Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 10, 1905.
Application filed July1,1903. Serial No. 163,872.
To (LU 7l7L077I/ it ntay concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES OSCAR WYMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Anolta, in the county of Anoka and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and Improved Harvester, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates particularly to a grain-harvester; and the prime object of the invention is to provide a four-wheeled frame and to drive all of the operative parts of the harvester and its binding mechanism equally from said wheels, thus giving the apparatus a more certain and stable base and providing a driving mechanism which will operate with uniform efficiency unaffected by inequalities in the ground over which the machine is being drawn and by turning of the machine from one side to the other.
A further feature of the invention lies in the arrangement of the platform and binderdeck with respect to the improved framing and in the arrangement of the reel with respect to said parts.
Various other features of major or minor importance are involved, and all will be fully set forth hereinafter.
This specification is an exact description of one example of the invention, while the claims define the actual scope thereof.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4:41: of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail section illustrating the adjustable finger-bar of the cutting mechanism. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective view of the rock-shaft and the arms thereof employed for raising the platform to regulate the height of the cut. Fig. 7 is an enlarged plan of the front-wheel mounting devices, and li ig. S is a section of one of the front-wheel hubs.
The main framing 10 may be of any desired construction and will not be herein specifically described. 11 indicates the rear supporting-wheels, which are fastened on an axle 12, sustaining the rear part of the frame. The front wheels 14, as best shown in Figs. 7 and 8. have their hubs 15 mounted to turn freely on sleeves 16, which are fastened rigidly to brackets 17 projecting upward from arms 18. Said arms are pivoted by bolts 19 (see Fig. 8) to a transverse bolster-like part 20, this part being rigidly connected with the frame 10 and lying below the same, as shown in Fig. 1. The hubs 15 are fastened at their outer ends to spindles 21, which turn loosely in the sleeves 16 and have universal connections 22 with the respective ends of a transverse shaft 23, this shaft extending over the frame member 20 immediately under the main frame 10. The arms 18 project forward and are pivotally connected at their front ends by a rod 24, which is also connected, by a pivot-pin 25, with the tongue 26, to which the team is hitched. This tongue extends rearward to the before-mentioned frame member 20 and is mounted to swing thereon by means of a pin 27, as best shown in Fig. 7. As the vehicle is drawn over the ground the rotation of the wheels 14 is transmitted, through the parts 21 and 22, to the shaft 23, and as the pole 26 is turned from side to side to steer the vehicle the wheels 14 are turned around the axes of the pins 19, the parts 20 and 23 remainingin their transverse position. Owing to the coincidence of the axes of the pins 19 and the universal joints 22 this turningof the wheels to turn the harvester does not affect the driving of the shaft 23.
Mounted on the frame 10 and extending longitudinally and centrally thereof throughout its length is the main shaft 28, this shaft being carried in boxes 29. (See Fig. 1.) On the shaft 23 is a sprocket-wheel or other form of gear 30, this gear being loose on the shaft and having means whereby as the shaft turns upon the forward movement of the harvester the gear is driven and as the shaft turns upon the rearward movement of the harvester said gear is not driven. These means may be of any desired sort and are here illustrated as a springpawl 31 on the gear and a ratchet 32, fastened to the shaft 23. The gear 30 is suitably connected with a short counter-shaft mounted in a box 33 at the front portion of the frame 10, soas to drive said shaft. 34: indicates a bevel-gear carried by said counter-shaft and in mesh with a similar gear 35 on the main shaft 28. Therefore the forward movement of the wheels 14 imparts a rotary movement to the shaft 28 independently of any sluing movement of the wheels incident to the turning of the harvester.
The rear wheels 11 are also utilized to drive the main shaft 28, and this is effected by a l form is driven by a chain 64, passing over a gear 36 on the shaft 12, such gear coacting with a pawl 37 and ratchet 38, similar to the parts 31 and 32, before described. The gear 36 is, in connection with a counter-shaft, carried in a box 39, and said counter-shaft transmits its movement to the main shaft 28 through the movement of gears 40 and 41, fastened, respectively, to the counter-shaft and the shaft 28 and intermeshed with each other. By this arrangement each of the four wheels on which the harvester is mounted exerts its influence equally on the main shaft 28, driving said shaft from each end, and thus insuring a motion of the shaft the regularity of which will not be disturbed either by unevenness in the surface over which the har vester is drawn or by the turning or other similar movements thereof.
Mounted on the frame 10 at approximately the middle thereof is a boxing or casing 42, about which the binding mechanism is grouped. Since this mechanism forms no part of my invention, it will not be here illustrated or described. In Fig. 4 the gear 43 may be taken as the driving element or prime mover of this group of mechanism. 44 indicates the binder-deck, and 45 the grain-elevator frame and apron. These parts 44 and 45 are sustained by two hangers 46 in the form of rods fastened in the box 42 and depending therefrom, the lower ends being turned laterally to form journals 47, loosely fitting in boxes 48, formed on or fastened to the elevator 45, whereby to mount the parts 44 and 45 to swing around the horizontal axes of said journals 47. 49 indicates the shaft on which the beforementioned gear 43 is fastened. Said shaft runs parallel with the shaft 28 and projects from the rear of the box 42 (see Fig. 1) and is driven from the shaft 28 by means of a spur-gear 50 on said shaft and a pinion 51 on the shaft 49. A gear 52, here shown as a sprocket, is fastened to the shaft 49 just rearward of the box 42, and a chain 53 passing over this wheel extends downward to a similar gear 54 on the shaft'55 0f the upper roller 56 of the elevator-apron. By this means the elevator-apron is driven.
The outer or free end of the elevator 45 is sustained by two vertically-extending rods 57,
which extend upward through the box 42 and are respectively connected with the arms 58 of a rock-shaft 59, extending longitudinally of the machine and suitably mounted on said box 42. This rock-shaft has a hand-lever 60 attached thereto, and said lever is furnished with spring-pawl devices 61, coacting with a toothed quadrant 62, which parts are of the usual construction. By operating said rockshaft 59 the rods 57 may be raised or lowered, and thus the elevation of the outer end of the elevator 45 may be adjusted at will. A platform 63 ispivotally mounted on the outer end of the elevator 45, and the apron of the platsprocket-wheel 65 at the outer end of the platform and over a sprocket -'wheel 66 at the outer end of the elevator. Said sprocketwheel '66 is fastened on the axis of the outer roller of the elevator 45, and this roller is driven by a sprocket-chain 67, which passes over a sprocket-wheel 68 at the outer end of the elevator inward around a sprocket-wheel 69 on the before-mentioned shaft 55 of the roller 56. (See Fig. 4.) By this system of gearing the platform and elevator-aprons are properly driven without interfering with the before-described adjustment of the elevator or of the adjustment of the platform, the devices for which will now be described. An elbowlever 70 is fulcrumed on the shaft 59 and has one end connected by a rope 71 or the like with the platform 63. The other arm of the lever 70 is provided with pawl devices 72, c0- acting with a toothed quadrant 73, by which the position of the lever 70 may be regulated at will. By means of this lever and the connection 71 the platform may be swung around the center of its mounting at the outer end of the elevator 45, so that the platform may be placed at any desired inclination to the horizontal, or, if desired, it may be raised to perpendicular position, in which position the platform will be wholly inactive. By operating the levers 60 and 70 the elevation of the platform from the ground may be regulated at will, so as to regulate the height of the cut which is being made. The devices for pivotally mounting the platform at its inner end are not material and have not been specifically described. It is sufficient that the platform be pivotally supported on the outer end of the elevator 45.
The cutting mechanism consists of a fingerbar 74, which is mounted to swing around a supporting-bar 75, attached to the platform 63. (See Figs. 1 and 5.)
76 indicates a hand-lever attached to the linger-bar 74 and which coacts with atoothed rack or quadrant 77, suitably supported on the framing of the platform. By means of this handlever 76 the inclination of the finger-bar to the horizontal may be regulated at will.
78 indicates the sickle-bar, which works with the finger-bar in the usual manner and is connected to a pitman 79, which extends inward and is joined to acrank-disk 80, mounted on the forward end of the axis of the becarries fast thereto a gear 85, here shown as a sprocket-wheel, and over the sprocket-wheel 85 Works a chain 86, which passes to a similar gear 87, fastened on the shaft 82. Said shaft 82 is driven by means of a sprocket-gear 88, having a chain 89 running over it and in turn driven from a sprocket-wheel 90, mounted on a shaft 100. The sprocket-wheel 90 is driven from a bevel-gear 101, which in turn takesits motion from a gear 102, fast on a shaft 103. This shaft 103 passes longitudinally of the machine forward from the before-mentioned gear 50 and is driven therefrom by a pinion 10%, fast to the shaft 103 and meshed with the spurgear 50 before described. By this train of gearing the shaft 84, carrying the reel, is continuously driven from the main shaft 28.
The reel is juxtaposed to the platform and operates therewith and with the cutter mechanism, according to the usual plan. Said reel comprises the outer transverse members or blades 105, pivotally joined to the radial arms 106, said arms being in turn pivoted to the shaft 84. To the outer series of arms 106 links 107 are connected, and these links extend inward and are pivotally joined to a runner 108, mounted on the shaft 84and having suitable devices for holding it in its outer or inner position. \Vhen the runner 108 is thrown outward, as in Fig. 2, the reel is distended and in operative adjustment, and when the runner is moved inward the outer members or blades 105 of the reel are folded snugly against the shaft, thus placing the reel in compact form, which greatly facilitates shipping and storing the same.
In order that the reel may be raised and lowered, I provide a lever 109, provided with a suitable thumb-latch adapted to engage a rack 110, said lever being attached to the shaft 84;, as shown in Fig. 1.
The use and operation of the invention will, it is thought, be fully understood from the foregoing by persons skilled in the art.
