This iiivciitieii has rcinlion to coupling iic- 

 vices for comielUinp the licains of plows niid 

 cultivators to the dnill-fraiiios; nut) it consists 

 in tlio construction and novel arrangement of a 

 sectioiinl yokeplato, tbo laterally-ujovingcen- 

 tercotmettcd to the front iiart of the yoke, the 

 double bearing-plates to wbicb tbo beam is 

 connected, and the parallel moving link bars 

 or connections pivoted to tbo yoke alul center 

 plates, all a^ liereinafter set forth. 



The object of this invention is to provi le a 

 simple means for obviating the lateral sunin 

 on tbc wheels of the draft-framt^, and to keep 

 the beam direct in its movement, and to control 

 the plow or shovel in such a manner as to pre- 

 vent a rocking movement thereof.

 and cultivators, the sectional yoke baving a 

 laterally-moving rear section bearing the cen- 

 ter plate which carries tbo beam, substantially 

 as specified.

 and cultivators, the yoke-jdates B and 0, con-

Tins improvement Id Biilky-plows consists 

 of ajoint in the tongae a little in advance of 

 the a^He on which tbe wheels are mounted, 

 and abont.n'here tbe evener is attached, for 

 allowing the tongue toswing,sotliat the horses 

 may getnbouthalf-way around square corners 

 before tbe plow turiis, together with stops by 

 which the movement of the tongue oo said 

 pivot is limited to the required amount, said 

 stops being ch^^ngeable for allowing the tongue 

 to be shifted iu like maimer on said pivot, 

 either to tbe right or left band. By thus al- 

 lowing thett^m to turn about half around the 

 coruer before starting the plow and then ]>Qn- 

 ing directly ahead iu the directiou of the fur- 

 row the plow comes into position better than 

 when the joint is behind the wheels, where it 

 has commonly been located heretofore. The 

 jointis also osofal for wbeel-cutttvators; batin 

 that case the stops are shifted so as to allow 

 the tongue to vibrate both ways alike.

 two parts B 0, pivoted together, and provided 

 with the stops G H IJ, adjustably secnre^l to
