R. L. KIRBY. RIDING HARROW.
Patented May 3, 1892.
UNITED STATES PATENT QEEICE.
REMEMBRANCE L. KIRBY, OF PGMERQY, VASHINGT ON.
RIDING-HARROW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 473,933, dated May 3, 1892.
Application iled .Tuly 2,1891. Serial No. 398,291. (No model.)
.To @ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, REMEMBRANCE L. KIRBY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pomeroy, in the coun-ty of Gariield and State of l/Vashington, have invented a new and useful Riding-Harrow, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in riding-harrows, the objects being to provide a barrow so constructed that the wheels or truck will follow directly in the wake of the harrow and which is capable of turning short at the ends of the travels and close to fences and other obstructions.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a harrow constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same in the act of turning.
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates the axle of the truck of the harrow, which axle is reduced at its ends to form bearings and has mounted thereon the ground-wheels 2. The upper side of the axle has let therein the rear end of the reach 3, the two being rigidly and securely bolted tgether, as shown. The reach comprises the rear rigid section et and the front hinged section 5. The front end of the section 1t is reduced and perforated, as shown at 6, while the rear end of the front section is bifurcated and perforated, as at 7, to embrace the reduced portion 6, the two being coupled orpivoted together by means of a pivot-pin S. Upon the rear end of the reach the seat-standard 9 is located, and the drivers seat 10 is supported thereby.
11 designates a V-shaped bail, formed of rod-iron, said bail at its angle portion being offset, as at 12, to embrace the front section 5 of the reach. The two diverging terminals of the bail extend beyond the front end of the reach and are bent downwardly at a right angle, terminating` in clevises 13, which conneet with a transverse evener-bar 14. Staples 15 are located in the upper side of the front reach-section 5, and a binding-strap 16, of wire of suitable gage, passes through one of the staples around and under the reach and is coiled about the V-shaped bail.
In operation the harrow is dragged along in the usual manner by the team, the harrow-sections being dragged over the ground and located under the reach. When the end of the field has been reached and it is desired to turn the barrow, it will be seen that the same maybe accomplished within the length of the harrow and team, by reason of the fact that the rear reach section and truck will swing to a right angle to the front section of the reach and follow the harrows around. In this manner it will be seen thatthe advantages accruing from a riding-harroW-such as saving the driver the fatigueof followingthereafter-are secured without any of the disadvantages arising from the increased length of the harrow, whereby unharrowed spaces are left at the ends of the field. It will be seen that the connection between the evenerbar and the front reach-section is rigid, and hence any movement upon the part of the bar is imparted to the reach, whereby the rear reach-section and truck are immediately influenced to follow a proper course.
Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. The combination, in a riding-harrow, of the axle carrying ground-wheels, the rear reachsection rigidly connected thereto, the front reach-section pivoted at its rear end to the front end of the rear section, the V-shaped bail secured at its angle to the front section and having its terminals downwardly bent, the evener-bar secured thereto, the harrowsection located under the reach, and the chains connecting the front end of the harrow and evener-bar, substantially as specified.
2. In a harrow, the combination, with the axle having the ground-wheels, the rear reachsection rigidly mounted on the axleand" reduced and perforated at its front end, of the front reacl1-seetion bifurcated at its rear end to embrace the rear reach-section, the pivot- IOO bolt connecting the two, the V-shaped bail Y offset at its angle to embrace the frontrezteh- ,section and at its front ends downwardly bent In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in 1o presenoe of two Witnesses.
