forward side of the standard being cut away
or notched, as indicated at 18 in Fig. 1. As
shown in detail in Fig. 3, another form of
toothed frame may be employed comprising
5 a transverse bar 19, having transverse teeth
or shovels 20, and an intermediate bolt 21, so
as to mount the frame in the same manner as
a single shovel.
From the foregoing description it will be
io seen that the rear wheel may be adjusted ver-
tically, so as to vary the depth of action of
the cultivator teeth or shovels, and the latter
may be conveniently interchanged to suit the
character of work required.
15 In order that a slight vertical adjustment
may be had for the rear wheel, the upper end
of each wheel-bracket 9 is provided with a
longitudinal slot 22, so that by loosening the
upper bolt 10 the brackets may be swung
20 either upwardly or downwardly upon the
lower fastening as a pivot, as will be under-
stood.
The lower portion of the standard is braced
by means of a rod 23, which passes through
25 the standard and inclines upwardly and for-
wardly to the beam and is fastened theretoimmediately in rear of the handles. Besides
forming a brace this rod serves to separate
long grass and weeds, so as to prevent the
latter from hanging in the angle between the 30
beam and the standard.
What is claimed is-
1. In a cultivator, the combination with a
beam, having a pendent standard, of a
toothed frame located in advance of and 35
loosely abutting against the front side of the
standard, and a detachable brace connection
between the front of the frame and the beam.
2. The combination with a cultivator-beam,
having a pendent standard, of a triangular 40
toothed frame located in front of the stand-
ard and having its base abutting against the
front side thereof, and an upwardly-directed
arm carried at the front end or apex of the
toothed frame and also connected to the beam. 45
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own I have hereto affixed my signature in
the presence of two witnesses.
