DEFINITION

Classification: 172/162

(under subclass 161) Apparatus in which adjustment of the earth working means for alternate operation is accompanied by an adjustment of the diverse earth working element.

(1) Note. The adjustment of the diverse tool may comprise merely the operation of a latch or lock which holds the tool in adjusted position or may comprise the adjustment of the diverse tool in response to operation of a latch or lock to permit adjustment of the alternating implement.

(2) Note. This definition does not include apparatus in which the alternating implement and diverse tool are rigidly connected and adjusted as a unit. Nor does this definition include apparatus in which the diverse tool is freely mounted and may assume a different position upon reversal of the alternating implement due to altered ground resistance, gravity, etc.

(3) Note. The diverse tool is usually a jointer or colter.
