SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,109, dated May 17, 1887.

Application tiled February 23, 1887. Serial No. 228,530.

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEALY BILLUrs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norfolk, county of Norfolk, State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Plows, of which the following is a specification.

rI his invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in plows; and it consists, substantially, in the same as constructed, and in such peculiar arrangement and combinations of parts, as will hereinafter be more particularly described, and pointed out in the claims.

The invention has for its object to so construct both the mold-board and the point of the plow for attachment to the standard that their adjnstability may be readily effected without removal of the nuts by which they are secured, and also by such construction to enable the parts to be cast and removed from the sand without a core.

Further, the invent-ion has for its object to provide simplified means by which the plowbeam may be readily adjusted vertically at its rear end to vary the inclination of the point or share and be quickly secured t-o said adj ustment. Further, to so attach the handles to the standard that they may be conveniently varied or adjusted to position; and,inally, the invention has such additional objects in view as will more fully appear from the description hereinafter following.

Before proceeding with the details of construction and arrangement of the parts contributing toward my invention, I would state that I am aware that the objects sought to be accomplished by me are not new, broadly, as they have all been accomplished heretoforein different ways; but the purpose onf the present invention isin the main to so simplify the arrangement, construction, and combinations of these parts as that their cost is reduced `to a minimum, and many inconveniences heretofore experienced greatly overcome.

Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a plow embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 a rear view thereof. Fig. 3 isadetail sectional view of a portion of thestandard, beam, and handles, the same indicating more clearly (No model.)

the manner of adjusting the rear end of the beam for regulating the pitch or inclination of the point or share7 Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 3, wherein a modification of the adjusting frame or device is illustrated. Fig. 5 is a top or plan view of the point and moldboard, together with a portion of the standard in section, this figure showing the manner of attachment of said point and mold-board tothe standard by means of bolts and securing-nuts. Fig. G is a similar view to Fig. 5, showing the manner of attachmentof the same devices as when the mold-boardis made in two parts. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of the plow share or point to show vits construction for attachment to the standard. Fig. 8 isa like view ofthe mold-board forasimilar purpose. Fig. 9 is a perspective detail of the adjusting frame or device, to which the rear end of the plow-beam is secured in such manner as to have a slight swing or play horizontally; and Fig. I0 is a similar view of a modification of such device. Fig. ll is a rear elevation of the serrated yoke either attached to or formed with the standard, and in which the adj Listing-frame for the beam works.

Reference being had to the several parts by the letters marked thereon, A represents the plow-standard slotted at its upper forward end, as at a, and having rearward of such slotted portion a yoke or receiver, b, the said yoke being either formed with the standard or separate therefrom and suitably attached, the Same in either case to have the recess c, and pro` vided on its rear side with the notches or serrations d.

B represents the plow-beam,attached to the standard by a bolt, c, extending into the slot a and secured by means of a nut, as shown. Passing downwardly through the rear end of this beam is a pin or bolt, f, provided on its lower end with a lip, f', fitting beneath the projecting ledge or top of the adjustable frame or device C, and between the extended corners g g thereof, as shown, thus allowing the necessary limited play of the rear end of the beam in a horizontal plane. This device C is formed with extended sides h 71 bywhich 'to embrace the two sides of the yoke b, while between these sides a rib, t, extends, adapted for engagement with the notches or serrations of IOO such yoke, thus enabling an adjustment of the inclination ofthe standard, the parts C and b being held together by means of a screw-bolt, j, passing through the hole 7c of the former and resting in the recess c of the latter, and secured by a nut, as shown. In Figs. lland 10i have illustrated a modied form of this adj usting-frame C, and wherein, instead of having the lip ofthe bolt fitting beneath the projecting ledge of the top, I have shown the pin or bolt as working within a slot ofthe top, which projects forwardly of the plow, as shown, instead of rearwardly thereof, as in the iirst instance.

Z Z 'indicate projections formed on each side of the plow-standard at its upper rearward y end, between which the handlesDare allowed a slight movement forwardly and backwardly, and these handles are supported in a curved slot, m, of the standard by means of a bolt andr nut, as shown. It is evident that a small f curvature of thisslot will suiiice for as full adj ustment of the handles as is required in practice, it only being necessary to loosen the nut and again tighten it when the adjustment has been effected. The forward lower end of the standard is formed with a slot, n, and it is through this slot that the securing-bolts o and p for the point and mold-board are passed, theparts being secured in position by tightening the nuts q and r.

E represents the plow share or point,which is recessed, as at s, for the reception of the -point of the standard, (see Fig. 7,) and is formed beneath to `one side of such recess -with a rib or flange, t, having in its rear edge a slightly-curved notch, u, the said rib fitting snugly or. closely against the side ofthe standard (its slotregistering with the slot n thereof) when the point is secured in place. The standard is formed or provided on its side'beneath the slot with a slightly-inclined plane or flange, o, upon which the lower edge of the rib t rides on inserting the point, and by which the latter is assisted in being held toits place after` being secured in position. If desired, asimilar rib may be provided on the bottom of the pointto iit against the opposite side of the standard in likev manner, a single bolt and nut only being required in either case.

F represents the mold-board, which is fitted to the front of the standard, with its lower edge conforming to and resting upon the upper edge of the point E. The said .mold-board is also provided with a rib, w, projecting from its inner side, and which is provided with a notch, w', extending inward or upward from cidingwith notch n of the standard.

The manner of securing both the inold-board and point to the standard is by the screw-bolts q and r, which pass through the slots of the ribs and that of such standard and are provided with tightening-nuts, as shown.` It is evident that adjustments of either can be made without entire removal of the nuts, and that from the constructions thereof they can be cast without a core. In some instances I propose to construct the mold-board in two parts, (see modification, Fig. 6,) in which event each part will have the slotted ribs to corresponding or opposite sides of the standard; but the same boltand nut will sufce to hold them in place in either case. Again, also, when making the mold-board of a single piece 4I may employ a rib, 1U, on each side of the standard and formed with said mold-board. For a view of the internal construct-ion of the latter see Fig. 8.

Having thus described my invention,whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a plow, the combination,with the standard having yoke (Z and curved slot m, and formed or provided on opposite sides with projections Z Z, of the device C, having extended corners and embracing and engaging the yoke, the beam, the pin f, passing through the bealn and engaging the device() between its corners, and the handles D, passing between theprojections Z Z and adjustably secured in the slot m by a boltand nut, substantially as described.

2. In a plow,the combinatiomwith the standard having yoke b, constructed as described,

of the device C, having extended sides and v corners g g, and sides h h, embracing the yoke, the beam, and the pin f, passing through the beam and engaging the device C between its corners, substantially as described.

3. In aplow,the combinatiomwith thestandard formed with the slot n, of the plow-point, recessedy as at sfand formed or provided with rib t, having the notch u, and a bolt and nut securing said point to the standard, Asubstantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

4. In a plow,the co1nbination,with the standard having slotn and iiange n, of the point having recess s, and formed or provided with notched rib 1, the moldboard also formed with a notched rib, and bolts and nutsfor adjustably securing said point and mold-board tothe standard, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof Ihave hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses. A
