No. 30972.—2nd March, 1912.—FRANK ALVIN STANDEN, of St. Ives, Huntingdon, England, Manager. Improvements in or relating to cultivators and the like.
Extract from Specification.—According to this invention, the tines are pivotally mounted upon the wheel-axle shaft, and are provided with extensions beyond their pivots, which extensions engage with springs through the medium of a transverse member or bar that can be moved against the said springs to vary the angle or pitch of the tines. The said bar is operated by a hand-lever, which is centrally arranged for the purpose of obtaining a more uniform adjustment of the tines than heretofore. This centrally arranged lever cooperates with a notched quadrant in the usual manner, the quadrant being situated on a central member of the machine-frame, which member is connected to the wheel axle or shaft. The other members of the machine-frame extend from the end of the central frame-member at the head or front of the machine to the ends or thereabouts of the wheel axle or shaft. The provision of this central member greatly strengthens the machine and prevents the wheel axle or shaft from being strained when the draughting pull thereon is excessive owing to the hard ground which the machine may encounter at times,
