GEORGE \V. PUROELL, OF BLACK HAIVK, MISSISSIPPI.
CO'TTON-HARVESTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 310,314, dated January 6, 1885.
Application filed November 21, 1883. (No model.)
T 0 all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. PUROELL, of Black Hawk, in the county of Carroll and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and Improved Cotton-Harvester, of which the fol-- lowing is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved machine for picking cotton, which machine can be held to the body and operated by hand.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, formingpart of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal elevation of my improved cotton-picker, parts being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the same on the line x m, Fig. 1.
A shaft, A, is journaled in the ends of the prongs of a fork, B, formed on the end of a rod, 0, provided with a plate, 0, and a belt, 0, for holding and securing it to the body. On the shaft A a disk, D, is rigidly mounted, the thickness of which disk decreases slightly from the middle toward the edge, which is rounded off. The surface and edges of the diskare covered with coarse carding-cloth or with picker-teeth a. On each hub D of the disk D a bevel cog wheel, E, is formed, which cog -wheels engage with bevelpinions F, mounted on the ends of shafts G, held about parallel with the disk D on the shanks of the fork, on which shaft G clearerbrushes H are rigidly mounted. On one end of the shaft A a pinion, J, is mounted which engages with a cog-wheel, K, pivoted to one of the shanks of the fork, and provided with a handle, L, for revolving it. If the picker has a double wedge-shaped cross-section, as shown, a greater surface of the said disk can be presented to the cotton.
The operation is as follows: By means of the wheel K the picker-disk D is revolved in the direction of the arrows a-that is, toward the operator. The picker-teeth catchthe cotton and tear it from the plants. The clearerbrushes H are revolved much more rapidly than the disk D, and brush the cotton from the teeth a. From the brushes H the cotton drops into a suitable receptacle held below the picker.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent- 1. In a cotton-harvester, the combination of the fork B and the disk D, journaled in the outer ends thereof, with the clearer-brushes H, journaled within the fork at opposite sides ofthe disk B, pinionJ on the outer end of the shaft of the disk D, and pinion K, meshing therewith for revolving the disk, substantially as set forth. 1
2. In a cotton-harvester, the combination, with the picker-disk D, mounted on the shaft A, journaled in the fork B, of the bevel cogwheels E, formed 011 the hub of the disk, the bevel-pinions F, the clearer-brushes H, the pinion J on the shaft A, and the cog-wheel K, engaging with the pinion J, substantially as herein shown and described.
