'SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,050, dated December 11, 1883.

`Application filed April 16, 1883. (No model.)

.To all whom it nto/,y concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS W. HAssELMAN, of Indianapolis, Indiana, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Straw-Stacking Machines, of which the following is a description, referencevbeing made to the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like letters indicate like parts.

My invention relates to that class of machines known as stackers,H and is designed to be used in connection with straw-thrashing machines. J 0

In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my machine mounted on trucks; Fig. 2, a top view with the folding carrier and its gearing removed, and` Fig. 3 a rear end View. Fig. 4 is a side elevation ofthe rear end of the elevator, and Fig. 5 isa cross-section of the same.

The machine as herein described is an improvement on my first straw-stacker, for which Letters Patent No. 274,940 were issued to me on the 3d day of April, 1883.

In' det-ail, c is a folding carrier, which has a slatted belt, b, moved by a belt uponthe two pulleys dp and dp', which are actuated by the bevel-gears b and b2, 4the former mounted on the horizontal shaft s, and the latter on a vertical shaft.

c, a, a2, and a3 indicate the parts ofthe framework ofthe carrier. The carrier and its frame revolve upon the fifth-wheel fw, and are sup ported on the top of a rigid frame-work, F F, `through the top plate of which passes a vertical shaft, on the upper end of which is fixed the bevel-gear b2, and on its lower end the bevel gear b3. This vertical shaft passes through a sleeve or hub, ha, as shown in Fig. 3. The' bevel-gear wheel b3 engages with the bevel-wheel b4, Fig. 3, which latter is mounted on the end of the short shaft s, having a bearing in the hanger ha, and on the outer end of this shaft s is fixed the main drivingpulley dp, from which a belt, bt, leads to the pulley on the engine.

ch is a chain attached to a-projection, P, on the end of the carrier, and winding on a spool or windlass, 81) with icogged gearing cg and cg, for revolving it by means of the crank cr. This apparatus is for raising and lowering the'carrier.

W is a counter-balance.

85 is a ratchet on the outer end of shaft s". c* is a pawl on the outside of the frame F, which engages the ratchet 85. By turning the crank cr the cogs cg cg are revolved, and the chain ch wound Jupon the windlass sp, and the elevator thereby raised. The pawl and ratchet prevent the backward' movement of the windlass.

The receiving end of the carrier-frame is hopper-shaped; but its sides, instead of being rigid, are foldable inwardly, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. In the drawings, st is a strap bolted to the upper section of the hoppers side, and ht' is a hinge, by which the two parts are connected.

When the machine is to be transported, the hinged sides are folded inward, as indicated by dottedlines in'Fig. 5.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,'is

l. In a straw-stacking machine, a carrierframe.consisting of a flat bottom, rigid upwardly-projecting sides, flaring hinged top boards, and straps secured to the outside of said boards, the lower ends of said straps extending below the bottom of said boards, whereby the top hinged boardsare adapted to fold inwardly or extend upward and outward ilaringly, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth. A

2. In a straw-stacking machine, a carrier- Vframe consisting of a bottom board, upwardlyon the frame, as set forth, in combination with the chain ch andcarrier-arm P, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

In witness whereof I havev hereto set my hand this 11th day of April, 1883.

LEWIS WM. HASSELMAN.
