CHARLES E. PATRIO, OF SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE SUPERIOR DRILL COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

GRAIN-DRILL HOE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,390, dated November 27, 1888.

Application filed May 19, 1888.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. PATRIO, acitizenofthe United States,residingatSpringfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grain-Drill Hoes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hoes for grain-drills.

The object of my invention is to provide a hoe for grain-drills having a gage-wheel of novel construction attached thereto.

My invention consists in the combinations and constructions of parts hereinafter de scribed, and set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation view of a grain-drill hoe embodying my.invention. Fig. 2 is a partial sectional view of the same on the line at 00 in Fig. l. Fig. 3 isa longitudinalsectional view through the gage-wheel, showing the method of attaching the same to its hanger. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the gage-Wheel hanger, showing the method of attaching the parts of the same together.

Like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference throughout the several views.

In the said drawings, A represents the hoe proper, which may be of any ordinary construction, and provided with suitable means for connection to the drag-bars of the drill in a well known manner.

13 is a gage-wheel journaled in a suitable hanger, G, which islattached to the hoe, so that the gage-wheel comes immediately in line with the point of said hoe and supports the same at any desired distance above or below the bottom of said wheel, as hereinafter more fully set forth.

The hangerO is secured tothe hoe A through the medium of a flange, D, preferably cast in tegral with the said hoe and provided with a series of holes, a, adapted to receive a con meeting-bolt, b, which passes through one of said holes and through the inner ends of the hanger O, to hold said hanger in position.

In order to secure rigidity in the connection between the hanger O and the flange D with simplicity of parts, I construct the flange D on either side with small projecting ribs 0 c, forming substantially a T-shaped flange, the

Serial No. 274,407. (No model.)

said ribs 0 being adapted to fit in grooves d d on the inner surface of the respective parts of the said hanger.

Thehanger O, which supports the gage-wheel B, is made in two parts, e 6'. Located between the said parts,and preferably cast integral with the part 6, is a scraper, 0", adapted to project forwardly over the wheel B for the purpose of cleaning the same. In order to connect the parts rigidly together and at the same time permit the same to be readily detached for cleaning, repairs, or otherwise, and permit the gage-wheel to turn freely, I provide at the outer end of said hanger a sleeve, f, prefererably cast with a chill and adapted to form a bearing for the wheel B, the hub of which is bored out to lit the said sleeve. The sleeve f is made a trifle longer than the hub of the wheel B, and is clamped securely between the parts 6 e by a clamping-bolt, f, which passes through the said sleeve and the respective parts of the hanger, one of the said parts being preferably provided with a square opening.f into which the square portion of the boltf is adapted to flt to prevent the same from turning. Extending outwardly from the side of the scraper c" is a small pin or pr jection, 6, adapted to fit in an opening, 0', in the lug e on the part c.

In assembling the parts of the device the sleeve is slipped through the hub of the wheel and placed between the parts 6 e of the hanger G. The projection e is passed into the opening 6', and the bolt f passed through the sleevefand the respective parts 6 e of the hanger, and the said parts clamped tightly against the said sleeve. The hanger is then slipped over the flange D, with the projecting ribs 0 c in the grooves d in the hanger. The connectingbolt b is passed through the respective parts of the hanger at the forward end and through one of the openings a in the flange D, thus connecting the gage-wheel and the hoe firmly together.

By changing the position of the fasteningbolt b in the various holes a of the series the gage-wheel may be readily adjusted to any desired height to secure the requisite depth of planting.

It will be seen that by'this construction a gage-wheel is provided by which the depth of the hoe may be accurately regulated, the gagewheel at the same time serving to cover the grain and paelr the earth over the same.

It will he St'Cll that as constructed the device is simple, composed of but few parts, and readily adjustable or detachable in connection with said hoe.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. A grain-drill hoe having a longitudinal flange with projecting ribs attached thereto, the gage-wheel and its hanger secured to said flan e, the projecting ribs on said flange adapt ed to engage with grooves in said hanger, and means, substantially as described, for conneeting said hanger to said flange, subslalr tially as specified.

2. A grain-drill hoehaving a T shaped connecting-flange and a series of openings therein, a gagewheel and its hanger provided with grooves adapted to engage with the projections on said T-shaped flange, and a connect ingholt adapted to pass through the hanger and the said openings and thus connect the gage-wheel to the hoe, substantially as specifled.

3. Agage-wheel fora grain-drill hoe hav' ing a hanger composed of two parts, one of which is provided with a scraper adapted to project over said wheel. a projection on said scraper adapted to fit in an opening in the other part of said hanger, a sleeve adapted to forma bearing for the gage-wheel in said hanger, said sleeve being slightly longer than the hub of said wheel, and a clamping-bolt extending through said sleeve for connecting the parts together, substantially as specified.

A gage-wheel for a grain-dril1 hoe, of a hanger composed of two parts, one of said parts 0 being provided with a projection adapted to extend into an opening in the other part, a sleeve adapted to form a hearing for said gagewheel in said hanger, said sleeve being slightly longer than the hub of said wheel, and a clam ping-bolt passing through said sleeve adapted to hold the parts of the hanger together and at the same time secure the said wheel in place, substantially as specified.

5. Agraindrill hoe having aT-shaped flange provided with a series of openings therein, a gage-wheel the hanger of which is made in two parts, one of which is provided with a scraper having a projection adapted to fit in an opening in the other part, grooves in said hanger adapted to titover the Tshaped flange, and a conneeti ng-bolt adapted to pass through the respective openings in said flange and connect the gage-heel and hanger thereto, sub stantially as set forth.

6. A graindrill hoe having a longitudinal T-shaped flange with aseries of openings therein, a gage-wheel the hanger of which is composed of two parts, one of which has a scraper east integral therewith and provided with a projection adapted to extend into an opening in the other part, a sleeve and its clamping-bolt adapted to form a journal for said gage-wheel, grooves in the respective parts of said hanger adapted to engage with the projections on said T-shaped flange, and a connectingbolt for securing the parts of said pailiger to said flange, substantially as speci- In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of May, A. D. 1888.
