Description

l- Tecll '107mm it may concern."

Bc it known t-hat I, J 011x RAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Koran, in the parish of Bossier and State of Louisiana, have invented new and useful Improvements 1n Plows, "of which the following is a specification. l t

This i vention relates to im )rovements in plows, contemplating particu arly a novel construction`- of foot or standard and meansv for attaching the same. to and bracing it from the beam, the'bracing means ,being adjustably connected with thestandard for attachment thereto at different blevations, so as to provide for the application to the standard of the ordinary mold board and shaft, plow shovels of dill'erent forms and other types of grouml-working implements.

The invention consists of the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which:-

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plow embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section on an enlarged scale through the beam, bracket and standard. Fig. 3 is a cross-section through the beam and standard.

`Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the beam of the plow having in its underside a recess 2, below which beam is disposed alongitudinally extending bracket plate 3 having a rib or, projection 4 to fit wit-hin said recess, said bracket being secured at its ends to the beam by bolts 5 and rovided in its under-i side with a central soc tet or recess 6.

' The standard 7 is longitudinally slotted or bilurcated to provide a pair of spaced parallel arms S connected at their upper ends by a cross piece or head 9 having a tongue 10 entering the socket 6 in the bracket and detachably secured therein by a transverse bolt 11, the tongue and socket being of angular form in cross-section to hold the standard against any tendency to lateral movement. This construction provides for the convenient application and removal of the standard, and allows different sizes of standards to be attached to the one bracket.

i PLOW.

Patented sept. 15, i908.

The lower ends or arms of the standard may be provided wlth one or more openmgs 12 for the passage of bolts to secure an ordi-v nary share and landside to be att-ached thereto, or to permit application of plow shovels, sweeps and other land working devices of different styles or types, so that the plow may be em loyed for a variety of purposes. Above tie openings 12 the arms of the standard are also provided with a series of openings 13 for the passage of a bolt 14, the openings in the two arms being disposed in alinement at different elevations to pro vide for the arrangement of the bolt 14 at dillerent points in the length of the standard. A bracing link 15 is pivotally connected at its forward end to the bolt 14 and extends rearwardly therefrom and has its rear end iitted within the slotted head or lower end of a rod 16, to which it is pivotally secured by a bolt 17. The upper end of the rod passes through and has a threaded engagement with the standard and is secured thereto by upper and lower clamping bolts 18.

By the construction described, 1t will be understood that the standard 7 is braced by the link15 and rod 16, and that by engaging therbolt 151 with the ditl'erent sets of o enings 13A the forward end of the link may e connected with the standard at different elevations to enable ground-working devices of di'li'erent types to be attached to the standard, the link being adapted to. assume its different positions without disturbing the rod 16 by its pivotal connection with said rod.

Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. In a plow, the combination of a beam, a bracket secured to the underside of the beam and having a socket, a-standard having a tongue at its upper end fitted and secured within said socket, a rod secured to and depending from the beam in rear of the stand-
