ABSTRACT:
A tapered adaptor (10) disposed at a free, leading end of a cultivator shank (S) is arranged to co-operate with a blocking member (27). The blocking member (27) defines forwardly facing abutment surfaces (28, 29). They engage a rear edge portion (54) of the socket (46) of a sweep when the sweep is subjected to a hard impact which would otherwise force the socket beyond the position required for a firm wedging frictional grip with the adaptor (10). Thus, the undesired displacement excessively beyond the required grip position is prevented to enable removal of the socket (46) on exchange of the sweep by a hammer blow. A retainer pin (32) is resiliently held in a transverse groove (31) by the nose (35, 36) of a pair of flat springs. Thus the free movement which might result in loss of the pin 32 is prevented while allowing relatively easy withdrawal of the pin when the sweep is to be knocked off the adaptor. Several alternative embodiments are mentioned. The preferred taper of the adaptor (10) and thus of the sleeve (46) amounts to an included angle of about 2.degree..
