Scraper assembly
First Claim
1. A scraper assembly for a tillage disc comprising:
- a support;
an L-shaped scraper mount having an elongated arm sloping downwardly at an angle from the support toward the disc to be scraped, and a lateral extension at the upper end of the arm;
a scraper blade mounted on the arm at its lowermost end;
bearing means mounted on the support and rotatably receiving said extension for swinging movement of the arm toward and away from said disc;
spring tension adjusting means having an upstanding portion pivotally coupled at its lower end with said arm;
a compression spring coiled about said tension means and resting at its lower end on the support for yieldably biasing the blade against the disc; and
a bracket secured to the extension, said portion being pivotally coupled with the bracket,said tension means including an L-shaped bolt having an upright spring-receiving leg, presenting said portion, and a lateral bracket-receiving leg.

Abstract
For use with farm implements having tillage discs, there is provided a disc scraping assembly in which the swingable arm for supporting the scraper blade is provided with a hat section mount together with a compression spring to yieldably hold the blade against the disc. Alternate connections are provided between the arm and the tension means such as to selectively permit use of the assembly in connection with either of a pair of discs depending upon which direction the concave surface of the disc is facing in the implement. The blade is rotatably mounted on the arm through use of a dirt clearance slot which, in turn, releasably receives a pair of yokes freely rotatable on the arm and releasably interlocked with the blade. Removable cross pins in the arm cooperate with the yokes in preventing displacement of the scraper blade axially of the arm.

5. A scraper assembly for a tillage disc comprising:
-
a support; an arm mounted on the support; a disc-scraping blade; means attaching the blade to the arm including;
yoke means releasably interlocked with the blade and rotatably receiving the arm,said blade having a slot extending into one end of the blade and receiving the yoke means, said arm extending into the slot and through the yoke means, said yoke means including a pair of spaced wings traversing the slot and the arm, and a pair of pins traversing the arm, said pins and said wings being in interengagement for retaining the wings against axial displacement along the arm.
