GAGE-WHEEL FOR PLOWS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 613,662, dated November 8, 1898.
Application led August 30,1898.
To all whom it may concern,.-
Beit known that I, ANTON CARLSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pierce City, in the county of Lawrence and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Gage-Wheel for Plows, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in gagewheels for plows; and the object is to provide an improved means by which the gage-wheel maybe easily and quickly raised by the driver without leaving his position at the plow-handles, so that when plowing washed-out ground or when the plow encounters obstructionssuch as stones, rocks, and stubble in the path v of the implementthe gage-wheel may be thrown out of service.
A further obj ect of the invention is to provide an improved construction comprising a small number of parts each of a simple nature and united solidly together to producea substantial attachment which may be easily applied to ordinary plows, and this attachment is guided to reduce the strain on the working parts and equipped with a latch mechanism adapted to hold the lever and gage-wheel in their adjusted positions.
With these ends in view the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
To enable others to understand the invention, it is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view ofa plow with my improved gage attachment applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the parts shown by Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical crosssection on the plane indicated by the dotted line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4. is a detail perspective view of the lever. Fig. 5 is a similar view of the guide-sector.
Like numerals of reference denote like and corresponding parts in each of the several figures of the drawings.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide a main or operating lever 10, which is cast in a single piece of metal in the form shown more clearly by Fig. 4 of the drawings. At one end this lever'is formed with an an- Serial No. 689,821. (No model.)
gular grip-piece 1l, and the other end of the lever has an integral arm 14, which extends at an obtuse angle to the longitudinal axis of the lever. At the angle formed by the end of the lever and its arm 12 a notch 13 is formed in4 one face of the casting, and a simiwith an integral lug 17, while the arm 16 has a similar lug 18. The sector and its arm are assembled in such relation tothe lever that the lugs 17 18 will be received in the notches 14c 13, respectively, of the lever 10 and its arm 12. This arrangement of the sector with relation to the lever brings the arm 16 in alinement longitudinally with the lever 10, While the free end of the sector is adapted for attachment to the'corresponding end of the lever-arm 12. The sector and its arm are thus adapted for union with the lever and the arm 12 thereof by lapjoints, and said sector and the lever-arm are united lirmly together bya rivet or bolt 19, which passes through the notched end 14. of the arm and the lug 17 of the sector.
At the angle formed by the juncture of the sector and its arm there is provided a short shaft or journal 20, on which is loosely mounted the gage-wheel 21, which may be of any preferred construction.
The lever is fulcrumed on one side of the plow-beam in a substantial manner by a horizontal bolt 22, which passes through the lever at the angle of its arm 12 and also through the lug 18 of the sector-arm 16, thus confining the vsector-arm in the notched angle of the lever by the same bolt which serves as the fulcrum for said lever. The fulcrum-bolt 22 passes through the plowbeam to receive a nut or cap on its threaded protruding end, and the headed end of the bolt bears against the ex posed edge or face of the lever.
The lever and the attached sector are movable in a vertical plane on the horizontal ful IOO crum-bolt 22, and this play of the lever and its sector is guided by a bolt which plays in a longitudinal slot 2G of the sector l5. The guide-bolt 27 has an enlarged head 28, that bears against the outside of the slotted sector, and this bolt is reduced to form the shoulder 29 and the stem 30. The shoulder of said bolt bears or abuts against the side of a plowbeam, While the stem passes through the beam to receive a nut 31, which may be tightened against the beam, so as to draw the shoulder 29 of the bolt firmly against one side of the beam, whereby the guide-bolt may be fastened firmly in place without causing the head 2S thereof "to bind against the face of the guide-sector.
To hold the adjusting-lever and the gagewheel mounted on the sector in their adjusted positions, I provide a locking-rack 32, which is cast in a single piece of metal to produce an arm 33 and a notched bar 34, and to provide for the proper application and secure attachment of this locking-rack to a plowbeam the arm and bar are formed with the integral foot-flanges 35, which are adapted to rest upon the plow-beam and to be secured firmly thereto by the vertical bolts 36. The locking-rack is fastened iirmly to the beam, so as to have its segmental notched bar 34 concentric to the fulcrum-bolt 22, and on the swinging operating-lever is mounted a spring-controlled locking-bolt, which is adapted to engage with the notched bar of the locking-rack to maintain the lever and the gage-wheel in either of their several positions. Secured rigidly to one side of the lever, contiguous to the locking-rack, is the spring-housing 37, which is provided with a forwardly-extended lip 38, that is adapted to lap over and ride against one side of the notched segmental bar 34 of the locking rack, thus insuring the proper position of the lever and its housing in relation to the locking-rack. Within this housing is a slidable bolt 39, which is normally pressed toward the rack by a spring 40, and to the heel of this bolt is attached a pitman, cord, or wire 40, which extends along the lever to a handpiece 4l. This handpiece has the lugs 42 pivoted at 43 to the lever and its grip-piece ll, and said handpiece is thus mounted on the lever to provide a short arm 44, adapted to contact with the lever and to serve as a stop to limit the movement of the handpiece in relation to the grip ll of the lever.
In applying my attachment to a plow-beam the parts or members of such attachment are assembled together and the fulcrum-bolt 22 is passed through the lever to pivotally mount the same on one side of the beam, thus providing a iirni support for the lever and the gage-wheel. The guide-bolt is passed through the slot in the sector for its head to engage with said sector, while the stem of the bolt is attached firmly to the beam. The lockingnut has its foot-flanges resting upon the beam, to which it is rmly secured by the vertical bolts, and the notched bar of this rack is in a position for the spring-bolt to engage therewith. To raise the gage-wheel out of contact with the ground, the driver operates the handpiece 4l to retract the bolt from the notched bar of the locking-rod, and then the lever is depressed to lift the segment and the gagewheel, said segment traveling over the headed guide-bolt. The gage-wheel may be lowered into position by reversing the movement of the lever, and the parts may be held firmly in their adjusted positions by the latch-bolt engaging with the notched bar of the rack. The sector directs the lever in its vertical adj ustment to insure accuracy of presentation of the gage-wheel to the ground and relieves the fulcrum-bolt of undue strain. The locking-rack occupies a compact position on the beam, and it is of substantial construction, so that it will withstand a great deal of strain. The entire device may be attached easily to any kind of a plow, and it is not liable to break or get out of order. The gage-wheel may be easily and quickly raised or lowered without requiring the driver to leave his station at the handles of the implement. The attachment consists of a small number of parts which may be readily assembled together to produce a substantial construction, and each part is simple and cheaply cast in a single piece.
Changes may be made in the form of some of the parts while their essential features are retained and the spirit of the invention embodied. Hence I do not desire to be limited to the precise form of all the parts as shown, reserving the right to vary therefrom.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is- 1. In a gage-wheel attachment for plows, a lever provided with an angular arm and with notches at the angular portion and at the free end of said arm, and a slotted guide-sector provided with an arm and with lugs at the extremities of said sector and its arm, said lugs adapted to it in the notch of the lever and its arm to bring the arm of the sector in alinement with the lever, in combination with a gage-wheel journaled on the sector, and a locking mechanism, substantially as described.
2. A gage-wheel attachment for plows comprisin g a lever having a sector united rigidly thereto and said sector provided with a longitudinal slot, a guide-bolt passing through the slot of the sector and having` a shouldered stem adapted to be fastened to a plow-beam and with a head to ride against the slotted sector, and a locking mechanism to hold the lever and the gage-wheel in their adjusted positions, substantially as described.
