RIDING-HARROW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,529, dated September 23, 1884. Application fne Maren io, 1884. (No model.)
j and it consists of the novel construction of a harrow having a closed platform provided With rearwardly-curved knifeteeth, in combination with an improved detachable seatstandard and inverted runners, all as hereinafter fully set forth.
I am aware that harrows constructed with a closed platform have been heretofore used; also, that rearwardly-curved knife-teeth, a detachable seat-frame, and inverted runners are not new, and I do not claim such, broadly; but heretofore such devices have either been constructed in a different form, or have been used severally in connection with certain other devices not herein specified.
Tt is the object of my invention to improve and combine these several features, as hereinafter set forth, so as to provide a riding-harrow of simpler construction, lighter draft, and better adapted to pulverize the soil than harrows heretofore used, and provide a better method of attaching the seat-standard, and adapting the harrow to be used upside down. I attain these objects by constructing the harrow as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a harrow embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a'side view of one of my improved knife-teeth for the harrow; Fig. 3 is a top View of the harrow,
showing my improved method of arranging the knife-teeth in the harrow-platform.
Referring. to the drawings, B is the platform-or frame,l which is made of plank closely tted together7 so as to present an even continuous surface on both sides. It is provided with low inverted runners R R acrossthe top at each end of the platform 5 also one across the middle, R. These runners help to stiffen the platform and hold it together, and are especially utilized when the harrow is turned upside down upon them to haul it from place to place, serving as a sled for such purpose. The central runner, R', isshorter than the end runners, and the slant which forms the runner-point forms a support f or the seat-standard c, which rests against 1t, and is secured in such position by the hook g, which engages the staple h, while lateral movement of the seat-standard is prevented by the overlapping band-stop c', which engages the sides of the runner R. n
D is the seat or saddle, which is attached to the standard c in the usualway. By this arrangement the seat and standard c may be readily detached from the platform to permit the harrow to beturned upside down by throwing them forward,when the hook becomes free from the staple.
A, Fig. 2, is one of the knife-teeth of the harrow. It is provided with a shank, s, to secure it to the platform. The projecting part of the tooth P is made like'a knife-blade, and has a rearwardly-curved edge, c, whereby 1t is enabled to cut through sods and clods without tearing them up or catching upon any obstructions whatsoever. These knife-teeth are set in parallel rows across the platform, but slightly diagonal with the frame, and so that the rows of teeth on. each side of the center converge rearwardly toward the rows on the opposite side, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the teeth of each row will follow each other 1n close succession, and the last tooth of each r'ow be followed by the rst tooth of the next adjacent row of teeth, each tooth cutting an independent furrow, and the furrows equidlstant (about one inch) from each other.
i By my arrangement of knife-teeth thin slices are successively out from the clods withbe loaded to make' it heavier, when necesh, andtheinvertedrnnners R R', substantially .Io
sary. as set forth.
Having thus fully described my invention, Intestimony whereof Ihereunto set myhand what I claim as new, and desire to secure by and seal. 5 Letters Patent, is'- In a harrow, the combination, with the PETER MOUGEY [L S] closed platform B, provided with knife-teeth Witnesses: A, of the detachable seat-standard e, pro- M. L. SMYSER,
vided With lateral stopt and hook g, the staple H. B. SWARTZ'.
