GRAIN-BINDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 'No. 276,469, dated April 24, 1883.

' Application filed January 29,1883. (No model.)

. binding-twine into proximity with the knotter,

which device is composed of a lever or arm mounted in the rear or under side of the customary breast-plate on an oscillating shaft, which is journaled on the side of the knottersupporting frame and operated by means of a pinion and rack, said rack connecting by a forked arm with arotating cam on the hotterdriving shaft.

My invention is particularly designed to provide means for binding grain in tighter bundles than heretofore, the utility of which is apparent in the saving of twine.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of part of a grain -binder embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a broken sectlonal elevation on line :1; as, Fig. 1-, on an enlarged scale, showing my improved tucker and its driving mechanism, in connection with the breast-plate and knotter-supportin g frame. Fig. 3 is a broken transverse sectional elevation on line 3 :1 Fig. 3, showing the tuckerarm, breast-plate, part of the knotter-supporting frame, and the pinion and rack on V the tucker-oscillating shaft.

The frame of the machine and the knotter and its driving mechanism are constructed and arranged as customary, and it will therefore be unnecessary to describe them, as they do not form any part of the claim herein. t

A represents the customary breast-plate, arranged and secured in the usual manner to the binder-frame and the knotter-supporting frame or plate B.

0 is the knotter-driving shaft, jou-rnaled within the sleeve D.

cillating shaft, 6, to press upon the twine and carry and hold it into proximity with the knotter, and also so as to take up such slack as may occur at this point and hold the cord taut till the knot is tied. The shaft e is journaled in bracket hearings or boxes 0. b, constructed on the side face or flange, b, ofthe knotter-supporting frame B.

F is a segmental gear or pinion, secured in any suitable manner on the shaft 6.

G represents a lever pivoted on the stud or ping, projecting from flange b of the knotterframe B.

H represents a toothed head or 'rack,eonstructed at one end of lever G, which meshes with the pinion F to oscillate the tucker.

I represents fork-arms at the opposite end of lever G, and provided with friction-rollers i -i at their outer ends.

J isa cam or segmental flange, secured in place in the knotter-driving shaftG by a screw or bolt, j.

Fork-arms I straddle or span the cam J,the rotary movement of which, in contact with the rollers i i on the ends of the fork-arms, causes the lever G to oscillate, and, through rack-and pinion connection with the tucker-shaft, moves the'tucker-arm at the proper time and in the desired manner.

I claim In a grain-binder, the cord-tucker arm E, mounted on a shaft, e, and driven or oscillated by pinion-and-rack connection with a pivoted lever, G, having:v a bifurcated end spanning the knotter-driving shaft, the latter having a cam, J, substantially as and for the purposes described. I

In testimony whereofI have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

NOAH T. BEMY.
