COMBINED HOEAND CULTIVATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming ,part of Letters Patent No. 245,619, dated August 16, 1881.
Application led April 23, 1881.
To all whom t may concern Beit known that I, JOHN A. FORBES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dover, in the county of Kent and State of Delaware, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Combined Hoe and Oultivator, and l. do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and gures of reference marked thereon.
Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a side view of the device. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Fig. 8 is a transverse section through the handles, showing the rear ot' the shovels.
This invention -relates to hoes and 'cultivators and it consists inthe improved features of construction and combination hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, the letters A A designate thehandle-pieces or sides ofthe frame of this implement, which extend forward to receive thejournals orjournal-boxes of ,the central gage and guide wheel B. The front ends of these side bars are connected by the bow-shaped clevis-bar C, which is provided with a series of perforations, a, for the attachnient of the draft. The side bars, A, are bolted to the ends of the bar O, and are designed to` be connected in rear by means of the transverse bolt-rod D, which is provided with a nut and washers, and is designed to be easily removed and replaced. Upon this rod are arranged the perforated sections Z), forming the bracing-blocks between the side bars.
E E represent the standards,which are slotted longitudinally at c, near their upper ends, to receive the bolt-rod D, and the handles are thereby rendered adjustable according to the depth of work required of the hoes and cultivater-shovels. These standards are also adjustable toward and from each other on the bolt-rod D, the sections b being shifted accordingtothe spacebetween the standards required. At their lower ends the standards are adjusted toward or from. each other by means of the screw-rod F and the innerv and outer checknuts, d.
To the outside of each standard are bolted (No model.)
the shanks g of the hoes G G. One of these hoes, G, extends forward from the shank and downward and outward by its curved arm H, from the lower end of which the blade h extends horizontallyinward and rearward. 'lhe opposite hoe, G', has its arm H' extending rearward from the shank portion, downward, and outward, and the blade extends from the lower end of said arm inward and rearward toward the end ofthe opposite hoe, but in rear thereof, this arrangement being eected without increasing the rearward inclination of this blade by means of the angular relation of the arms H H to the shank portions g. The angular points lo of these hoes are somewhat acute, as the blades are horizontal andthe arms rearwardly inclined, as shown in the drawings. In the construction illustrated the screw-rod F serves to assist in fastening the hoe-shanks to the standard, and also receives the rear ends or eyes l of the braces m, which extend to the forward ends of the side bars.
To the rear surfaces of the standards are bolted the Shanks s ot' the cultivator-teeth or shovel-carrying beams S, formed with inner and lateral branches, as shown in the drawings. These shovel-beams extend well to the rear from their shank portions, and are so arranged that their shovels follow at a little distance behind the respective hoes. The points ot' the shovels are adjusted lower than the cuttingedges of the hoes.
It will be seen that the hoes can be adjusted to run very close to a row ot' plants, cutting oft' the weeds and leaving the ground level behind. The cultivatorteeth, following, work the ground immediately afterward. In this manner much time is saved, as the cultivating and weeding is eifected in once going over the ground, and the result is quite perfect and satisfactory. The height of the handles is easily adjusted to suit the operator and the work, and any change required in the width between the standards can be readily effected. The wheel is of good size and serves to hold up the front ofthe implement and to steady its movement, keeping the hoes from being forced sidewise when they encounter large weeds. In combination with the slotted standards and handles, the wheel also serves to regulate the depth of action in the soil of the hoes and cultivator Ion' teeth. As these parts are detachable from the standards, either hoes or cultivator attachments can be used separately when it may be required for special purposes.
I am aware. that some of the elements herein shown and described have been approximated prior to 1n y invention, and I claim protection only for the liinited construction hereinafter specifically pointed out.
Having' described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
In a horse hoe and cnltivator, the combination, with vvertically and laterally adjustable standards E E, of the opposite lateral hoes, G G', secured by their Shanks g to the outer sides of said standards, and the cultivator attachments S S, secured by their vertical shanks s s to the rear edges of said standards, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
