GEORGE WILSON, OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM COMPANY, OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
MOWING-MACHINE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE WVILSoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mowing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to produce a foot and hand lift for the cutter bar, in which the foot lift can be used independent of the hand lift.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a partial plan view of a mowing machine showing the cutter bar side. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the cutter bar side of a mowing machine.
The mowing machine in the main is of an old construction, comprising the frame 1, Wheels 2, tongue 3, inner shoe 1, cutter bar 5, compensating lever 6, spring 7, chain 8 connecting the compensating lever with the bar 9 rising from the front end of the inner shoe, and the push bar 10 connecting the frame and the inner shoe 1. A projection 11 extends from the frame 1, and to it is pivoted a foot lever support 12 to the upper end of which is pivoted a foot lever arm 13. A bell crank 14E is pinned to the forward portion of the frame, and to one arm of this bell crank is connected a rod 15, the other end of this rod forms the pivot between the foot lever and its support at 16. The other arm of the bell crank has a connection with the bar 9 through the rocking bar 17, the rod 18 and chain 19. From the forward face of the foot lever support 12 extends a projection 20. A hand lever 21 has a pivotal connection with the projection 11, concentric with the pivot of the foot lever support 12. The projection 11 is formed with two steps 22 and 23 forming a stationary toothed segment with which a dog carried by the hand lever may engage. The thumb latch 24 operates the dog in the usual man- Specification of Letters Patent.

ner. The seat is intended to be supported by the bars 25, and is located so that the driver can reach the foot lever 13, also the hand lever 21.
The upper rear edge 26 of the foot lever support serves as a stop to the downward movement of the foot lever with respect to its support, but as the support is pivoted to the projection 11, a downward movement of the foot lever will rock its support and pull on the rod 15 which will rock the bell crank 14, and through its connection with the inner shoe, the inner shoe will be rocked, thereby tilting the cutter bar by raising its outer end.
By means of the hand lever 21, the foot lever support will be rocked until the dog engages the step 23 of the projection 11 which will pull on the rod 15 and raise the inner shoe t free of the ground for transportation.
The foot lever is only used in turning eorners or passing over obstructions, while the hand lever is employed to hold the inner shoe free of the ground.
I claim as my invention.
In a mowing machine the con'ibination of a main frame, supporting wheels for the frame, a stationary toothed segment, a hand lever, a dog supported by the hand lever and adapted to engage in the toothed segment, a foot lever pivoted concentric with and in the rear of the hand lever and having a por' tion in the path of movement of said hand lever, and means connected to the foot lever and for connection to the cutting apparatus.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE \VILSON.
