IMPROVEMENT IN SHEARlNG-CHAIRS.
v Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,258, dated June 27, 1876; application filed April 25, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES A. BOALS, of Dinsmore, in the county of Washington and State" of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved ShearingOhair, of which the following is a specification My invention consists of a horizontally-revolving seat and a vertically-swinging rack,
together with adjusting devices for the same, fixed on a platform and arranged in such manner that the sheep may be so placed on the seat and rack as to be more conveniently supported and handled for shearing than it can be in the ordinary way.
Figure l is a side elevation of my improved shearing-chair, and Fig. 2 is a plan view.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is a kind of bowl-shaped seat, fixed on a vertical pivot, B, in a block, 0, mounted in the slot 1) of the platform G, to slide forward and backward along the platform. E is a notched lever-handle, pivoted to the seat-slide at F, to he used for shifting the seat along, and also for holding up the rack H higher .or
lower, the said rack being located a little distance from the seat A, along the platform in the direction in which the bowl slides, and pivoted to the edges of it at I. This rack is a little convex on the side fronting the seat, and it has an elastic binding-strap, L, fixed at one side of a rod, M, so that it can slide up and down the rack, to fasten at the other side of the latter, on either of the studs N, the object of which is to shift the strap from the unsheared to the sheared part of the sheep lying on the rack.
O is a kind of intermediate support for the sheep between the seat and the rack, when the rackis let down low, and P represents stud pieces on it to limit the depression of the rack.
To use the chair, the sheep is placed on his side on the rack, with his rump on the seat, the rack being suitably elevated and the seat being adjusted the proper distance from the rack; then the binding-strap is applied, and the sheep sheared on one side, after which the strap is released, the seat shifted a little away from the rack, and the sheep is raised a little onto the seat and turned over, by revolving the seat, and laid on the rack again, the part of the fleece which has been out off running where it laid, and thus being in better condition for folding than in the common way of shearing.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A shearing-chair, provided with a seat that revolves and slides adjust-ably, as shown and described.
JAMES A. BOALS.
