is forced back into-its recess or bed 0, Fig. 3, from which it cannot escape until the motion of the nut N is reversed, the locking of the cutter with the mold-board being elfected by making one side and end of the cutter beveling, and fittingthe same into a recess of a corresponding shape. A notch is also made in each edge of the reversible point to admit the aforesaid point Got' the share to enter the notch F more-freely.
The cutter G, as before stated; is made'of steel in the form of a curved blade, with its front edge concave and sharp to cut the 'soil freely, and its rear edge and top made stout and beveling, as before mentioned, and fitted into a corresponding seat or recess, 0, in the front of the mold-board, as above stated. The lower end of the cutteris turneddown at Gin the form of a hook forhooking into the aforesaid curred groove F in the reversible point, as heretofore stated. Tlfi reversible share H is likewise. made of steel, of two thin'plates haying obtuse angled notches in their ends, said plates being welded together at their front or cutting edges and separated 'at their rear edges, leaving a triangular space between said plates for the insertion of. thelower edge, 0 of the mold,,which is made of-a triangular or V shape, or of a corresponding shape to said triangular space' H. Between these two plates is welded a male screw, M, projected back at right angles to the straight edges of the shares and passing through a mortise, C in the lower part of the mold-board. When the share is put in its proper place a nut, N is screwed upon said screw- M, which turns against the inside of themold-board, for drawing the share closely into its seat and firmly against the shoulders c 0 on the mold-board. In Fig. 6 the manner of using this nut is clearly shown, also the manner of applying the nut ot' the shank of the reversible point. When the position of the share is required to be inverted the nut'must be removed and the screw M withdrawn from its socket and again insorted when the position of the sh are is changed. The nuts, being above the level of the bottom of the plow and behind the thick portions of the mold-board, are entirely out ofthe way of the earth, and consequently will not become clogged. The straight and thick td'ges of the plates composing the share'rest against the straight shonldersa 0, (when drawn back by the nut aforesaid,) formed at the base of the triangulartongue on the lower edge of the mold-board, and which enter the V-shaped space in the back of the share.
The protuberance J, cast on the fore part of of; the mold-board, is to strengthen it, and to give a more firm bearing for the oblique shoulder of the reversible point when thisis drawn firmly against it by the screw and nut. The bevel or slope on the face corresponding exactlywith the bevel or slope of theshoulder, which rests against it and forms a continua-v tion of the same.
On the inside or con-vex surface of the moldboard are cast a number of ribs or stiffners to strengthen the mold-board. Two of them are united by a box-plate, P, to which one of the handles is secured by an oblique screw-rod, I, extending-from the rearend of the beam and the landside-handle, to which the beam is attached, obliquely downward through the opposite or mold-board handle,and-through said box-plate P,'where it is secured by two nuts, 6 2,-
in such a manner that by turning said screw nuts said rods maybe made to perform the double office of brace and regulator of the beam, the lower end of the beam-handle b'eing ins'erted into a box, It, cast on thelands'idein such manner that the upper endof thehandle may move a few degrees in'the are of a circle scribed from the saidbox R during the operationof adjusting the beam, while the lower end remains in the same position.
I'n adjusting thel'beam for causing the plow to take more or less landby said rod and nuts the handles and beam must necessarily move I or bend simultaneously. The bearing-point on which the mold-board handle binds being the aforesaid box-plate P.
The brace S, with its curved branch 5, is
cast with the landside and mold-board, and is' for the purpose of receiving the handle next the mold-board and for strengthening the plow.
A curved shield, T, is cast on the frqnt of the head of the sheth for the purpose of preventing the accumulation of weeds and'other matters which might have a tendency to obstruct the (lllB,fl0[-l0l] of the plow.
V is the bolt passing through the head of the slieth and beam for confining the former to the latter.
' The ribs K L,in connection with the cap 1?,
strengthen the mold-board suiificientlyitoreceive the brace-rod l and form a complete con? nection between the mold-board and beani','as described and designated.
Attaching the curved brace S to'the under' side of the landside and mold-board connection or brace S serves the double purpose of bracing said'connection and forms an opening toreceive the lower end of the mold-board handles, not intending to claim as newthe'cast mold-board and landside connection, butonly the peculiar and useful manner of attaching a section of a semicircular brace thereto for the purpose above stated. I
It should have been stated that the share may be rolled directly from a single plate of steel, forminga triangular. groove, as above mess statedor it may be folded and welded and properly shaped in any convenient way-.-
The curred cap T at the head of the sheth may be made to project about three-fourths of an inch from the beam on the'landsideof the plow, designed also/to form a substantial shouldeer or hearing for a cutter, being curved upon the land side and correspondingly projected uponv the furrow side and front portion of the sheth, and is calculated to strengthen the same, and also to prevent the accumulation of 'weeds around the head of the sheth.
There may also he added to the heel of the landside (should it be deemed necessary on, account of severe friction on that part in stony land) a renewable steelheel or 1ining,formed of suitable size steel, the rear end being beveled inward and upward, while thcforward end is turned to a right angle about one-half its width, forming a teno'n to fit acorresponding mortise east through the landside, and while hot may be'driven and bentbackward, thus forming a hook at each end and firmly fitted to its place by being tempered in said position.
Having described the nature of my invention and improvement,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Batent,'is
1. 'Makin g the reversible point F with 'the triangular shoulders F F, in combination with the screw f and nut N, for binding firmly together the landside E, mold-boardv O, cutter G,
and share H, as well as securing itself, in the manner herein fully described.
2. The device for fastening the reversible share to the flange on the lower part of the moldboard, substantially as set forth.
3.- The manner of employing the inclined brace-rod I, in combination with the box-plate P, cast'on the inside of the mold-board, for adj usting the beam to take more or less land to act as a substitute for the clevis, and at thesame time to brace or stifl'en the wood-work oftthe plow' by attaching it to the cast-iron mold-boardand landside, as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name before two subscribing witnesses.
