BUNDLE-CARRIER FOR HARVESTERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,141, dated May 3, 1887.
Application filed March 12, 1886. Serial No. 194,947. (No model.)
To aZl whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JOHN F. APPLEBY, of Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain Improvements in Bundle-Carriers for Harvesters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in the carriers that are used with self-binding harvesters to receive the bundles as they are discharged from the binding mechanism, and to drop them in windrows for convenience in shocking.
The invention consists, generally, in the construction and combination hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings forming part of this specifi cation, Figure 1 is a plan of a portion of a'harvester with my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the carrier and a portion of the supporting and operating mechanism, lookingin the direction of arrow 1 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a partial elevation looking in the direction of arrow 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail showing the spindle and inclined joint.
In the drawings, A represents the basket or carrier, which is secured beneath the binding mechanism 13, substantially as shown in Fig. 1. This basket may be of any suitable construction. As shown, the basket is formed with a slatted bottom, 4, an open rear end, and inclined front and side walls, 6, 8, and 10. The wall 8,0pposite the binding mechanism,is preferably higher than the others, so that the bundles are prevented from passing over it as they are thrown into the basket. The forward part of the basket as thus constructed is heavier than the rear part, bringing the centcrof gravity near the forward end.
I support the basket ata point substantially under its center of gravity upon a transverse journal or pivot, and when the basket is empty it is-practically balanced upon this support and remains in a substantially horizontal position. As the bundles fall into the basket, the greater part of their weight is in the rear of this journal, and tends to tilt the basket thereon. I provide means under the control of the operator forholding the basket in a horizontal position until the point where the bundles are to be deposited is reached, when the basket is allowed to tilt and dump the bundles- I have shown in the drawings preferable means for thus supporting and holding the basket.
A sleeve, 16, is supported by suitable braces, 18 and 20, from the harvester-frame and a shaft, 22, beneath the binding mechanism. In this sleeve is a spindle, 24, that is free to turn therein, but having its movement limited by a suitable stop-pin, 26, that encounters a projec tion on the end of the sleeve. This spindleis of L shape, the end nearest the basket being at right angles to the main part, and forming ajonrnal, 30. A casting, 28, having ajournal bearing formed therein, is secured to the hasket by bolts or other suitable means. This bearing fits upon the journal 30 and turns freely thereon. This construction allows the outer end of the basket to be raised, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the basket to be folded against the harvester for convenience in passing through a gateway or by an obstruction. The axis of this journalbearing is at an angle to the bottom of the basket, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. When the basket strikes an obstruction, it will turn on this inclined journal, moving backward and up, and unless the obstruction is too-high will pass over it. A lug, 34, projects from the upper surface of the casting 28. A collar, 36, having a depending lug, 38, is secured to the shaft 22. A rod, 40, having crankarms 42 44 formed upon its opposite ends, is supported in bearings formed in the lug 38 and in a projection, 46, secured to the front part of the harvester-frame. A connectingrod, 50, extends from the arm 42 to the lug 34 on the casting 28.
The harvester is provided with the usual seat-support, 52, having afoot-rest,54,thereon. A footrest, 56, preferably of substantially be1lcrank-lever shape, is pivoted to a projection, 58, in a convenient position for the foot of the person seated upon the machine to rest upon the upper arm thereof. A connecting-rod, 60, extends from the other arm of the foot-rest to the crank-arm 44 on the rod 40.
It will be seen that when the basket is in a horizontal position, as'shown by full lines in Fig. 3, the conneetingrod 50 is nearly in line with the crank-arm 42, so that alight pressure on the pivoted foot-rest, such as will be given by the operators foot resting thereon, will prevent the weight of the bundles from tilting the basket. When the foot is raised from the footrest,the weight of the bundles will tilt the basket, the spindle 24 turning in the sleeve 16, and the bundles will slide to the ground. A light pressure on the foot-rest will then return the basket to a horizontal position.
The spindle 24, whicli forms the pivot or chine-frame, whereby said carrier may have an upward and backward movement about said inclined joint, substantially as described.
2. The combination,'with a harvester-frame, of a laterally-projecting rock-shaft journaled in hearings on said frame and a sheaf-carrier secured thereto, the said shaft having an inclined joint at a point between the bearings on the frame and the point of attachment to the sheaf carrier, whereby said carrier may be turned upward and backward on said joint.
3. The combination, with the sleeve 16, supported beneath the harvester-frame, of the spindle 24, mounted therein, the inclined journal 30 at right angles to said spindle, and the bundle-carrying basket having the inclined bearing mounted upon said journal, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN F. APPLEBY.
