BUTTING ATTACHMENT FOR HARVESTERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,397, dated June 7, 1887. Application filed May 5, i886. Seria1No.fl01,l05. (No moan.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OTIS B. COLCORD, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Greenville, in the county of Bond and State of Illinois,have
invented a new and useful Improvement in Batting Attachments for Harvesters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvementin butting attachments for harvesters; and it con- IO- sists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective I5 view of a portion of a harvesting-machine pro vided with myimprovements. Fig. 2 is a front end elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 4. is an clevation of the reverse end from that shown in Fig. 2.
The object of my invention is to provide an attachment for harvcstirig-machines to even the butts or cut ends of the straws in a sheaf before feeding the same to the hindingarms 2 on the binder-head.
A represents the elevator of a harvestingmachine, and B represents the bindingtable, which projects from the rear upper end of the elevator and extends at about right angles This binding-table is provided with the slots 0, through which the packingarms pass tooperate upon the sheaf. These armsand other portions of the operating mechanism of the harvesting-machine are nothere shown nor more particularly described,as they are of the usual constructiomand form no part of my invention.
In the upper end of the elevator is journaled a transverse shaft, D, which carries the upper 0 end of the usual endless elevator-belt, E, the
function of which is to carry the grain from the cutting apparatus to the binding-table. This shaft is rotated by means of a pulley, F, which is attached to one end of the shaft, and
5 is connected with a suitable operating-shaft of the harvesting-machine by means of an endless belt, G. The opposite end of the shaft D has a crank-arm, H.
I represents a butting-board, which is hinged at one end to the rear upper side ofthe elevator.
This butting-board is thereby adapted to vibrate over one side of the binding-table and to swing inwardly thereon toward the center of the binding-table. The upper andlower edges of the butting-board are provided with horizontal inwardly-projeeting flanges K, which are made of sheet metal. From the outer side of the buttingboard projects an arm, L, which is provided with a series of openings, I, at its outer end.
M represents a pitman, which is composed of two sections, at and m, which are hinged together. The front end of the section an is attached to the crank H, in the usual manner, by means of a suitable wrist-pin, and the rear end of the section m is attached to the arm L by means of a downwardly-projecting pin or bolt, m which passes through one of the openings Z.
From the foregoing description it will be readily understood that the butting'board will be vibrated when the shaft D is rotated, and that the play or limit of movement of the butting-board may be regulated by adj nsting the pin or bolt m in the openings Z.
To the upper end of the elevator,on the side opposite the butting-board, is hinged a board, N, which is arranged on the upper side of the bindingtable on the side opposite the buttingboard. This arm or board N is provided with a spring, 0, which bears against its outer side and keeps it normally moved inwardly over the binding-table in the position shown in Fig. 1.
The operation of my invention is as follows: \Vhen the machine is in motion, the grain is elevated from the cutting apparatus by the carrier E and deposited upon the bindingtable, where it is gathered by the packing-arms to form sheaves in the usual manner. Before each sheaf is compressed to form a gavel, the butting-board I is moved inwardly over the binding-table by the rotation of the shaft D, and is thus caused to strike against the butts or cut ends of the straws, so as to force them lengthwise and arrange them on the same line,
thus squaring and evening the butt-end of the and disarranged, but prevents them from being forced too far across the face of the binding-table by the operation of the vibrating butting-board. Ihe function ofthe laterally-extending flanges K, with which the buttingboard is provided, is to prevent the butt or cut ends of the straws from being forced apart when the butting-board strikes them.
A butting attachment thus constructed is exceedingly cheap and simple, is very easily operated, is not likely to get out of order, and is thoroughly efficient and practical in operation.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. In a butting attachment for harvesters, the combination, with the elevator, of abinding-table whereon the grain is delivered, a vertical butt-board pivotally connected at one end to one side of the elevator and normally arranged flush with one edge of the binding-'ta' ble, a horizontal arm rigidly affixed to the buttboard and extending outwardly therefrom, a crank-shaft actuated by the elevating means, and a two-part pitman connected at one end with the crank-shaft by a wrist-pin and adjustably connected at its opposite end with the fixed arm on the butter, to thereby vary the movement of the latter, the sections of the pitman being connected by a vertical pivot-bolt,
as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a butting attachment for harvesters, the combination, with an elevator, of a binding-table whereon the grain is delivered, a vibrating butt-board pivotally connected to one side of the elevator and normally arranged flush with one edge of the table, a yielding vertical board located at the other edge of the table and pivoted at one end to the elevator independently of the butt-board, a spring connected to the outer side of the elevator and the yielding board, to normally hold the latter in an oblique position with relation to the buttboard, a horizontal arm affixed to the vibrating butt-board, a shaft actuated by the elevating means and having a crank at one end, and
a two-part pitman adj ustably connected at one end to the horizontal arm of the butt-board by a pivot-bolt and at its opposite end to the crank on the shaft by a Wrist-pin,the' two parts of the pitman being connected by a vertical pivot-bolt, as and for the purpose described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
OTIS B. COLCORD.
