FRIEDRICK JOHANNING AND LEO RICHNOW, OF CORTEZ, COLORADO.
DI'ICHING-MACHINE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, F RIEDRIOK JOHAN- NING and LEO RIoHNow, citizens of the United States, residing at Cortez, in the county of Montezuma and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ditching-Machines, of which the following is a specification, ref erence being had to the accompanying drawings.
his invention relates to ditching machines and has for its object to provide a suitable plow device which will make ditches, and throw the dirt therefrom to the sides of the same, so that it will be entirely out of the way.
Another object of this invention is to provide it wit-h an adjusting means whereby the angle, at which this device will dig into the ground, can be suitably provided for.
A further object of this invention is to provide it with a knife which can be readily removed and sharpened whenever the same is desirable.
A still further object is to arrange the device so that it can also be used for removing snow or mud from side-walks and streets.
Another object of this invention is to have it so arranged and designed as to be readily manufactured at a comparatively low cost.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent as it is more fully set fort-h.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate by way of example an embodiment of this invention: Figure 1 represents a plan view of a ditching device embodying this invention; Fig. 2 is a view in elevation; Fig. 3 is a front view.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
In the construction shown in the drawings, 1 represents a body or base portion of the ditching machine which is preferably constructed out of any suitable material into the shape shown in the drawings. The upper portion of this body being angularly tipped and its lower surface fiat so as to normally rest on the ground. The sides 2 of this body are extended upwardly and are cut at their end portions 3 in order to enable the earth that the device digs up to flow up by the sides 2 and out of the open ings 3, being assisted in this action by the curved sides 4 of a plow member or mold Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed July 19, 1911.
Patented Feb. 13, 1912. Serial No. 639,304.
board. This plow member or mold board being secured to the body proper in any suitable manner.
In order to give the body proper of this device its proper form and in order to keep down the cost of manufacture of the same, it is preferably made from a single piece of material cut into the necessary shape and bent into the form shown in the drawing. A back is made, in order to reinforce the body, by extending down the material from the rear part of the upper portion and connecting it to the lower orground portion of the machine. The outer or front portion of the sides 2 of the body are slightly flared as is clearly shown in the drawings. The dotted lines in Fig. 2 indicate the general interior construction of the body and 4' are suitable means for securing the mold board to said body.
To the front portions of the body and the sides of the same is secured a removable knife 5, that is bent to conform with the same. The bolts 6 being provided in order to removably secure it to the body.
Provided on the upper portion of the plow member 4 is an extending beam 9 that has its front portion 10 arranged to receive a Whittle-tree, to which the power can be secured to pull the machine through the earth. The clevis 10 is provided with a number of holes 11 vertically disposed over one another, as is clearly shown in the drawings, in order that the whiflie tree may be attached to different ones of them, so that a deeper ditch may be dug according to the conditions arising. The ditch being du deeper as the whiffie tree is attached to the holes nearest the top.
As the ditcher is drawn along the ground the knife 5 is dug into the same and causes the dirt therefrom to flow along the upper surface of the body portion bet-ween the plow member 4 and the sides 2, and from thence out of the openings 3, which will deposit the dirt at the sides of the ditch that has been dug. Whenever it is desired to change the direction of the ditch in any way, the operator suitably turns the ditcher by means of the handles 7 Having thus described this invention it is claimed:
1. In a ditching machine, the combination of a body having its side pieces angularly disposed with respect to the ground, said side pieces having their upper rear portions cut away and a'mold board disposed in said cut away portions and arranged to guide the material dug up by said machine off the rear side portions thereof.
2. In a ditching machine, a body comprising a single piece of material having a portion thereof arranged to form the base of the same, and the sides angularly set with respect thereto, a back integrally connected to the end of the last mentioned portion and arranged to connect with said base, said side pieces having their rear upper portions cut away angularly arranged portion and having a draw bar integrally connected thereto, said mold board being arranged to guide the material dug up by said machine, to the rear side portions thereof.
In testimony whereof we hereunto afiix our signatures in the presence of two wit- HBSSBS.
