Mich. Plows. Patent No. 211,892, Feb. 



4, 1879. Reissued Oct. 14, 1879. Filed 



Aug. 8, 1879. 



Claim. 1. The combination, with a stand- 

 ard and a plow-beam, of two clamping-plates, 

 formed to provide an opening, within which 

 the rear portion of the beam is fitted, together 

 with fastening devices adapted to secure said 

 plates in different positions on the standard, 

 and thereby laterally adjust the plow-beam, 

 substantially as set forth, 



2. The combination, with a standard and a 

 plow-beam, of two grooved plates adapted to 

 embrace the rear extremity of the beam, and 

 bolts which work in slots formed in said plates, 

 to secure the latter, together with the beam, in 

 lateral adjustment on the standard, substantially 

 asset forth. 



3. I he combination, with a standard and a 

 plow-beam, of two plates, respectively provi- 

 ded with a centrally-grooved opening, within 

 which the rear extremity of the beam is fitted, 

 and also having segmental slots on both sides 

 of said opening, together with bolts formed 

 rigid with the standard, which work in said 

 slots, substantially as set forth. 



4. The combination, with a plow-beam whose 

 rear end is provided with a laterally-projecting 

 head, of two beam-clamping plates, respectively 

 provided with a notch, in which said head fits 

 to prevent the beam from rotary movement, 

 and fastening devices which secure said plates, 



together with the beam, to the standard, sub- 

 stantially as set forth. 



5. The combination, with a plow-beam whose 

 rear extremity is provided with a hole and two 

 plates, respectively, grooved to form an open- 

 ing, within which the beam fits, of bolts which 

 pass through slots in said plates and secure the 

 latter, together with the beam, in horizontal 

 adjustment on the standard, one of said plates 

 being formed with a pin, which fits in said hole 

 in the beam and prevents displacement of the 

 latter between said clamping-plates, substan- 

 tially as set forth. 



6. The combination, with a standard formed 

 with rear projecting pins, of tubular plow- 

 handles whose forward extremities fit over said 

 pins, and fastening devices which secure said 

 parts together, substantially as set forth. 



7. The combination, with a skeleton-frame 

 which supports the plow-handles, and whose 

 lower portion projects forward, of a bracket 

 which extends downward and rearward from 

 the standard, together with bolt-and-slot mech- 

 anism, which adjustably secures said frame and 

 bracket together, substantially as set forth. 



8. The combination, with a plow-beam and 

 a wheel-standard, of a plate formed with a hori- 

 zontal recess, within which the beam fits, and 

 a beam - fastening device which clamps the 

 standard thereto, said recessed plate fitting 

 about the upper and lower sides of the beam, 

 and thereby maintaining the standard in oper- 

 ative position, substantially as set forth. 



9. The combination, with a plow -beam 

 formed tubular throughout its length, and a 

 screw-cap fitted on its threaded forward ex- 

 tremity, of a draft-rod which passes through a 

 slot in said cap, and a spiral spring whose rear 

 end bears against a head formed on the inner 

 end of said rod, while its opposite end bears 

 against said screw-cap, together with a clevis, 

 substantially as set forth.

The landside is thickened toward the front 

 to fill the space between the double beam, and 

 provided with a seat for the mold-board. Both 

 beam and handles adjust upon the landside. 



Claim. The landside A, forming the stand- 

 ard of the plow, and having the slotted arm b 

 and the slotted forward extension c, of increas- 

 ing thickness, in combination with the double 

 beam C and adjustable handles B, substantially 

 as and for the purpose set forth.

The plow-standard is hinged to a bracket. 

 Its cross-slot and set-screws allow adjustment 

 of point to or from land, and the slotted handle 

 and flexible joint permit the beam to be de- 

 pressed. 



Claim. The combination of the slotted 

 bracket c, hinged standard l>, and set-screws f
