WILLIAM B. WHERRY, OF OVERTON, TEXAS.
PLOW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 498,095, dated May 23, 1893.
Application filed January 28, 1893. Serial No. 460,094, (No model,)To all whon it m7,ay concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAMi B. WHERRY, of
Overton, in the county of Rusk and State of
Texas, have invented a new and Improved
5 Plow, of which the following is a full, clear,
and exact description.
My invention relates to an improvement in
plows, and especially to an improvement in
land-sides for plows, and it has for its object
to to provide a land-side capable of being expe-
ditiously and conveniently removed from the
shank plate of the plow, and to so construct
the shank plate that the share when placed
thereon will be firmly held in position and be
15 prevented from slipping vertically.
It is a further object of the invention to
provide an interlocking connection between
the land-side of the shank plate and the land-
side proper, which connection, with the addi-
uo tional employment of bolts, will firmly unite
one part to the other, and yet, as heretofore
stated, admit of the land-side being conven-
iently and expeditiously removed, if in prac-
tice such action may be found desirable.
25 Theinvention consists in the novelconstruc-
tion and combination of the several parts, as
will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed
out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying
30 drawings forming a part of this specification,
in which similar figures and letters of refer-
ence indicate corresponding parts in all the
views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the shank
35 plate and land side connected therewith.
Fig. 2 is a detail side elevation and partial
sectional view of the shank plate viewed from
the outer side thereof. Fig. 3 is an inner side
elevation of the land side. Fig.4 is horizon-
40 tal section taken essentially on the line 4-4
of Fig. 1, illustrating the manner in which the
shank plate and the land side of the plow are
connected; and Fig. 5 is a vertical section
through the said connection, the section being
4; taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
In carrying out the invention, the shank
plate A, adapted to hold the plow share, is
provided at its upper end with a recess 10, the
said recess being located at one edge of the
50 plate, while the remaining portion of the edge
is provided with a forwardly-extending flange
11,the said flange being adapted toengagewiththe upper portion of the plow share and pre-
vent it from moving upward,while the recess
10, will admit of the mold board extending be- 55
yond the shank plate. Theshank plate is fur-
ther provided with an elongated slot 12, ordi-
narily produced transversely therein, through
which the fastening bolt of the plow share is to
pass. The shank plateis angular in cross see- 6o
tion, comprising the front member a, the pecu-
liarities of which have been above described,
and aside member a', the latter being located
at the land-side face of the plate. At the
lower forward end of the side member a' of the 65
shank plate a downwardly extending tongue
13, is formed preferably integral with the side
member a', the inner face of the tongue being
usually substantially flush with the inner sur-
faceof the said member, but the outer surface 70
of the tongue is considerably back of the outer
face of the side memberof the plate, as shown
in Fig. 2. The tongue is preferably made
practically dove-tailed shape in general con-
tour, and its edges are beveled, as shown at 71
14 in Fig. 2.
The tongue 13, is provided with a circular
depression 15 in its outer face near its forward
edge, and a corresponding embossed surface
16 upon its inner face, an aperture extending 80o
through the center of the embossed and de-
pressed surfaces, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4;
and adjacent to the depression 15, near the
opposite side edge of the tongue, a conical
opening 17, is produced. 85
The land-side B, is shown in detail in Fig.
3, the view being an inner face view; and the
land-side is provided with an upper shoulder
18 and a recess 19 adjacent to the shoulder;
and the lower edge of the side member of the 90
shank plate is shaped to fit against the shoul-
der 18 and upon the base wall of the recess
19 when the forward edge of the land-side is
flush or practically so, with the upper face of
the main member a of the shank plate, as 95
shown in Fig. 1. In the inner face of the land-
side a recess 20, is produced, corresponding in
shape to the shape of the tongue 13, which
tongue it is adapted to receive; and the ver-
tical side wall of the recess 20, is provided Ico
with a circular projection 21, the opposite face
of the land-side being correspondingly ta-
pered, forming a countersink 22, as shown in
Figs. 4 and 5, and upon the said side wall of
