My invention is an improvement on the de- vices shown iu Letters Patent No. 239,219, granti'd March 22, 18SI, Ibr.snpporting the ro- tary plows and traction-wheels. Li that pat- ent the rotary disks were journaled on swiv- eJed standards with adjustable bearings and braces, for adjustment toward each other and to diflerent angles to the line of draft. The awiveled axle-standard was held in position from moving sidewise by a side brace attached to the crossbeam of the machine and to the standard uear the axle by means of a strap or band connection. To this strap or band was secured a spindle uroieciin^ outward from the machine, upon which the da^nd-lever uavmg a traction-wheel attached was pivoted. There was also a brace attached to a plate or wfisher on the axle between the disk and upright stand- ard, extending to the forward cross-beam of the machine. The draft-bar was also connected to this plate or washer ou the axle, the forward end supported by a chain secured to the cross- beam above. This raodeofattachiug the braces to hold the axle-standard and support the swinging traction-wheels, and also the manner of connecting tlje draft-bar, is not considered sufficiently strong and rigid for the work the machine has to perform ; so I have devised a form of axle-support to which the brace-rods and draft bar c;ui bo attached, possessing the requisite amount of strength and durability, that will overcome the objections found in the • other machine. 1.

In my improvements I aim to overcome some objectionable results from springs now used in wheeled cultivators. That I may be more readily understood I will refer lo the springs in general use and the results. First, a spriug so constructed and adjusted as to exert an up- ward or raising force upon the plow-beam, also to exert a downward or depressing force upon the plow-beam, depends for this result upon the plow-beam passing above or belowa given point It is apparent, therefore, if the ground be uneven the spring will exert a force when least needed, or a force in the opposite direc- tionofthatreqoired. Ifaportionoftbegrouud be hard, as compared with other (wrtions, or very eoft, it will be seen that springs of this class may work improperly. Another class of springs in general use are those which exert acontinuoos upward. or rais- ing lorceqpon thei)low-beam,andin this class, uuless the plows are firmly held in the ground by the operator, the teiideucy is for the plows to rise out of the ground, or partially so, in striking hard soil. The springs now in com- mon use are constructed with other parts so as to freqneutlv get out of repair, and they also take up much of the space between the wheel and arch. Another objeotion existing in wheeled cul- tivators now in use is the inability to use an areh of sufflciont width to avoid injuring the stalks of corn whtii at an advanced stage of growth, and yet permit the cultivation of the corn in an early stageof itsgrowthsufflciently near to the plants without the operator using cousiderablo power to hold the plow-beams so as to bring the plows near to the plants. It can bo readily seen that whenever the plows follow in a direct line from where the beam is atuched to the axle it is easier furthe operator : but if the operator is required to hold the beam iu sueU position that the plows will be in the ground at the right or left of snch direotliueit requires Ihe exertion of more or less strength by the operator, aud is neces- sarily very fatiguiug. 1 obviate tlus objec- tion'by a device which I shall more fully ex- plain hereinafter, whereby I can so regulate the connection of the front end of the plow- beam to the axle as to have such point of con- nection ins'do of tlic arch or outside thereof, atpleasi'ie. 1.

This invention is intended to remedy the difficulty frequently experienced in drilling in hanl gi-ouud, where the hoes fail to pass suffi- ciently into the ground when it is harder than usual. In such c:isc the common practice has been to load the hoes by hanging weights on tho drag bars. 3Iy improvement consists in attachuig springs to a roller or oscillating bar ojierated by a crank, or equivalent mechan- ism, tho springs pressing against the uppei face of the drag-bar, and pressing them dowL with a force' depending upon the tension of tlie springs. The sjjriugs beiiiiug against the upper side of the drag-bars do not interfere with the movement of the drag-bar forward and back necessary to arrange the hoes in one row or zigii\g,. 1.

The essential feature of my invention con- sists ill appIyiiigNi lifting spring or springs in such luaniiDr that they ilo Tiot incrcaao their lifting strain as tho beam i.^de]irossed,tliecon- striictioM preferred being such that the springs exert an increased lifting action as the beams rise from an operative to an inoperative posi tion. I am aware that springs liavo been applied iji vftrious ways to assist in lifting the beams in this class of innehines; but in all eases their arringcment was such that they acted with an increased lifting strain as tlio beams were lowered, tiio eoiisefjiience of which airange- mentwas, that the springs eserte; tLe shovels fir teeth, as the case niay be, out of or into o))eratinn or contact with the soil. To rai.se the hinged beams of impIemcntB cf this nature up from tbo ground requires the e.vortion of consider able power, the force or power required for this pnrposo iucieasing in the same ratio as tho distance from the groiuul. Hence tho ob- ject of my invention is to cimstrnet a simple and efficient device or attachment consisting, essentially, of a cam -sheave «liich is turned by the force of a spring and connected to one end of the chain, which, on bein;; wound up by the sheave, raises the beams, so that very little power is required for this operation of raising the beam or beams, as the force^of the spring is increased in exactly the same ratio as that of the resistance to be overcome, as will more fully appear by reference to the fol- lowing description of my improvement as ap- plied to and forming a part of a cultivator. 1.

It has become common to use springs in cultivators for the purpose of partially sup- porting the plow-beams when in use, the tend- dency of such springs being to elevate the beams : hence, if the operator wishes to press the beams aownwardtoplow deeper, ho has to overcome the tension of the springs. The objectof my invention is to provide cul- tivators with spiingsconnected with the beams, whioli springs will be free to act jit all limes, but which, when the shovels are in the ground, will not operate so as to have a tendency to elevate tho rear ends of the beams, but when the rear ends of the beams are raised a little will come into action and will raise and hold or assist iij raising and holding the shovels ont of the ground. A further object is to so arrange the sprin^^s that if desired they can also be used for the purpose of aidiog in hold- ing the shovels in the ground.

That I may be mure readily nnderstood 1 will refer to tbe springs in general ose and the results. First, a spring 80 constructed and adjusted as to exert au op- ward or raising force upon the plow-beam, also to exert; a downward or depressing force upon the plow-beam, depends for this result upon the plow-beam passing above or below a given point. It is apparent, therefore, if the ground be uneven the spring will exert a force when least needeti, or a force in tbe opposite direc- tion of thatrequirod. Ifa portion of thoground be hard, as compared with other portions, or very soft, it will be seen that springs of this class may work improperly. Another class of springs iu general use are those which exert a continnous upward orrais- ing forceupoutheplow-beam,andin this class, unless the plows are firmly held in the ground ■by tbe operator, the tendency is for tho plows to rise out of the ground, or partially so, in striking hard soil.
