COLTERS. 



with a curvature near the lower part and term- 

 inating at its junction with the blade. The 

 blade projects upward near the plow beam, 

 and has a curved point. 



Claim. The herein described colter, con- 

 sisting of the shank A, and blade B, the same 

 being constructed as and for the purposes set 

 forth.

N. Y. Plows. Apr. 10, 1866. 



This invention relates to a new and useful 

 improvement in that class of plows which have 

 supplemental shares attached for the purpose 

 of removing the sod or surfaces-soil separately 

 from the earth turned over by the main share 

 and mold-board, and to throw said sod or sur- 

 face-soil into the bottom of the furrow made 

 at the previous passage or bout of the plow, 

 so that the lower soil turned over by the main 

 share or plow will be thrown directly on the 

 top of the sod or surface-soil. 



Claim. The supplemental share D, con- 

 structed substantially as shown and described, 

 and attached to the plow-beam at the rear of 

 the colter and point of the share of the main 

 plow, as and for the purpose herein set forth.

Plow-Colters. June 12, 1866. 



The arc -shaped colter has tenoned ends 

 which fit indifferently into the share or sheath, 

 permitting its reversal when worn ; a forked 

 brace depends from the beam. 



Claim. 1. The construction of a self-sup- 

 porting colter in the form of an arch resting 

 on its abutments, the share and post, and 

 which from its peculiar construction and appli- 

 cation is reversible and equivalent to two single 

 colters, which form one arch, or arc of a 

 circle. 



2. The construction of the rod in combina- 

 tion with the colter, which rod passes through 

 the beam and descends to and down at each 

 side of the colter in the form of a fork, sub- 

 stantially as shown and described.

Mount Hawley, 111. Cultivator-Plows. Aug. 



7, 1866. 



The shank of the rotary colter is pressed up 

 through a socket clamp, and provided with a 

 collar and set-screw to secure it in any posi- 

 tion. 



Claim. The shank B, the collar C, and the 

 clamp E, arranged and used substantially in 

 the manner and for the purpose set forth. 



4,597, WILLIAM WARREN STILL- 

 MAN, Mount Hawley, assignor to Ralph 

 Emerson, Rockford, 111. ~ Plow-Colters. 

 Patent 57,007, dated Aug. 7, 1866. Re- 

 issued Oct. 17, 1871. 



Claim. 1. The clamp constructed as here- 

 inbefore described, with jaws to embrace the 

 upper and lower sides of the plow-beam, pinch- 

 screws to clamp the beam, and eyes for the 



colter-spindle, to adjust the colter laterally, as 

 set forth. 



2. The combination of the eyes on the clamp, 

 the colter-spindle adjustable endwise therein, 

 the collar embracing the spindle between the 

 eyes, and the pinch-screw clamping the collar 

 on the spindle, substantially asset forth, to ad- 

 just the spindle vertically. 



3. The combination of the colter, its spindle, 

 the collar, the clamp, and the set-screw ; all 

 these parts being constructed and operating in 

 combination, substantially asset forth, to limit 

 the vibration of the colter. 



4. The combination of the laterally-adjust- 

 able clamp, the vertically-adjustable swiveling- 

 colter, and the set-screw or stop to limit the 

 vibration of the latter, while allowing it to 

 conform to the line of draft ; these members 

 being constructed to operate in combination 

 substantially as before set forth.

Plows. Aug. 14, 1866. 



Instead of being rigid'the colter swivels in 

 its socket. and is vertically adjustable by wash- 

 ers beneath the beam. 



Claim. 1. Swivelling the colter or cutter 

 for plows or cultivators in sockets or brackets, 

 so attached to the beam as will permit the 

 colter or cutter a lateral and vertical adjust- 

 ment, substantially as and for the purpose set 

 forth. 



2. Giving the swiveled colter or cutter both 

 a vertical and horizontal adjustment, substan- 

 tially in the manner and for the purpose set 

 forth. 



57,286. SAMUEL CASEBEER, Rose- 

 burg, Oregon. Plow-Colters. Aug. 21, 

 1866. 

 The foot of the colter is stepped into the 



land-side, and its point lies upon the nose of 



the share. 



Claim. The application to plows of the 



aforesaid colter, in the way and manner herein 



described. 



57,909. CHESTER B. HUNTING. 



Clinton, 111. Plows. Sep. n, 1866. 



The cutting disk is attached to the land-side 

 and is revolved by the passage over it of the 

 sod. 



Claim. A cutter in the form of a disk, and 

 attached to a plow so as to cut from bottom to 

 top, for the purposes and substantially as here- 

 in described. 



61,508. THEOPHILUS F. BER- 

 TRAND and PETER SAMES, Rock- 

 ford, 111. Plows. Jan. 29, 1867. 

 The colter has a limited oscillation and is 

 vertically adjustable in 'its frame, which is at- 

 tached to the side of the beam. 



Claim. 1. A vibrating colter, when limited 

 in its vibrations, substantially in the manner 

 and for the purpose set forth.
