        Description: |  
| Abstract: 
The object of this invention is to produce a combination-clevis, and to attach the same to a plow-beam in such a manner that a doubletree and singletrees connected therewith and supported thereby will not drop down upon the heels of draft-animals hitched thereto whenever said animals turn at an angle with the plow-beam or materially lessen the draft thereon. 
Claim: 
The combination, with the series of devises herein shown and described, of a pair of draft-plates connected therewith by means of a pin, C2, and a double hook, B, for maintaining said series of devises in a substantially horizontal position, and thereby preventing a doubletree, G, and singletrees connected therewith from coming in contact with the heels of draft-animals. |
