PLOWS 



seventeen inches at the bottom, of cast-iron, 

 being thirteen inches high. The landside, 

 eighteen inches long, of cast-iron, it and the 

 mold-board being cast solid or in one piece. 

 The top of the mold has a small stem two inches 

 wide and one inch thick to pass through the 

 beam ; a share thirteen inches long and two 

 inches wide, cast solid with the mold-board ; 

 a colter, of steel, twelve inches long and six 

 inches wide, two inches on the landside and 

 three on the mold-board, fastened by two screw- 

 bolts passing through the colter and mold- 

 board ; a second share, of steel, fifteen inches 

 long and seven inches wide, fitting up to a 

 shoulder or rabbet in the mold-board and run- 

 ning an inch and a half under the first share 

 and made fast by two screw-bolts, the colter 

 and second share being welded at the point ; a 

 plate of steel put on the outside of the land- 

 side, fastened by two screw-bolts; a wooden- 

 beam four feet long, and two handles three 

 feet long, handles fastened together by three 

 rings. 



What I claim as my invention or improve- 

 ment in the above is — 



The cast-iron share or first share, cast solid 

 with the mold board, the landside, cast solid 

 or in one piece, the steel plate on the landside, 

 the second share being of steel and split and 

 made so as to fit on a shoulder on the mold- 

 board and cover the second share on top and 

 project an inch and a half on the under side, 

 being welded fast to the colter at the point, 

 fastened by two screw-bolts to the mold-board, 

 the colter, of steel or iron, split and made ex- 

 tending three inches on the mold-board, two 

 and a half on the landside, fastened by two 

 screw-bolts, the mold-board being of the form 

 of the Gary or Bull plow.

Claim. The rod D, for securing the handles 

 A, to the mold-board, in connection with the 

 hasp. The removable cutter C, of sheet iron.

No Claim. The invention consists in cast- 

 ing the movable share and landside sufficiently 

 deep to protect the front of the mold-board 

 from most of the wear to which it is exposed. 

 To effect this object a recess is cast in the mold- 

 board sufficiently large and deep to receive the 

 improved share and landside. The share is 

 then attached to the mold-board by bolts and 

 screws. The cutting of the sword is performed 

 wholly by the cutting-edge of the share, and 

 not by any part of the mold-board, whereby a 

 considerable saving of mold-boards is accom- 

 plished. 



ANTHONY TAYLOR, Green Township, 



Ohio. Plows, Dec. 26, 1833. 



No Claim. The colter instead of being a 

 separated piece or attached to the mold board 

 forms a part of the share, which is joined to 



the upper surface of the mold board rather 

 than the nether, as the others permitting the 

 part that forms the colter to rest about one 

 third its base upon the mold board the upper 

 edge of the share bedded into the mold-board, 

 so that they present an even surface to the 

 furrow the share and colter fastened to the 

 mold-board by means of a screw that passes 

 throngh the share and mold board and tightens 

 underneath by means of a nut ; second, the 

 horizontal surface of the mold board is nearly 

 spherical instead of being straight, the advan- 

 tage of which is it operates with the colter to 

 facilitate the breaking of the turf; third, the 

 left side of the mold board is continued up, 

 forming the bolt that passes through the beam 

 of the plow, having a shoulder to give the 

 beam a permanent rest ; fourth, the front sur- 

 face of the mold board from the angle of the 

 share and colter to the rear point has no con- 

 cavity, as the plows of which is an improvement 

 but is straight, entering the ground upon the 

 the principle of the inclined plane.

Md. Plows. Mar. 17, 1834. 



Claim, I distinctly claim the application of 

 the share, with two points and which admits 

 of a reverse application to the mold board and 

 which by means of reversing the application 

 sharpens itself by use. 



JAMES JACOBS, Maysville, Ky. Plows.

Claim. The construction of the described 

 mold-board, lies on the concavity and convex- 

 ity produced, on the surface to obtain the rules 

 laid down for drawing the lines on which the 

 segments of the different circles are to be 

 struck according to the desired end by means 

 of or according to the arch given by the per- 

 pendiculars, raised from them. 



NATHAN ROBINSON, Sackets Harbour, 



N. Y. Plows. Feb. 13, 1835. 



Claim. A plow formed upon the princi- 

 pals, or in the manner herein set forth, by 

 which it is made to run more easily and cleanly 

 than those now in use.

The advantages of the first are that the 

 draft is rendered more lighter in consequence 

 of their being less friction, the spaces between 

 the ribs preventing that clogging and accu- 

 mulation of earth and soil, common to the 

 mold board, and that all or any part of the 

 ribs can be taken off at pleasure and a heavy 

 plow made light, according to the the work to 

 be performed. By the second the stock is 

 much simplified and rotting prevented there 

 being no wood coming in contact with the 

 earth. By the third the cost of the plow with 

 this improvement will be much less than those 

 in common use it being so simple and so cheap 

 construction. By this means, also, the pitch 

 of the plow can be regulated in a moment bv
