WEED-TURNER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 794,600, dated. July 11, 1905.
Application filed February 25,1905. Serial No. 247,277.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VVILLIs MELVAIN ELLs- WORTH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have made a certain new and useful invention in Weed-Turners; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap- IO pertains to make and use the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention as applied. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the invention detached. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the shifting-rod 7 and guideloop 8. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are detail views of the hook The invention relates to weed-turning attachments for plows; and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth.
2 5 In the annexed drawings, illustrating the invention,the letter adesignates a plow-beam, and bthe plow-handle attached thereto. A clip (Z is bolted on the plow-beam forward of the standard and is arranged for adjustment 0 along the length of the beam, as well as angularly. To the clip is pivoted a head-bar 5, having a transverse arm f, adapted to pass under the plow-beam. Said arm is formed with a downward lug g, which is perforated for the reception of a pivoted bolt 72 whereby it is connected to the shifting-rod 76., which passes backward on the opposite side of the beam from the head-bar. The handle portion of the shifting-rod 7c is serrated at m to engage a stud or pin 7; of a guide-loop .9, attached to the handle 6 of the plow.
The clip (Z consists of the plate 2 on one side of the beam and two plates 3 and 4: on the opposite side of the beam, the latter two plates being braced apart by lugs 5 and connected by rivet-pins 6. A pivot-stud 7 is provided in connection therewith to engage a perforation of the head-bar c, which passes between the plates 3 and 4:. The perforation or pivotseat is made in the plane portion 8 of the head- 5 bar between slight bends connecting it to the bent front portion 9 and the rear portion 10, which lie close to the side of the beam and serve to steady both the head-bar and the clip and to prevent these parts from catching in the weeds.
The rear arm of the head-bar extends backward and is provided with a plane terminal seat 2., extending longitudinally backward between marginalguide-ribs a, which are formed on the upper and lower portions of the terminal seat. The seat is perforated ate and w for the reception of a short bolt 1", whereby the weed-turning hook a is connected to the head-bolt, said bolt 7" passing through a per- 5 foration j in the tenant portion of the forward arm of the hook.
The plane of the seat 25 of the head-bar is parallel to the side of the plow-beam, and the forward arm 12 of the hook is also parallel 7 to the plow-beam side; but said arm forms an angle with its tenant portion extending downward and backward therefrom in the same plane, as shown. From the rear end of said forward .arm the blade 14 of the hook extends transversely outward, downward, and rearward in the general plane of inclination of the forward arm, terminating in the downward and forward hook-bend 15, which is formed with a pointed end 16. The strain 30 is well sustained by the bracing head bar which lies close to the plow-beam and the connections to said beam, and as the hook is a plane wrought bar bent to shape the entire attachment possesses great strength. Should 8 5 the hook-blade break or become bent out of shape, it can readily be removed and another substituted without much expense, as it can be easily forged from a straight bar.
I This weed-turning attachment is designed to 9" meet different conditions relating to the plowing, and especially those having reference to the height and thickness of the surface growth.
If the weeds are thick and high, the transverse ho0k-blade should be raised by pulling the shifting-rod, and thereby depressing the forward arm of the pivoted head-bar. If the growth is light or short, a reverse movement of the shifting-rod will depress the transverse hook-blade to meet the condition. The adjustment of the hook-blade involves a parallel movement, and there is practically no pivotal strain caused by the work, the pivot being in the longitudinal head-bar portion and protected by the clip-plates between which it is located.
The detachable hook is readily forged from a straight flat bar, the main blade portion being left straight to the end which is curved edgewise to provide the hook portion. The other end of the bar is bent flatwise at an obtuse angle to provide a forward arm, and the forward end of the arm is bent edgewise and perforated to provide an attachment-tenant for the flanged seatof the pivoted head-bar.
Having described the invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
1. A weed-turning attachment for plows, having in combination a pivoted head-bar having a transverse arm in front, a weed-turning blade having a forward arm connected at one end to the rear of said head-bar and an outward downward and rearward extending .portion meeting said forward arm in an obtuse angle and having a terminal hook, and a shifting means connected to said transversearm,
substantially as specified.
2. A Weed-turning attachment for plows having a transverse arm in front extending having a transverse arm extending across the plow-beam, and an outward downward and rearward extending portion having a terminal hook, and a shifting means connected to said transverse arm and upon the opposite side of the plow-beam from the attachment proper, substantially as specified.
4:. A weed-turning attachment for plows, consisting of an adjustable beam-clip, an adjustable pivoted longitudinal head-bar having a transverse arm in front and a rear terminal seat, a shifting-rod connected to said transverse arm, and, connected to said head-bar, a detachable hook consisting of a forward arm engaging said seat and a transverse outward downward and rearward extending blade portion having a forward and downward curved terminal portion, substantially as specified.
5. In a weed-turning attachment for plows, a longitudinal pivoted adjustable head bar adapted to extend parallel to the beam and having a rear seat and detachably connected thereto a hook having an outward downward and rearward extending blade portion and a forward arm in the vertical plane of said headbar and provided with a tenant for connection to said seat, substantially as specified.
6. A weed-turning hook consisting of a nar row fiat bar curved in the plane of the blade to provide the terminal hook portion, bent obtusely at the inner end of the blade portion to provide a forward-extending arm the forward end of which is bent in the plane of said arm, and perforated, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof Iaffix my signature in 17 5 presence of two witnesses.
