 through a slot in the other, the perforations in the bar 

 receiving a pin to allow of its expansion and contraction as 

 required.

 Cultivators.— February 6, 1 866. 



This invention consists of a triangular frame composed of 

 iron rods and cross-timbers. The braces coming from the 

 rear beam are united to the front standards ; the shafts are at- 

 tached to the beam by a swivel, and by means of a guage it 

 may be so adjusted as to regulate the depth of the cut. 



Claim — I. — The arrangement for attaching the shafts to 

 the beam by means of the swivel F and guage G, for regula- 

 ting the depth of the cut as set forth. 



2. — The arrangement of the frame E D C and standards 



A B H, with the frame K and handles, all constructed and 

 combined, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. 



No. 52,515.— CHARLES BELDEN, MiUDl-EBtiRG, 

 Oww.— Cultivators.— Febniarv 14, 1866. 



In this invention the handles are bolted to the sides of 

 the beam. This beam is made of a bar of iron, double and 

 bent round at the front end, through which a bolt passes for 

 attaching the device to the end of the beam. The bar is 

 turned at the front end and doubled closely together, except- 

 ing from where it is bent outward, and extends along so as 

 to form a slotted opening. In this this opening is fitted and 

 secured a curved standard, being secured by the bolt that 

 connects the handles to the beam ; this standard curves 

 down on (he inside of the double plough in front. The 

 point is made of such metal as hardened steel, so as to be a 

 self-sharpener. 



Claim — I. — The frame B F, in combination with the 

 changeable and reversible blades H K, when constructed 

 and arranged as and for the purpose set forth. 



2. — The herein-described cultivator with changeable and 

 reversible blades H K, when constructed and arranged as 

 and for the purposes set forth.
