Description
UNITED y. STATES PATENTy OFFICE.V
JAMES MALTBY, OF NORTH BRANFORD, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-RAKES.
t Specication forming part of Letters Patent N0. 3,369, dated `December 5, 1843.
To all whom it may concern:
Beitknown thatI,-J AMES MALTBY,0' North Branford, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful machine for raking hay,straw,or grain, called the Pivot-Rake, which may be worked by hand, horse, orpany other power that can be applied in agricultural held operation; and Ido hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of lt'he construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ot' this specication.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the machine and the brake which serves to elevate or depress the rakes, the heads ot' the rakes and the brake being in the foreground. Letter a represents the heads ot' the rakes, four in number; b, the handles of the rakes, which pass throngha strong `leading-har, to which they are attached by passing through holes in which they can `turn or revolve with ease when the rake meets with any obstruction inpassing over the ground. d dis the leading-bar to which the horse or other power is applied; c, the brake-handle, held byaman or boy when the machine is in motion, for the purpose of elevating or depressing the rakes; e, parts'of the brake intowhich crotches are cut, by which the weight of the brake is made to depress the rakes. These parts are fitted to the handles b b b b, near the heads a a a a,
. within the head-hoopsffffof the rakes. gg
are props, upon which the leading-bar rests when the machine is not in motion. While it is moving they are raised above the ground by force ot' the motive power. The drawings present four heads,each two feet in length, naving a space of two or three inches between them, leaving room for the rakes to turn upon meeting with any obstruction, but not enough for the hay or straw to escape. Each rake has eight teeth. The number of heads and teeth in each may be lessened orincreased,
but the proportions here given are considered the best. Teeth must be-of wood.
Fig. 2 represents the machine with the leading-bar in front; h h, the leading-bar; t' i, the brake-handle; lc k, the props; ll, iron wings for attaching the traces when horse-power is used; m m m m, the ends of the rakehandles passing through holes in the leading-bar, in which they turn when the rake meets an obstruction. n represents one of the rakes as rising over an obstruction by the turning ot' the handle in the leadingbar. The rakes are connected with the leading-bar by pins of wood or iron passing through the end of their handles where they protrude in front of the bar. The bar must be three inches square, more or less.
'lhe brake is used by hand to elevate or depress the rakes in motion, and to prevent the heads from rising to high in any part upon moving over an obstacle and to force them back to a level when it is overcome.
What I claim as my invention, and desire l to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The mode herein described ofconstructing a horse-rake--that is to say, by combining anumber of rakes with the leading-bar in the manner described, the handles of said fakes passing through andturning freely in the lead
