To all whom it may con-cern: them and the extending arms O oli' said arms Be it known that I, LE ROY C. TRYON, a IV, hold said latches forward to their work. citizen ot the United States of America, re- These latches are provided with a laterallysiding at- Marseilles, in the county of La Salle extending tail-piece, Y, tor extending under 5 5 and State of Illinois, have invented certain the arm XV tol prevent the springs from movnew and useful Improvements in a Grain ing the latches too tar forward.

Said shaft R has a 6 5 15 connected with the discharge-elevator of a crank, a., on one end, whichis connected with separator. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the' a crank-lug, n, of the shaft S by means of link oscillating chute for alternately conducting C, through the medium of which connection grain to the buckets and of the mechanism the oscillationA of shaft S rocks shaft R and for oscillating said chute, and of the lower end chute K in the opposite direction from the 2o of the grain-spout leading` from the elevator buckets, so as to cause grain to be conducted of a separator to the buckets connecting with alternately to the buckets. said chute. Fig. 3 is aface view of one of the L is a grain-spout secured at its upper end j ournal-boxes of the tilting buckets and for to the discharge end ot a separator-elevator A securing the frame together that supports the by means of a swivel-bolt, J, so said spout may 7 25 buckets, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of swing laterally.

The bottom of the spout L to conduct the grain to upper ends of said posts are formed to extend the buckettarthest from the elevator, and over said scale-beams to prevent their scaled when the said chute is oscillaied to the reends from dropping down too far when the verso position, as shown in Fig. i), as not to roo 5o scale-beams are released from said latches. -form a continuation ot' the iloor ot spout L, Springstt, placed behind said latches,between said spout will discharge in the opposite bucket, and ihe chute will then arrest the grain as it leaves the spout and-assist in directing it to said opposite bucket.
(Z is an apron arranged across the spout L, near its discharge end,for arresting the vclocity of the grain, so it will not strike the chute and buckets with too great force and be scattered and lost.
If desired, the buckets or chute may be connected with a tally or registering device for keeping tally of the quantity of grain passing through the buckets.
In operation the device is designed to be used with a grain-separator, or any other place where it is neeessaryto weigh and keep tally of grain; but in this instance it is shown in use with a separator and suspended from its grain-discharge spout in such mann er that the spout and its appendages may be moved laterally to deposit the weighed grain in any receptacle desired. It is intended to set the weights G along on the scale-beams at any point desired to indicate the number of pounds a bucket should hold. Y'Vhen the required quantity of grain has entered a bucket, the weight of the gra-in will overcome the scalebeam and cause the buckets to oscillate and change positions and discharge the filled5 i i l l i i Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is a-s follows, to wit:
l. The combination of the frame lLhaving the scale-beams D D, the oscillating buckets 'l T, having, respectively, the latches Z Z, and the oscillating chute K, connected with said buckets in such'manner as to be oscillated thereby simultaneously in a reverse direction, substantially as and jfor the purpose set forth.
Q. In a grain-measuring device, the combination of the oscillating chute, the similar and equal oscillating measuring-buckets,the scalebeains and the mechanism for` detachably connecting said buckets therewith, and the mechanism, substantially as described,whereby the chute and buckets are oscillated simultaneously and .in reverse directions from each other, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3.' `The combination of the frame B, having the bail F, the scale-beanisD D, spring-latches Z Z, shaft S, having the crank-lug n, cranked shaft R, having the crank a, link c, connecting said crank and crank-lug, oscillating chute- K, spoilt L, having its iloor at its lower end shorter than its sides, brace H, and the mechanism, substantially as described, for adjustably connecting said spout with a separator, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
