IMPROVEMENT IN FLOWS.

.Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1i0,336, dated December 20, 1870.

the State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,

clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a plow, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to :make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is aside view from the mold-board side, and Fig. 2 is a side view from the land side'. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the front end of the mold-board. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the plow. Fig. 5 is a section immediately yin rear of the plow-stock, and Fig. 6 is a perspective View of the landside.

A represents the plow-beam, at the rear end of which are secured the handles B B, one on each side of the beam, one bolt, a., passing through the whole. Above the beam A the handles spread outward and are held a proper The lower ends of the handles B B, below the plow-beam, are, by means of a bolt, d, secured together,-

and also to the rear end of the landside-bar C.

At a suitablepoint on the beam A from the under side, in front of the handles, is inserted a tenon formed on the upper end of the stock D. To the lower end of this stock the bar C is also secured by a bolt, e, the stocky being cut out, so as to let in the bar O and form a shoulder, x, above the same, against which shoulder the bar bears and is thus held firmly. (See Fig. 5.) The bar C extends a suitable distance in front of the stock D, and its upper front edge is curved, as shown in Figs. 2 and 6, having an ear, j, projecting inward from the same. In a hole through this ear is inserted a lug or pin, i, on the under side ofthe wing G, which is secured to the stock D by means of a bolt, h. The front side of the stock is provided with an offset or shoulder, 1, against which the upper edge of the wing G bears to give said wing more steadiness and firmness. The wing G is constructed as shown in the drawings, forming both the point and the mold-board of the plow. At the joint between this wing and the front end of the bar C is an offset, k, as shown in Fig. 8, which assists in holding it steady.

The wing G may be made of different sizes, to be attached to the same stock and bar for different kinds of work.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The within-described plow, consisting ofthe beam A, handles B B, standard D, landside O, with ear f, and share G, all the parts being constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the forgoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 6th day of September, 1870.
