2 Claims.
This. invention relates generally to vehicles and particularly to an earth working implement.
The main object of this invention is to provide a single machine by means of which leveling, grading, terracing and border building may be accomplished at a minimum cost and with a relatively small amount of labor and time and at the same time performing the work in a neat and accurate manner.
The second object is to provide a machine of the class described which can be converted for use in different types of operations without the use of special tools or requiring extra man power for the change.
The third object is to provide a machine which will perform the operations mentioned without the use of additional equipment or guess-work.
The fourth object is to make the device selfleveling and to make it possible to set the machine to produce a pre-determined transverse slope to the roadway or hold the same level and to maintain this transverse position automatically with any type of prime mover.
I accomplish these and other objects in the manner set forth in the following specification, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. l is a shortened side elevation of the device.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the device.
Fig. 3 is a rear end elevation showing the wheels on transversely level ground with the cutting blade set for level cutting.
Fig. 4 is similar to Fig. 3 but showing the supporting wheels on a hillside with the blade set to reduce the grade.
Fig. 5 is a vertical section taken along the line 5--5 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a vertical section taken along the line 6-6 in Fig. 1.
Like numbers of reference refer to the same or similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring in detail to the drawings, there is showna vehicle whose ground engaging wheels II) are mounted upon the oppositely turned crank ends H and I2 formed on the opposite ends of the axle I3 which is rockable in the bearings I4 secured on the sides l5, which are joined into an A frame by the ties I6 to I9 and the tubular head v 2 3-1 .1, pin 28' which passes'through the holes 29 in the plate 21'.
20 from which depend the forks 2I between which The holes 29 are formed in an arc whosecenter is a pin (not shown) which connects the members 26 and 21.
On top of the'head Zllis secured a gooseneck 34 between which and the tongue 22 is connected a hydraulic jack 30--A to which fluid is admitted from a pressure source mounted on the tractor.
By this arrangement the elevation of the head 20 is easily controlled.
0n the rear end of the side members I5 are the upright A frames 3I and 32 across the upper ends of which is mounted a shaft 33 from which is suspended a heavy weight 34 by means of the braced arms 35, one of which is secured to the shaft 33 by means of the set screw 36.
On the shaft 33 is secured a crank arm 31 which is connected to a rod 38 in which is placed a turn buckle 39. The lower end of the rod 38 is attached to a crank arm 40 which is secured on the axle l3.
It can be seen that since the weight 34 hangs vertically at all times, it tends to rotate the shaft in a direction which will compensate for changes in the transverse slope of the ground upon which the wheels l0 travel.
Between the wheels I0 and the head 20 are the flanged sections M which are joined by the gusset plates 42 and 43, through which extends a tubular housing 44 which is welded to the plates 42 and 43. Bearing bushings 45 receive the vertical pin 46 whose head 41 is welded to the top plate 48 of the scraper blade 49 having the usual cutting blade 50 attached thereto.
In the flanges 5| of the sections M are formed the holes 52 which can be brought into register with the holes 53 in the plate 48 and the bulldozer blade 49 held in a fixed relation to the length of the unit, by the pins 54.
It can be seen from the foregoing that since the position of the turn buckle 39 determines the setting of the cranks I I and 12 which control the transverse level of the members I5 and the attached blade 49, then any change in the transverse level of the roadway will, through the weight 34, produce a correcting tilt of th blade 49.
The depth of the cut is determined by the jack 3ll-A and the lateral movement of the dirt is controlled by the angular setting of the blade 49.
This construction makes it possible to use the device satisfactorily for any of the purposes set forth in the statement of the invention.
I claim:
1. An implement of the class described, including an elongated frame having a pulling hitch at one end, an axle at the rearward end of said frame, said axle having oppositely turned eccentric wheel spindles at its ends, a ground engaging wheel on each spindle, a crank arm on said axle whereby a limited rocking motion may be imparted to said axle, a pendulum arm on said frame, an adiiustab'le connection between said crank arm and said pendulum arm, a scraper blade supported by said frame and means for controlling the elevation of the pulling hitch.
2. An implement of the class described consisting of an elongated frame having a pulling hitch at one end, a scraper blade mounted between its ends, a pair of groundyengagi-ng wheels at the other end of said frame, said wheels having oppositely turned eccentric spindles on .a common shaft capable of limited rocking movement, a pendulum susp nded-pnsaid frame. and adjustable connections between said pendulum and axle whereby said blade will be caused to slope in a relation opposite to the transverse slope of said wheels.
