DISK B EAKING-mow.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PERRY MoFERsom'a citizen of the United States, residing at Re vere, in the countyof Clark and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Disk Breaking-Plow, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to disk breakin plows; and it has for its object'to simplif y w and improve the construction and operation of this class of plows.

With these and other ends in view, which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists [5 in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings has been '20 illustrated a simple and preferred form of the invention, it being, however, understood that no'lim tation is necessarily made to the precisestructural details therein exhibited, but

- that changes, alterations, and modifications within the sec e of the invention may be made when desired.

- In the drawings, Fi ure 1 is a top plan view of a disk breakingpl cordance with the prlnci les of the invention.

, 0 Fig. 2 is a detail side e evation illustrating the lifting mechanism for the plow-frame.

- Fig. 3 is a detail elevation illustratinglthe adjusting mechanism for the furroweel.

Corresponding parts inthe several figures 3 5 are indicated throughout by'similar charac- 0 other; suitable material.

ed with a segment-rack 33. 34 is a lever which. is pivoted upon the sleeve and is the rack 33. Said'lever 34 is connected, by means of a link 36, with the plow-frame F.

equipped with a stop member 35, engaging It will be seen that by roperly manipulating the lever 34 the lowrame may be raised or lowered u on t e shaft 9 or that, conversely, the eadjng furrow-wheel may be raised or lowered,-as may be desired. The'rear cross-bar 11 of the frame is provided with bearings for a shaft '12, havin at its lower end a crank 13, provided wit a spindle 14, upon which the hind wheel or rear furrow-wheel 14 is journaled. The 4 shafts 9 and 12 are provided with arms 15 and 16, which are connected with each other by means of a link-rod 17'. A tongue .or

steering member 18 is connected with the arm or crank 15. When the shaft 9 is turned or oscillated in its bearings -b y means of the tongue or steerin -rod-, motion will be transmitted by the lin rod 17 to the shaft 12, carrymg the wheel 14, so that the wheels 10 and 14 will beisimultaneously adjusted in I the proper direction to enable the carryingframe to turn around corners when desired.

The side members 1 and 8 of the carryingframe are provided with bearings in which are mounted a pair of crank-shafts 19, the

cranks of which, 20, are journaled in bearings upon a plow-carrying frame P, which latter;

is thus supported beneath the main carryingframe. The plow-frame P is provided with outwardly-bulging side pieces 21, affording bearings for a diagonally-disposed shaft 22,

carrying the concavo-convex breaking-disks- 23, of which any desired number may be used, two such disks being shown in the drawings. The disks are-provided with-hubs or castings 22, whereby they may be secured upon the shaft, as by means of set-screws 23, extending through the hubs or castings. The disks are deeply cupped in order that the soil may be extensively engaged thereby, thus enabling hard and refractory soil to be efiiciently operated upon. One of the side members 21 of the frame P, carries the scrapers or sod-turners 24, which engage the concave sides of the disks for the urpose of assist ing in turning the soil. he front end of the plow-frame is extended in advance of the main carrying-frame, and the front cross-bar 25 of said frame has been shown as provided with a plurality of apertures 26, with any one of which the draft may be connected directly,

' For the purpose of elevating the plow-cari 11 g vlde -upon*the frame F, one arm of said be l-crank frame 'for transportation there is proa bell-crank lever L, which is ivoted lever being extended to form a handle 36 and the other arm being connected by means of a link 37 with the plow-carrying frame P. By manipulating this lever .it will be seen that the plow-carrying frame may be raised or lowered, as will best appear by reference Havin thus described the invention, what.

is claime is 1. In a device of the class described, a carrying-frame, rotary supporting means for said frame, crank-shafts supported by the side members of said'frame, a plow-frame.

the frame P- for the disk-earjournaled upon the cranks of said shafts and having bulging side members, a diagonally- 5 disposed shaft journaled in ball-bearings upon said side members, deeply-cupped disks upon said shaft, and scrapers or sod-turners supported upon one of the side members of the plow-frame and engaging the disks.

2. In a device of the class described, a carryin -frame having a land-wheel-carryin cran means for adjusting said crank an for retaining it in various positions, approximately vertical shafts supported by a side member and by the rear cross-bar of the frame, furrow-wheels carried by spindles connected with said shafts, means for adjusting said shafts to guide the carrying-frame, crank-shafts supported by the side members of the carrying-frame, a plow-frame journaled upon the cranks of said shafts and hav ing bulging side members, a diagonally-disposed shaft supported for rotation upon said side members, disks upon said shaft, and scrapers or sod-turners supported upon one of the side members of the plow-frame and engaging the disks.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
