(JHARLES E. HOYER, OF KOMSTAD, SOUTH DAKOTA.
SHOE OR FURROW-OPENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 772,146, dated October 11, 1904.
Application filed Ju ie 21, H304. Serial No. 213,485. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. HOYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kornstad, county of Clay, and State of South Dakota, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shoes or Furrow-Openers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a new and useful improvementin corn-planter shoes, and has for its object to provide a device of this description which will not become clogged with straw, manure, and the like, but will divert the same to one side.
With these ends insview this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claims.
In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, the construction and operation will now be described in detail, referring tothe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved shoe; Fig. 2, a front elevation of the same.
My improved shoe or furrow opener is straight along the lower edge and is provided at its rearward portion with the usual planterfoot A.
B is the standard by which the shoe may be attached to the machine; and my invention lies in the construction of the forward end of the shoe, the same being pointed and extending upward and backward upon an incline, as
represented at O. The inclined forward end extends upward a distance above the body'of the shoe, and that portion of the forward end above the body of the shoe is bent laterally to one side, as shown in Fig. 2, and lettered D, and the extreme upper end of the laterallybent portion D lies about two and one-half inches to oneside of the standard B. The object of this formation is that as the shoe travels through the ground any straw or manure tending to clog the forward end of the shoe will ride upward upon the incline C and be I carried to one side by the laterally-bent porfront of the planter-foot, because it diverts to one side. This shoe can also be made without the upper standard-brace, if desired. It can then be made shorter and only attached to the planter-foot. The forward end of the shoe in that case would be just the same, only it would be nearer the foot. It will thus be seen that with this form of shoe it will not jump out of the ground. It will never clog in front of the upper brace or foot of the planter as other furrow-openers are liable to do, because whatever istaken up out of the ground is dropped upon the ground two or three inches outside of the shoe.
Of course I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction here shown, as slight modifications could be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful isl. Ina shoe or furrow-opener, a body portion, a planter-foot at the rear of the body portion, the forward end of the body portion being pointed and formed upon an incline upward and rearward, the upper end of the inclinedportion extending above the body portion and being bent laterally so that the upper point lies to one side of the planter-foot, as and for the purpose specified;
2. In a shoe or furrow-opener, a body portionstraight along its lower edge, a planterfoot formed at the rear of the body portion, an upright standard-brace extending upward from the body portion, the forward end of the body portion being pointed and inclined upward and rearward, an extension formed at the forward end of the body portion extending upward and the forward surface of said extension forming a continuance of the incline, said extension also bent to one side, the upper point of said extension lying a considerable distance to one side of the standardbrace and planter-shoe, as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I havehereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHARLES E. HOYER.
