WILLIAM E. PARTIN, OF WAELDER, TEXAS.
PLOW-STOCK.Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 4, 1917.
Application filed April 6, 1917. Serial No. 160,226.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. PARTIN,
a citizen of the United States, residing at
Waelder, in the county of Gonzales and
5 State of Texas, have invented certain new
and useful Improvements in Plow-Stocks, of
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved
plow stock and the principal object of the
10 invention is to provide a plow stock which
will be adjustable so that the angle of the
foot piece carrying the plow blade may be
controlled thus causing the plow blade to
enter the ground at the proper angle ac-
15 cording to the type of ground being plowed.
Another object of the .invention is to so.
construct this plow stock that it may be
easily adjusted when so desired and securely
held in place and prevented from slipping.
20 Another object of the invention is to so
construct this stock that the angle of the foot
piece may be controlled through the medium
of a hand lever pivotally connected with the
plow beam and in operative connection with
25 a rack.
Another object of the invention is to so
construct this device that it will be simple
in structure but at the same time very strong
and durable and to further so construct that
30 it may comprise a comparatively few num-
ber of parts.
This invention is illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings, wherein:-
Figure 1 is a view showing the improved
35 plow stock in side elevation.
Fig. 2 is a view showing the improved
stock in top plan.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with one
handle and its bracing bar removed.
40 Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the
plow stock taken along the line 4-4 of
Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the foot
piece used in connection with this plow
45 stock.
The plow beam 10 is of a general I-shaped
structure as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 and has
its rear end portion connected with the
shoe 11 by fasteners 12, the beam being se-
50 cured adjacent the forward end portion of
this shoe to the rear of the goose neck or
head 13. The handles 14 have their lower
ends fitting against the sides of the plow
beam 10 above the shoe 11 and engaged by
55 the yokes or clamps 15 which clamps arecarried by the securing bolts 16 passing
through the ends of the handles and through
the plow beam. Bracing bars or straps 17
are connected with the handles by fasteners 18
forward of the cross bar 19 and have their 60
forward ends connected with the plow beam
by fastener 20. The handles will thus be se-
curely connected with the plow beam above
the shoe 11 and will be held against move-
ment and braced against strain. 65
The actuating lever 21 is provided at its
lower end with a forwardly extending arm
22 pivotally mounted upon a bolt 23 passing
through an opening 24 in the plow beam and
serving not only as means for pivotally 70
mounting the lever 21 but further serving as
securing means for the rear or lower end of
the plate 25. This plate 25 extends along
the side face of the plow beam and has its
upper or forward end engaged by the bolt 75
26 passing through the opening 27 in the
plow beam and serving as a fastener for
the upper or forward end of the rack 28.
This rack 28 has its rear or lower end pro-
vided with a slot 29 through which passes 80
a fastener bolt 30 passing through the
handles as shown in Figs. I and 2 and carry-
ing abutment nuts 31 engaging opposite side
faces of the rack to hold the rack against
transverse movement. A strip 32 is secured 85
to the adjusting lever by fasteners 33 and
bent intermediate its length to provide a
pocket 34 through which the rack 28 passes
and has its lower end portion bent to ex-
tend in spaced relation to the lever and with 90
the lower end portion of the lever form a
bearing pocket in which the upper end of
the link 35 is pivotally mounted by the fas-
tener 36. A set screw 37 is carried by lever
21 and when tightened will engage the rack 95
28 thus securely but releasably holding the
lever against movement.
The plow blade will be secured to the neck
portion 38 of the foot piece which foot piece
is formed from a strip bent intermediate its 100
length to provide arms extending parallel
to provide the neck 38 and having their free
end portions bent outwardly and then ex-
tended parallel to provide arms 39 which
arms extend upon opposite sides of the plow 105
beam and are connected by belts 40 and 41.
The bolt 40 connecting the rear end por-
tions of these arms 39 passes through the
lower end portion of the link 35 and car-
ries a sleeve 42 shown in Fig. 4 to hold the 11019248,900
