Improvements relating to Harrows employed for Agricultural
Purposes.
I, EDWARD SLADE, of El Hassa, St. Martins, Jersey, Smith do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in harrows employed for agricultural
purposes, and has for its object to provide means whereby same may be used for
light work as well as heavy.
And in order that my invention may be the better understood, I have appended
the accompanying drawing, which shews an elevational view of a tooth or tine of
a harrow with my improvements adapted thereto.
In accordance with my invention I employ a piece of metal a of a shape corre-
sponding to that of an ordinary tooth or tine, but smaller in size. To allow of the
tooth or tine a being secured to the larger tooth or tine b, the former is provided
with a screw threaded recess a', into which takes the male screw threaded end c¹ of
the shank or stem c of the tine b.
The above referred to tooth or tine a serves a two fold function, viz. :-by its
use the ordinary nut provided for securing the larger teeth or tines 6 to the harrow
framing, can be dispensed with; and, also, when the harrow is to be employed for
light work, it is only necessary to turn same over, when the teeth or tines a come
into operation; and, as these are smaller in size, than the ordinary teeth or tines,
they will not penetrate so far into the ground as the latter.
My improvements can be adapted to all classes of existing harrows for agricultural
purposes, but chiefly to the class of harrow known as the zig-zag.

Improvements relating to Harrows employed for Agricultural
Purposes.
I, EDWARD SLADE, of El Hassa, St. Martins, Jersey, 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 improvements in harrows employed for agricultural
purposes, and has for its object to provide means whereby same may be used for
light work as well as heavy.
And in order that my invention may be the better understood, reference is made
to the drawing, accompanying my Provisional Specification, which shews an
elevational view of a tooth or tine of a harrow with my improvements adapted
thereto.
In accordance with my invention I employ a piece of metal a of a shape corre-
sponding to that of an ordinary tooth or tine, but smaller in size. To allow of said
tooth or tine a being secured to the larger tooth or tine b, the former is provided

page_text: with a screw threaded recess a¹ into which takes the male screw threaded end e¹ of
the shank or stem c of the tine b.
The above referred to tooth or tine a serves a two fold function, viz. :-by its
use the ordinary nut provided for securing the larger teeth or tines 6 to the harrow
framing, can be dispensed with; and, also, when the harrow is to be employed for
light work, it is only necessary to turn same over, when the teeth or tines a come
into operation; and, as these are smaller in size, they will not penetrate so far into
the ground as the ordinary teeth or tines.
My improvements can be adapted to all classes of existing harrows for agricultural
purposes, but chiefly to the class of harrow known as the zig-zag.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In barrows for agricultural purposes, the employment of the combination put and
tooth or tine a, substantially as, and for the purposes herein set forth, and shewn in
the drawing accompanying my Provisional Specification.
Dated this 25th day of July 1895.
