ELIAS HANKINS, OF PURDON, TEXAS.
PLOW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,901, dated September 30, 1902.
Application filed May 28, 1902. Serial No. 109,378. (No model.To all whom it.may concern:
Be it known that. I, ELIAS HANKINS, a citi-
zen of the United States, residing at Purdon,
in the county of Navarro and State-of Texas,
5 have invented a new and useful Plow,of which
the following is a specification.
This invention relates to plows; and it has
for its object to provide an improved construc-
tion and arrangement of parts whereby an
io implement shall be produced which shall pos-
sess great advantages in point of simplicity,
durability, and general efficiency.
The invention relates particularly to that
class of plows in which a landside is perma-
i5 neatly attached to the depending portion of
the beam and having pivotal connection at
its front end with the lower end of the stand-
ard or stock carrying the plow-blade.
My invention consists especially in certain
20 improvements in the detailed construction of
the plow-frame and of a breaking-plow which
is connected with said frame in such a man-
ner as to be detachable in .order to permit the
plow to be used as an ordinary single-stock
25 plow.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is
a side elevation, partly in section, of a plow
constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the same. Fig.
30 3 is a transverse sectional detail view taken
on the line x x in'Fig. 2 and looking in a rear-
ward direction. Fig. 4 is a detail view show-
ing perspectively the under side of the V-
shaped support which forms a part of the
35 breaking-plow and whereby it is connected
with the standard. Fig. 5 is a sectional view
taken through the heel of the landside and
showing the knife or cutter arranged therein.
Fig. 6 is a sectional detail view. taken on the
40 line y y in Fig. 1.
Corresponding parts in all the figures are
designated by like characters of reference.
To the lower end of the depending portion
1 of the plow-beam 2, which is enlarged, as
45 shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, to receive the
connecting-bolts, is secured the landside 3,
which is composed of two separate plates, re-
ceiving between them the enlarged lower por-
tion of the plow-beam, to which they are con-
50 nected by means of bolts or similar fasten-
ings 4. One of the plates composing the land-
side is extended in front of the other one, asshown at 5, and is connected pivotally at its
front end with the sides of the bifurcated
stock or standard 6 by means of a connecting- 55
bolt 7. The sides 6 of the bifurcated stock
or standard are connected at their upper ends
by means of a nut 8, interposed between the
said side pieces and having laterally-extend-
ing screw-threaded projections 9 extending 6o
through perforations in the side pieces 6, and
having nuts 10 upon their outer ends, where-
by the parts are clamped together in such a
manner as to permit the nut 8 to turn upon
the axis provided therefor by the extensions 65
or swivels 9. An eyebolt 11, passing through
the nut 8, presses at its lower end against a
slide 12, the under side of which.is provided
with teeth 13, bearing upon the curved por-
tion of the plow-beam. It will be observed 70
that by this arrangement the stock or stand-
ard maybe adjusted at any desired angle with
relation to the landside of the plow.
14 designates a double breaking-plow, of
which 15 is the point and 16 the moldboard. 75
The said point and moldboard are secured,
by means of nuts and bolts 17 and 18, to the
upper side of a V-shaped connecting-plate 19,
the edge of which is flattened, as shown at
20, so as to leave a space between the said 8o
flattened edge and the adjacent under sides
of the plow-point and moldboard sufficient
to accommodate the heads of the bolts 21, by
means of which the said V-shaped plate car-
rying the plow is connected with the bifur- 85
cated stock or standard, the said bolts pass-
ing through a plate 22 upon the under side
of said stock or standard and being provided
with nuts 23, bearing against said plate.
The V-shaped plate is provided at its lower 90.
end with a downturned nose 26, bearing
against the point of the stock or standard
and serving to make it impossible for the
plow to be displaced upwardly upon said
stock or standard in the event of obstructions 95
being encountered thereby. Braces or plates
42 connect the abutting edges of the point 15
and moldboard 16 on their under sides adja-
cent to the plate 19, so as to absolutely pre-
vent displacement of said abutting edges. oo
The sides or wings of the double moldboard
are connected by means of a transverse brace
28, extending below the stock or standard and
secured detachably to the said wings by means
