page_text: Date of Application, 25th June, 1894
Complete Specification Left, 19th July. 1894-Accepted, 25th Aug., 1894
I, JAMES HAROLD HOWARD, of Britannia Iron Works, Bedford, in the County
of Bedford, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to plough shares and to the "necks" or parts of ploughs on
which the shares are fitted.
According to my invention I make a share in two or more parts each having a
socket to fit upon the "neck" picce which is suitably shaped to receive the separate
parts of the share. When the share is divided into two parts, the "neck" piece
first passed through the wing part of the share so as to leave the point of the
"neck" piece projecting. On this part of the "neck" piece the socket of the point
part of the share is placed and fastened in the usual way. I thus provide a simple
incans for renewing that part of the share most exposed to wear and at the same
time provide a very secure attachment of the divided share to the "neck " piece of
the plough. The shape of the sockets and the "neck" piece will vary according
to the kind of work for which the plough is intended.

Improvements in or connected with Plough Snares.
I, JAMES HAROLD HOWARD, of Britannia Iron Works, Bedford, Engineer,
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 plough-shares and to the "necks" or parts of ploughs
on which the shares are fitted.
According to my invention I make a share in two or more parts, each having a
socket to fit upon the "neck" piece which is suitably shaped to receive the separate
parts of the share. When the share is divided into two parts, the "neck" piece is first
passed through the wing part of the share so as to leave the point of the
piece projecting. On this part of the "neck" piece the point part of the share is
placed and fastened in the usual way.

"
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a plan view of a share constructed according to my invention and
fitted upon the neck or nose:
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 but shewing the point of the share detached
from the neck :
Figures 3 and 4 are sections on the lines 3-3 and 4-4 respectively of Figure 1;
and,
Figure 5 is a section on the line 5-5, Figure 1.
a, bare the wing and point portions respectively of my improved share, and c is.
the neck or nose upon which the share is fitted, the said neck or nose being of such

page_text: length that when the wing portion of the share, which has the socket extending quite
through it, is placed upon the said nose the front portion of the latter will project
as shewn in Figure 2 sufficiently to carry the point of the share which is adapted
to fit upon the front end of the said nose. Each part of the share may be provided
">
with a pin hole d corresponding with a hole in the "neck to allow of the share
parts being secured by means of pins e, e
With the construction herein before described I provide a simple means for
removing that part of the share most exposed to wear and at the same time provide
a very secure attachment for the parts of the share.
It will be understood that the shape of the sockets and the "neck "and of the
share itself will vary according to the kind of plough and the work for which it is
intended.
Although in the drawing I have represented the share as being formed in two
parts it is to be understood that it can be divided into more than two parts, for
instance, in such shares as ordinarily have a coulter piece or a front cutting-piece
cast as part of the share, the part of the share carrying such coulter or cutting-piece
could be made separate from the point and back portion of the share.
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. A plough-share formed in two or more parts adapted to be fitted on a single
neck or nose, substantially as described.
2. The manufacture of plough-shares formed in two or more parts and adaptod
to fit upon a single neck or nose substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
