BUNDLE CARRIER ANDDR OPPER FOR HARVESTERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,768, dated November 16, 1886.
Application filed August 14, 1885 Serial No. 174,764. (N model.) I
rier and dropper for use with harvesting-ma 1o chines; and it consists in certain features of construction and novel combinations of parts,
as will be described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are respectively front and side elevations of our im-' I 5 provement.
In the operation of the harvesting devices the grain is discharged onto a platform, a,
which in the construction shown inclines do wn ward toward its outer end; so the grain will discharge by gravity when the retaining-apron,
presently to be described, is released.
In the construction shown beams c c c0nstitute what may be termed the franning or main frame, for supporting the several other parts of the improvement and facilitating the attachment thereof to a harvester. The beams care the base-beams, and on them we mount the 'standards 6, which have their upper edges adapted to receive the top beam of the apron, 0- preferably bynotching said standards at 1 to receive the ends 2 of the top beams, 0, of the aprons b. This construction is preferred, because by it the apron may be easily removed when desired, and it is also preferred to in- I 5 cline the standards from their lower to their upper ends outward toward the apron, to enable the movable connections, presently described, to slide more easily thereon. The apron b, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, is formed o ot'suita-ble flexible material-such, for instance, as canvasand has at its upper end a beam,
0*, supported in standards 0 while at its lower end it is re enforced by a beam, c,which gives it rigidity at such point, as well as weight,
, 5 which is especially desirable in the construction shownin said Figs. 1 and 2. To the lower edge or end of the apron are secured at one end connections m, which extend forward to and are connected with and movable along the standards 0 This movable connection with the standards is preferably effected by rings Z,
as shown.
The standards are arranged in front of the apron, and when the apron is closed to collect the bundles or grain the beam 0 and connections m rest flat against platform a, as shown in Fig. 1. When the lower edge of the apron is raised, as shown in Fig. 2, the connection or may slide upward on the standards; or, if butaslight movement of the apron be needed, or the connections at be made of sufficient length to permit the lower edge of the apron to swing upward, the forward ends of the connections might be fixed rigidly to the stand ards, or otherwise to the framing. \Ve prefer to connect them with the standards movably, as before described, as thereby the upward movement of the apron is rendered freer and the operation maybe accomplished with greater case. While the apron may be released by hand, it is-preferred to employ the cord f, secured atone end to the lower end of the apron, and passed thence upward outside of the apron, then at it over the top beam of the apron and into convenient reach of the driver, so that the apron may be raised from the drivers seat and will fall by gravity when released.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, with the apron, of the standards arranged in front of the lower edge of said apron, and connections secured at one end to the lower end of the apron, and having their other ends engaged with and movable on the standards, whereby the apron will rest normally in position to secure the grain and may be elevated to discharge the same, sub stantially as set forth.
2. In combination with the apron, the standards arranged in front ofvthe apron and inclined from base to top toward the apron, and connections secured at one end to the lower end of the apron and held to and movable along theinclined standards, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination of the framing, the apron, a beam supporting the upper edge of the apron, a cord connected with the lower edge of the apron and passed upward outside of the apron and over the top beam thereof, standards arranged in front of the apron, and connections secured at one end to the apron and movably connected at their opposite ends with the standards, substantially as set forth.
