ANTON SCHINDLER, OF WEIMAR, TEXAS.
PLOW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,383, dated November 25, 1884.
Application filed August 18, 18e4. (No model.)To all whom, it mayU concern:
Be it known that I, ANTON SCHINDLER, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Wei-
mar, in the county of Colorado and State of
5 Texas, have invented a new and useful Plow,
of which the following is a specification, ref-
erence being had to the accompanying draw-
ings.
This invention has relation to plows; and it
io consists in the construction and novel arrange-
ment of parts, as will be hereinafter fully de-
scribed, and particularly pointed out in the
claims.
Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a don-
15 ble-mold-board plow embodying my improve-
ments. Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of the
plow with the mold-board removed. Fig. 3
is a vertical longitudinal section through the
beam. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the double-
20 mold-board plow. Fig. 5 is a perspective
view from the rear of a single-mold-board
plow, its attaching-arm, bolts, and nuts; and
Fig. 6 is a view of a shovel-plow.
Referring by letter to the accompanying
25 drawings, A designates the plow-beam, and B
B the handles, which are connected to the beam
by a round, C, that is adjustable in the beam,
and is held in place by a set-screw, D, and
are connected at their lower ends to an arm,
30 E, inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the
shoe of the plow. The plow-standard F con-
sists of two curved arms pivoted to the plow-
beam at their upper ends, and rigidly secured
to the shoe G at their lower ends. An ad-
35 justable brace, H, is secured at its lower end
between the curved arms of the standard F by
a bolt, I, passed through an eye and secured
in place by a nut. The upper end of the
brace H is perforated and secured to the un-
40 der face of the plow-beam by a bolt, J, which
may be passed through either one of the per-
forations K of the brace H, as may be desired.
The rear end of the beam is provided on its
upper face with a threaded plate, L, which is
45 secured in place by bolts. This plate forms
the bearing for the set-screw D, which bears
on the round C to hold it to its adjustment.
The point of the shoe is provided with a per-
foration, M, for the bolt N, that secures thelower portion of the plow-point to the shoe. 50
The double-mold-board plow O is provided
with a share, P, at its point, which is secured
to the under face of the double mold-board by
bolts Q passed through the mold-boards and
through the arms of share P, and held in 55
place by nuts. The rear portion of the share
P is provided with a recess, R, in its under
face, the walls of which are perforated laterally
at S to receive the bolt T, that secures the
share P to the point of the shoe. The upper se- 6o
curing-bolt, U, passes through the mold-board
and between the curved arms of the plow-
standard F, and is secured in place by a nut.
By loosening the set-screw D and removing
the bolt J the plow-standard may be adjusted 65
to regulate the pitch of the plow-point.
In attaching the single-mold-board plow-
point a brace-arm, V, is employed, and is se-
cured in place by a bolt, W, and nut X and
the bolt U. The shovel-point is secured in 70
place by the single bolt U. The point or share
P of the double-mold-board plow is removable,
and may be taken off when desired. This
plow is used between the rows of cotton or
corn, and may be taken off of the standard 75
and either the single-mold-board plow br the
shovel-plow put on in its place. By this con-
struction and arrangement I am enabled to
plow in different kinds of soil and in differ-
ent crops by simply changing the plow-points 80o
and adjusting the standard to regulate the
pitch of the plow.
Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and desire to secure by
Letters Patent of the United States, is- 85
The combination, with the pivoted adjust-
able plow - standard F, of the double-mold-
board plow having recessed removable share
P, and the bolts for securing the share'to the
plow and the plow to the standard, substan- 90
tially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own I have hereto afixed my signature in
presence of two witnesses.
ANTON SCHINDLER.
