construction is resorted to, it may be desir-
able to connect the rear ends of the wings
or shields 22 by means of inclined braces
24 for the purpose of holding them properly
5 spaced.
In Fig. 6 a construction somewhat similar
to that illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 has been
shown, with the exception that the wings.
or shields, here designated by 22', are hing-.
10 edly connected with a face plate 15' to be
mounted in rear of a furrow opening blade
in substantially the manner illustrated in
Figs. 2 and 3. In Fig. 7 a further modifica-
tion-has been illustrated which consists in
15 forming the shields or wings, here desig-
nated by 25, integral with the furrow open-
ing blade which is here designated by 26.
Other changes and modifications than
those herein specifically described and illus-
20 trated will readily suggest themselves to the
skilled mechanic and need not be further
described in detail.
It will be readily seen that by the several
forms of the invention means have been
25 provided, whereby the walls of the furrow
formed by the furrow opener will be pre-
vented from moving and clods and dirt will
be prevented from dropping therein until
the seed has been deposited in the bottom
30 of the furrow, it being evident that thewings are to be made sufficiently long to
serve the desired purpose.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is:
1. The combination with a standard hav- 35
ing flat substantially parallel side faces and
an inclined front face, of a bolt extending
through said . standard, a furrow opener
mounted on the bolt, a plate mounted on
the bolt between the standard and the fur- 40
row opener and having a bolt engaging slot
to permit vertical adjustment, and wings ex-
tending rearwardly from said plate, said
wings engaging the side faces of the stand-
ard and spacestapart thereby.. 45
2. The combination with a standard hav-
ing flat substantially -parallel side faces, of a
plate engaging the front face of the stand-
ard, wings hingedly connected with the plate
and extending rearwardly adjacent to the 50
side faces of the standard being thereby
spaced apart, and means for connecting to-
gether the rearward ends of the wings.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
