GRAIN REGISTE R AND SACKER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 457,283, dated August 4, 1891.
Application filed March 12,1890.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J on) LUKASZEVIG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ouster, in the countyof Portage and State of \Viscousin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grain Registers and Sackers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in grain seekers and registers; and it consists in certain novel features, which will be hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section thereof. Fig. 4 is detail view of the registering mechanism. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the devices for operating the said registering mechanism. Fig. 6 is a perspective detail view of the automatic trip mechanism, and Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the upper part of the same.
In carrying out my invention I employ an endless elevator A, of the usual or any preferred construction, which receives the grain from the thrashing-machine and conveys it upward and discharges it into the hopper B. The hopper B is supported in a frame C,which also supports the elevator and the register D, and the upper end of the elevator is provided with a spout E, which projects over into the hopper. The lower end or bottom of the hopper is open, and is normally covered by a valve or vibrating plate F, which is provided at one edge with the trunnions or shaft G, journaled in the sides of a funnel or bagholder II, as shown. The funnel or bag-holder ll is provided at its lower end on opposite sides with the spring supporting-arms I, upon which the bag is hung while being filled.
Power is imparted to the several parts of my machine by means of a suitable belt, which is driven byany desired motor, and the bandpulley J, around which the said belt runs and which is secured on the end of a driving-shaft K, which is journaled transversely in the frame C and is provided at the end opposite the band-pulley J with a driving-wheel L and sprocket-pinion M. A belt Serial No. 343,592. (No model.)
N runs around the driving vheel L and a pulley O at the lower end of the elevator, so as to transmit motion to the 0nd belt P runs around the driving-wheel L and a pulley Q on the end of a transverse shaft R, which is journaled transversely in the frame 0 above the hopper, as clearly shown. This shaft R is provided on its inner shown, the bar being secured on the top of end of this vertiblades \V, shaped secured upon it.
is connected by a the hopper, and the lower cal shaft has a series of like blades of a propeller,
The sprocket-pinion M chain X with a sprocketwheel Y, mounted on the side of the elevator near the upper end of the same, and a pitman Z has one end pivoted to the side of the said sprocket-wheel. The free end of this pitman Z is pivoted to the upper end of a lever a, which is fulcrumed at an intermediate point of its length to an arm I), projecting from the side of the elevator. The lower end of this lever a is pivoted to the front end of a follower or pushbar 0, the front end of which'fit-s in a groove d in the upper side of a guide e, secured on the side of the elevator, and this guide also supports the front end of aplungerf, the rear end of which is secured to and supported by a spring g, the shaft G and has one end bearing against the under side of an arm h, projecting from the said shaft. The front end of the plunger f is provided with lateral pins 1, which on gage under the inwardly-projecting lips j on 5 the side walls of the grooved and are adapted to rise through the notches k, and thus permit the plunger to ride backward over theguide to its initial position.
guide by a bail or loop Z, secured on the upperside of the guide and fitting over the plunger, and when it has reached its initial position it is thrown .into engagement with the elevator, and a sec- 55 and the center 65 which is coiled around the end of c The plunger is prevented from moving laterally from the [00 groove by a spring m, secured on the upper side of the guide ,.as clearly shown.
Upon the top of the supporting-frame is centrally pivoted on a trausverseprojecting pivot-pin 6 a tripdever 7, the rounded inner end 7 a of which normally rests upon the rounded upper end of the vertical shaft U. To the outer end of the lever 7 is pivoted the upper end of a rod 8, which extends down through a guide 9 and has an eye 8 on one side near its lower end. Through this eye runs the inner end of the wire trigger 0', the coiled center of which is pivotally secured on a pin 10. The triggeron the inner side of its pivotal point slides in a vertical guide-slot 11 of a pillar 12, and a spiral spring 13, which encircles this pillar, holds the inner end of the trigger normally pressed up, thereby raising the rod8 and the outer end of theitriplever 7. The outer part of the trigger is curved to extend over the free end of a latch 72, and to form a shoulder p, which extends beneath the said latch end, the lower extremity of the wire trigger being then curved 'outward. This latch h is rigidly secured to the projecting end of the shaft G, to which the vibrating plate F is secured. One end of the shaft G is provided with a crank-arm q, and this crank-arm is connected by a link or con nectingrod r with one end of a vibratory rod 5, which is fulcrumed on the frame 0 and has its frontend pivoted to a cut-0E in the end of the spout E.
The registering mechanism is secured upon the frame 0 adjacent to and in rear of the bag-holder, and on the upper side of the casing containing the registering-dial I mount a sliding rod to, which is normally thrown forward by a spring (I, and is provided with a depending arm to, which extends downward into the casing and has a pawl a; pivoted to its lower end, said pawl engaging a ratchet disk or dial y and rotating the said dial to register each half-bushel. Backward movement of this dial is prevented by a detent 2, which is secured within the casing and engages the teeth of the dial, as will be readily understood. A second dial 3 is mounted in the casing and is engaged by a pawl 4, carried by the dial y, so as to count the bushels by tens. In a similar manner any number of dials may be employed, andthe register thus adapted to count any quantity of grain.
In practice the machine is arranged for use with the valve F extending across the bottom of the hopper, and a sack or bag suspended from the arms I, as will be readily understood. The machine is then put in motion, and the grain will be carried up by the elevator and discharged into the hopper. The agitators or stirrers in the hopper will be continuously rotated, and the grain thus prevented from acmulating in the hopper to such an extent as to pack therein, as will be readily understood. The weight of the blades \V, together with the pressure of the spring 13, will keep the stirrer down until the grain piles up in the hopper under it, when the blades W, which are shaped like the blades of a'propeller, acting on the grain, cause the stirrer to rise, raising the vertical shaft U, which in turn presses up the inner end of the lever '7 against the tension of the spring 13, thereby disengaging the shoulder p of the spring-trigger from beneath the latch h, when the plate or valve F will fall and allow the grain to flow into the sack.
The downward movement of the latch causes the spring 9 to act on the plunger so as to throw the same forward, when its front end will fall into position to be engaged by the end of the follower. -The continued motion of the machine will then throw the plunger rearward against-the sliding bar it, and thus operate the register, so as to'indicate that one half-bushel has been let fall in thesack; This rearward movement of the plunger also causes the spring g to raise the latch h, thereby bringing the plate F up against the bottom of the hopper to hold another load of grain.
The downward movement of the plate F operates the cut-ofi': t in the end of the spout, so as to throw the same downward and prevent the continued flow of grain into the hopper. The upward movement of the plate F of course raises the cut-0E, so as to permit the grain to again flow into the hopper.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I have provided a very simple and efficient machine, by the use of which the grain will be conveyed directly from the thrashing-machine to the sacks, and the quantity accurately measured and registered.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
'1. The combination of th e cut-off for the hopper, the registering mechanism, the plunger having'its rear end connected with the cutolf and adapted to actuate the registering mechanism, the follower adapted to engage the front end of the said plunger, and mechanism for operating the said follower, as set forth.
2. The combination of the hopper, the vibrating plate F, having the latch h secured on the end of its shaft G, the sprocket-wheel Y, mechanism for rotating said wheel,the vibrating lever, a pitman connecting said lever with the sprocket-wheel, the follower pivoted to the lower end of the said lever, the plunger actuated by said follower and adapted to act on the registering mechanism, and the spring g, supporting the plunger f, coiled around the end of the shaft G and having its lower bent end bearing against the under side of the latch h, as set forth.
The combination of the hopper, the vibrating plate F, having the latch h secured on the end of its shaft G, the guide provided with a longitudinal groove, the plunger haw ing its front end playing in said groove, the spring g, supporting the plunger f and hav- IIO ing its lower bent end bearing against the under side of the latch 11-, the fellewer having its rear end playing in said groove and adapted to actuate the plunger, the bail secured on the guide and extending over the plunger, and the spring secured on the guide and adapted to throw the plunger into the groove therein, and the spring-actuated rod u, operating the register and arranged to be acted on by the plunger, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two wltnesses.
hi JOHN LUKASZEVIG.
