No. 9,003.— F. P. ROOT, SwEEDEN, yi.Y.- Wheel- 

 Cultivators.— June 8, 1852. 



I am fully aware that there are other modes of raising 

 and lowering the frame containing the teeth of cultivators 

 in use, particularly that patented to D. B. Rogers, Jan. 16, 

 1849, which consists mainly of a combination of a crank 



axlelree extending across the centre of the frame, on the 

 ends or cranks whereof are mounted the sustaining wheels. 

 While I acknowledge the similarity of the lifting action of 

 the cranks of the axletree to that of the pivoteil segment 

 levers used by me, and which I .lisclaim, \ et I am not 

 aware that Mr. Rogers is eiitnleii t,, il.uni.il! means for 

 efiecting the same result, and 1 . mmi ej\ 1 ih.u mv impnne- 

 ments differ in material points hum hi-, and w liieli luiin the 

 subject of my claim, mounting the carrying wheels upon 

 axles F, only when said axles are made to project from 

 pivoted segment-shape levers at each side of the frame, in 

 the manner and for the purpose specified.
