IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 3,864, dated December 19, 1844.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTHONY TAYLOR, of Greenford, in the county of Columbiana and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gast-Iron Flows, which is described as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings of the same, making' part of this specilication.

Figure l is a side elevation of the plow. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the false landbar I and cutter O. Fig. 3 is a section through the beam, showing the manner of fastening the neck ofthe plow'to the beam. section ot' a plate ot' iron forming the shoe H. Fig. 5 is a perspective View ot the socketpoint L.

p Similar letters in the several tlgures ret'er to corresponding parts.

The mold-board A ot' this plow is secured to the right handle in the usual manner, and to the beam B by a neck, G, which extends through a mortise formed in the beam, being secured therein by a screw and nut, by which the beam is raised and lowered to alter the draft ot' the plow, as may be required.

The landside D is secured to the share l)2 by a bolt passing through the front part ot the mold board, and through a bar welded or bolted to the landside and riveted on the out-l side, or in the most convenient manner. The other end of the iandside is attached to the left handle in the usual manner.

Two small rollers, E F, are attached to the landside, one in front and the other under the lower end of the handle. The one marked E, under the end oi' the handle, is arranged. in a vertical position in a mortise made in the landside, and turns in ears formed on the inside of the landside, and extends from the bottom of said landside to the top thereof, projecting about one-halt an inch beyond the outside of the landside. The object ot' this roller is to prevent friction by keeping the main body of the landside of the plow from touching the side ofthe furrow. The second roller, F, is arranged in a horizontal position inside the landside, and turns on the bottom of the furrow to prevent the lower edges ofthe landside and mold-board from touching the earth, except at their points, the space between their points and the roller being entirely free from contact with it. Both rollers may be provided with Scrapers to prevent the earth adhering to their surfaces.

Although the plow above described is composed ot` cast iron, yet by substituting a wrought-iron share with its attachments in place of the cast-iron share it can be made to possess all the advantages of a wrought-iron plow, in which case a shoe or covering, H, of boiler-iron is welded to the lower part of the cutter O ofthe wrough t-iron share D2, tor the purpose of strengthening and rendering the same more durable, which shoev projects about one-halt aninch on the landside ot' the cutter,

so as to t'orin a shoulder, s, against which the end of a false land-bar, I, rests, and consists of a plate of boiler-iron of the form represented of the landside ot' the plow, and is secured to the plow at its t'ront end by a hook, E, as represented in Fig. 2, and by dotted lines in Fig. l, which passes through a slot formed in the cutter O, and at its opposite end by a bolt and nut. When the above-mentioned wrought-iron shoe or covering H on the lower part ot' the cutter C and false. land-bar I become partially worn, they can be replaced at a triiiingexpense. When the point of the wrought-iron share becomes dull or worn from long use a socketpoint or shoe, L, is fitted thereto. It is composed of wrought-iron, and corresponds in form with the point ofthe plow, and has a socket or mortise made in it of the required form to admit said plow-point. This socket-point L is driven on the point ot the plow while in a heated state. What I claim as my invention, and which I desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The use ofthe shoe or socket-point L, made Witnesses EDM. MAHER, GHARLEs F. BEVERLY.`
