HENRY .PSENCIK, OF BALLINGER, TEXAS.PLOW.
1,1'72,046. Specification of Letters Patent.Patented Feb.15,1916.
Application fled July 30, 1915. Serial No. 42,749.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HINR PsENc1K, a
citizen' of the United States, residing at
Ballinger, in the county of Runnels and
5 State of Texas, have invented certain new
and useful Improvements in Plows; and
I do hereby declare the following to be a
full, clear, and exact description of the in-
vention, such as willienable others skilled in
10 the art to which it appertains to make and
use the same.
My invention relates to new and useful
improvements in plow construction and
more particularly to disk plows, and my ob-
15 ject is to provide a frame having various
angles therein to which the disks are ad-
justably attached.
A further object is to so construct the de-
vice that a single disk can be used, or a num-
20 ber of disks. And a further object is to so
construct the device that the disk may be ar-
ranged to throw the dirt in opposite direc-
tion or in the same direction.
Other objects and advantages will be
25 hereinafter set forth and more particularly
pointed out in the accompanying specifica-
tion.
In the accompanying drawings which are
made a part of this application, Figure 1 is
30 a top plan view of a plow showing a pair
of disks attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail
perspective view of a modified form of
frame for the plow, and Fig. 3 is a plan
view of one form of arm employed for car-
35 rying the rear supporting wheel.
Referring to the drawings in which simi-
lar reference numerals designate corre-
sponding parts throughout the several
views, 1 indicates the main beam section and
40 2 the auxiliary beam section, the forward
end 3 of which is extended inwardly and
forwardly, and secured to the main beam 1
adjacent its forward end by means of a clip
4, said beams being reinforced by means of
45 a brace 5 in the rear of the end section 3.
The rear end portion 6 of the beam 1 is
extended outwardly at an angle, while the
rear end 7 of the beam 2 is likewise ex-
tended outwardly at an angle and so posi-
50 tioned that the longitudinal axis of said end
7 will intersect the point of union between
the main beam section 1 and the end por-
tion 6. To the free ends of the end sections
6 and 7 are attached arms 8 and 9 respec-timely of the rear portion of the frame, said 55
arms being preferably constructed integral
and at right angles to each other and form-
ing a substantially angular structure.
When the arms 8 and 9 are attached to
the ends 6 and 7, they form a substantially 60
square structure and the end portions and
arms are at an angle to the beam 1 and
auxiliary beam 2 of substantially 45*.
The. end portion 6 and arms 8 and 9 are
adapted to receive cutting disks 10 and 11, 65
which are preferably adjustably mounted
on said sections for purposes to be herein-
after set forth. As shown in.the drawings,
the disk 10 is positioned adjacent the for-
ward end of the end section 6 and the disk 70
11 is positioned on the arm 8 in such posi-
tion as to overlap the disk 10 and leave a
clean furrow, the disk 11 being arranged
to throw the soil in the opposite direction
from the disk 10. 75
If it is desired to increase the width of
the furrow the disk 10 can be moved rear-
wardly on the end section-6 and the disk
11 likewise moved rearwardly away from
the disk 10 so that a ridge will be left, be- 80
tween the two disks, and to remove the ridge
an additional disk.is to be attached to the
shank 12 employed for carrying the rear
supporting wheel 13, as shown by dotted
lines in Fig. 1, said shank being adjustably 85
mounted on an arm 14, which arm is in
turn secured to the arm 9. If proper ad-
justment can not be had with the arm 14
to properly position the disk carried by the
shank 12, an additional arm 15 is to be 90
substituted -for the arm 14 and attached to
the arm 8 so :as to properly' position the
shank 12 to cause the disk carried thereby
to remove the ridge left between the two
main disks. 95
If it is desired to throw the soil all in
one direction, the disk 11 may be removed
from the arm 8 and engaged with the arm
9 as shown by dotted lines Fig. 1 and the
disk 10 so positioned on the end 6 and the 100
disk 11 so positioned on the arm 9 that the
soil loosened by the disk 11 will be thrown
into the furrow made by the disk 10, there-
by using the plow for breaking purposes.
When the disk 11 is positioned on the arm 105
8 adjacent the arm 9 that form of arm
shown in Fig. 2 is preferably used, the arm
9' having a bowed portion so that the soil
