BAG HOLDER AND WEIGHER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentwNo. 299,863, dated June 3, 1884.
Application filed March 20, 1884.
' To all whom it may concern:
i Improvements in Bag Holders and Weighers;
and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part 'of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a side view of a portion of the frame of a thrashing-machin e, showing my improved grain bagging and weighing device in position. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device detached, and Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the same. y
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
My invention has relation to devices for bagging and Weighing grain, and more especially adapted for thrashing machines which travel over the eld, thrashing the grain as it is taken up from the swath; and it consists in the improved constructionand Acombination of parts of such a device, which is adapted to drop the bags of grain as they are weighed and tied, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed. I
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A i' indicates the grain-spout, through which the grain passes from the separator into bags supported in the device, which consists of a lever,
B, pivoted near its rear end upon an arm, C,
projecting laterally from the rear corner of the machine-casing, and the said lever is slotted longitudinally at its forward end, as shown at D, in which slot a receptacle, E, slides and may be adjusted, which receptacle is adapted to receive weights or poises to the weight of the grain to be filled into each bag. An upright, F, having a slight inward inclination, is secured upon the rear endl of the lever, and a circular plate, G, having a central upright sleeve, H, is pivoted upon the upright, and has three (more or less) upright rods, I, atl its periphery, at equal distances to the upper ends of which a corresponding number of arms (No model.)
J, connected at their inner ends to a small disk, K, secured to the upper end of the central sleeve, are secured. The edges of these arms are provided withrows ofuprightpoint` ed pins L, upon which a portion of the edges of the'bags to be filled maybe hooked, the lower ends of the bags resting upon the bottom plate, and curved arms or plates M, having arow of outwardly-projecting pins, N, and having a series of perforations, O, are hinged at one end to the upper ends of the upright rods. These arms or plates reach nearly ov er the space between the upright rods, and overlap the ends of similarly-curved arms or plates P, hin ged to the upright rods, and ineeting the ends of the arms having the pins, and the outer ends of the smooth arms are provided each with an outwardly-pointing pin or lug, Q, which serves to catch and engage one of the perforations in the arms having the pins, locking the two ends of each pair of arms together. A portion of the upper edges of the bags to be filled are hooked upon the pins upon the arms, and the sides of the bags forced out until distended, when each of the locking-pins upon the smooth arms will catch in one of the perforations in the outer arms, holding the mouth of the bag distended for the reception of the grain passing out through the spout.
To hold the lower ends of the bags in place, curved arms R are hinged upon the lower portions of the upright rods, having catches upon their outer ends adapted to engage catches upon the upright rods, the arms reaching from one rod to another. IIhe forward end of the lever is guided by a bail, S, which projects from the side of the 'machine-casing, and which serves to guide it rocking in a vertical plane, 'and to prevent it from tipping too far up or down, and the under side of the bottom plate has a number of catches, T, one for each compartment, formed by the radial arms and the upright rods, and a spring-catch, U, upon the upper side ofthe lever will engage one of these catches or notches upon the bottom plate, preventing the plate from revolving. An arm, V, projects from theside of the ma'- chine-casing, and will strike the spring-catcl1 upon the lever, when the forward end of the same is tilted upward by theweight of the grain IOO in the bags, releasing the catch from the notch and allowing the bag-holding frame to revolve 5 the inclined position of the upright upon the lever and its rearward inclination, caused by the tilting of the lever, causing the bag which is nearest to the side of the machine to revolve toward the rear, thus bringing an empty bag under the spout, and allowing the full bag to be tied up and removed and an empty bag to be put in its place, a seat, W", being provided at the rear end of the machine for the person attending the bags.
It follows that this device may be used attached to any machine delivering grain, seed, or any other dry article measured or weighed in bags-as, for inst-ance, at an elevator, mill, or similar building-the principle of my invention remaining the same.
Having thus described my invention, l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United Statesl. The combination ol" a lever pivoted near its end under the discharge-spout, and having a sliding weight upon its long end, an upright secured in an inwardly-inchned position upon the short end ot' the lever, a bag supporting frame having compartments :For the bags to be lilled, and turning upon the upright under the end ofthe discharge-spoln-7 notched catches secured under each bagcompartment, a sp1-i n catch secured at one end upon the upper side of the lever adapted to engage the notched c'atches, and a laterally-projecting arm upon the machine-:frame adapted to strike the i'ree end of the spring catch when the long end of the lever is raised, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.
2. The combination of a lever pivoted near one end under the dischargespout, and having a sliding weight upon its long arm, an upright secured in a slightly inward]y-inclined position upon the short end of the lever, a bag-supporting frame pivoted upon the upright, having means for securing the mouths ofthe bags open, and having outwardly-opening doors or bars, closing the outer sides of the compartments for the bags, provided with catches closing by being forced outward by the grain in the bags, and means for holding one compartment under the grainspout at the time, and for allowing the frame to turn when the lever is tilted by the weight of the filled bags, as and l'or the purpose shown and set forth.
3. The combination of a lever pivoted near one `end at the grain discharging spout, and having a sliding weight upon its long arm, an upright secured in asli ghtl y inwardly-in clined position upon the short arm ofthe lever, a bagsupporting frame consisting of a bottom plate, a central upright sleeve turning upon the up right, a number of uprights secured at equal distances at the edge of the bottom plate, and a corresponding number of radial arms having upwardly-pointing pins, curved arms having outwardly i pointing pins at their outer ends and pivoted upon the upper ends of the uprights, adapted to meet and engage with the perforated curved arms, curved arms hinged at the lower ends ofthe uprights, and having means for catching their free ends in catches upon the adjoining uprights, and means for holding one ot' the compartments Aformed by the uprights and the radial arms under the grain-spout at the time, and for releasing it when the lever is tilted by the weight of the filled bag, allowing the frame to turn and bring a new compartment under the spout, as and f'or the purpose shown and set forth.
'In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own l have hereunto affixed my signature in presence ot' two witnesses.
