JOHN IIEINEKE, OF SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF TWO-THIRDS TO MARTIN HEINEKE AND CHARLES HEINEKE, OF SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS.
STRAW-STACKER.
SPECIFICATION'forming part of Letters Patent No. 724,097, dated March 31, 1903.
Application led March 15| 1902. Serial No. 98,391. (No model.) I
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN HEINEKE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county ofSangamon and State of 5 Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Straw-Stackers, of which.
the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, forming part of this speci- Io fication. Y p
My invention relates to a straw-stacker combining both the pneumatic andv aproncarrier features heretofore used separately in such class of apparatus, the object of the in- 15 vention being to provide a construction wherein the pnenmatic'or blower feature is used to receive the straw as it is delivered from the threshing-machine, and the endless-apron feature is utilized to deliver the straw to the 2o stack without the great force incident to the use of a pneumatic stacker. v
My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims. l z5 Figure I is a perspective View of my improved stacker. Fig. II is a longitudinal sectional view of the outer end of the aproncarrier box. Fig. III is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken on line III III, Fig. IV. Fig. IV is a front elevation of the stacker. v
l designates the rear end of a threshingmachine provided with a casing 2, having a top 3, and within which a blower-housing 4 is mounted. The blower-housing 4 is pro- 3 5 vided with an eye5 to receive the straw asit is delivered from the threshing-machine and contains a blower-fan 6. The fan 6 is carried by a shaft 7, mounted in the housing 4, and on said shaft is a beveled pinion 8, that receives the driving engagement of the beveled pinion 9 on a driving-shaft l0, equipped with a drivin g-pulley 1l,that receives a powerbelt 12. On the shaft 10 is a second pulley I3, that receives a belt 14, which leads t0 a 45 pulley 15 on a shaft 16, mounted in bearings supported by the casing 2 (see Fig. IV) and having fixed thereto a beveled pinion 17.
18 designates a vertical blower-tube mounted upon the top 3 of the blower-housing casing and having communication with the interior of the blower-housing 4. This tube 18 is provided with an annular base-flange 19,
-t-hat is secured upon the top of said easing.
The box 2l is provided with a tubular neck 24, that is tted tothe vertical blower-tube 18 to rotate thereon. 65
25 designates a straw-receiving box thatis. pivotally connected to th`e swinging` box 21 by a shaft 26, bearing a roller 27, positioned within the side walls of said straw-receiving box. The straw-receiving box 25 is adapted 7o to be raised and lowered by swinging upon its pivotal shaft to position the outer end of said box at a desired elevation, so that the straw will be delivered out of the box to the stack.
28 designates elevating-cords that connect 75 the straw-receiving box to a Windlass 29, mounted in arms 30, projecting from the swinging box 2l.
3l is an endless apron mounted in the strawreceiving box 25 and arranged to travel on So the roller 27 at the inner end of said box and a roller 32 at the outer end of said box. The endless apron 31 is driven bya belt 33, mounted on a pulley 34, that is carried by the shaft 26 and receives power from a pulley 35 on a 85 shaft 36, that is geared to the upper face ofthe double gear-ring20 by a beveled pinion 37.
38 designates a series of retarding-ngers mounted on a cross-rod 39, rockinglymounted in the side walls of the straw-receiving box 5o' 25, the fingers 38 being adapted to rest by gravity upon the straw as it passes through the box, and thereby retard its delivery bythe endless apronwhenever it reaches said fingers in abnormal stream, so that it will be de- 95 livered to the stack in a uniform stream.
In the practical use of the stacker the blower-fan 6 and the endless apron 3l, that serve in unison to convey the straw from the threshing-machine to the stack, are caused roo to operate in uniformity with each other by the combined driving mechanism that is operated from the single drive-pulley 1l. The blower-tube 1S, which surmounts the blowerhousingft and through which the straw passes from said housing to the straw-receiving box 25, is of less area than the interior area of the straw-receiving box, as is clearly seen in Fig. III, and by reason of this fact the force of the straw entering said receiving-box is diminished as it passes thereinto, so that it will fall laterally onto the endless apron 3l instead of being blown through the box, and it is then conveyed solely and uniformly by said apron to the outer end of the box 25 to fall onto the stack with easy delivery. By this construction it will be seen that provision is made for the removal of straw from the threshing-machine by a blower as rapidly as it is presented to the stacker and in a manner to prevent choking of the stacker at the entrance thereof and inkwhich the straw is subsequently delivered without the objectionable force incident to that class ofstackers termed pneumatic and by which the straw is delivered forcibly with the expenditure of a blast that ejects it from the stacker in such manner as to render it a di'licult matter to control the delivery and properly build the stack.
I claim as my inventionl. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower, a straw-receiving box into which the straw is delivered by said blower, a mechanically-operated carrier adapted to con vey the straw through said box, and means for retarding the flow of straw through said receivingbox to cause it to be delivered from said box by said lnechanically-operated carrier, substantially as described.
2. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower, a straw-receiving box into which the straw is delivered by said blower, an endless carrier adapted to convey the straw through said box, and means for retarding the flow of straw through said receiving-box to cause it tofbe delivered from said box to said endless carrier, substantially as described.
3. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower having an outlet, a straw-receiving box having an interior area greater than the outlet from said blower, a mechanically-operated carrier adapted to convey the straw through said box, and means for retarding the iiow of straw through said receiving-box to cause it to be delivered from said box by said mechanically-operated carrier, substantially as described.
4. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower, an outlet tube surmounting said blower, a straw receiving box swlnglngly mounted on said tube, a mechanically-operated carrier adapted to convey the straw through said box, and means for retarding the flow of straw through said receiving-box to cause it to be delivered from said box by said mechanically-operated carrier, substantially as described.
5. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower, an outlet tube surmounting said blower, a swinging box mounted on said tube, a straw-receiving box pivotally supported by said swinging box, a mechanically-operated carrier adapted to convey the straw through said receiving-box, 'and means for retarding the flow of straw through said receiving-box to cause it to be delivered from said box by said mechanically-operated carrier, substantially as described.
6. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower, a mechanically-operated straw-conveyer adapted to receive thestraw from said blower, gear mechanism having connection in common to said blower and said mechanicallyoperated carrier to operate them in unison with each other, and means for retarding the How of straw through said receivingbox to cause it to be delivered from said box by said mechanically-operated carrier, substantially as described.
7. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower, an outlet-tu be having comm unication with said blower, a swinging box fitted to said outlet-tube, a straw-receivingr box carried by said swinging box, a traveling carrier arranged to operate in said straw-receiving box, agear-ring mounted on said outlet-tube, gearing whereby said blower and said gear-ring are operated, and gearing providing connection between said gear-ring and said traveling carrier, substantially as described.
8. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a blower,an outlet-tube having communication with said blower, a swinging box fitted to said outlet-tube, a straw-receiving box earried by said swinging box, a traveling carrier arranged to operate in said straw-receiving box, a double-faced gear-ring mounted on said outlet-tube, gearing whereby said blower and said gear-ring are operated, and gearing providing connection between said gear-ring and said traveling carrier, substantially as described.
