in rigid relation to the beam, the brace 28 is
employed, such brace being secured at its
lower end to the shank IS of the standard
and having its upper end fastened to the rear-
5 wardly-extending portions of the beam con tig-
uous to the connections of the handles there-
with. The preferred manner of accomplish-
ing this is as shown in Figs. 1 to 3 of the
drawings,wherein the upper end of the brace
i1 has a cross-head 29, that is located between
the beam-bars and is secured by means of a
transverse bolt 30. Another mode, however,
is shown in Figs. S and 9. In this instance
a block 31 is located between the bars 11, and
15 the brace has a horizontal eye 32, that fits
against the under side of the same. A verti-
cally-disposed bolt 33 passes through this eye
and the block 31, and thus rigidly connects
the brace to the beam. The standard is piv-
20 otally connected to the brace, so that when it
is desired to change the inclination of said
standard it is only necessary to adjust the
upper end of the same upon the block.
It will be seen that several important ad-
25 vantages are derived from this construction.
In the first place a much lighter structure is
provided than is possible with a solid beam.
At the same time the parts are rigidly braced,
and said parts are reduced to the smallest
30 number, for the reason that many of them
perform several functions.
From the foregoing it is thought that the
construction, operation, and many advan-
tages of the herein-described invention will
35 be apparent to those skilled in the art with-
out further description, and it will be under-
stood that various changes in the size, shape,
proportion, and minor details of construction
may be resorted to without departing from
40 the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages
of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters
Patent, is-
45 1. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of a standard secured
to the beam intermediate the ends thereof, a
brace fastened at its front end to the stand-
ard and having its rear end secured to the
5o beam-bars contiguous to their rear ends, the
terminals of said bars in rear of the brace be-
ing upturned, and handles attached to said
upturned ends.
2. In a plow, the combination with a beam
55 comprising spaced bars having upturned por-
tions at their rear ends, of a standard secured
to an intermediate part of the beam in front
of the upturned portion and comprising
spaced arms which embrace said beam, a rear-
6o wardly-extending brace secured at its lower
end between the arms of the standard and at
its upper end contiguous to their upturned
portions and in rear of the standards, and han-
dles secured to said upturned portions.
65 3. In a plow, the beam comprising spaced
bars, in combination with a block located be-
tween the bars and constituting a spacing-block therefor, and a standard having its up-
per end embracing the bars and engaged with
one face of the block. 70
4. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of an adjusting-block
located between the bars, and a standard hav-
ing an adjustable engagement with the block
and movable longitudinally of the beam. 75
5. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of an adjusting-block
located between the bars and provided with a
plurality of shoulders, and a standard con-
nected to a beam and having means arranged 8o
to detachably engage said shoulders.
6. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of an adj usting-block
located between the bars and provided with a
plurality of shoulders projecting above the 85
upper edges of said bars, and a standard con-
nected to the beam and having means ar-
ranged to detachably engage said shoulders.
7. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of an adjusting-block 90
located between the bars and having out-
standing ribs that engage over the upper
edges of the same, said block being also pro-
vided with a plurality of shoulders, located
above the upper edges of the beam-bars, a 95
standard connected to the beam, and a bolt
passing through said standard and having a
detachable engagement with one of the shoul-
ders of the block.
S. In a plow, the combination with abeam io
comprising spaced bars, of a standard having
a forked head the arms of which embrace the
beam, means for securing the standard and
beam together, and a block located between
the beam-arms at the point of engagement of xo5
the standard therewith.
9. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of a standard having
a forked head the arms of which embrace the
beam, means for securing the standard and 10
beam together, and a block located between
the beam-arms at the point of engagement of
the standards therewith, said block having a
plurality of shoulders, and means carried by
the standard and detachably engaging cer- 115
tain of the shoulders.
10. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of a standard at-
tached to the beam and having its upper end
embracing the spaced bars, said standard en- 120
gaging the upper and lower edges of the bars,
and a brace secured to the standard at one
end and having its other end fastened be-
tween the bars and constituting a spacing
device for said bars. 125
11. In a plow, the combination with a beam
comprising spaced bars, of a brace secured
to the bars, a standard pivotally attached to
the brace and having its upper end embrac-
ing and adjustable upon the beam-bars, and 130
a block secured between the beam-bars, said
standard having an adjustable connection
with the block.
12. Ina plow, the combinationwith a stand-2
