HENRY C. VELIE, OF POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENTI IN HARVESTERS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,501, dated January 2, 1872.
To all lwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY G. VELIE, of Poughkeepsie, in the county of Dutchess and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Mowers and Reapers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specicatiom in which drawing- Figure l represents a plan or top view of my invention when arranged as a reaper. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same when arranged as a mower. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same when arranged as a reaper. Figs. 4 and 5 are details, which will be referre to as the description progresses.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to a direct-draft mowing-machine, which is so constructed that it can readily be converted in a reaper or in a side-draft mower. The shoe7 which is situated on the side ofthe drivingwheel of the machine, and which I designate as the inner shoe, is provided with a socket forming the bearing for the head of the dropper, and with another socket to form the bearing for the cut-oli', being actuated by the same foot-lever. Said inner shoe is also provided with a iiange to form the support for the reel-standard, and it is steadied in its position by a brace extending to one of the lugs which form the bearings for the draft-pole, said lugs being made to radiate from a tubular frame which supports the gearing, and which turns freely on the main axle of the machine in such a direction that the strain of the draftanimals has a tendency to turn said lugs upward, and thereby the friction of the shoes on the ground is reduced. The arm which supports the inner shoe is iitted into a socket in the frame, and it is connected to two levers, one of which serves to turn said arm for the purpose of raising the outer end of the cutterbar, While the other serves to raise the arm and with it the inner end of the cutter-bar, the arm which supports the outer shoe being provided With a swivel-joint, so that either end of the cutter-bar can be raised.
In the drawing, the letter A designates the frame of my machine, said frame being tubular and tted on the axle B so that it can freely turn thereon. On the axle B are mounted the wheels C C', and also a cog-wheel, D, which gears in a pinion, a, mounted on a shaft, l), that has its bearing in a bracket projecting from the tubular head, and from which the motion is transmitted to the cutter-bar by any suitable mechanism, such as generally employed for this purpose in mowers or reapers. From the tubular frame extends a projection, c, (shown detached in Figs. 4 and 5,) which is bored out to form a socket for an arm, E, to the outer end of which is secured the shoe F. In the side of the socket c is a slot, d, (see Fig. 4,) through which projects a pin, e, and to this pin is attached a handlever,f, so that by forcing back this hand-lever, the outer end of the arm and the shoe F attached thereto are raised from the ground. 0n the axle B next to the wheel C is hung a strap, i, provided with asocket, j, to receive an arm, Gr, to the outer end of which is secured the shoe H. The arm G is made in two sections, connected by a pivot, 7c, and by a pin, l, which moves in a slot in the inner section, so that the shoe II can rise and fall to a slight extent independent of said inner section ofthe arm G. This inner section turns in the socket of the strap i', being retained therein by a nut,
i', thus forming a swivel joint, the object of v which will be presently explained. The shoes F and H are connected by the finger-bar I, which is constructed in the usual manner, and on which rests the cutter-bar, that receives a rapid reciprocating motion from the cog-wheel D, as above stated. When it is desired to raise the inner shoeF so as to clear an obstruction, the hand-lever gis pressed back, and since the arm which supports the outer shoe'H is free to turn in the socket of the strap i, the shoe F can be raised While the shoe H remains on the ground. When the hand-lever F is pressed back the arm E turns in its socket, and the shoe H is raised from the ground while the shoe F is depressed, the operation of raising the shoe H being facilitated by the joint 7c l in the arm G, which allows of raising said shoe to acertain height without being obliged to lift the entire weight. From the tubular head A radiate two lugs or ears, m m', which form the bearings for the bolt or bolts a that connect the draft-pole K to said head. Said lugs in.
oline downward, (see Fig. 3,) so that by the strain of the draft animals a tendency is produced to turn the head A in the direction of the arrow marked near it in Fig. 3, and by these means the pressure exerted bythe shoes F H on the ground is diminished, and the for- Ward motion of the machine is materially facilitated. If my machine is to be used as a mower, it is rigged up as shown in Fig.2; but
if it is to be used as a reaper I attach to the shoe F an additional iingenbar, I', with a divider, H', as shown in Fig. l, and in this case the cutter-bar is placed in the position shown in this figure. 'lhe shoe F is provided with a socket, p', to form the bearing for the head r of the dropper M, and from this head extends an arm, s, which connects with a foot-lever, N, so that the dropper can be operated from the drivers seat. The outer end of the head y of the dropper has its bearing in a lug, s, projecting from the shoe H". The shoe F is also provided with a socket, t, to receive the gudgeon u of the cut-off O, and from this cutoff extends a lever, c, through a loop, w, secured to the dropper M in such a manner that when the dropper is let down the cut-oh" rises, and vice versa, both the dropper and guardbeing operated by one and the same foot-1ever N. When the cutting commences, the cutoff is. raised so that the cut grain collects thereon, and when a sufficient quantity of grain has gathered on the droppcr said dropper is lowered and the grain is lodged on the ground.
While the dropper is down the cutoff rises to i i receive the grain which is being cut during the time the dropper is lowered. On the shoe F is formed a flange, x, to which the Netstandard 1 is secured. This reel is constructed in the usual manner, and it receives its motion from a band-Wheel mounted on the axle B. When the machine is to be used as a mower the reelstandard can be readily removed. A brace, y, extends from the shoe F to the lug m of the head A, for the purpose of sustaining said shoe when the machine is used as a reaper.
By this arrangement I have constructed a machine which can be used as a directdraft mower, or which can readily he converted into a reaper or side-draft mower.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The arrangement of the finger-bar l', extending over the end of the machine and inline with the front located hoger-bar I, both being attached to a swivel-arm, all constructed and operating as herein shown and described.
2. The shoe F, formed with thesockets p t, as described, for the purpose of forming bear ings for the head i of the dropper M, and the gudgeon u of the cut-od' 0, as herein shown and set forth.
3. The combination of the lever y, swivel-arm E, ngenbar I, and swiselarm G, for raising the inner shoe F, substantially as described.
4. The combination of' thelever f, pin e, slot d, arm E, finger-bar I, and swiveharm G for raising the outer shoe H, substantially as described.
