i Y schism- 312mg 002 72:
Be it known that 1', Annular F. Cnnsmn, a citizen of the United States, residing at llinnebizgo, in the county of aribault, inite of fiillll'lESOtil, have in'ventedcertain new and useful lmprovements in Traction- Engines; and I do hereby declare the following to be full, clear and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apper- '-'1' and the some.
inn ..tion relatesto new and useful improvements in traction engines for forming implements and the object of my invention is to provide it erection engine having drive wheel and so constructed that the engine may be employed either for plowing,-'-rnowing;, or as means for propelling a binder as desired A. further object of my invention is to provide a simple and eilicient steering mechanism for my improved engine.
lVith those and other objects in View, my invention will be more fully described, illustinted in the acconiponying drawings which show a. preferred embodiment of my device and then specifically pointed out 1n the claims iich at .CllGCl to and form n ilii'zifi of i a plies iqure l is. a top plan tron engine showlng the some unloved in connection with a binder.
s a side oievziuon oi the some. Big. elevation Fig. l 1s :1 fragmem "on plan showine: the traction engine nd detached.
in the draw which similar reference n'nn'iernls note corresponding parts throughout, 10 designates in general-the main frame of my traction engine which as shown, consists spaced side members ll'and 12 connected at their forward ends by a, be]? 12" and by a l3 and their rear ends by a back member 1 i one end of which is extended locfrond side member to form the book I cnilim of on mixiliiiry frame 15 consisting Kl sidc member 16 parallel to the sides 11 and l: and him" its forward portion diroofed inwcrdl at 17 and secured tothe rd and of the side member 12. Jonrsum ale bearings 13 carried by the ii, 12 and 15 is a drive shaft o which loosely mountoon the other on wheel 21.
i are specifically to the draw- Detnchably connected to the forward ends of the side members 11 and 17 of the'frame are the free ends of the rearwnrdly diverging arms 29 of a standard 23 which standard, extends forwardly and downwardly and terminates in a ball bearing member 24 engaged in a bearing socket 25 carried by the mar portion of the frame 26 of aconven tional form of binder 27, said socket being scoured to the frame at a point adjacent the bull wheel 28 of the binder.
Mounted upon the frame'is any preferred "form of explosive engine conventionally shown at 29 and having a crank-shaft 30 upon one end of which is mounted a fly wheel 31. A gear wheel 32 is keyed upon the shaft 19 and a train of reducing gears designated as it whole by the nmneral'83 conot between the crank shaft of the engine and the gear 32 to rotate-the shaft 1910 propel the device.
As a means for steeringthe" device I provided a. steering rod 34 one end of which is pivoted to the rear portion-of the frame of the binder as shown at 35 and the other end of which is provided with a, plurality of rnckteeth 36 adapted to mesh with the teeth of a, spur gear 37 keyed upon a vertical shaft 38 the upper end of which is provided with a hand wheel 39. The toothed end of this steering rod is passed through suitable guides iO-by means of which its teeth are held in engagement with the teeth of the gear and as will be readily seen any turning of the hand wheel will not through'the steering rod to swing the binder upon its bull wheel as a pivot.
Pivoted to the side member 11 of the frame is a hand lever 41 provided with r. locking pawl 42 coacting with n toothed segment as and a connecting rod ll is operiitively connected by one end to the lever 41 and by its other end to the upper rear p01 tion of frame of the binder. As will be readily seen the binder may be tilted by swinging the lever 41. y
In order to adapt my device for use in plowing or mowing I remove the standard 23 and position in the bearing 45 a shaft 45 provided with a, downwardly extending forked standard 46 between the lower ends of which is mounted a bearing wheel 47. The upper end of this shaft is mounted for rotation in the bearing 45 and secured to its upper end is a lever arm 48 adapted for attachment with the steering rodwzhich is dehave ,i
' raising and lowering the plow beams as shown. Y
Extending downwardly from the side member 17 of the frame intermediate its I length, is a bracket 52 in the lower end of which is journaled a shaft 53' upon one end of which is keyed a beveled gear 54 and upon the other end of which is keyed a disk 55 having an eccentric pin 56. Connected by one end to this bracket and extending transversely across the machine is a rod 57 the opposite end of which is connected to the shoe 58 of a cutter bar 59. This shoe is further supported in place by a draw bar 60 one end of which is pivotably connected to the shoe while the opposite end is connected to the forward end of the frame member 11. Reciprocally' mounted. in this cutter bar is the customary cutting blade '61 to the inner end of which is connected one end of a pitman rod 62 the other end of which is operatively connected to the cocentric pin 56. As a means for rotating the shaft 53 to actuate the mowing element I have provided a transversely extending shaft 63 which is journaled in suitable bearings carried by the frame and which is provided at one end with a gear 64 meshing with the gear 32 and at its other end with a bevel ear65 meshing with the bevel gear 54: of t e shaft 53. When the machineis to be employed for purposes other than mowing, the bracket 52 and the draw bar 60 are disconnected from the frame thus entirely.
removing the mower element from the machlne. p
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings, it will be apparent that I have provided a traction engme provided with plows-and a mowing element either of which may be rendered inoperative when desired, said engine being provided with a detachable guide wheel which may be replaced by a standard adapted to swivelly engage with'a binder whereby the engine may be'em loyed as-a propelling means for the bin er. It vzi ll ialso be apparent that I have provided a novel and efiicient steering mechanism for traction engines of the above described character.
It will of course be understood that minor changes in details of construction may be made if desired without in the slightest devention.
What I claim is I '1. The combination with a front and rear Wheeled frame, of a universal connection between the frames, means carried bythe rear frame for swinging the front frame horizontally and means carried by the rear frame for tilting the frame.
2. The combination with front andrear (frames, wheels supporting the frames," a
forwardly and downwardly curved standard at the front end of the rear frame, ball gree departing from the spirit of inand socket connection between the said standard and front frame, a steering rod rotatably mounted upon the rear frame and having a hand wheel, a'guide rod pivoted to the front frame and actuated by said steer-.-
ing rod whereby the front frame may be guided when advancing either. forwardlyforwardly and downwardly curved stand ard at thefront end of the rear frame, ball and socket connection a between the said with front and rear I standard and front frame, a steermg rod rotatably mounted upon the rear frame and having a handwheel, a. guide rod pivoted to the front frame 'and actuated by said steerin red, whereby the front frame may be gmded when advancing either forwardly or rearwardly, a motor on the rear frame and having gear connections with one of the wheels sup orting the same whereby the said frani es may be advanced in unison, and means carriedby the rear frame for tilting the front frame.
" In testimony whereof, I afiix my sig nd 10c vture, in presence of two witnesses.
