.essere es @ses .19, 191.4. -sere1-NQ-.S-6tw T0 @ZZ whom it may concern i Be i known .that l, GEORGE H. PALLADL Citizen ef ai@ United states, greening at` Allertominthe county ofWayne aiidState of Iowa, have invented ;certainxnew and. useful Improvements in *Loading Illttachments to Binders; and vI/dodeclare the following to be a full, clear,and y:exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable 'others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make andfuse the same. i i i The 4invention relates to 4an improvement in attachments to Vbinders and fthex object'fof the invention is to proyide a. .light',"i'neX pensive and durable attachment to ythe binder which willlreceive the slieavesdelivered ove'rthe deck by the discharge larms anddeposit themlon a wagon or ether freceiving vehicle accompanying .thembinder and located Lon ythe deck yside ,thereof some distance :tromthefsafme,the arrangement effecting a .quickland direct `loading'of the sheaves. i

' llith the aboveobject in ,view the invention consistsV essentially in the arrangement and constructionof parts hereinafter more particularly described and laterpointed put inv the Iappended claims;l i

` Figurel represents a plan view of myattachinent as applied' .on aybinder, thewiew also showing a portion of-a' tractionengine and a wagon. F ig. 2 representsgairear view of the attachment and thepbinderland a portion oit the accompanying wagon.` Fig. 3 represents .a detailwside vview, of apertionvof the binder'decki'iand the attachment withltlfle lingers in the normal or inactive position. t

Fig. e represents an enlarged detail perspective View of the `joint 'formed between the forks and the fingers.

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

1 represents a binder of which 2 is the frame, 3 the bull wheel, t the deck, 5 the binder attachment presenting the discharge arms 6, 7 the tongue and 8 the shield, all these parts being of ordinary construction 'and as customarily found in machines of this class.

9 representsmy loading attachment which is connected to the binder frameon the deck side and is now described in detail.

10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 represent a series of similar slightly curved parallel arms having their inner ends permanently secured by suitable yrivets or bolts 15 to the under side of the deck and.restingapproximately inidway'oftheir length on asupporting bar 16 carriedby pair of ` braces 17 and 18 eXtendmg outwardly vrfrom suitable vhangers or brackets 19 fastened to the binder frame.

The innerends of the arms( are slidably mounted'yon a channel iron bar`20 in turn carried by anangle iron'Ql, theangleiron bemg'carried-by'A end posts @which are at presentpart oflthe' binder structure.

It 'is here eXplained that in binders ythe decks are shiftable and for this reasonxit is necessary toh'ave v'the arms slidably mounted on thebar 20 andthe barl'as thefarins yshift with the deck. The rear arm l0 is bent. upwardly slightly rmore than the ,rest as it vforms a guide for the heads of the sheaves passed l over the attachment.

df the shield 1.8,.thebody of the rod eXtendf ing outwardly overY the arms but parallel with the `same andbe'ing suspended by a 'tie rod-27V connected to thet binder attachment 5.

.The 4presser@ rod is .massed ,in .respect t0 arms such that the sheaves passed over the deck and discharged by the discharge arms'are forced outwardly over the arms being held on the arms in passage by the pressure rod. As each succeeding sheaf is passed over the deck it forces an advancing sheaf over the fingers, which ingers assume, owing to the'action of the springs, an upright position immediately after the sheaf is finally discharged.

In order to understand the advantage of the attachment it is explained that where it is used a wagon or other such vehicle 28 accompanies the binder, the wagon being attached toV a draft beam 29 secured to the back end of a traction engine represented at 30, the traction engine being utilized also to pull the binder. With this arrangement the sheaves are deposited directly onto the Wagon which when fully loaded can be dumped in any convenient way.

Although it forms no part of this invention l prefer that the wagon be unloaded, by dumping, that is by dropping the rear end and elevating the forward end. It is with a wagon of this kind that the advantage of the pivoted spring pressedngers is apparent. They allow the sheaves to be delivered well onto the wagon but each time a sheaf is deposited on the wagon they spring up so that they are entirely clear of the Wagon side. Accordingly vthe lingers are always clear ofthe wagon when it is to be dumped and will in no way interfere with its operation. ,f

l do not wish to be restricted in any way to the'precise manner in which the arms are attached to the deck or to the manner in which they are supported slidably on an under structure as various ways of accomplishing this could be readily suggested without the least departing from the spirit of the invention. Neither dol wish to be limited to the precise form of spring joint shown between the fingers and the forks, as various other mechanical arrangements could be readily suggested which would loperate to equal effect.

The principal feature of the invention resides not in the details of the construction butin the provision of an attachment which forms in .reality an extension of the deck whereby sheaves delivered from the deck can be deposited on an accompanying vehicle located at some distance from the deck.

What l claim as my invention is:

l. The combination with the deck of a binder, of a supplemental deck secured to and extending laterally from the aforesaid deck, and a fixed supporting bar carried by the binder frame upon which the supplemental deck rests slidably.

2. The combination with the deck of a binder, of a series of outstanding arms secured thereto and extending laterally therefrom, and a fixed horizontally disposed supporting bar VVcarried by the binder frame upon which said arms rest in slidablek relation.

. 3. .The combination with the deck of a binder, of a supplemental deck secured to and extending laterally from the aforesaid deck, a fixed supporting bar carried by the binder frame upon which said supplemental deck rests slidably, and a pressure rod overlying the supplemental deck to retain the same in contact with the supporting bar when the machine is in operation.

let. rl`he combination with the deck of a binder and the shield thereover, of a series of y outstanding arms extending laterally from said deck and secured thereto at their inner ends, a series of upright spring pressed fingers located at the outerends of the arms, a pressure rod overhanging the arms, and means carried by the binder frame upon which said arms rest in slidable relation.

5. The combination with thev deckof a binder, of an linner supplemental deck section secured to and projecting laterally from the aforesaid deck, an outer laterally swing` ing supplemental deck section hinged to and rising from the outer end of the inner section, spring means normally retaining the outer section in substantially upright position, and stop means carried by one of said sections to limit the outward movement of the outer laterally swinging section.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
