HARROW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,819, dated March 27, 1883.

Application filed December 7, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN DAVID PRIVETT,

of Alabama, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Harrows, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to the annexed drawings,

' The object of this invention is to provide flexible harrow which shall be adapted to yield the novel construction hereinafter described In the drawings,Figure l is a plan view, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation, of my improved harrow'. I

A indicates a number of bars having harone to another by links or rods 0, which are loosely connected to eyebolts D, secured in said bars by nuts E. The two eyebolts, which are serted from opposite sides, one near the upper, surface and the other near the lower surface of said bar, so that when the series of bars are connected together in the manner described the bars and their teeth will be inclined out of a perpendicular position. Alonby means of hooks and links or chains G,counecting its ends with the front and rear bars,

(No model.)

or with the front bar and a supplemental bar, H, connected to the rear bar by the arms I The object of the bar F and its connections is to give the necessary rigidity to the barrow.

J represents the harrow-teeth, each having two sharp edges, and having its upper end twisted into a vertical plane at right angles to that of the lower part, and screwed or bolted to the bar A. With. this construction the ,teeth may be reversed edge for edgewhen one edge becomes dull.

If desired, the barrow may be formed in two sections by cutting the bars A transversely near their centers, so that one side of the bar row can be lifted independently of the other,

What I claim as new is- The improved harrow consisting of the toothed bars connected together by eyebolts which are inserted through the bars from opposite sides, one near the upper and the other near the lower surface of said bars, the supplemental bar H, and the longitudinal bar F, combined with the toothed bars and loosely connectedto the first of the same and to the bar'H by the chains G, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

JOHN DAVID PRIVETT.
