CLEVISES. 



51 



brace, consisting of a rod secured to the rear 

 of the beam at its downward curve by means 

 of lugs, and secured by nuts. The forward 

 end of the rods are formed into links, which 

 pass over the lateral extension of the clevis and 

 fit in a recess at either end of the same. The 

 pin upon which the clevis is secured fits in a 

 slot in the beam, so that, when the center of 

 the clevis shall occupy the rear end of the slot, 

 the draught will be constantly thrown upon 

 the rods. 



Claim. The lateral braces C C, attached to 

 the clevis at any point, and to the hinder part 

 or downward curve of the beam, or to the 

 standard, by means of the lugs B, or their 

 equivalent, in combination with the slot Hand 

 clevis bolt I, all these parts being constructed 

 and operating substantially as and for the pur- 

 pose set forth.

Seneca County, N. Y. Plow-Clevises. May 



5, 1863. 



The clevis consists of a toothed and slotted 

 plate, through which the draught-rod passes, 

 and which may be rotated on a disk wheel, 

 which itself may be varied in its set on the 

 notched end of the beam ; the effect of this 

 four-fold toothed arrangement being to give 

 the draught-rod any required lateral or verti- 

 cal adjustment in its relation to the end of the 

 beam. 



Claim. The dial-plate C, provided with 

 cogs d d on one side, engagaging with the cogs 

 a a of the beam, and with concentric radial 

 teeth gg on the other side, engaging with the 

 index plate D, that sustains and adjusts the 

 draught-rod, substantially as and for the pur- 

 poses herein set forth. 



42,401. DAMEL RHODES, Pawtuxet, 



R. I. Plows. Apr. 19, 1864. 



This invention consists in the employment 

 of a vertically moving frame arranged upon 

 the front end of the plow-beam, and operated 

 by means of a lever extending back to near 

 the plow handle, under control of the op- 

 erator of the plow, for the purpose of varying 

 the line of draught so as to cause the point of 

 the share to penetrate the ground at a greater 

 or less depth, and thereby regulate the depth 

 of the furrow as may be desired. 



Claim. The arrangement of the vertically 

 moving frame H, arms/, roller R, and loop E, 

 with the clevis I, beam A, lever F, and guide 

 G, all in the manner herein shown and de- 

 scribed. 



48,844. ANDREW SHOGREN, Sand- 

 wich, 111. Plow-Clevises. July 18, 1865. 

 This invention consists in arranging in that 

 part of the clevis exposed to wear, hard cast 

 iron, in such a manner as to be easily detach- 

 able, when required to be removed. 



Claim. Providing a clevis with a cast-iron 

 lining or jacket, substantially as set forth and 

 specified. 



49,733. O. P. DILLS, Falmouth, Ky. 



Plows. Sept. 5, 1865. 



In this invention a small arm is pivoted at 

 the front end of a plow-beam, and carries a 

 caster wheel. The. said arm is adjusted upon 

 a rack at the driver's seat, and elevates or de- 

 presses the caster wheel. A rigid arm extends 

 out at right angles to the plow-beam, carries a 

 seat, and is furnished with caster wheels for its 

 support. 



Claim. The adjustable bar F, with the 

 wheel I, rack J, wheel D, and standard C, in 

 combinaton with the rigid arm B, all con- 

 structed and arranged substantially as shown 

 and specified. 



52,123. LOYAL W. ALDEN, Foster- 

 ville, N. Y. Plow-Clevises, Jan. 23, 1866. 

 This invention, consists of a spring-clevis 

 made in two sections, connected at their front 

 by an equalizing bar, to which the team is 

 hitched, and lugs or arms, through which, and 

 through a plate on the beam, a pin may pass 

 to raise or lower the line of draught, and piv- 

 oted at their rear to the beam to admit of thus 

 raising or lowering it at pleasure. 



Claim. In combination with the sectional 

 plates and spings pivoted at their rear to the 

 beam, and made adjustable thereto at their 

 front ends, the equalizing bar connected there- 

 to, substantially in the manner and for the 

 purpose described.

 cinnati, Ohio., assignor to himself and Jo- 

 seph Hargrave. Plow-Clevises. Aug. 21, 

 1866. 



The socket is slotted, permitting the clevis 

 pin to drop into place when it is tightened by 

 a partial revolution engaging its sections of 

 threads with the threads in the socket. 



Claim. Forming the clevis and bolt by 

 casting the same with interrupted threads, in 

 the manner and for the purpose set forth. 



65,357. WALDENEDDY, Greenwich, 

 N. Y. Plow-Clevises. June 4, 1867. 

 Claim. 1. Forming the adjusting bolt B 

 solidly upon and out of the forward end of the 

 plow-beam, substantially as herein shown and 

 described. 



2. Securing the rear end of the draft bar F 

 in the space between the bars a 1 and a 2 of the 

 plow-beam A, by a bolt G passing through an 

 eye or hook p formed upon the rear end of 

 the said draft bar F, substantially as herein 

 shown and described and for the purpose set 

 forth.

place. Plows. June 25, 1867. 



The bar on the lower edge of the land-side 

 is united to the share by a dovetail under- 

 neath. The clevis is cast in two portions, which 

 clasp the beam by a dovetail socket and are 

 secured by a bolt. 



Claim. 1. Uniting the bar A to the share
