Claims. (Cl. 51104) The object of my invention is to provide a disk the screw-threaded rods l4. Upon the shaft N5 of sharpener of simple, durable and inexpensive the motor is a connecting wheel II of ordinary construction in which the cutting wheel and its construction. The motor unit is substantially driving motor are assembled in a single unit balanced upon the supporting bar l2, and it is 5 which is fixed to a sliding motor unit support provided with ahandle i8 which at its rear end is 5 which is also mounted for tilting movement and secured to the motor by means of a metal strap l9 upon which the motor unit is substantially balpassed around a portion of the motor and fixed to anced and whereby an operator may convenientthe handle. Near the central portion of the lever ly and easily move the motor unit with one hand there are two bolts 20 and a cross member 2! is 10 to control the vertical movement of the cutting fixedtothe handle and to the motor unit. By 10 wheel, and further to provide means including a this means it is obvious that an operator grasplever to be grasped by the operators other hand ing the forward end of the handle l8 may convenfor conveniently and easily adjusting the motor iently and easily tilt the motor on the supporting unit horizontally and holding the cutting wheel rod l2 up and down relative to the disks to be against the disk to be sharpened by a yielding sharpened. l5 pressure controlled by the operators hand so that For the purpose of horizontally adjusting the the operator may easily and conveniently vary motor unit I have provideda lever 22 having a such pressure to meet changing conditions and forked rearv end provided with pins 23 to enter whereby disks that are bent or distorted maybe the groove l5 and thereby pivotally and rotatasharpened without damage to the disks. bly connect the lever with the motor unit support. 2
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 shows a I have also provided a lever fulcrum device, indiside elevation of a disk sharpener embodying my cated generally by the numeral 24 and having a invention; rounded opening at one end through which the Figure 2 shows the front elevation of same with supporting rod I2 is loosely and slidingly mount- 25 a portion of the central part of the device broken ed. This fulcrum support extends laterally, as 25 away and the support for one end of the disk shown in Figure 2, and is connected by a fulcrum shaft being shown'in section, the outer ends of pin 25 with the lever 22. The operation of this both of the levers being broken away. part of the device is as follows. When the lever Figure 3 shows a detail vertical sectional view '22 is in the position shown in Fi re then the taken on the line 3--3 of Figure 2; operator may, by grasping it, move it, for in- 30 Figure 4 shows a vertical longitudinal view of stance, toward the left, whereupon the forward the motor unit support; portion of the fulcrum device will be moved to- Figure 5 shows a sectional view taken on the ward the left and the fulcrum device will then be line 5-5 of Figure 1; tilted relative to the supporting rod l2 and be .35 Figure 6 shows a sectional view taken on the frictionally held thereby in position so that a line 6-6 of Figure 2; and further movement of the lever 22 will result in Figure '7 shows a detail view of the edge of the moving the en ire m r s pp rt oward the disk with the cutting wheel adjacent thereto to right, as shown in Figure 2.

This support is loosely are somewhat distorted in shape and not in acmounted upon the supporting bar [2. curate right-angled positions relative to the disk Mounted upon the motor unit support is a moshaft. In such cases, if the cutting wheel were tor l6 which is held to the supporting member by fixed in its position, then it would obviously dam 55 age such disks. With my device, however, the operator may apply yielding pressure, holding the cutting wheel against the disk, and continue to apply the same pressure while moving the lever 22 toward the right or left to accommodate the cutting wheel to uneven surfaces of the disk, and I have found in practice that this feature of the invention is very advantageous.
I have indicated the disk shaft by the reference numeral 21 and the disks 28. A portion of the disk harrow frame 29 is shown attached to the disk shaft, and this may conveniently rest upon the beams l I.
Rotatably mounted upon one of the uprights II] is a shaft SE to which a belt wheel 3! is fixed. This shaft has a socket at one end to receive a squared nut 32 on the end of the disk shaft, and is provided with a set screw 33 for holding the nut in position. At the other end the disk shaft is supported by a lever 3 This lever has a screw-threaded rod 35 at its upper end to engage and rotatably support the adjacent end of the disk shaft. This lever 34 projects down between the beams H and is provided above the beams with a fulcrum member 35 extended horizontally and resting upon the beams H. The end of the lever which projects down between the beams has a laterally extended portion at 31, and fixed to this portion 37 is a friction plate 38 designed to engage the lower surface of the beams H. With this construction the said lever may freely be moved longitudinally of the beams to accommodate disk shafts of different lengths. When the disks are placed in position the lever is moved to position adjacent one end of the disk shaft, and then as the screw 35 is tightened, the lever 34 will be tilted toward the right, as shown in Figure 2, with the fulcrum device resting upon the top of the beams H, and this will move the friction plate 38 upwardly into firm contact with the under surfaces of the beams H, and in this way the lever will be clamped to the beams in the desired position.
In practical use it will be seen that with my improvement an entire unit of the disk cultivator, including its frame, may readily and easily be placed in position and clamped and slowly rotated by power applied through the pulley 3!. Then the motor may be started and the operator may, with one hand applied to the lever l8, conveniently and easily control the up and down tilting movements of the cutter wheel, and with the other hand grasping the lever 22 he may horizontally adjust the position of the cutter wheel relative to the disks and may apply any desired amount of yielding pressure to the cutting disks that may be necessary to meet the requirements of necessary use.
