PATENTED 14, 1905 O. H. BAYSTON. RIDING ATTACHMENT FOR HARROWS.
APPLICATION FILED NOV. 22, 1904.
UNITED STATES Patented March 14, 1905.
PATENT OFFICE.
RIDING ATTACHMENT FOR HARROWS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,776, dated March l l, 1905.
Application filed November 22, 1904. Serial No. 233,855.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. BAYSTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chatsworth, Illinois. have invented new and useful Improvements in Riding Attachments for Harrows and Like Agricultural Implements, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an attachment for harrows and is a riding device adapted to be attached to an ordinary form of harrow, so that the attendant or farmer may ride during the operation of harrowing the soil.
It is the object of my invention to provide a simple construction which will be economical to build and which may be attached in a simple manner to an ordinary harrow and capable of being easily turned when the direction of movement of the harrow in changed.
The invention consists in the features and combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure Us a side elevation of the attachment. Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
The frame of the attachment consists of the metal bar of flat cross-section and arranged with its long dimension extending vertically, or, in other words, the frame is made up of a flat bar set up on edge. The bar is bent to provide parallel sides 1 and across-piece 2 at the rear end, the forward ends 3 being turned downwardly and provided with openings by which the attachment may be secured, by means of a clevis, to the harrow.
At a point forward of the rear cross-bar I bolt or rivet an arched piece 4, consisting of a flat metal bar having vertically-extending sides and bent to form a cross-piece at the top. Upon'this cross-piece the seat 5 for the rideris secured, and the arched piece is braced 'and held in position by means of inclined brace-rods 6, secured to the arch, near the top thereof, and inclining downwardly and rearwardly to points within the frame where they are riveted or bolted to the sides of the said frame.
The vertical sides of the arched plece are extended downwardly below the lower edge of the sides of the frame to afl'ord bearings for the cross shaft or pin 7, upon which is jour naled the carrying-wheel 8. This wheel is .held in a central position on the cross pin or shaft by means of the pins 9, extending through openings in the shaft and fitting against the ends of the hub of the carryingwheel. In front of the wheel the sides of the frame are connected by a cross-rod 10, which not only acts to hold the sides in proper position and strengthen the structure, but also affords a foot-rest for the rider. The attachment is designed to be secured to any desired part of the harrow, and having but a single wheel it will readily turn when the driver changes the direction of movement of the harrow.
- It will be seen from the structure described above that the weight of the rider is brought directly over the center of the wheel, and thus no extra weight is placed upon the harrow nor upon the horses.
I claim as my invention- In combination in a riding attachment for barrows and the like, a frame composed of a single flat bar of metal set on edge and bent substantially in the form ofa U so as to form parallel side bars and a rear cross-bar con-- necting the parallel bars, the front ends of the side bars being curved downwardly and having openings therein, an arch composed of flat metal extending over the frame and being secured to the side bars thereof, said arch having its lower ends projecting below the lower edges of the side bars, a shaft supported in the said lower extensions of the arch, a wheel journaled on the shaft, a cross-bar connecting the side bars of the frame'directly in front of the wheel, inclined braces connecting the arch with the frame and a seat supported on the arch, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sub- Witnesses:
GHAs. D. GARY, WM. HICKEY.
