COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cultivator Shares.
We, GEORGE STRICKLAND, of 22 Stanley Street, Doncaster, in the County of
York, Mechanic, and HERBERT HAILEY, of Great Wymondley, Stevenage, in
the County of Hertford, Farmer and Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to shares for steam and other cultivators and especially to
that class of share in which a blade is adapted to cover the front of the tine, the
socket for attaching the share to the tine being on the rear or under side of the
said blade.
•
According to the said invention the blade is made detachable from the socket
and is made of corresponding shape on both sides and also at both ends so that as
the blade wears it may be turned over and also turned end for end so as to present
fresh edges to the ground.
The blade may be attached to the socket by bolts, keys or other desirable
means.
To enable our invention to be fully understood we will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the foot of a cultivator tine having our improved
share applied thereto, and
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
Figure 3 is an end elevation of the share and
Figure is a section on the line x, x Figure 1.
a is the cultivator tine or leg, 6 the socket portion of the share which fits onto
the tine and c the blade which is carried upon a bed & formed integral with the
socket b, the said bed being shaped to fit the surface of the blade which as shewn
in the drawing is provided with a central rib e on each face. f,fare bolts which
serve to secure the blade to the socket.

page_text: The two faces of the blade being of similar shape, as also are the two ends, it
follows that the blade after having become worn at one end may be reversed, and
also that, after one face is worn, the blade may be turned over to expose the other
face. Furthermore, if the blade becomes broken it can be replaced without
necessitating the renewal of the socket portion of the share by taking out the
bolts f, f.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
(1.) A cultivator share of the kind described having the blade portion removable 1
from the socket portion substantially as, and for the purpose, described.
(2.) The manufacture and use of cultivator shares, substantially as hereinbefore
described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
