Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
In a farm implement including a main frame, front and rear gangs carried by said main frame, transport wheels pivotally mounted from said frame between said gangs, a double crank mechanism supporting each wheel from said main frame and being so constructed and arranged that when said implement are in transport position said wheels is positioned midway between said gangs and when said implement is in working position said wheels are positioned between said gangs but adjacent the forward portion of said rear gang to provide clearance for material acted upon by said front gang, said double crank mechanism comprising a first crank pivotally mounted on said frame and having one arm thereof pivotally mounting a second crank, one arm of said second crank rotatably supporting each wheel and the other arm of said second crank being pivotally connected to a link which is pivotally carried by said frame, and means connected to the other arm of said first crank for raising and lowering said wheel.
