TILE-DITCHING MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. '286,96 dated October 16, 1883. Application filed July 18, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, .VILLIAMS. Hanson, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Pleasant, in the county of Henry and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Tile- Ditching Machine, of which the followingis a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
. y This invention relates to tile-ditching machines, and it has for its object to produce a machine which shall possess superior advantages in point of simplicity, durability, and general eiiiciency. a
To this end it consists in certain improvements in the construction of the same, which will be hereinafter fully described, and part-icularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of my improved tile-ditcher. sectional View, illustrating a modification in the eartlrelevating mechanism; and Fig. 3 is a detail plan View, illustrating another modification.
The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures. I
A in the drawings designates the front or furrow wheel, which is j ournaledat the lower end of a vertical standard, B, to which the draft-bar or tongue G is attached by a transverse pin or bolt, D, in such a manner as to'be vertically adjustable. The wheel A is journaled upon a stub-axle, E, projecting laterally from the standard B. Upon the said axle, adjoining the wheel A, is also j ournaleda standard, F, carrying a plow or scoop, G, which extends in rear of the furrow-wheel as shown. To the upper end of the standard F is attached a lever, H, by which it may be manipulated, so as to raise or lower the plow to any desired height, at which it maybe retained by a segmental rack, I, engaging a latch, J, upon the lever 11.
K designates arectangular horizontal frame, having bearin gs forthe axle I; of the rear wheels, M, which latter are provided with interiorlytoothed cog-wheels N. The sides of the frame K are connected by braces O with the upper end of the standard B. Upon the axle L is hung a ring or bail, l, supporting the rear end of the cylinder Q, which extends downwardly Fig. 2 is a detail longitudinal and forwardly and terminates in rear of the plow or scoop G. To the upper side of cylinder Q, at the front end of the latter, is pivoted one end of a rod or brace, B, the otherend of which is pivotally connected with the standardlor upright B. To the said pivoted connecting-brace is attached one end of a chain, S, the other end of which is secured to the periphery of a wheel, T, journaled between the upper ends of the braces O, and equipped with an operating-lever, U, by means of which it may beturncd so as to wind or unwind the chain S and raise or lower the front end of the cylinder. The wheel T has internal teeth or cogs, V, adapted to engage a latclyleverfiV, pivoted to the standard B, whereby the said wheel and the front end of the cylinder may be securely retained in any position to which they may be adjusted.
X is a shaft extending through the cylinder Q, and having a spiral flange, Y, which serves to convey the dirt up through the cylinder and out at the rear end of latter, where it is dumped upon an inclined apron, Z, by which the dirt is discharged at the side of the ditch. The shaft X extends in rear of the cylinder Q, and is provided with a pinion, A, engaging a bevel-gear, B, upon a transverse shaft, 0, journaled in the sides of the rectangular frame K. The" ends of the shaft 0 are provided with pinions D, engaging and receiving motion from the cog-wheels N upon the transporting-wheels of the machine.
The operation ofthis invention will be read ily understood from the f0regoingdescription, taken in connection with the drawings heret annexed. The plow or scoop loosens the dirt in front of the lower end of the cylinder, which it will thus readily enter, being carried up through the said cylinder by the spiral flange and dumped at the rear end upon the apron, which discharges it at either side of the ditch. The plow and the front of the cylinder may be readily set, so as to make a ditch or furrow of any desired depth.
In Fig. 2 of the drawings I have shown a modification of the invention, which consists in simply substituting for the spirally-flanged shaft X a chain or apron, E,'running upon sprocket-wheels F and G" journaled, respect ively, at the front end of the cylinder and beserve to convey the dirt up through the cylinder.
In Fig. 8 of the dr. wings I have illustrated another modification of myinvention, which relates more especially to the dumping-apron. In Fig. 1 I have shown the latter as consisting simply of an inclined plane serving to discharge the dirt dumped upon it from the cylinder at either side of the ditch. By the construction shown in Fig. 3, I mount in the frame, in rear of the cylinder, a pair of longitudinal rollers, I I, carrying an endless apron, J, which receives the dirt as it comes from the cylinder and serves to discharge it upon the ground. Motion is imparted to the apron from a shaft, K, having a pulley, L, connected by a belt or band, M, with a pulley, N, upon one of the rollers I. The shaft K has a pinion, O, meshing with a bevel-gear, 1 upon the axle L of the machine, from which motion is thus transmitted to the dumping mechanism.
The construction of this machine is susceptible of being altered. and modified in many other respects than those above mentioned, and I reserve to myself the right of making any such changes and modifications as may be made without departing from the principle and spirit of my invention.
I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States l. The combination of the front standard having the stub-axle, the furrow-wheel journaled upon the latter, the plowstandard journaled upon the stub-axle, and having the plow or scoop extending in rear of the furrowwheel, the operating-lever attached to the plow-standard, and mechanism for retaining the same in any position to which it may be adjusted, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of the front frame, comprising, mainly, a vertical standard having a stub-axle and a wheel journaled upon the latter, the rear fran1e,co mprising, mainly, ahorizontal rectangular frame mounted upon suitable transporting-wheels, braces connecting the sides of said horizontal frame with the upper end of the vertical front standard, the cylinder having its rear end supported in a bail attached to the rear axle, apivoted rod or brace connecting the front end of the cylinder with the front standard, and a chain connect ing said pivoted brace with a winding-drum, whereby, by operating said winding-drum, the front end of the cylinder may be adjusted vertically, substantially asset forth.
' 3. The combination of the rear frame mounted upon the transporting-wheels, the front frame, comprising the vertical standard, the stub-aXle, the furrow wheel, and the vertically-adjustable draft-bar, the plow-standard mounted upon the stub-axle and carrying the plow or scoop, mechanism for adjustingand retaining the latter, braces connecting the upper end of the front standard with the sides of the rear frame, the cylinder supported at its rear end in abail attached to the rear axle, and having its front end connected with the front standard by a pivoted rod or brace, mechanism for adjusting the said brace, mechanism for conveying the dirt through the cylinder, means,actuate d by thetransporting wheels, for operating said conveying mechanism, and a dumping-apron in rear of the cylinder, all arranged and operating substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixcd my signature in presence of two witnesses.
\VILLIAM S. HANSON.
