IMPROVEMENT IN GUARD-PLATES FOR'IHARVTESTER-CUTITERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 173,903, dated February 22, 1876; application filed April 20, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. OooHaANE.
of La Fayette,in the county of Tippecanoe and State of Indiana, have invented anew and Improved Heel Guide and Pitman for Harvesters; andI 'do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of the inner end of the cutting mechanism, showing the pitinan and heel-guide for the sickle, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the inner shoe in front of the sickle-heels Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the drag-bar shoe, and Fig. 4 a horizontal section of the heel-guide.
Similar letters of reference in the accompanying drawin gs denote the same parts.
My invention has for its objectto improve the means 'for preventing the sickle of a grain and grass harvester from dropping inward below the end of the inner shoe when theshoe and linger-bar are turned up for transportation. To this end, the invention'consists in casting the heel-guide in one piece, with a returning shoulder or projection at its inner end, against which the pitman-hook of the sickle bears when the finger-bar is turned up, to prevent the sickle fromdropping below the inner end of the guide and'shoe.
In the accompanying drawings, A is the finger-bar ot'a grain or grass harvester, secured to the inner shoe B and provided with the sickle, moving through the race 0 in the usual manner. D is the heel-guide, bolted upon the top of the shoe in rear of the sickle, and cast with a returning projection or shoulder, E, at its inner end. F is the sickle-pit-' man, having its hook G sufficiently long to extend through the heel H of the sickle and bearagainst the face of theheel-guide. The pitman is held within the heel by the pin I, and a washer, J, is employed to insure the bearing of the sickle hook against the heelguide, so that, as the parts become worn, the washer may be renewed or replaced by others, to hold the hook up to the guide. By this construction the sickle is guided evenly and
