Description

UNITED STATES FFIGE.
PATENT BENJAMIN G. FITZHUGH, OF FREDERICK, MARYLAND.
Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 119,973, dated October 17, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN G. FITZHUGH, of the city and county of Frederick, in the State l of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement, being a Combined Wheelbarrow and Plow, of which the following is a specification:
My invention relates to combined wheelbarrow and cultivator-plow; and the said invention consists of a single divided hand-irame provided with a division-block and the barrow-box provided with a holding and locking-projection to be use in connection with the said single divided frame, so that the barrow may be readily changed to a cultivator-plow, and vice versa, without any change in the frame whatever.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a view in perspective of my improvement adapted as a wheelbarrow. Fig. 2 represents a similar view of my improvement adapted as a hand-plow.
The frame consists of two bars, A, united together at the front by a division-piece, a, and at the rear by a cross-bar, B, which constitutes a handle and serves as a means for pushing the barrow or plow by the contact and pressure ot' the body. To the front forked end the supporting-wheel (l is secured. The box D of the barrow is provided with the usual legs E, which straddle the bars A, upon which the body is secured by a projection, e, from the center of the bottom of the body thereof, passing into and through the opening between the bars and locked by a pin, b, so as to hold the body flat upon the bars, and thus constitute a wheelbarrow, the box and legs of which can be removed by withdrawing the pin I), which is the only fastening. In adapting my improvement as a plow the share or furrow-colter F takes the place of the boX D, and is secured in the opening between the bars A by the same pin b which secured the box, and the plowing device is held in an inclined position by beveling the end ofthe division-cleat a, against which the shank of the plow rests, and securing it in such position by a link, c, connected to the colter or plow and to the under side of the supporting-bars.
In this way I obtain a plow which can be pushed along by pressing the body against the cross-bar, which also serves as the means of controlling and directing' the plow, and its ready conversion to a barrow ai'ords a handy and useful implement for garden and farm purposes.
Having thus described my invention, I claim* The divided hand-frame A having a supporting-wheel, C, an inclined division-bar, a., link c, and locking-pin b adapted to receive and hold the projecting tongue or hold-fast of a barrowbox, D, or the shank of a tilling device, as described.
B. G. FITZHUGH.
