 plow-beams to the axle, which shall relieve tlio 

 boltwhichretainslhepartsol the joiittlnnii thn 

 Rtraiiiof I he draft of the plows, and vvliieh shall 

 have its surfaces of ronlact mi which lateral 

 movemont of Iho plows is olitained so con- 

 stnicted that tlieywiH retain a hilirieanr, and 

 which are conneeted to ilu^ plowlieains in a

 raised above a worUiiij; position, and wlgcli 

 springs arc conneeted with the iiarts of the 

 joint, and ot tlic axle in close proximity to the 

 joint, and not with the plow beam, and hence 

 do not interfere with ihe niovcniciits of the 

 plow-beams; thiid, to |mo\ ide braces which do 

 iiotrcquiie adjnsiiii;,'v, hen the axle is adjust ed 

 to Bx tlie distanro between tlio plows; fourth, 

 to provide praclieal and comparatively cheap 

 means of securing: ;; pivoted tonp;i'R to an axle; 

 lifth, ti> provide means of preventing? tfuck- 

 draft of tliM toiiKiic; sixth, to provide i>low- 

 handles which may tte adjusted at did'erent an- 

 gles to the plow-beams, for the luiri'qse of ad- 

 juHtitifr' the rear ends of (ho liandles trans- 

 versely tothe machine; seventh, to ])rovide an- 

 altachnient of the shovels lo the siaiidards, 

 which provides moans of reinovingthe bolt by 

 which the parts arc attached to tlie standard 

 without reinovin;; the shovel-block from tho 

 shovel, and which also pro\itles for the use of 

 a wooden "break-pin.'' We attain these oh- 



1. In acnltivator-coupliiiK, tho [date J', pro- 

 vided with Ings which rest on tlie sleeve or 

 journal, and with an upper bearing-surface, in 

 combination with the bolt -T and nlatc K. se- 

 cured to the plow beam and provided with 

 an annular llaOge which extends downward 

 around the plato .1', so as to bear tlio dmft of 

 the plow, substantially as and for tho purpose 

 specitied. 



3. In a cultivator, the combination, with an 

 axle or frame and plows hinged thereto, so 

 as to have both vertical and lateral movement, 

 of a spring, N, and arm M, adapted to move 

 with tlie plow-beams when moved vertically 

 aud to exert a lifting force on tho plow, sub- 

 stantially as and for the iMuposc specified. 



3. The spring N> attiiched to the joornal, 

 ■on which the plows have vertical motion at 

 one end, and to an oscillating arm, M, at the 

 other end, in combination with the plow-boam 

 and the axle of a cultivator, substantially as 

 and for the pur|iosc specilicd. 



4. The spring N and oscillating arm M, ar- 

 ranged ^listantially as described, in combi- 

 nation with the arm j", extending rearward 

 from the plate J', and with the plow uud axle, 

 snbstantially as and for tho purpose speci- 

 fled. 



5. In combination with the coupling of a 

 cultivator, a spring, N, attached to au oscil- 

 lating arm, M, wiiich has a sli<ling connection 

 with an arm, j", projecting from one of the 

 coupling-pieces, snbstantially as and for the 

 purpose specified., 



G. In combination witii tho axle adjustable 

 by menus of the sleeve and set screws, as de- 

 scribed, and with the bars O and tongue C, 

 the braces 1), having a joint, rf, substautially 

 as and for the purpose specified. 



7. In combination with tho axle having arms 

 A"", with series of mljiisting-hoIuH, and ex- 

 tending forward of the vertical parts of the 

 axle, and provided with wheel-journals A"'" 

 at their forward euda, the draftliuka a, con- 

 nected at their front ends with the draft rods. 

 and at their rear ends in the series of hoU'S e', 



so that tho tlraft of tho team may be maile to 

 balance the parts and relieve neck -draft from 

 the tongue, substaTiliatly as and for the pur- 

 pose specified. 



•S. In combination witli the plow-beam and 

 handle, the plateO, secured to the plow-beam, 

 and the plate G', Becnred to the handle, and 

 having convex and concave faces, respectively, 

 and the stirrup <i", substantially as and for 

 the purpose specified. 



y. The shovel-block II, constructed in two 

 parts, n' II", hinged to each other, in combi- 

 nation with the shovel and standard, the part 

 H", provided with a slot, /i'", having an en- 

 larged end for the reception of the bolt /, and 

 the removal of the shovel-block without re- 

 moving the bolt, substantially as and for the 

 purpose specified.
