IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-SHELLING MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 190,344, dated May 1, 1877 application filed August 5, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES LIPPINOOTT, J r., of Mount Holly, in the county of Burlington and State of New Jersey, have invented'a new and valuable Improvement in Combined Corn Sheller and Gleaner and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,
' the longitudinal inclined riddle, its transverse stop, the conveyer, guide, hopper, and fan case, having an open discharge across said hopper,as hereinafter shown and described.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the frame of the machine, which is rectangular in form, being supported on suitable corner-posts V V, whereof the latter are extended upward, to support the feedinghopper. The case is provided with a removable top or cover, B, and with a removable end board, B, and ready access is thereby afforded to the interior working parts. -The case or frame A is provided with side walls W, which are secured to stout longitudinal beams connecting the end posts.
Near the base of the machine is a case, 0, containing a fan, D, the open mouth of which is located under the end of the conveyer and at about the beginning of the discharginghopper I. From the mouth of the fan-case the blast is discharged, in an open manner, over the hopper P and through the open rear a of the frame, as indicated by the arrows in the drawings, driving out the chaff and dust.
E represents a double throated inclined feeding-hopper, leading down to two feedingwheels, F, the peripheries of which are beveled inward and toothed, to carry the ears of corn toward the studded picker wheel G, which works in the opposite direction between them,
which may also be a belt-wheel. The pinion 'c engages with a large spurwheel, I, on the squared shaft 0 of the studded shelling-wheel Gr. A crank, e, on the shaft e is used for operating the machine by hand.
The top of the hopper is formed by attaching to a transverse head-block, o, the ends of spring-boards a, which are concave on their under sides. The hopper is divided by a partial partition, to, extending upward from its floor, which is extended with said partition downward and obliquely between the feedingwheels, in the form of a tongue, z. The sides .9 of the hopper are extended on each side of the feeding-wheels to form guards, between which and the exterior guards s the cover B is placed in position. The picker-wheel G is provided with broad radial-edged teeth it, near its center, working opposite, or nearly so, to the teeth of the feed-wheels. Exterior to these broad teeth are circular series of pointed picking teeth t. Extending nearly the entire length of the machine below the picker-wheel is the inclined riddle J, upon which the cobs and shelled corn fall from the shelling-wheel.
The bars of the riddle are arranged lengthwise of the machine, and are angular in crosssection, to prevent lodgment and facilitate the traveling of the cobs lengthwise toward its discharging end. Under the riddle is the con veyer-shoe L, which is connected thereto, and extends under the same as far as the beginning of the discharging-hopper P. This riddle and conveyer receives its trembling reciprocating motion through the medium of a spring-pitman, h, and a crank, g, on a shaft having a spur-wheel, which is rotated by the pinion c, acting through the medium of the spur-wheel N. This riddle is designed to extend from a point in front of the feeding-hopper the entire length of the machine, and projects at the rear, forming a tail, m, over which the cobs aredischarged. At l the riddle is superficially divided by a transverse shoe L, and under the rear portion of the pickerwheel, said bar serving to turn the grain down into said shoe. It is provided with squared shoulders or corners z, which extend laterally on each side of the beveled bars 8 of the riddle, and serve to hold the cobs slightly atthis point, knocking ofl such grains as may adhere thereto, and preventing the cobs from carrying loose grain in any quantity over the tail. Being a part of the riddle, the stop partakes of the motion thereof, and therefore the cobs will easily move over the obstruction, and any jamming or wedging at this point will be avoided. It also serves to strengthen the riddle at this point when much of the corn and cobs descend upon it, being the shoe L to the discharging hopper and spout. The chaff and dust from the cobs and grain are blown directly out of the machine to terminating near said stop, and the shelling mechanism, substantially as specified,
In testimonythat I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses. I JAMES LIPPINCOTT, JR.
