GRAlN-HARVESTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,062, dated February 22, 1887.
Application filed June 29, 1885. Serial No.1701-12. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, LA VERNE W. Norms, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Grain-Harvesters,which are fully set out in the annexed and following specification.
The purpose of this invention is to provide means for gathering the grain that is cut by the sickle of a grain harvester, and accumulating it upon the machine at the stubble end of the out without allowing it to fall prostrate, but retaining it upright on end, and adapted to be delivered to an automatic binder and bound in that position.
It comprises, first, a horizontal ledge or platform immediately in the rear of the sickle, constituting a support for the butts of the severed grain, and an upright or slightlydncl'ined wall rising from the rear edge of the said horizontal ledge or platform and sustaining the grain upright; second, mechanism in the nature of a reel for delivering the grain at the instant it is severed by the sickle against the upright or inclined wall, and for retaining it against the same while it is conveyed transversely stubbleward; third, conveying mechanism operating upon or through said upright wall to move the grain transversely stubbleward; fourth, a suitable receptacle in which the grain may be accumulated 011 end at the 'stubblew'ard end of the transverse conveying mechanism; fifth, the mechanisms for transmitting power from the drive-wheel to the several parts above named.
In the drawings, Figurel is a plan. Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is an inner side elevation. Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section of the gearing which drives the couveyer. Fig. 5 is a vertical section through the line at a", Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a detail plan of an alternative form of butt-carrier.
Ais a plank, which constitutes the grain- To its front edge is secured the finger-bar A, in which the sickle a has its bearing, in the usual manner. To the grain end of said plank A is secured. the grain-wheel bearing bracket A and to its stubble end is secured the bracket A which has the bearings for the gearing.
B is the drive-wheel. B is the main driving-gear run thereon.
B is the main driving-pinion; b its shaft. B is a bevel-gear on said shaft, and clutched thereto by the clutch b Bis a bevel gear-wheel, driven by the bevel gearwheel B and driving the train consisting of the gear-wheel B which is fixed on or clutched to the shaft of the bevel gear-wheel 13*, the intermediate gear-wheel, B and the gear-wheel B, which has formed as integral with it the bevel gear rim or wheel B and is provided with the central stud or spindle, b upon which is upheld the globe or ball I), to form the pivot of the ball-and-socket joint, the other member of which is hereinafter described.
G is the upright wall, against which the cut grain is lodged by the reel. It comprises the frame 0, consisting of the end posts, 0, c, and G, the upper bar, 0, and suitable diagonal braces, O, and the endless apron C ,consist'ing of the driving-roller 0 the idle-roller O, and the endless toothed belt 0. The frame 0 is rigidly secured to the plank A. The roller 0 is j ournaled in the upper bar, 0 and at the lower end its shaft 0', has rigid with it the bevel gear-wheel B, which faces the bevel gear-wheelB and meshes therewith, and is driven thereby, being supported in position and retained in mesh by the ball I), protruding into the cavity 1)" in the gear B,which thus constitutes the remaining member of the ball-andsocket joint above mentioned. The roller Cl is likewise jonrnaled in the upper bar, 0, and has its lower end suitably supported and journaled in a box on the plank A.
D is the divider, consisting of the lower bar, D, secured to the plank A, and the upper bar, D, extended up from the forward part of the lower bar and joined to the post 0 near its upper end, thus, in addition to its function as a divider,serving as a diagonal brace to secure the wall 0 and the lower bar, D, of the divider in proper relation to each other. The bar D is made to stand inclined, with its upper edge stubblcward, to adapt it to co-operate with the reel, in a manner and for a purpose hereinafter set forth.
E is the reel. Its shaft E is journaled in the bracket or main frame A in position extending obliquely upward, forward, and grainward, being actuated in that position by the endless screw E on the shaft 0 which also is journaled in the bracket A and actuated by the .bevel gear-wheel B, which engages and drives the bevel gear-wheel E on said shaft 0 To the upper inner bearing of the reel-shaft E is secured the cam E, of a familiar construction employed in reel-rakes, and to the protruding end of said shaft E is secured the collar E having the ears 6 0 between which the reelclips E are pivoted. arms E and E, forming an angle, and are pivoted near the said angle to the collar between the ears 0. The arms E have the earn-roll 6", adapted to the cam E, and the arms 13" have the socket e to receive the reelarm E, which are secured in said sockets by the set-screws c Said arms and sockets are cylindrical, for apurposehereinafter stated.
To the arms E, respectively, are secured the reel-bats E Said arms E are preferably shaped as illustrated, extending from the socket e a short distance, 6 in the direction of said socket, then a short distance, 0, at about a right angle to said direction, and then the remainder, E, of their length in a direction about parallel with the first portion. The bats E are secured on the outer portion, and are adapted to be set at any desired angle thereon, for a purpose hereinafter explained.
F is the grain-receptacle. It consists of'the space bounded by the delivery end of the conveyer, the floor-sheet F at the bottom, and the vertical sheath F, curved or deflected from the front around the stubble or drive wheel side and shielding the gearing from the straw.
To the gear-wheel B is secured the flange G, which revolves close above the plank A and floor-sheet F, and assists in carrying the grain around the end of the conveyer. A substitute for this flange is the reciprocating ribbed horizontal plate G, actuated by the crank-pin b on the intermediate gear-wheel ,B, and the link 11, secured to said crank-pin and to the said plate G. Said plate may be guided in direct bearings, or, as illustrated, provided.
with a rigid arm, G, and pivoted to the conveyer-frame at a suitable point to guide its motion in the desired direction. Its ribs are preferably serrated blades G, secured upon its upper surface and inclining rearward, and thereby adapted to carry the grain in their rearward movement and to withdraw forward under the grain without actuating it.
The endless-belt conveyer G is provided with suitable grain-carrying teeth, o which may be either fixed or trip teeth. At the lower edge the belt 0 is provided with buttcarrying teeth 9, preferably longer than the other teeth,c'". They may also be made to slope downward toward the plank A, which they overhang, approximately inclosing a triangle between themselves, the plank, and the canvas belt, and by their greater length than the teeth 0 giving the butts of the grain a Said clips have the more positive movement, and compensating for the detaining effect of the friction of said butts upon the fixed plank floor or platform A. Since the grain tends to accumulate toward the stubble end ofthe platform or ledge A, the wall 0 is preferably joined thereto along an oblique line, making said ledge in front of the said wall slightly wider at the stubble end than at the grain end.
The operation of the above-described mechanisms will for the most part be obvious, but may be more fully understood from the following:
The reel-bats, receiving their direction by the guiding action of the cam E, follow a course which may be understood by comparison of Figs. 1, 2, and 3, wherein the dotted lines so 00 00 indicate the projection upon the plane of view of the path of a point in said reel-bats. Said course may be described thus: The bat enters the standing grain with a downward and rearward movement, the direction of the bat being inclined upward from heel to point. It swings downward and rearward and becomes about horizontal as it passes over the sickle, and thence moves upward and slightly rearward, following the slope of the wall 0, the point rising faster than the heel, so that it stands sloping obliquely upward to the point somewhat above the middle of the height of the wall 0. It diverges from it rapidly, swinging back over its course, or forward with reference to the travel of the machinc,and reaches its initial position. As it sweeps down toward the sickle the point of the bat passes under the overhanging inclined upper bar, 1), of the divider D, and thus gathers with certainty all the grain inclosed by the divider, and is prevented from gathering any grain not so inclosed. As the bat passes over the sickle it forces the grain severed thereby directly back against the wall 0, where it is laid between the carrying-teeth of the endless conveyer, and by them retained in its approximately vertical position while being carried on end toward the receptacle F. The bat, by continuing its course upward from the sickle in direction approximately parallel with the wall 0, assists in retaining the grain thereon, and the bats are so arranged that before one has withdrawn from the vicinity of the wall another has passed the sickle and is rising in front of the said wall, so that the grain never escapes from their detaining pressure. When the grain is light the bats may be advantageously adjusted, so that they will pass closer to the sickle and to the conveyer G". This adj ustmentis effected by turning the reelarms E in their sockets c to cause the portion E to stand lower and farther back in that part of its course wherein it approaches the sickle and conveyer. A further adjustment to adapt the bat to strike the grain at the best angle, and also to affect its distance from the sickle, is effected by turning the bat on the arms E", and in order to allow this adjustment the bats may be secured to said arms by clips e, which encircle said arms, and may be clamped thereon by suitable clampscrews. The grain thus laid upon the conveyer is carried thereby standing on end, the butts resting on the ledge A. At the delivery end of the conveyer the carrying-teeth c withdraw from the grain as the endless belt passes around the carrying roller. The sheath F of the receptacle F checks the stubbleward movement and impetus of the grain, which is thereby deflected toward the rear, and having passed beyond the supporting-wall C, and having a slight rearward inclination, the grain tends to fall rearward, so that the heads would lean against the rear wall of the receptacle, or fall through its rift and lie prostrate. To prevent this, and to keep the grain upright in the receptacle, the butt-carrier G or G is provided and adapted, as described, to take the butts of the grain at the instant the carrying-teeth of the upright conveyer lose their grasp upon it, or, in case the revolving disk G is employed, to receive the butts before the grain passes off from the wall 0, and positively advance the butts around the end of the conveyer and rearward toward the rear of the receptacle, thus forestalling any tendency of the grain to fall, and keeping the butts as far advanced as the heads.
This device, whether in the form of the rotating or the reciprocating plate, is named the butt-carrier, and may be employed whatever the direction of movement to begiven to the grain,whether rearward, as illustrated, or in a different direction, as might be desirable in certain forms of construction.
