CULTI VATO R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 256,612, dated April 18, 1982.
Application filed September 9, 1881. (ModeL) To all whom a may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT H. AVERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Galesburg, in the county of Knox and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cultivators; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap- Io pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings, and 'to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to cultivators of that class in which the plow-gangs are arranged to cultivate both sides of a row of plants simultaneously, and are drawn by an axle or frame mounted on supporting-wheels, to which axle or frame said wheels are hinged, so that they zo-may be deflected or swung obliquely to the frame for the purpose of changing the direction of the path of the cultivator when in' operation in the field.
The principal object of this invention is to 2 provide .novel means whereby the operator may deflect the wheels on the frame simultaneously, and thereby change the direction ofthe path of the frame and plow-gangs and to this end this invention consists in the use of arms 0 projecting from the wheel spindles or journals, which arms are connected in such manner that both wheels may be deflected in the same direction and at the same time.
A further object in the invention is to provide novel means whereby the operator, in swinging the rear end of one of the plow-gangs to either side, will thereby deflect both sup porting-wheels so as to move the axle or frame, and thereby the forward ends of the plow 4o beams or gangs, over toward that side of the path of the cultivator toward which he swung the rear end of the plow-beam; and to this end the invention consistsin combinations of parts and constructions hereinafter described 5 and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, and in which the same reference-letter indicates the same part in the different figures, Figure l is a perspective;
0 Fig. 2, a top plan; Fig. 3, a side elevation;
Fig. 4, a perspective of one end of the axle, partly broken away to show the hinge.
Referring to the drawings by letters, letter A represents an ordinary cultivator-axle, with an elevated central part, a, side parts, a, 5 5 horizontal end parts, a, the outer ends, a, of which are hinged to the parts a, as hereinafter described. y
B is a tongue fixed to the elevated central part of the axle and braced by rods 12. 4
00 are the supporting-wheels,journaled on the parts aof the axle. The inner ends of the parts a are bent upward at right angles to the parts a, and are journaled at their upper and lower ends in brackets 11" on the ends of the parts a, as shown at Fig. 4, whereby the wheels may be deflected or swung, as indicated by dotted lines at Fig. 2. This axle may be constructed in any desired manner, the tongue fixed upon it in any desired manner, and the wheels fixed thereon in any desired manner which will permit of swinging them, as herein described and as well understood at this time by those skilled in the art.
D D are plow-gangs of ordinary construc- 7 5 liOU, and may have ordinary handles when it is desired to use the implement as a walkingciltivator. Each plow-gang has a bracket, d, at its forward end, which embraces a block,E, and is hinged thereto by a vertical bolt, 0, so that the gangs mayloeswung laterally thereon. The blocks E are slotted "critically, and a stirrup, F, which embraces the end a, of the axle, passes through said slot, and has nutsfon its outer end. i 8 The blocks E may be adjusted in higher and lower planes, and held after adjustment by the nuts f, for the purpose of governing the depth of penetration of the soil by the plows.
The stirrup F may be adjusted at different 0 locations on the part a, and held also by the nutsf, for the purpose of adjusting the distance between the plow-gangs. A plate, G, is bent at its ends to encircle the part a of the axle, and the edges 9 of its central portion pro- 5 ject rearward to form a rest for the block E. The stirrup F passes around the plate or sleeve G, and the plate G turns on the part a. of the axle to permit of swinging the plow-gangs in vertical planes. 10o
His a bar secured to the tongue B, and I is a bar pivoted thereto at its mid-length portion at i. The outer ends of the bar I are connected by links t" with the upper ends of cranks or arms J, which project upwardly and inwardly from the parts a, so that by oscillating the bar I, the hinged wheels 0 C may be swung simultaneously and in the same direction, as indicated by the dotted lines at Fig. L. An arm, I, extends rearwardly from thebar I, by means of which the bar I may be oscillated.
K is abar which maybe reciproeated lengthwise of itself and transversely of the cultivator in stirrups k on the rear end of the tongue. A pin, k, may be passed through a hole, la", in the bar K, and a hole, i, in the arm I, for securing them to each other.
L is an arm, hinged at its lower end to the side of one of the plow-beams or gangs I), and its upper portion passes through one of a series of holes, 70 in the outer end of the slidebar K, to permit adjusting the bar L laterally in the bar K to correspond with the lateral adjustment 0! the plow-beams. The arm L is stayed by a slotted plate, M, secured to the plow-beam, as shown.
N is a'bar fixed to therear end of the tongue, and hasa hole,n. Bypassing thepin is through the hole in the arm I and the hole in the bar N the arm I will belocked and held from movementendwise, and will thereby hold the wheels from being deflected when desired. With the pin it removed from the arm I, so as to leave it tree to move, said arm may be taken hold of by the operator and used in the evident mannerto deflect the supporting-wheels, and thereby control the path ol the cultivator, w hetber the arm L is t-onnected with the bar K or not. The arm L passing through the holein the bar K will slide in said hole and not interfere with raising and lowering the rear end of the plow gang or beam; but when said gangor beam is swung laterally the arm L will slide the bar K, and thereby dellect the wheels 0 O, or swing them in a direction to carry the front ends of the plow-gangs over toward the same side toward which the rear ends of the gangs or beams were swung, and thus enable the operator to quickly and easily move the plows toward either side to avoid plants out ot line, or for other purposes.
It will be readily seen that the crank-arms J may be differently constructed from what I have shown, and that the device for connecting them may be variously constructed and arranged, and may be connected with the plowgang differently from what I have shown; so 1 do not limit my claims to the precise construction nor arrangement of these parts. do I limit my claims to cultivators having tongues or draft-poles, as it will be seen that the main features in theinvention may be used in a cultivator withouta tongue by supposing the tongue to be removed forward of the axle and the remaining portion to be secured to the axle; but
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In combination with the axle and wheels hinged thereto and arms projecting Irom the wheel-spindles, the transverse pivoted bar I and links i, connecting the arms J, a bar, I, extending rearwardly from the bar I,by means of which the bar I may be oscillated and the wheels deflected, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In combination with the axle or frame having swinging wheels with arms J, the bars I I, sliding bar K, and plow-beam D, the rods or arms L, adapted to move the wheels by the lateral movement of the plow-beam, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
3. In combination with the bars I I for operating the swinging cultivatorwheels, and with the sliding bar K, the rigid bar N, to which the bar I may be locked, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
4. In combination with the sliding bar K and plow beam or gang, the rod L, adapted to move freely in the bar K to permit the plowbeam to swing vertically without moving the bar K, and to move said bar-K when theplowbeam is swung laterally, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
5. In combination with the axle or frame having swinging wheels with arms J, the links 2', bars I I, sliding bar K, having a series of adjusting-holes, k anti plow-beam D,the rods or arms L, adapted to move the wheels by the lateral movement of the plow-beam, substantially as and tor the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
