BUNDLE CARRIER AND SHOGKER.

AppIication filed. October 12, 1920. Serial No. 116,340.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be itknown that I, JoHN MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Calvin, in the county of Cavalier and State of North Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bundle Carriers and Shockers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a shocker attachment for binders, the principal object of the invention being to provide means for receiving the bundles from the binder and to form them into shocks before discharging them on to the ground.

Another object of the invention is to provide clutch means .for attaching the actuating mechanism to a ground wheel with means whereby the clutch may be manipulated by the binder operator.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described 11-- lustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the sev eral views, and in which Figure 1 is a diagrammatic plan view showing the invention attached to a binder.

Figure 2 is an edge view of the attachment.

Figure 3 is a side view showing the parts in discharging position.

Figure 4 is a cross sectional View.

Figure 5 is a detail view,

In these views A indicates the binder and B the attachment, the attachment being secured to the binder by the hinge bolts 1.. This attachment consists of the frame '2 which has one side connected to the binder by the said bolts 1 and its other side supported by the ground wheel 3. A yoke member 4: has its ends pivotally mounted in the frame and the cross piece of this member supports the carrier 5, said carrier being hingedly connected to said cross piece. The carrier is formed of a plurality of strips 6 which are connected together by the flexible member 7 so that said carrier may be rolled up to form the shock. A flat plate 8 is secured to one side of the carrier and a curved plate 9 is secured to the outer side of said carrier. A spring 10 having its ends secured to opposite sides of the carrier, on the underface thereof, serves to hold the carrier in flat condition and a spring 11 having one end attached to the carrier and its other end to a part of the frame holds the carrier and the yoke member in lowered position A drum 12 is rotatably mounted on the frame and this drum is adapted to be connected with the ground wheel 3 by means of the clutch parts 13, a spring 14 normally holding the clutch parts separated. A lever 15 is adapted to engage the movable clutch part to force the same into engagement with the other clutch part to connect the drum with the ground wheel and this roller part is actuated by the operator of the binder by means of the cable 16 which is connected with a foot pedal or lever on the binder within convenient reach of the drivers seat. The cable is guided over suitable pulleys. A cable 17 has one end secured to the drum and this cable passes over the pulley 18 on the frame and over the pulleys 19 on the carrier and has its other end fastened to said carrier, the parts being so arranged that when the drum is rotated to wind the cable thereon, the carrier is first rolled up to form the bundle into a shock and it is then raised and tilted to deposit the shock upon the ground. When the drum is released by the clutch means the spring 11 will return the parts to normal position and the spring 10 will return the carrier to its flattened condition. Thus the bundles may be formed into a shock whenever the carrier is full or whenever the operator desires as all he needs to do is to throw in the clutch means by the cable so as to connect the drum with the ground wheel and thus operate the carrier to form and deposit the shock.

It is thought from the foregoing descrip" tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims,

What I claim is 1. A shocker attachment for binders comprising a wheeled frame, a yoke pivotally mounted on said frame, a spring influenced flexible carrier pivotally secured to said yoke, a pair of plates secured to opposite sides of the carrier, spring means for holding the yoke in lowered position, spring influenced clutch means connected to said plates for successively folding, raising and tilting the carrier, and means for controlling the movement of said clutch means.

2. A shocker attachment for binders comprising a Wheeled frame, a yoke pivotally mounted on said frame, a spring influenced flexible member pivotally secured to said yok a p urality of spaced parallel stripssecured to said-flexible member, a plate secured to one. of said strips, a curved plate secured to another of said strips, spring means for holding the yoke in lowered position, clutch means connected to said plates for actuating said flexible member and yoke against springs and means for controlling the movement of said clutch means.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. 20

JOHN MILLER.
