14,405. Brown, E. W. June 20. Cultivators and hoes.-In a horse-hoe, grubber, or the like, the cultivating-tools l are carried by one or more standards j on each side of the machine, each standard being carried by a straight rack h located in guides i and actuated by pinions g on an horizontal shaft f, so that the standards may be moved towards or away from the central plane of the machine in planes parallel thereto. The boxes or guides i are cut away to allow the pinions g to gear with the racks, some of which are above and some below the shaft f; a locking-screw i is provided in one of the guides i. All the racks may face downwards, and two shafts, geared together and operated by a single handle, may be provided with pinions to gear with the racks.
