 My invention has relation to that class of 

 ileviees or attachments which are adapted to 

 e.-iercise a gradually -increasing pull upon a 

 ebaiii secured at one end tlioreof, and is there- 

 fore particularly adapted as an altacbrnciit to 

 walking and riding culIi\atoi's, sidky- rakes, 

 aud similar agricultural implements which arc 

 Iirovided with shovel or teeth carrying beUms 

 hinged upon alFamc aud adapted to be raised 

 or lowered to bting tlie sliovels or teeth, as 

 ihe case may be, out of or into operation oi 

 contact with the sod. To raise the hinged 

 beams of implements cf this nature u|) from 

 the grouml requires the exertion of consider- 

 ablo power, the foi'ce or power required for 

 this purpose increasing in the same ratio as 

 the distance from the ground. Hence the ob- 

 ject of my iuventiou is to construct a simple 

 and eflicient device or attachment cousisliug, 

 esseutially, of a cam-shea\e which is turned' 

 by the force of a spriug and connected to one 

 cnil of the chain, which, on being wound np 

 by the sheave, raises the beams, so that very 

 little power is required for this operation of 

 raising the beam or beams, as the force of the 



spriug is increased in exactly tlio same ratio 

 as that of the resistauce to be ovcr^omc, us 

 will inoTO fullj appear by reference to the fol- 

 lowing description of my impvovcnicut aa ap- 

 plied to and forunog a part of a cultivntor.
