HENRY O.'POPE, OF CLAUDE, TEXAS.
CULTIVATOR ATTACHMENT.No. 843,031.
To a whonu itymd conCern:
Be it known that I, HENRY 0. POPE, citi-
zen of the United States, residing at Claude,
in the county of .ristrong and State .of
Texas, have invented new and useful Im-
provenents in: Cultivator Attachments, of
which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cultivator attach-
ments; and more particularly to an attach-
to ment to be connected to a lister or other plow
and to be used in cleaning grass, weeds. or
the like from the. drills or rows. after the
planting of the ground..
My invention consists, broadly, in a pair of
5 cutting blades or knives adapted to be ad-
justably connected to the lister-beam after
the pJow-blades have been removed and
after the planting of the field,. and these.
knives are alapte1 to straddle the center row
20 and to work down to three inches under the-
surface of the ground, extending half-way to
the adjoining row on both sides of said center
row. thus absolutely killiiig all grass, weeds,
or the like, and turning.up just enough dirt
25 to cov er the scrub. , .By. thus treating each
rov in succession a field may be cleared more
quickly, more easily, and more thoroughly
b my improved attachment' than by any
implement in use.
30 My in mention also consists in certain 'i:m-
prOvements hereinafter, described in detail,
reference .ing- -ade to the accompanying
drawings, inwh h
.Figure 1 is a side elevation of. the inven-
35 tion. Fi. 2 is a front elevation, and Fig. 3
is a rear elevation.
Referring to the figures, 1 represents the
lister-beam with the upper and lower trans-
versely-extending openings 2 and.3,.'respec-
4o. tively.
4 and 5 represent, respectively, the inner.
and outer blocks, disposed on' both sides of
the beam 1' and connected adjacent their
upper ends to the beam I by means of the
45 botG, passing transversely through them.'
and through the upper opening 2. of said
beam.
7 and .8 are the cutting blades or knives
disposed to the rear of the beam 1 and pro-
50. vided withi the upturned portions 9 at anPatented Feb. 5,1907.
angle to said knives, and provided with curved
slots 10 centrally thereof. The .upturned
portions 9 of said knives are connected to the
beam 1 by means of bolt 11; passing through
the lower opening 3 of .said beam andalso .55
through the inner and outer blocks 4 and 5.
and working in the slots 10 of the upturned
portion 9, so that by loosening the bolt 11
the kniv es may be adjusted with relation to
their angle toward the surface of the soil. 6o
12 is a bolt connecting the upturned por-
tions 9 of the.knives in advance.of the beam
1, and 13 is a bearing-plate disposed to the
rear of said beam 1 and carrying eyebolts 14,
extending along the outside of the upturned 65
portions 9 and having their eye-portions 15,
embracing the shank of the bolt 12, adjacent

lister or other plow, a pair of cutting-blades
having upturned portions on one end pro-
vided with curved slots, a bolt passing trans-
versely throu said beam and operating in 8o
said slots, whereby an angular adjustment of
said cutting-blades ;nay be had, blocks dis-
pose(l between said beam and said upturned
portions through w-hich said- bolt also passes.
a pivotal connection between the blocks and 8.
the upturned portions, a forward bolt con-
necting said upturned portion in advance of
said beam, a bearing-plate disposed across
said upturned portions in the rear of said
beam, and eyebolts connecting said bearing- 90
plate and said forward bolt, substantially as
described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my
