COMBINED S'lRAW CARRIER AND STACKER.

'SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No` 367,182, dated July 26, 1887.

Appnctioh mea september a, Issa. semi No. 212,999. (No man.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. BUCH- ANAN, `of Belleville, in the county of St. Clair and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Combined Strawy Carrier and Stacker, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved combined straw carrier and vIo stacker which permits of being easily and quickly adjusted on uneven ground, and is simple and durable in construction and very effective in operation.

The invention consists of various parts and I5 combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and pointed out in the claims. y

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,

2o in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improvement connected with the rear part of a thrashing-machine. Fig. -2 isa broken side eleva- 2 5 tion of the carriage carrying the stacker. Eig.

3 is a plan view of the leveling-frame. Fig

4 is a vertical cross-section of the carriage on the line .fr er of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the rear part of the thrashing-machine and 3o part of the carrier. Fig. 6 is a det-ail plan view of the stacker-supporting ropes. Fig. 7

is a sectional elevation of the upper end of the carrier. Fig. 8 is a plan View of the same. Fig. 9 is a side elevation showing my 3 5 improved carrier and stacker folded up ready for transportation. 5

The carriage A is provided with the frame B, mounted on the wheels C, placed at about one-third the length of the frame B from the 4o rear end, which is provided with the supporting-bars B', which support the stacker when folded up for transportation, as shown in Fig. 9.

To the front of the frame B is secured in the middle the tongue B2, and on each rside is placed a leg, D, having the slot D', through which passes a bolt, E, fastened to the frame B, and on which screws the nut E.

On each side 'of the frame B, between the 5o legs D and the wheels C, is secured a bracket,

F, on which swings the leveling-frame G, provided on its front at each corner with a bolt, H, passing through a slotted leg, H, supported at its lower end by the bolt E in the frame B. On the bolts H screw the handled nuts, H2,'which,when screwed up,serve to hold the leveling-frame G in adjusted position.

On the top of the frame G is placed the circular track Gf, on which travels the stacker base or frame I, consisting of the arm orbeam 6.) I and lthe radial arm I2, both resting with their outer ends on the track G.

On each outer end of the arm or beam I is secured the box J and the bracket J as seen in Figs. 3, 4, respectively, on which are pivoted the brackets or arms K, attached with their upper ends to the lower end of the stacker L.

On the bottom of the leveling-frame G is mounted the shaft M, carrying on its outer 7o end the sprocket-Wheel M, and on its inner end the beveled gear-wheel M2, which meshes into the beveled gear-wheel M", secured to a vertical shaft, M4, which has its bearings in the frame B, and also forms the center pivot for the stacker base or frame I.

To the upper end of the shaft M* is attached the beveled gear-wheel M5, meshing into the beveled gear-wheel M6, secured to the horizontal shaft M7, having its bearings in the boxes 8o .I and J2, secured to the beam I. To the outer .end of theshaft MT is fastened a sprocket-wheel,

Mt, over which passes the endless sprocketchain M9, which also passes over the sprocketwheel M10, attached to the shaft N, mounted in the lower end of the stacker L and carrying the pulleys N, over which pass the endless Abelts N2, carrying the stacker-slats NS, and also passing over similar pulleys, N4, mounted in the upper end of the stacker.

From each end of the beam I of the stackerframe I projects a pin, I3, which comes incontact with the stop-plate I, secured to the leveling-frame G when frame I is swung at right angles, thus preventing a complete turning of the stacker-frame as it is turned on the' shaft M4. One of the side beams of the frame G is extended in front and carries on its outer end a supporting and guiding sprocket-wheel, 0,

over which passes the upper parts of the roo ter ofthe opening Q5.

sprockctchain O', which also passes over the wheel M' on the frame G and over the sprocket-wheel O, secured to the shaft O, mounted on the rear part of the thrashingmachine P, and receiving a rotary motion from a suitable revolving shaft on the thrashing-machine.

On the shaft O3 is mounted, to swing, the folding carrier Q, provided with the usual slut belt, Q', which passes over suitable pulleys on the shaft O and over similar pulleys ou the shaft Q2, which is provided ou one outer end with the pulley Q, which connects by the twisted belt Q* with the pulley QG, secured to the shaft Q, which extends across the upper cud of the carrier Q and carries a fan-wheel formed of two or more radial arms or fan-plates, Q7, which, when rotating, force the straw from the upper end of the slat-belt downwardly upon the s1atbelt N2 of the stacker L. Two deflecting-bars, Q", extend diagonally across the slatbelt Q' ou top, near the dischargeopening Q8, and serve to guide the straw toward the cen- (See Fig. S.)

The carrier Q is supported on each side by a rope, It, which passes upward and over a pulley, R', mounted on the arm R2, projecting from the rear end of the thrasher l? and supported on the top ofthe same. Each rope It then runs to a windlass, R, attached to the, arm B2. rlhe latter is supported by a brace, R4, attached to the thrashcr l?.

Near the upper ends ofthe side arms, It?, is pivoted the boom S, supported on its upper cud by the chain S', secured with one end to the top of the thrasher I.

On the boom S is also hung a pulley, S2, over which passes a rope, S, attached with its inner end to the windlass S, mounted ou the upright post P' of the thrasher I). To t-he other end of the rope S3 is secured a pulley, S5, over which passes a rope, S, attached with its ends to a bar, S7, carrying ou each outer end a pulley, S8, over which passes a rope, S", fastenedgwith its ends to the side of the stacker L, near its upper end.

rlhe operation is as follows: IVhen the stacker is placed in the position shown in Fig. l, then the pulley S2 is perpendicular above the center of the stacker-carriage frame I, so that the stacker L can be swung to any desired angle with the thrashing-machine P, turning with its frame I on the track G' of the levelingframe G, the shaft M* being the center. The frame G is placed on a level by adjusting the legs H' to the desired height, and the frame B is held in position by adjusting the legs D on the bolts E, and fastening them in the desired place by the nuts E'. It is not necessary that the frame B should be in a horizontal position, as it may be set on the side of a hill,thelength of the machine being disposed transversely to the irregularity or slope. The Slat-belt N2 of the stacker L is operated simultaneously with the slat-belt Q of the carrier Q by rotating the shaft O, in any suitable manner, from a revolving shaft of the thrashing-machine I?. The rotation of the shaft O and Slat-belt Q' elevates the straw in the carrierQ until it reaches the opening Q in the upper part of the carrier, and then the straw is forced downward upon the stacker L by the action of the fan-wheel Q7, rotated by the belt Q from the shaft O3. The rotary motion of the shaft O3 is transmitted to the shaft M by the chain O' and the sprocket-wheels O and M', and the motion of 75 the shaft M is transmitted to the shaftN of the stacker L by the gear wheels ,and shafts M2, M, M, M, M, and 'M7 and the sprocket wheels M8 and M10 and chain M. The shaft N operates the Slat-belt N, and thereby ele vates the straw in the stacker L.

It will be seen that the stacker L can, when the machine is in niotion, be swung in any direetion by turning the sameon its base I, and it can be raised or lowered byswingng on the pivoted brackets K and turning the windlass St, which by its rope S3 is connected with the upper end of the stacker L.

The tongue B'A is generally attached to the rear part of the thraShnginaChine; but the stacker L can also be transported independently of the thrasher I) by disconnecting the ropes S3 and the belt O'. The several parts of the carrier can be folded up and rested against the thrashing-machiue, and the stacker L can bc folded up and rested on the bars B' of the frame B, as shown in Fig. 9.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. rIhc combination of the carrier provided with the fan-wheel Q7 in its upper end, with a stacker and a leveling-frame, substantially as shown and described.
