Abstract

Abstract A SWEEP BLADE PLOW ASSEMBLY FOR TILLING THE SOIL UTILIZES V-SHAPE SWEEP BLADES OPERATING AT RELATIVELY SHALLOW DEPTHS BELOW THE EARTH''S SURFACE. THE SWEEP BLADES ARE CARRIED ON AND SUPPORTED BY A CENTRAL FRAME MEMBER AND SIDE FRAME MEMBERS PIVOTALLY ATTACHED TO THE CENTRAL MEMBER. THE DEPTH OF THE BLADE''S CUT IS CONTROLLED BY WHEELS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME MEMBERS, AND VERTICALLY PIVOTAL RELATIVE TO THE BLADE. THE WHEELS ON THE VARIOUS SECTIONS ARE INTERCONNECTED TO EACH OTHER AND TO A UNITARY CONTROL SWITCH FOR SIMULTANEOUS VERTICAL MOVEMENT. TURNBUCKLES USED IN THE INTERCONNECTION PERMIT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT EVEN WHEN ONE OR MORE OF THE PIVOTAL SIDE SECTIONS IS PIVOTED UPWARDLY INTO A VERTICAL INOPERATIVE POSITION. SECURED TO THE PLOW ASSEMBLY REAWARD OF THE BLADE PLOWS ARE TOOTHED DISCS ROTATABLY JOURNALED ON A POVOTAL SHAFT. D R A W I N G
