IMPROVEMENT vIN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Additional Improvement No. 245, dated August 2, 1859, to Letters Patent No. 19,321, dated February 9, 1858.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Beit known that I, GEORGE WATT, of Richmond, in the county of Henrico and State of Virginia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plows, additional to my patent dated February 9, 1858; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a rear View of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a section on linew. Fig. 3 is a section on line y y, showing the notches on the beam and the eccentric roller.

Similar characters of reference in the several tigures denote the same parts.

The nature of my invention consists in the combination of devices hereinafter set forth.

" On the lower branch ofthe cuff attachment for forcing the beam against the upper branch thereof is an eccentric roller, whereby the lateral pressure of the cui on the beam may be diminished, the rear of the beam being secured to the handles by a single bolt and the handles to their' attachments each by a single bolt, so that the depth of plowing is graduated by adjusting the beam in the cuil', there being notches on the top ot' the beam for the reception of the upper brauch of thecui, ora notched plate placed thereon.

In the drawings, H is the handles, B the beam, M themold-hoard, Lthe landside, which are secured to each other by the lapping lan ges a and a', b and b', bolted together.

C is the brace, extending from mold-board to landside, having flanges d, to which the mold-board and landside are bolted, and also two arms, e e, to which the handles are secured by a single bolt.

S is the standard, to which is fastened the culi' f, through which the beam passes, having on its lower branch an eccentric roller, o', for forcing the beam against the upper branch thereof, thereby diminishing tllelateral pressure ofthe culfon the beam, and, the rear ofthe beam being secured to thc handles by the single -bolt h and the handles to their lower attachments,ce, by single bolts, the beam can be adjusted in the cutl' f, there being notches z' in the top of it to receive the upper branch ot' .the cuff, and thus regulate the depth of plowlng.

I claim- The combination of the eccentric roller 9', beam B, notches i, and cuf, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name before two subscribing witnesses.

GEO. WATT.
