Description
ENDSLEY az FLETCHER.
Cultivator.
Patented May 18, 1858.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN ENDSLEY AND E. FLETCHER, OF ABINGTON, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CULTIVATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 20,260, dated May 18, 1858.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN ENDSLEY and ELIHU FLETCHER, both of Abington, in the county of Wayne and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oorn-Plows; and we do hereby declare that the following is afull and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of our invention. Fig. 2 is a top view. Fig. 3 is a view of the gage H. Fig. 4 shows a side and top view of the saddle l. Fig.5 shows a side of wing K.
A is an ordinary straight plow-beam, a little longer than the beam of the common shovelplow.
B is an upright mortised into the rear end of the beam at its lower end and receiving a rod,b,through its npperend,connectingitwith the handles.
0 G are handles of the ordinary form.
D is a plow-shank, somewhat curved, as shown, to set it out at the foot, and thereby give greater width to the plow. It is firmly fastened to the beam A by means of a saddle, I, and common screw-bolt.
E is a straight shank, similar to the shank of an ordinary shovel-plow. It receives on its lower end the gage H. F is another curved shank, similar to D, only curving in the opposite direction. It is secured to the beam also in a similar manner, but on the opposite side. When the shanks D E F are situated respectively to each other, as shown in Fig. l-one before another-and D beingin the lead, they hill theearth to the right; but they may be made to hill to the left by simply bringing the shank D back to the rear of the beam and securing it upon the right side with the same screw bolt and in the same hole as used for shank F, and removing the shank F to the lead by a similar process.
G G G are three shovels of the ordinary form, only somewhat smaller than usual. They are bolted to shanks D E F, respectively.
H is a gage, whose form is shown in Fig.3. It should he of iron, and is fastened to shank E by means of two screw-bolts passing through slots h h, whereby it is rendered adjustable, so as to regulate the depth of the plowing.
I I are two saddles. A side and top view Of them is shown at Fig. 4. Each saddle has two sets of flanges upon opposite sides. One set embraces the beam, being horizontal-in direction. The other set clasps the upper end of a shank, D or F, being somewhat inclined from the perpendicular. By this contrivance the shanks D and F are rendered as firm and secure as if mortised into the beam.
K is a removable wing, a side view of which is given in Fig. 5. It is secured to the shank I) in the position shown by a screw-bolt passing through the hole in its lug and through the shank.
This invention, though apparently similar to the rejected application of Alfred Davis, Jethro Davis, and Amariah Hendrickson ot' July 29, 1854, is yet quite distinct therefrom and herein, for while they render their cultivator adjustable by means of two beams connected with bolts, we use but one beam, and separate the plows by means of saddles I I, placed on opposite sides of the same beam, and also by curving the shanks D and F in opposite directions.
The operation of this plow is similar to other corn-plows.
We do not claim a bed with inclined sides following the trace of the colter, rendering the sides of the furrows compact and preventing the falling in of the earth, as described in Charles K. Farrs patent of May 9,1854. Neither do we broadly claim the saddle I, as we propose making that the subject of a separate application; but
We do claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The arrangement ofshauks D E F and shovels G G l with saddles I I and beam A,when constructedin the manner and for the purposes herein shown.
JOHN ENDSLEY. ELIHU FLETCHER.
Attest JOHN FINLEY, GEORGE TAYLOR.
