- the lower ends of the bars 67 are attached to brackets 70 at opposite sides of the frame 59. It will be obvious that the front end of the frame of each caterpillar is yieldingly held in its proper position for ordinary operation. Owing, however, to the arrangement and movability of the sleeves 68 the front oi'tion of each caterpillar is adapted for s ight upward and downward movement.
- Figure 11 illustrates diagrammatically an automatic mechanism for disengagin the clutch by whichhthe drive is taken o from the motor to operate the grading wheel 13, and the conveyer D.

'rme'rxon Genome momen,
To all whom t may concern."
Be it known that I, ERICH H. LICHTEN- nnno, am a citizen of the United States, residinfg nt Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and Stute of lfVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in vTraction Grading Machines, of which the following is a specification.
The improvements of this invention up pertain to power driven grading machines, and the rader embodying said improvements is er apted particularly for cutting out road beds for the laying of new roads, for ripping out and loading old macadam, when breaking up old roads. and generell f for grading purposes irrespective of roar con struction.
In addition to the excavating action of the machine, provisions are made for the elevetion und dumping of the excavated nieterinls onto u suitable conveyor designed to transfer the materials laterally from the grader into wagons, trucks, or curs.
The grader of this invention is ot' course designed primarily to reduce the cost oi grading by the elimination of hand labor, und with n view lo effecting the desired oo ject,` it is proposed by the present improvements to provide an especially designed ex eavnting wheel of novel construction ein bullying l'iccnlizu'ly formed :and :irl'nngcil cutting and breaking up elements. 'llic vntling und breaking np elements ure intended to perform their functions with n high degree of effectiveness end with the expense of :t minimum amount of power in their operation.
In the enrrmving out of the invention fnrlhermore` the grading or excuvzxtinpr wheel is supported for udpislment vertically to throw it into and ont of action. :ind to rcg nlutc the depth of excavation. A suitable ironie is therefore employed to carry seid grading wheel und an essential feature ol' novelty of the invention resides in utilizing gear or transmission devices for raising and lowering said frame and its supported grading Wheel, which geur devices are dual in their functioning because not only are they adapted to transmit nmvcinent required in spect to the elevating; and huivering olf tin! Wheel@ but they meintuin the freine against lateral siv y or :nov-ement oy u very rigid action. 'File seid gear d vices forni lateral sway or play preventing ineens for seid frame, not onli; in its vertical movement init such might tend to imported thereto in the digging or excevetingiittion of the exeeveting ineens of the grading vvlicei.
The grading machine of the invention is primarily supported upon caterpillar trae tion devices `und said devicesi are of un irnproved type involving movement limiting ineens for the caterpillar tread supportinff frame obvieting any tendency of the tread to dig in when encountering e, soft space in the uren, in procese of being graded.
Another feature of the invention resides in the peculiar construction and arranca:- ment of the lateral conveyer associated. with the 'grading wheel and ada. ted to carry oi' the materials excavated. rliis conveyor is one adapted to he reversed si as to extend in a right angniar direction from the ma rhino projecting from one side or the other according to predetermined adjustment, and dependent upon the requirements of the work` the grading of which is to be done.
This invention involves other details' of construction which will be understood upon reference to the following descriptions in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure l is a perspective View of one of the 'nucl-:ets carried by the grading wheel, slim.v g more particularly the detehabie weer piste provided as a part of the innen portion of the bnckct., to cooperate with the cars-sd liste Throiifibout this specification and in the similar reference characters refer fr parte.
assai in extremely large and com machines et' the type of this in .'ention there is provided a body somewhat in tbc form of a cal A, or similar enclosure.y in which are mounted the motor instrumen.- talities. driving connections leading off to the traction and excavating devices for the machine. Since in many respects the controilingand motor el iving mechanisms employed in this machine are of types conia. fragmentary View showing: a l Grading wheel and illustratingr ,.nicwhat herring-bone for- "mating buckets. and the igrment ol the digging: teeth inonly utilized in large power machines, such features nrc not illustrated in detail, and thebv will not bc so described because tlitt'crcnt types of operating motors, controlling mechanisms including clutch tlcvices, anti trains of fearing are contemplated to be ust-d within the purview of the invention.
Referring! to Figure l therefore it is merely notable that the cab contains a suitable motor l, const ituting a prime mover the .shaft ot' which connected to drive a large gear 3 bj.' means of a smaller gear 4. The gear I is carried by what` will be called a niain driving shaft. Vn said shaft being geared to various other shafts in a manner to En hcrcinaftcr generally set. forth. whereby.l to transmit power to different mechanisms ot' the machine. llxcmplifying the forcgoing` it iwill be noted 'that a lever G in the cab arranged handy for action by the operator standing adjacent. whereby to throw clutch mechanism, not illustrated, so as to turn shaft 7 in either of opposite directions. i
At its rear end the body of the machine supported upon a steering roller and :it its front end sa id body is supported upon two or more spaced caterpillars C. The movable treads of the caterpillars C are turned by suitable driving connections including a spirit-het chain which engages a sprocket wheel E). sce lhgurcs l and 8 to l0 inclusive. The sprocket, chain leads to a sprocket gear l0 upon it shaft ll. The, shaft Il is connected with thc shaft 12 by .suitable intermcrhing gears. and the shaft 1Q is similarly driven from the main shaft 5.
The gradini: or excavating wheel 13 is disposed at the front end ofV the machine, being carried by a frame t4 composed of spaced channels or fabricated in any suitable but substantial manner. The channels ot said traine forni its sides and are pivotally connected at l5 with the hotly of the machine. this connection allowing for an upward and downward movement of the. frame 14 to correspondinglyr control movement of' thtl grading wheel 13 supported hereby.
As seen best in Figures l and 5, a conveyer D is mounted so that a large portion thereof is snrroanded by thc structure of the excavating or grading wheel Eil., an end ol' the conreyer projecting iateraly from said 'wheel in sut-h a manner that materials carried olf by the ruiner@ maj.' disposed in wagons' driven alongside of the machine, in or trucks, or upon the 1ground, if the conditions permit.
The steering of the machine is controlled by the insrumentalitics illustrated in Figure 2, or any suitable .means for the purpose. These instmmentaiities include a shaft 16 geared so as to be operated from lilo the shaft 6. Another shaft 17 has a beveled gear 18 adapted to engage driving beveled gears 19 on the shaft 16. A conventional double clutch element 20 is shiftahle by means not illustrated to connect either one 0f the gears 19 with the shaft 16. Thus, when the latter is driven the shaft 17 may be operated in either direction and its .worm 21 is capable of turning the worm sector 22 in either direction, said sector being rigid on the spindle 23 projecting upwards from the oke in which the roller B is journaled.
e excavating wheel 13 is best seen in Figures 3 and 5. This wheel consists p rimarily of a air of rin 24 between which are arrange and to w ich are bolted each of a circulu'rly disposed series of buckets 25. The buckets 25 are of angular shape. or for purposes of this description they will be characterized as herring-bone shaped buckets. Said buckets therefore have angu lur'sliaped cutting edges and seid cutting edges become effective gradually in acting upon the surface to be cut` broken up, and excavated. Each bucket 25 is equipped with a series of diggingr teeth 26 and the digging teeth of one bucket are peculiarly arranged relatively to those of the next bucket by being staggered. The teeth of one bucket therefore enter the surface op erated on at points between the places where the teeth of the next succeeding bucket enter the surface, as will be obvious from Figure T ot the drawings. The structure in this respect is calculated of course to reduce the shock incident to entering of the cutting and digging elements into the surface being The method ot' suppe-.ting the grading wheel ie by providing suitable rollers 2T. see Figures l, 3, and 5, carried by transverse .shaftsV 28 of u length substantially the saine :is the width ot' the grading wheel. The shafts ure mounted in suitable hearings in brnckcts AL @muv of which ertcnd downwurds und sonic upwards* from the supporting.' l'runu li mi which the whe'cl ii! carried. .\t oppoiaic ends of the excai'utingf wheel lli und ut, thv upper inner hearingr the brackets 2U :irc of special form in that they are constructed with extensions 29, .secu hcst in Figures 3l und 4` which cxhensions are provided with toothed ect-tors 3f), the teeth of which are arranged iuialngous to thr` boues of u herring. for which reason said Sectors: will be hereinafter character izcd un herringbone sectors. Meshing with the sectors` fill :irc the herringbone pinions 31 carried Lf zi shaft 1%2 journaled on the main trame ot thc machine. 0n the shaft .32 is a large geur 33 meshing with a smaller gear 34 keyed to :i shaft 35 on which is fixed a worm wheel 36. The wheel 36 is engaged by a worm 37 on the shaft T previenely described. The shaf T ie adapted te be driven rerersely from the shaft 5 under the control of lever 6. 1t will be Seen therefore tha t"a raising or lowering movement may be imparted to the frame 14 su porting the grading wheel1 at the will of t e perator and by means of the lever 6. The use of the herring- bone gearing devices 30 and 31 provides not only drive gearing for the above purpose` but these gearing devices obviously iold the frame 14 absolutely rigid against lateral sway, and counteract the tendency of obstructions beneath the surface operated upon to force the excavating wheel and the frame laterally.
The imanner in which the buckets 25 are supported relatively to the rings 24 making up the frame Work of the grading wheel will be in Figure 3 which also illus trates how the teeth and cutting portions of the buckets gradually' ent/er the surface being operated upon. It is also notable that the material broken up, cut, and excavated by the buckets is kept in the buckets as they more upwards from their lowermost excavating position, by means of a curved plate 38 suitably supported by curved brackets 39, see. Figure 3, attached to the frame 14 and to supporting angle plates 40 attached in any suitable manner to certain of the brackets 29. those located at the rear upper p0rtion of the frame 14. The cham.: ls which compose the frame 14 hu ve transverse channels attached thereto as shown at 41 in Figure 3 and curved brackets 42 carried by said transverse channels support a conveyor drive shaft 43 Seen best in Figures B and 6. The conveyer operated by said shaft 43 is designated 44 and is of the endless belt type. The gearing for driving the conveyer 44 is shown heet in Figures 5 and (l and consiste of a double beveled gear 45 on a shaft 41". one end of which projects beyond one side of tluntrame 14. ,sce Figure 5, and carriee u sprocket geur 4T. sprocket chain lh, seen diugruinn'inticoIly in Figure l. con norte the sprocket. wheel 4T with a corresponding wheel on the main shuft 5. The drive therefore is tnkcn oll` the mein shaft :1 und communicated to thtA shaft 46 from which it is coniniunicatcd to the shaft 43 of the Convertir by means of the double beveled geur 45 which meshes with the beveled gear 45). On its cud opposite that carryingthe geant() the ehn t`t 43 has a sprocket wheel. 5() connected by a sprocket chain 51 with a. sprocket wheel on the roller shaft 53 :it the outer extremity of the conveyer 44. The inner roiler Shaft of the conveyor 44 is shown :it 54 in Figure 5. The manner in which the materials excavated and elevated h v the buckets 25 are disposed on the convey-er is Sccn best in Figure 3 and the action .it the conveyer in carrying olf said mate- Vrals is obvious.
ln V`Figure 6 there is illustrated by dott/ed lines a rearrangement of the gearing and conveyer parts such as takes place. when the conveyer is to project from the side of the machine opposite that in which 1t is shown in full lines in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 also aiiords a partial showing of the rear rangement, see dotted lines. The. rearrangement aforesaid involves merely removal of the bearing for the gear 45 and shiftin sanie a short distance to the left, and a sli ing through the excavator wheel of the whole conveyer 44 and its supporting parts and a redisposition of the shaft 43, as 'shown in dotted left adjustment of Fig. 6, so that Ill its gear 49 is disposed on the opposite side and in mesh with the other face of the beveled gear 45. The shaft 43 under these conditions is shifted to occupy the right dotted line position relative to the conveyer 44 in which they and the shaft are shown in Figure 6. v
In addition to the buckets 25 it will be seen that the rings 24 carry Aon their outer sides outwardly anddownwardly curving buckets 55, the action of which is to cut .i Obviously, a dilferent type of'driving mech anism might be employed in the above connection, the one suggested and diagrammatically illustrated in Figure 1 being really typical of such as may be used.
Referring to Figures 8 to 10 inclusive, the caterpillar will be seen to comprise a frame made up of spaced channel beams forming sides 59, at opposite ends of which are arranged the shafts on which are mounted the rollers 61 about which the caterpillar tread 62 operates. The front shaft 60 carries a large gear 63 meshing with a smaller gear 64 on a shaft 65 which forms a sort of rocker bearing for the whole caterpillar, said shaft passing through the sides of the caterpillar frame near the rear end portion of the latter. The shaft 65 is.sup ported by suitable brackets 66. The turning of the caterpillar tread is effected by operation of the gear 64 through the sprocket Achain 8 previously mentioned, which sprocket chain passes about the gear 9 fixed on the shaft 65, adjacent to the gear 64, all as seen best in Figures 8 to 10 inclusive; The front end portion of the frame of each caterpillar C is yieldingly supported by a spring equalizing device consisting of vertical bars 67 which are surrounded by flanged sleeves 68 engaged by springs 68a adapted to move up and down in brackets G9, seen best in Figure 10. The lower ends of the bars 67 are attached to brackets 70 at opposite sides of the frame 59. It will be obvious that the front end of the frame of each caterpillar is yieldingly held in its proper position for ordinary operation. Owing, however, to the arrangement and movability of the sleeves 68 the front oi'tion of each caterpillar is adapted for s ight upward and downward movement.
Where nearly filled sewer ditches or like soft spots are niet with in the movement of the machine the tendency of ordinary caterpillars is to dig in to said spots, and this tendency is avoided by the construction above set forth.
Figure 11 illustrates diagrammatically an automatic mechanism for disengagin the clutch by whichhthe drive is taken o from the motor to operate the grading wheel 13, and the conveyer D. llhe two conditions under which said means operates are these, namely, where in the turning of the Igrading wheel an obstruction is met with larger than can be. handled by the conveyer D, even though it might be elevated by the buckets 25, it is desirable that the operation of the wheel be stopped to prevent cloggin of the machine; second, in the event tiat during raising of the conveyer the maximum degree of elevation of the latter is reached stoppin of the movement of the conveyer upwar s is advantageous in order to avoid liability of breakage of parts.
The conveyer D is adapted to be raised and lowered by a cable 71, seen in Figures l and 5. It is connected with a bail 72 directly attached to the frame of the conveyor. The cable 71 leads over a pulley 73 on a ramelike. structure 74, thence over a pulley 75 at the upper portion of the cab A, then under a pulley 76 near the floorv of the cab back to a drum 76a on the shaft 15 adapted to he driven by a worm 77 on the shaft 78. The sliatty 7S may be driven from the shaft 16 by suitable means not shown, or from any othersource of power.
The clutch knockout mechanism, see Figures 11 and 12, consists ofa shaft 79 having thereon a series of feeler arms 80 projecting towards the buckets of the wheel 13l so that an unusuall large obstruction, say a, rock or a piece ofy asphalt, will strike said arms 80. Two arms 81 rigid on the shaft 79 project downwardly therefrom and are connected by a rod 82. A sin le arm 83 projects upwardly from one en offthe shaft 79. The arm 83 is connected by a cable 84 which leads to the clutolif lever 85 adjacent the motor 1. A second cable leads1 from one ofthe arms 81 to a point of connection with the frame of the con veyer I). Obviously an obstruction meetin an),v one or more of the `ieeler firms wi reise said arios and rock the shaft 79. In this manner a ull will be exerted on the cable Si and t e clutch automatically shifted to clutch diseiigaging position stop ping the drive mechanism by which the wheel 'i3 is actuated. Again, ii the drinn 76 is. being turned to raise tbe conveyor IL :it a certain point in euch raising movement, e puil will be exerted on the cable 86 and the shaft T9 rocked in n menner like that above described, with the seme result effect ed, namely, Stopping of the drive means by which the convey-er is being actuated.
No danger of injury to the conveyor or surrounding adjacent parte is thus likely.
The buckets Q5 are of peculiar construction in that eecb bucket embodiesV a detach-- able weer plate 25% said plete contacting with the curved plate :i8 which forms a somewhat drinn-like structure about Which the bucketsv revolve. The buckets 25 are. formed at their ends with lugs 25 to which the plates 25 are directl fastened in a substantial but a detachab e manner. Figure 13 shows clearly the detail bucket construction and also cci-tain additional lugs 25 for attaching tbc buckets to the rings 24.
