This invention relates to that class of cnlti- 

 vators in which the shovels are attached to 

 beanisjointedatllieirforwardendstoa wheeled 

 draft -frame in such manner that they may 

 be moved horizontally to follow the rows of 

 corn and vertically to throw tliom into and out 

 of action, and particularly to an improved 

 spring attachment designed to raise or assist 

 the operator in raising the beams above an op- 

 erative position without interforiiig with their 

 lateral moticm when in action. The arrange- 

 ment is designe<! so that when the beams are 

 in an operative position they will be subjected 

 to little or no lifting strain. 



The invention consists essentially in mouut- 

 ing on the frame of the machine, in any siliit- 

 able position, a pair of arms or levers acting 

 on the principle of the familiar knee- lever oi 

 toggle-joint, and combiuiug therewith an acta 

 ating spring or springs and a pendulous rod 

 or chain connected to the plow-beam or its ad 

 iuDCts, as set forth.

 ing beam, the suspending rod or chain, the 

 sleeve provided with the horizontal arm to 

 which tho suspending device is attached, and 

 also with the dependiug arm, the movable rod 

 jointed to said depending arm, and the spring 

 arranged to urge the rod upward, as described 

 and showu. 



2. la combination with tho beam and tho 

 arched axle, tho arm or journal F, secured to 

 the axle, the sleeve provided with tho two 

 arms and mounted upon the journal, tho sus- 

 pending device extending from one of said 

 arms to the beam, and tho spring-actuated de- 

 vice operating upon the other of said arms, 

 substantially as described and shown. 



3. In combination with the beam, the ele- 

 vated rotary sleeve or bearing provided with 

 two aruis, tho connecting device oxtcoding 

 from one of said arms to the beam, provided 



with thospiial spring J, and thorodn,mouDtcd 

 at one end in tlio guide I, and having its op- 

 posite end pivoted to the arm of the sleeve and 

 provided with the linger f, co-operating with 

 A corresponding flnger on the sleeve, substan-
