ficient in use.

automatic adjustable fender.

With the foregoing and other objects in view that will appear as the nature of my invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel features of construction,

combination and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only and are therefore not drawn to scale:

Figure 1 is a top plan view, parts being broken away, illustrating the application of my invention.

Figure 2 is a central longitudinal section, taken on line 22 of Figure 1 and Figure 3 is a detail horizontal section, taken on line 33 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings for a more particular description of my invention, and in which drawings like parts are designated by like reference characters throughout theseveral views, the numeral 1 represents the cultivator, which may be of any ordinary or approved type now in use and 2 designates my The fender 2 is of substantially rectangular oblong form and is disposed at the right hand side of the cultivator opposite the adjacent cultivator plow 3. The fender is carried by the rear lower end of the hanger bar 4 pivoted at its upper end, as at 5, to the adjacent cultivator beam 6 and terminating in a straight depending portion 7 In carrying out my invention, a downwardly and forwardly inclined strap iron 8, formed with a series of transverse openings 9, is fastened to the casting 10 at the front end of the cultivator and the lower end of 1929. Serial No. 364,190.

this strap iron is adjustably connected to the depending terminal portion 7 of the hanger bar 4 by the larger and smaller telescopic pipe sections 1]. and 12, respectively, or other equivalent means. An adjustable clamp or collar 13 fits around the rear end of the smaller pipe section 12 and is adapted to abut against the frontend of the larger pipe section 11. This construction permits the fender to be freely raised and lowered and secured to at the desired adjustment. The depending terminal portion 7 of the hanger bar 4 is provided with a series of transverse openings 14 and the rear end of the larger pipe section may be adjustably connected therewith to regulate the relative throw of the fender when the plow beam is moved. This connection aforesaid may be made by a bolt and nut or other equivalent means. 7

The hanger bar 4 is disposed in parallel relation with the adjacent cultivator beam and the two sections of the adjustable pipe connection being inclined or disposed toward the center, when the beams are drawn together, the tendency is to lengthen the pipe sections and raise the fender and vice versa.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings, it is thought that the construction, operation and advantages of my invention will be readily under- 30 stood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportions and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the prin- 5 ciples or sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention as defined in the appended claim.

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

In a device of the character specified, a fender, a hanger bar secured at its lower rear end to the fender and pivoted at its upper front end to the adjacent cultivator beam, the last mentioned end of said hanger bar terminating in a straight depending portion,

a downwardly inclined strap iron fastened to the front end of the cultivator, larger and smaller telescopic pipe sections, the former adjustably connected at its rear end to the depending terminal portion of the hanger bar and the latter adjustably connected at its front end to the strap iron, and an adjustable clamp or collar carried by the rear end of the smaller pipe section and adapted to engage or abut the adjacent end of the larger pipe section.

In testimony whereof he afiixes his signature. n

HARRY HEINEKEN.
