PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to the Legs or Tines of Horse Hoes,
Cultivators, and similar Implements, and to Means for Securing
Shares thereon.
I, GEORGE HENRY CLARK, of Cromwell Cottage, Great Northern Street, Huntingdon,
in the county of Huntingdon, Foreman Smith, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the legs or tines of horse hoes, cultivators and similar
implements, and especially to those having steel blades or shares which are rivetted
onto the said legs.
The object of my invention is to provide means whereby the blades or shares can
be readily removed when worn and replaced by new ones.
According to my invention the tine is provided on its underside with a lug or tongue
which is adapted to enter a hole of corresponding shape in the blade or share, and
which is of sufficient length to extend some distance below the bottom of the latter.
In this lug or tongue is formed a holo adapted to receive a key or wedge which when
the blade or share is fitted onto the leg or tine is driven home thereby firmly holding
the blade or share in place. The said key or wedge is preferably adapted to be driven
from the toe end of the blade or share backwards so that when in use it will not be
liable to displacement.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to the Legs or Tines of Horse Hoes,
Cultivators, and similar Implements, and to Means for Securing
Shares thereon.
I, GEORGE HENRY CLARK of Cromwell Cottage, Great Northern Street, Huntingdon,
in the county of Huntingdon, Foreman Smith, 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:-
My invention relates to the legs or tines of horse hoes, cultivators and similar
implements, and especially to those having steel blades or shares which are rivetted
onto the said legs.
The object of my invention is to provide means whereby the blades or shares can
be readily removed when worn and replaced by new ones.
According to my invention the tine is provided on its underside with a lng or
tongue which is adapted to enter a hole of corresponding shape in the blade or share,
and which is of sufficient length to extend some distance below the bottom of the
latter. In this lug or tongue is formed a hole adapted to receive a key or wedge
which when the blade or share is fitted onto the leg or tine is driven home thereby
firmly holding the blade or share in place.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe how it can
be carried into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in section of a cultivator-tine and share secured
together according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a plan of the underside of the same.
Figure 3 is a detached side elevation of the leg or tine, and
Figure 4 is an underside plan view of the share.

page_text: Similar letters in all the figures indicate similar parts.
a is the leg or tine and 6 is the lug or tongue with which I provide its underside;
c is the hole of corresponding shape which I form in the blade or share d through
which hole the tongue is adapted to pass, the tongue being of sufficient length to
extend some distance below the bottom of the blade or share as shown.
e is the hole in the lug or tongue b, the said hole being intended to receive a key or
wedge f
In order to secure or connect the leg or tine to its blade or share it is only necessary
to pass the tongue b of the tine a figure 3, through the hole c in the share d figure 4
and then to drive the key or wedge into the hole e in the tongue b, as shewn in
figures 1 and 2 this being preferably done as illustrated in the drawing from the toe
end of the share backwards, so that the share shall not be liable to displacement when
the implement is in use. When it is required to remove a worn share this can
obviously be easily and quickly effected by simply knocking out the key or wedge f
and the share can then be replaced by a new one which is secured in the manner
already described.
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.
1. The described means of securing blades or shares to the legs or tines of horse
hoes, cultivators and similar implements by forming a lug or tongue on the leg or
tine adapted to enter a hole in the blade or share and to receive a key or wedge
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2. Horse hoe, cultivator and similar legs or tines having shares secured thereto as
herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
3. Providing the legs or tines of horse hoes, cultivators and similar implements
with a lug or tongue as and for the purpose herein before described and illustrated
in figure 3 of the accompanying drawing.
4. Providing the blades or shears of horse hoes, cultivators and similar implements
with a hole adapted to receive a lug or tongue on the leg or tine substantially as and
for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated in figure 4 of the accompanying
drawing.
