Description

F.BARNEY. Wheel-Cultivator.
No. 43.470. Patelited July 12, 1864.
N.PETE.RS. PHQiaLnHDGRAPHER, WASHINGTON D O.
I UNITED I STATES PATENT QFFICEQ FRANK BA'RNEY, OF BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS IMPROVEMENT IN CULTIVATO RS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 43,470, dated July 12, 1864.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK BARNES, of Bloomington, in the county of McLean and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Uultivator; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings,forming apart of this specification, in which- Figuie 1 represents a longitudinal vertical section of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference in both views indicate corresponding parts.
This invention consists in the application of a hand-lever, in combination with a triple crankshaft and with the hinged standards of the front and rear plows, in such a manner that by the action of said lever the front shares can be moved laterally, and at the same time bythe combined action of the lever and crankshaft the front and rear shares can be raised from the ground simultaneously at any moment. 7
To enable those skilled in the art to make and use myinvention, I will proceed to describe it. t
A represents a frame, made of wood or any other suitable material, and supported by two wheels, 13, which have their hearings on the ends of the stationary axle O. A draftpole, D, serves to draw the cultivator through the field, and the frame A is elevated to such a height above the ground that it passes over the growing plants, partly by the large size of the wheels and partly by curving the ends of the axle G downward. The frame A is composed of fourlmore or less) longitudinal bars, a a, and a similar number of cross-bars, b b, and the longitudinal bars a a form the bearings for the gudgeons c of the standards E, to which the rear plows, F, are secured, and for the forked swivel-brackets c, which sustain the standards Eof the front plows, F. The standards E of the rear plows are secured to their gudgeons a, so that they swing up and down in a vertical plane, but are not capable to move in a lateral direction independent of the frame A; but the front standards, E, are
secured to the forked brackets c by means of pivots d in such a manner that they swing in a vertical and in a lateral direction, and to prevent them from moving one independent of the other they are connected by brakes e, secured to the same by means of pivots, so that they do not interfere with their lateral motion.
G is a crank-shaft, which has its hearings in suitable boxes attached to the longitudinal bars a of the frame A. The ends of this shaft form cranks f, which connect by chains and rods 9 with the rear standards, E, and two arms, f, which are rigidly secured to the same, connect by chains and. rods 9 with the front standards, E. Another arm,h, which extends upward from the crankshaft G, connects by a rod, 73, with a hand-lever, H, which has its fulcrum on a pivot, j, in a swivel bracket, 7c, inserted into one of the longitudinal bars, a.
The lower end of this lever is connected to one of the front standards, E, by means of a staple, l, or in any other suitable manner, andits top end is in convenient position to be operated from the drivers seat.
By depressing the hand-lever H in the direction of the arrow marked near it in Fig. 1 all the plows are raised out of the ground simultaneously, and by moving the upper end of the lever in a lateral direction a lateral motion can be imparted to the front plows in either direction, and said plows can thus be accommodated to the sinnosities of the rows.
This plow is very simple in its construction. It is easily operated, and all its parts are so arranged that they are not liable to get out of repair.
' What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The hand-lever H, with its swivel-fulcrum 7c, in connection with the crank shaft G, hinged 'rear standards,E, and swivel front standards,
E, all constructed and operating in. the manner and forthe purpose substantiallyas herein specified.
