AN IMPROVED LINK AND TINE CHAIN HARROW
Year: 1885

page_text: I, PHILIP JOSEPH PARMITER of Harwood Farm, Ansty near Salisbury, Farmer
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED LINK AND TINE
CHAIN HARROW to be as follows:-
-
-
.
I claim the design and method of constructing the link A, by which mode of
construction the links can be hooked together, as shown in my drawings, so com-
pleting the harrow. The tine B is a simple continuation of the rod forming the
link, and works on the ground cutting the surface.
The tine can be made of any required length or angle to suit the work the
harrow is constructed to perform. The links can also be made with one or two
tines as required. The bow C can be turned under or over the link which can be
opened or contracted to any requred size. (D) ring to hold tine. That which
I particularly claim as my invention is 1st The mode of constructing the link A
as shown in the drawings. 2ndly The design and method of constructing the harrow
as shown in the drawings.

I PHILIP JOSEPH PARMITER of Harwood Farm Ansty near Salisbury, Farmer
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED LINK AND TINE
CHAIN HARROW and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
201
This invention is the invention of which the provisional specification was filed
on April 27 1885 and I wish to add nothing to my claim as I intended it to be
understood in that specification. I further wish it to be understood that I in no
way claim as my particular invention the principal of a flexible tooth or tine
harrow, as I am aware there are several forms; patented and at work. That which
I particularly claim as my invention is the particular mode of constructing the
link and harrows as hereafter discribed.
I claim as my particular invention the formation of the tine or tooth, marked B
in the drawings, so far as it is a continuation of the bow turned under the rod of
the link, not over, I further claim as my invention' the supporting ring D as
shown and applied to the harrows. The purpose of the ring is to give support to
the tine B and cut the surface of the ground when the harrow is used on its
back.
'
If the tine were formed by the bow being turned in any other direction to that
described and shown in my drawings it would not be supported by the ring D with
the same purpose, therefor this particular mode of construction is neccessary for
making my link and tine chain harrows.
I also claim as my particular invention the mode of constructing the link A with
the double bow C, this, double bow whilst allowing the links to be connected as
shown in the drawings, keeps the harrow sufficiently rigid to allow of its being
pulled out of the straight line thus enableing each tine to cut a fresh track. Therefor
I claim the double bow C as forming part of the link, made out of iron or steel
rod, to be my particular Invention as applied to link and tine chain harrows]
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1st The mode of constructing the link A with the particular parts, the bow and
tine B the double bow C and the supporting ring D, as before described and shown
in my drawings.
2ndly The mode of constructing the harrow by hooking the links together as
shown in my drawings.
