Letters Patent No. 102,5

32, dated May 3, 1870.

IMPROVEMEN IN CORN-HARVESTER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part. of the same To Il whom it may concern:

Be it known that- I, MAnsHanL A. Gn'rzuxnasnn, ot' Polo, in the county of Ogle and State ot' Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvementin'Corn- Picking and Husking-liachiues; and I do hereby declare that the following is avi'uil, clear, and exact description thereof.

Figure 1 shows a top view of' my invention.

Figure 2 shows a side elevation ot' the same.

Like letters indicate like parts.

The nature of my invention relates to that class ot' machines which are used in picking` and lulskiugoorn, the power being applied h v means of one of the wheels supporting the machine, the said wheel having cogs set inside the rim of thcwheei, in which pinionwheels work, transmitting motion to the machinery.

As in Figure 1, A is one ot' the wheels supporting the machine, havingits inner rim set, with oogs, which impart motion to the shafts B and O by means-of pinion-wheels on theends of' the shafts, and working in the cogs. v

At the other end of the shaft B is the beveled pinion-wheel l), working in cogs set ou the under side oi' the. reel D. y The 'shaft'C is furnished with the grooved pulley c, the cog-wheel c', and, at the extremity, the beveled cog-wheel d.

E and tare inclined flanged cutting-rollers, having cog-wheels, 7i h, on the upper end, connecting them 'with each other. u

The roller vEhas also a beveled pinion, n, xed on the cog 7i, and works iu the beveled cog el on the extremity of the shaft O.

F is a spring-board set on the outside of thc rollers E and E. Y

l F1 is a sliding board leading to G, which is an inclined endless apron or carrier, supported and working upon a small roller under the shaft B, and supported at the upper cud by tbev shaft It, said shaft k being furnished with grooved pulley, li, over which the band a passes, connecting with the pulley on the shaft O, from which it receives its motion'.

F2 is another spring-board, set outside of the apron X is the husker, consisting ot' the endless apron or carrier H working ou the shaft C, and a slnallershalft. or rollend, at the rear ot' the machine, and the com bined rollers m' m ym. m, every other one being grooved,

the said rollers being sot direct-ly underneath the carrier H, which has a portion broken away in the drawing to show the working of the rollers, which are set in journal-boxcs, and are furnished ou the outer end with pinion-wheels working in gear with each, and r'eceived their motion from the wheel c' on the shaft C,

the wheel c' being geared in the pinion g on the end of the roller m.'

o and o is the spring and block set in the rear ol' the frame R, and working in the end ot' the'v trough S, and is operated by engaging with the piu `1J set in the shaitJ O, and revolving with the same.

Lis the drivel-s seat, and

T is the pole-supporter, perlbrated at equal' distances, so that the pole may be raised or lowered at pleasure, the whole machine being supporti-id upon the frame or bed R.

The operation of' the machine being substantially as follows:

\Vhen set in motion, thel large whecl A connnuni- Cates its mot-ion to the shafts B and C hy means ot' the pinion-wheels on t-he end of said shafts B and 0,' and working in gear with the cogs in the rim of the wheel A.

The shaft B transmits motion to the side-motion reel D by`aid of the beveled kpinion b in gea-r with the cogs on the under side of the reel. Y mmm The shaft G transmits motion to the apron H, the pulley c, cog c', and beveled cog ll, and also to vthe apron or carrier G, by means ot' the band a passing over the pulleyi on the short shalt la, said band, a, being crossed, so as togive a proper direction toward the. hnsker X.

The cog o' gives motion to the pinion g on the end of one ofthe rollers of the husker, which, in turn, gives motion to another pinion, on', which, being in gear with the pinions m m. m, causes the rollers to revolve.

The beveled cog .ll on the end oi' the shaftI O is geared with the pinion n on the cog-wheel h, which is in gear with the cog h', said cog-wheels 71. and hbcing arranged on the upper end of the Banged cutting-rollers E and E', and impart an upward motion to them.

The machine being thus in play, and driven through a field of corn, the operation will be about as follows:

The stalks of corn are caught between the guards j' f, while thc'armsof the reel D push them forward between the revolving cutters E and which out the stalk ott' just below the ear, and this is thrown on the sliding-board l1", and passes from thence to the carrier G, by which it is carried to the husker X, and drawn into the same between the apron H andthe combined rollers m' m m m, the aprons serving to holdV the ear down ou the rollers, by which-the husk is torn off. A

From the husker it is passed into the trough. S, and is forced forward by the action of the spring and block o o.

Having thus fully described Vthe construct-ion operation" of my improvement in corn-picking husking-maohines,

and and What: I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letteps Patent, is-

1. The spring and block o' and o, in'conuecton wit-h the pin p.

2. Tha combination of the rollers E and E', with the reel D, the husker X, and the spring and block o and o, with the piu p, each arranged in connectiopb with the other, as hereinbefore shown and desem e The above specification of my improvements in corupcking and huskng-machines signed this 23d day of December, 1869.
