PLOW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 255,370, dated March 21, 1882.
Application filed August 24, i581.
To all whom it may concern:
. Be it known that I, GEORGE WIARD, ot'
Batavia, in the county ot' Genesee and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvelnents in Plow's, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain improvepreven ted from swinging so far on its pivot that the wheel would tend to guide the plow in an zo improper direction; also, ot a peculiar construction of the standard,whereby the handlefastening is located entirely on one side of the beam, near the mold-board, as will be hereinafter fully described. j
In the accompanying; drawings, consisting of two sheets, Figure 1 is a perspective view ot a plow provided with my improvementsJ Fig.2 is a side elevation,on an enlarged scale, ofthe caster-wheel. Fig. 3 is apartlysectional 3o front elevation thereof. Fig. 4t is a horizontal section in line xx, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an enlarged horizontal section in line y y, Fig. 2. Fig. Gis a sectional elevation of the caster-wheel- Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the plow with the beam removed. FigSisa rearelevation of theplow. Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several gures.
A represents the plow-point; B, the moldboard; C, the standard5D, the-jointer; E, the 4o beam, and F the caster-wheel. The latter is journaled in a bifurcated bearing, G, which issecured to the lower end ot a vertical pivotbolt, g, by aI screw-nut, g'. The bolt g turns in a sleeve, H, which is fastened to the front end of the plow-beam by an eyebolt, I. The sleeve H is provided on its outside with an angular edge or rib, i, and the plow-beam is provided with corresponding notches, i', into which the angular edge or rib i of the sleeve 5o is drawn by the eyebolt, which latter is shaped (No model.)
to correspond with the extension form of the sleeve H, as shown in Fig. 4. By this means the sleeve H is prevented from turning and retained in its proper position with reference to the beam. The sleeve is readily raised or lowered upon loosening the eyebolt'. The eye of the bearing G, which surrounds the bolt g, is provided on its upper side with one or two projections, h, and the lower end of. the sleeve H is provided with corresponding recesses, h', 6o into which the projections henter, and in which these projections move back and forth as the caster-wheel adjusts itself.on its pivot. The recesses h1 are made long` enough to permit the caster-Wheel to adjust itself for either two horses or three horses,and the stops h prevent the wheel from swinging` farther on the boltg than is necessary for this adjustment. By this means the wheel is prevented from swinging so far on its pivot as to deect the plow from 7o its proper course, while permitting the necessary play of the wheel. The boltg is held in the sleeve H by a split bolt, h2, which passes through the bolt and plays in elongated openings h3 in the sleeve. It is obvious that the 75 stops h may be formed on the sleeve and the recesses h in the bearing G, whereby the same results will be obtained.
4K represents a crcularcutter secured to one side ofthe caster-wheel F, preferably by bolts 8o 7c, so as to be removable from the wheel. The cutter K consists of a circular plate of steel having a sharp edge, which projects beyond the face of the wheel a suicient distance to cut the stems of clover and other plants which sometimes cover the surface ot' the ground to be plowed. The face of the wheel prevents the cutter K, which forms a revolving colter,
, from entering the ground to an improper depth,
and the cutter severs the vegetable matter 9o which covers the ground, thereby enabling the jointer D, which follows-in the track of the cutter K, to operate more effectively in opening` the ground. Whenthe plow is used on ground which renders the cutter K unnecessary, the latter is readily detached from the. wheel.
L represents the standard by which the jointer D is secured to the front end ot the plow-standard C. The faces or front sides ot' the upper portion of the standard L, and of roo that portion of the standard U to which it is secured, are inclined downwardly and backa1dly, so as to forni an obtuse angle with the under side ofthe plow-bearing, as shown atl, whereby stalks, weeds, &c., which are caught by the standard L, are caused to work downward and brought within reach ot' the moldboard of thejointerD, which seizes such stalks, weeds, &c., and turns them aside, away from the standard. ly this means weeds are prevented from accumulating;` under the beam in front of thejointer, and the draft ot' the plow is rendered easier, and the necessity ot' stop ping` the plow and removing,r the accumulated weeds is avoided. The rear portion ot' the standard G ot' the plow is turned toward the mold-board or provided with a shoulderoroit'- set, as shown at m, whereby the rear portion of the standard, to which the handlesNNare attached, is brought nearer the moldboard than the front portion ofthe standard, to which the beam E is attached. ll`he lower or front ends of the handles N N are secured to the rear portion ofthe standard in rear ot' the bend 1n, about on a level with the upper edge of the mold-board, by a horizontal bolt, o. The handles are further supported by a bracket, P, which is secured to the rear end ofthe standard C preferably by a bolt passing through a vertical slot in the rear end of the standard, so that the rear ends ot' the handles can be raised or lowered by adjusting' the bracket P on the standard. rlhe bracket P is provided with two arms, p p, each supporting one of the handles N, which latter are secured to the arms p of the bracket P by upright bolts 0. The bracket P is preferably provided with a slot or opening, q, which is adapted to receive and hold a wrench such as is ordinarily carried with a plow. The bend m in the standard C locates the point at which the handles Nare secured to the standard in a position in which the handles can be more conveniently held by the plownian walking` in the furrow than heretofore, and permits the handles to be secured at such a height that none of the soil turned over by the mold-board is liable to fall on the handles and clog up the plow.
I claim as my invention-' l. rlhe combination, with a plow-beam, of a easter-wheeljournaled in abearing,G, provided with one or more stops, h, a pivot-bolt, g, a sleeve, H, surrounding the boltg and secured to the beam, and one or more recesses, h', formed in the sleeve H, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination,with astandard, C,con structed with alateral bend or oltset, m,where by the rear portion ot' the standard is located nearer thev mold-board than its front portion, of a beam, E, secured to the standard infront ofthe bend m, and handles N, secured to the standard in rear ot' the bend m, substantially as set t'orth.
GEORGE WIARD.
