PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Cultivators.
I, JOHN PITT BAYLY, of 18 Fulham Place, Paddington, in the County of
London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communi-
cation to me from abroad by Charles Anderson, Lars Berg, Charles Gustafson,
Magnus Sangren, all of Rockford, Illinois, U.S.A. Gentlemen,) to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct a cultivator-shovel provided with
laterally-extending wings, a mould-board, and a space between the wings and
mould-board.
By this invention a cultivator-tooth is made of sheet metal, and which has
laterally projecting wings on the same plane with the point of the shovel, the body
of the shovel uprising from the point of the shovel between the said wings. A
mould-board uprising from the said body portion and curved rearward, and a
suitable socket is provided for the handle.
The shovel is made from sheet metal, and from the point extend certain wings
on either side until they reach a certain point, when they extend rearward for a
short distance. The two points are on the same plane. From its point the centre
of the shovel rises to a point at which the mould-board curves rearward and
upward. To the rear side of the mould-board is rivetted a curved socket, and
which receives the shovel standard to which it is secured. By this construction of
a cultivator-shovel I am able to cut the weeds at any desired uniform depth, and
the mould-board will turn a greater portion of the soil. By the rise in the length-
wise centre of the shovel and the cut-away portion thereof the dirt will be turned
over and pulverized.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Cultivators.
I, JOHN PITT BAYLY, of 18 Fulham Place, Paddington, in the County of
London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a com-
munication to me from abroad by Charles Anderson, Lars Berg, Charles Gustafson,
and Magnus Sangren, all of Rockford, Illinois, U.S.A. Gentlemen,) and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to construct a cultivator-shovel provided with
laterally-extending wings, a mould-board, and a space between the wings and
mould-board.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is an isometrical representation of a shovel embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 shows a modification of my invention.
The shovel shown at Fig. 1 is made from sheet metal, and from the point 1
extend wings 2 on either side until they reach a point 3, when they extend rear-
ward for a short distance. The points 1 and 3 are all on the same plane. From
the point 1 the centre of the shovel rises to a point 4, and at which point the mould-
board 5 curves rearward and upward, as clearly shown. To the rear side of the
mould-board is riveted a curved socket 6, and which receives the shovel-standard 7,
to which it is secured. By this construction of a cultivator-shovel I am able to cut
P71

page_text: the weeds at any desired uniform depth, and the mould-board will turn a greater
portion of the soil. By the rise in the lengthwise centre of the shovel and the cut-
away portion thereof the dirt will be turned over and pulverized.
The shovel represented at Fig. 2 in the drawings is substantially the same as
Fig. 1, excepting the wings are of different length, and the wing 8 is nearly in a line
with the lengthwise direction of the shovel and turns down more abruptly, forming
a landside to the shovel. This shovel is secured to the standard in the same
manner as the shovel represented at Fig. 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
A. cultivator-tooth made from sheet-metal and having laterally-projecting wings
on the same plane with the point of the shovel, the body of the shovel uprising from
the point of the shovel between the said wings, a mould-board uprising from said
body portion and curved rearward, and a socket, substantially as set forth.
Dated this 3rd day of October 1891.
