Description: |
Claim:
The object of the invention is to design a double harpoon horse hay-fork which will carry the hay close to the lifting ring or bracket and yet be provided with a lever, by which it may be operated with the least possible exertion and it consists, essentially, first, in jointing the lever for lifting the harpoon-points, so that it may be folded down out of the way of the car after the harpoon-points have been set; secondly, in connecting the harpoon-points to a crank-bar offset from the journals, which carry and connect it to the prongs of the fork. |
