N.FETERS, PHOTO-LITHOGRFKER. WASHINGTON D C UNITED STATESA PATENT QFFICE 'CHARLES D. YOUNG, OF NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN HARVESTER-RAKES.
Speeication forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,634, dated April 4, 1876 application tiled December` 31, 1875.
To all 'whom 'it may' concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES D. YOUNG, of Niagara Falls, in the county ot' Niagara and State of New York, have invented an Improve nent in Harvester-Rakes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof', 1'e ference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a device which shall at once serve to protect the mechanism of harvester-rake heads from being clogged and entangled with straw and the like, and at the same time afford and constitute an auxiliary support to the rake-arms, thereby relieving the strain upon the rakerollers.
Figures l and 2 are front elevations ot' a harvesterrake provided with my improvements, showing a rakearm in different successive positions.
Similar letters of reference denote corresponding parts in'both the tigures.`
In the accompanying drawings, B represents one of the arms ot' a harvester-rake, A, which rake is of an ordinary and well-'known construction, and will not, therefore, be further described. O and D represent my improved grain rods or shields and auxiliary rakearm supports. These gra-in rods or supports are formed of heavy steel wire or steel rod by bending the same into a suitable spiral shape, as shown at C and D. Alter having been thus bent, one end of the rod or support is rigidly fixed to the under side 0r outer surface ofthe camway E, or to the inner divider, by means ot' a clamp-screw, F, or other suitable fastcn` ing. The grain rods C and D, being thus formed and attached to the rake-head camway ot' a harvester, provide a continuously rising and encircling guard or protector to such rakehead and its camway, by means ot' which straw and like substances are pushed away from the rake-head mechanism, thus preventing a clogging or interference in its proper operations. The form and attachment ot' my grain-rods or auxiliary supports G and D to the rake-head camway is so arranged that as the rake-arm advances from its highest point toward the lowest point in its path, so the grain-rod rises continually towardthat point. The grain-rod, therefore, rises to its greatest elevation at the point ot' greatest depression of the rake-arm. When the rake-arm has reached its point ot' greatest depression the strain upon the rakearm rollers becomes the most intense, and oonsequently the arrangement of the grain-rods,
as described, serves to provide a valuable auxiliary support for the rake-arms.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
Grain rods or supports constructed in a circular or spiral form on the camway ot' a harvester-rake, substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes specied.
C. D. YOUNG.
