SPECIFICATION forrning part of Letters Patent No. 402,346, dated April 30, 1889.

Application filed August 20, 1884. Serial No.l4=1,088. (No model.)

v States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grain-Binding Harvesters, of which the following is a full description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is'a perspective view illustrating the devices pertaining to this invention; Fig. 2, a rear elevation; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section; Figi 4, a top or plan view; Figs. 5 and 6, details of the sprocket-wheel and its supporting-bracket for driving the conveyer; Figs. 7 and 8, details showing one of the grain-carrying disks and its teeth; Fig. 9, a detail, being a perspective view of the sickle-pitman and clearing-tooth; Figs. 10 and 1l, details showing the clutch; Figs. 12 and 13, details showing the devices for holdingthe stop-arm out of engagement; Fig. 14, a detail showing the 'connection of the pitman with the sickle.

` My invention consists in the construction and combination of parts in a grain-binding harvester, as hereinafter specified in the claims annexed to this specification.

In the drawings a complete grain-binding harvesteris not represented, but only so much of the frame-work as is necessary to illustrate the location and arrangementof the devices pertaining to this invention, and the parts not represented maybe of the usual construction, arrangement, and operation of suchomitted parts.

A represents the finger-beam or front sill of a harvester; A', the rear sill of the receiving-platform, A, the sills which support the binder-frame, and AS crosssills supporting the binder end of the front and rear sills 'and the sills on which the binder-frame is mounted 5 B, the upper arm or section of the gear-stand ard; B', the lowerarm or section; and

v B is a standard or post connecting the upper `and lower arms. .The upper and lower arms, as shown, are in the form of tubular sleeves to form bearings for the shaft which carries the main driving-wheel of the binding devices and the shaft which carries the binding-arm, as shown in Fig. 1, and, as shown,

this standard is bolted or otherwise sc cured to the front one of the sills, A, by the bottom or foot B3; but the front sill, A could be dispensed with and the foot B3 be secured f on top of the sill A. This foot or extension B3 also furnishes a support and bearing for the crank-shaft, by which the packing-teeth are operated, and from this foot B3 projects upward a supporting piece or standard, B4, which is connected by an arm, B5, with the post or standard B, and furnishes a support for the butter, driving-shaft, and trip-clutch.

O is a compressor-finger, also forming the tripping-finger for throwing into operation the driving-gear which operates the binding devices. This linger O is mounted on the end Vof a shaft, O', which has its bearings in a heel or extension, a, on the upright B, and to this shaft O is attached an arm or crank, C,

located on its opposite end outside of the post or upright B, which crank or. arm O, as well as the finger C, maybe keyed or otherwise securely fastened to the rock-shaft C. As shown, the end of the crank or arm C is provided with a hole to receive the lower end of a connecting-rod, b, which passes through a cylinder orltube, c, in which is a central opening, c', which receives a coil-spring, c, the upper end of which is in contact with an adjustable turnbuckle, h, on the rod b. The rod b is in two parts, one of which is' passed through the cylinder c and receives the turnbuckle and collar b on its upper end above the cylinder, and carries a head, b3, on its lowerl end beneath the cylinder. The upper part of the lower section of the rod b is hooked into the lower end of the head b3. The spring c encircles the connecting-rod Z) in the tube c, and one end of the spring rests on the bottom of the cylinder c, with its other end in contact with the turn-buckle b. This spring 4 c is compressed as the finger C is turned down by the gavel compacted against it, and

IOO

spring act and return the iinger after the trip has been made to operate, and it also enables the proper length of connecting-rod to be made to suit the required movement of the combined compressor and trip-finger, to cause such finger to act at the proper time for the different operations required of it.

D is a bell-crank lever, one arm of which, (l, has thereon the casing or tube c, and the other arm, d', of which carries aroller,d", as shown in Fig. 2. This bell-crank lever or arm D is pivoted to the standard or post B" at the point d3, as shown in Fig. 3, so that it is free to vibi'ate on its pin or pivot and give a vibratory movement to the box or casin g c, by means of which the connecting rod or pitman is forced or carried down, the crank or arm C throwing the compressor-finger back so as not to oppose the forward movement of the grain, leaving a clear space for the passage of the bundle from the binder.

E is the main gear-wheel for operating the binding devices, which wheel is mounted on the end of a shaft, E', which runs or has its bearing in the sleeve B. The inner face of this wheel E, within its periphery,is provided with a cam-groove formed by an exterior wall, E", and an interior wall, E3, leaving between them a groove having a circular form, c, around the shaft E' as a center, with diagonal curved extensions c' on each side leading therefrom and connected by a semicircular groove, e", as shown in Figs. l and 3, and in this groove e e' e" the roller d" at the bend of the arms d d of the bell-crank D travels as the wheel E revolves, giving the bell-crank lever a Vibratory movement, by means o'f which and the yielding or spring connection an elastic vibration is given to the finger C. This gear E, on its periphery, is also provided with a circular ange or track, E4, located just within the interior line of the cogs of the gear, which flange or track extends half-way, or nearly so, of the entire circumference of the gear, as shown in Figs. l and 3.

F is the driving-pinion for rotating` the gear-wheel E, with' the cogs of which the cogs of the pinion F mesh. This pinion is mounted on a shaft,F,which shaft has its bearings in an arm or support, B, extending up from the arm B5 between the posts or uprights B" B4. The pinion F is mounted on its shaft F so as to be loose thereon; but the shaft has a continuous rotation from the pulley or wheel F", which is keyed or otherwise firmly secured to the end of the shaft and is driven by abelt or chain, as hereinafter described. As shown, the box or bearing for the shaft F' is on the arm B6; but it might be located in some other manner, so long as its position is such as to bring the wheels E and F into mesh. The inner face of the pinion has pivoted thereto by a suitable pin or pivot, f ,a dog or catch, G', one end of which has a heel or projection, f, and the other a stop or projectionLf, and, as shown, this dog or catch G' is held in its erect position by a spring, f3, one end of which is secured to the dog or catch and the other to the face of the pinion in such manner as to have the spring act to throw the dog up when released from the clutch-tripping lever.

G is the driver keyed or otherwise firmly secured to the shaft F', so as to rotate with the shaft. This driver is provided with rollers g g, and the path described lby the rollers is such that they pass through the opening bctweenthe heel f and stop j" when the dog or catch G' is in its erect position, as. shown in Fig. 2, so that the driver' is free to rotate without engaging the dog or catch, but when the dog or catch is released andA thrown down the heel or face f is raised sufficiently to be engaged by one of the rollers g of the driver G, and when so engaged the driver G and pinion F are locked together, driving the pinion as the shaft F' is rotated.

H is a clutch-tripping lever, arranged to have its acting end h' engage with the projection or stop f', of the dog or catch G' and hold the dog or catch in its erect position, so as not to be engaged by rollers upon the driving-wheel, and the opposite end, h, of this lever H, as shown, is rounded and passes through the eye or loop b on the end of the turn-buckle b", attached to the spring-rod b, which turnbuckle may be screw-threaded onto the rod so that it can be adjusted to give the proper pitch to the clutch-tripping lever to engage the dog or catch with greater or less force, to suit the desired size of the gavel.

I is a bracket or arm bolted or otherwise secured to the post or standard B", and hav ing on its outer face a tubular bearing for the passage of a bolt or rivet, i', by means of which a swinging arm or bracket, I', is pivotally connected to the stationary arm or bracket I in such manner as to swing in or out, and to this arm or bracket I', by a suitable pin or pivot, 3, is pivotally connected the locking-lever H. The arm h of the lever H engages at the rear of the pivot 3 with the end t' of the bracket I, forming a fnlcrum or turning-point, by means of which, as thc bracket or arm I' is swung forward, the acting end h' of the lever will be thrown out of position sidewise and held so as to be held out of line with the arln or bracket I' as it is thrown forward to carry the end of the locking-lever out of line of the dog or catch by the flange or track E", on which an anti-friction roller, i, on t-he end of the arm or bracket Il travels as the wheel E is rotated, and, as shown, the arm or bracket is forced back after the roller 1'." leaves the track E* by a springplunger; but somo other means could be used for this purpose. Y

J is a spring-bolt or plunger, located in a tube o1` bearing, J', on an arm, J which arm J is attached by a bolt, j, to the post or standard B", which boltj3 also serves to sccure the bracket or arm I in position. The

engaging end j of the bolt J is flattened, as shown, and enters a slot, j', in t-he bearing J',

ICO

andthe plunger is projected bya spring, j, `located in the. tube Jf. When the lockinglever H is forced forward and out of engagement with vthe dog G', the starting plunger or lgrain sufficiently far to rock the shaft C and .throw 'down the crank H Cfsuch movement will, through the rod b, draw down the endv hof the locking-lever H, throwing up the engaging end h of such lever, andl releasing the dog or catch G', which is then thrown forward by the action of the' spring f3 suffi# ciently to bring its heel f into position to be engaged by one of the rollers g of the driver G, making a connection between the driver vices.

G andthe pinion F, by which rotation is imparted to the pinion, and through it to the gear-,wheel E, to operate the binding de The wheel Emakes one complete revolution to ,bind a bundle, and as this wheel is of greater diameter than its driving-pinion F somemeans must be Vprovided yto hold the locking-lever H and prevent it fromengaging the dog or. catch and stopping the movement vof the binder before the binding operation is completed. The locking-lever H is held out of engagement through the swinging arm or bracket I', to whichA it is pivoted, and thefulcrum formed by the `end t' of the bracket l in connection with the movements of the pivoted arm D. The finger C, when sufficient grain for a bundle has accumulated, as already described, trips the locking-lever, allowing` the driver G to engage with the dog or catch G', connecting the pinion F with the drivingshaft Fand rotating the wheel E, and as the wheel rotates the anti-friction roller d, is acted on bythe groove e e ef, giving the pivoted lever Da vibratory movement as the roller passesintoj different channels Vof the groove. The roller, at the commencement of the movement is located at a point in the Agroove,vas shown in Fig. 3, and first passes around in the circular portion e of the, groove,

thence into the radial 4curved portionje,` .into theendportion, e, and thence intothe side groove, e, on the starting side, back .tothe starting-point, which line of travel gives the required 4movement to the arm or lever D for the operation of the compressorfinger C. The locking-lever H, after being tripped or released by the depression of the finger C, is carried forward by the roller t" onthe swinging` arm or bracket I,which passes onto the track or iiange E4, throwing `the bracket or arm I forward and carrying the locking- .lever to oneside at itsacting end It', so as to Vclear the stop f as the pinion F revolves, and after the roller t leaves the end of this an'ge l E4 the locking-lever has its forward end depressed by the position of the roller d in the cam-groove e 'e' e, and as the wheel E completes its rotation the forward end, h', of the locking-lever is returned, by the action of the rod b, spring c, and spring-plunger J, into position to engagethe stop f and raise the dog G, unlocking the dog from the driver and allowing the driver and shaft to rotate `without imparting rotation to the pinion F, which unlocking of the driver and the dog takes place as the roller d passes to the position shown in Fig. 3, stopping further movement of the binder. By this arrangement it will be seen that the compressor-iinger forms a trip torelease the locking-lever from the clutch-dog; that after the Alever H isreleased its engaging end h is thrown out of line of qthe clutch-dog by the action of the fulcrum and swinging lever l through the engagement of the roller i with the track E4; that as the roller leaves the track the end h 4Vis returned to a position to engage the clutchdog by the action of the plunger J; that this Aacting end h of the lever H is raised and lowered as the roller d travelsin its cam-groove e e e by the action of such cam-groove and roller and the spring c on the rod l), the result being that the dog and lever H are disengaged and engaged at the proper time to start-,and stop the binder.

K is a sprocket-wheel mounted upon a shaft,

K', which has its bearing in a swinging or piv- IOO oted frame or support attached to the bracing of the binder-frame, and between the sprock- Vet-wheelK and'its frame or support on the A shaft K is. located a gear-wheel, K, which meshes with a gear-wheel, K3, on the end of a crank-shaft, K4. The frame or supportfor the shaft K is pivotedor hung on the, shaft K4, and the frame 7c is provided on each end k with a slot, lo, through which bolts k3 pass for clamping the frame to the bracing K5.

IIO

These slots le ermit a Swingin@` movement of the frame or support Zr., by which the wheel K can be made to act as a chain-tightener to take up any slack there may be in the driving-chain. ,The crank-shaft K4 is made up ofV sections havinO crank-arms 7g4 arranged alternately on opposite sides of the shaft, as shown l in Fig. 4, and this shaft is mounted in suitable bearings located on a bracing or support, K5, and arms K6, extending downward out from a frontcross-bar, K7, which bar may be of the form of construction shown or otherwise. The bracing K5 is bolted at its one end to the post B4, and its other end is turned downv and bolted tothe front sill, A or A. ylhe front end Vof the cross-bar KT is bolted to the brace K5 and its rear end is turned down and bolted vto the rear sill, A', in the form of construction shown.

L are disks, each having a diameter larger than thatof the circle described by the cranks 7a4, and Vthese disks are secured in any firm manner on the shaft K4 to have a disk lie between two adjacent cranks, 164, with sufficient space between the disk and the cranks for the location of the carrying-teeth L', a tooth being provided for each side of each disk, and each tooth is pivoted between the disk and crank at the outer end of the crank bya suitable pin or pivot, I, which passes through the head of the tooth, and is secured in any suitable manner in the disk. Each tooth L' is provided on its heel portion with a tubular bearing, L", through which passes a rod, L3, one end of which is pivotally secured between ears l' on the under face of a cross timber or piece, L4, running from the front to the rear of the machine, and each rod L3 is of sufficient length for the full stroke of the crank, so as to support the sliding bearing L" during the entire revolution of the crank, and by means of this sliding socket L" and the pivoted supporting-rod Ls each tooth L is maintained in a proper relation to enter and carry forward the grain, and is also held from flying out during the revolution of the crank.

M is a sprocket-wheel mounted on a shaft, M', which shaft is supported in suitable bearings on the bottom B3 of the binder-frame. The inner face of the wheel M is provided with an internal gear, m, which meshes with a pinion, m', on the end of the shaft which carries the clearing-roller M", which roller is located at the delivery end of the platformcarrier, and furnishes the means for passing the grain from the carrier and for preventing it from passing around with the carrier.

N is a sprocket-wheel secured to the end of a crank-shaft, N', which shaft, as shown, has one of its bearings in the bottom B3 of the binder-frame, and its other bearings in a support extending up from the inner cross-piece, A3. This shaft N' is provided with two cranks, n, standing in opposite directions in relation to each other, and with a third crank, n', for the attachment of the pit-man rod n", by means of which the sickle is driven,while the cranks n operate the packing-arms, so that this same shaft N' performs both offices of driving the sickle and operating the packing arms or teeth, thus dispensing with a separate shaft for operating thc sickle, as has heretofore been practiced.

O represents the packing-fingers, two being provided in the form of construction shown; but more maybe used, if desired, by adding additional cranks n to correspond with the number of lingers. Each packing-finger has its acting end formed into two fingers, o, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, and the opposite end of the body of the finger has a rounded portion, o', which passes through a guide, O', on the frame-work of the machine to maintain the fingers in proper working relation.

l is the binding-arm formed of a single curved piece, as shown in Figs. l and 3, with an opening in its end, as usual, for the passage of the binding-cord. This arm is firmly attached at its heel or butt-end to a shaft, p, passing through the tubulaiarm B', and is operated by a crank, p and a coimecting-rod,

p, the upper end of which rod is connected to a wrist-pin on the wheel E, and its lower end is pivotally connected to the crank p', crank which is firmly secured to the shaft p, so as to throw the arm up and down.

Q is a frame of a stirrup shape, having attached to its upper end a rod or link (not shown) through which and a suitable lever within reach of the driver (not shown) the frame Q can be slid back and forth on the shaft F', 011 which shaft the frame is mounted, the shaft passing through an opening in the frame and an opening in the hub of the bevel gear-whcel r, located within the opening of the frame, which wheel meshes with a corresponding wheel, r', as shown in Figs. l and 3. The wheel r is secured on the end of a vertical shaft, r", which passes through the sleeve portion Q' of the frame Q and drives the roller or pulley R', by means of which the adj ust ing-belt for the butts of the grain is driven. The bevel-wheel o" is keyed or otherwise secured to the shaft F', so as to be revolved thereby, but free to move longitudinally thereon, by which m eans the bevel gear-wheels r fr' and the frame Q can be moved fore and aft on the machine to bring the adjuster belt or canvas in proper relation for the length of grain.

R is the adjuster belt or canvas having slats on its exterior face, as shown, but which may be a plain canvas, if so desired. This canvas is supported on a suitable frame, one end of which comprises a roller, R", that is journaled in iixed bearings, so as to occupy a permanent position, and the opposite end carries the roller R for driving the canvas, which roller is driven by the shaft r of the gear-wheel r', so that the grain or receiving end of the adjuster belt or canvas remains stationary or fixed, while the delivery end can be changed to suit the length of grain.

S is the retainer, made of a piece of board or other suitable material and fixed to an arm, Q", projecting out from the sleeve Q', which board or retainer is arranged in such relation to the inner end of the adjuster canvas or belt as to prevent endwise movement of the grain, which is liable to occur when the machine is tilted or inclined in order to lower the cut, by which means the tendency of the grain to move forward out of position is obviated, and the tendency of the adjuster to so move the grain by its constant movement is overcome, and it will be noticed that this board, being carried by the sleeve which carries the driving-shaft for the adjusting belt or canvas, maintains the same relation to the belt or canvas in whatever position the adjuster' may be placed. As shown, the retainer is supported by a strap, s, bolted to the arm Q" at one end and to the retainer on its rear face.

T is the driving-chain ruiming around the whceels F", K, M, and N, for driving the respective shafts to which these wheels are attached, and imparting rotation to the binding IOO IIO

devices, the delivering and stripping roller,

and the packing arms or fingers, which chain is driven from the main or drive wheel in any usual and well-known manner.

Uis a finger projecting up from one end` of a bar, U, in which' is a longitudinal slot, U. The slot U has located therein two half-boxes, t tcy, which receive the crank n of the crankshaft N and make a connection between thecrank-shaft and the pitman-rod n, which rod is screw-threaded, as shown, into the end of the finger U, so as to be in line with the body of the support U The outer face of the halfbox t receives the end of a set screw or bolt, u, by means of which.V the half-boxes can be tightened and loosened to lproperly encircle the crank n', and, as shown, the bar U is provided `with a tube, u, in which is an opening leading to the half-boxes, by means of which the parts can be properly lubricated, .which tube is kept closed `by a keeperftt, which is held down by means of a spring, d3, as shown in Fig. 9. This oil-box u enables a quantity of oil to be supplied, by which the parts will be kept lubricated for a considerable time, thus obviating the necessity of frequent oiling. Y

As shown, the support A for the inner end of the bearing B is in the form of an arched bar, the ends of' which rest on the cross-pieces A3, as shown in Figs. l and 3, and the inner end of B is provided with a forwardly-proj ectng foot, 0L', which can be bolted to the arched bar A and firmly support the end of B', and this end of B is provided with a rearwardly-projecting arm, d, which supports and forms a bearing for the inner end of the rock-shaft C of the trip and compressorfinge] C. As shown, the cross-piece L4 is supported by a bar, L5, to the forward end of which the cross-piece is bolted, and the rear end of which is secured by suitable bolts to -ears on the bearing B, the inner end of L5 forming a half-circle to properly encircle the tube B. The clearing-roller M is located to have its under face come slightly below the upper face of theplatform-carrier, the result being that this roller forms a traveling stop, by which the. grain delivered by the platform-carrier will be acted on and, to a large extent, straightened before it passes onto the binding or `receiving table, M3, and this straightening action is further facilitated by the ineline M4, up which the grain must travel before passing onto the receiving-table, which incline is located in such relation to the carrying-fingers L as to have such fingers act and assist in carrying the grain up the incline. Y

The cutting apparatus, reel, inner and outer divider, main or drive wheel, and other devices belonging to harvesting-machines are not represented, as they may be of any of the usual and well-known forms of construction and arrangement. The delivery end of the platform-carrier is shown, and a small porpacking-fingers, and in such relation thereto i as to have their acting ends during their forward movement project through` slots O." in the platform, and engage and move lthe grain forward against the compressor-finger, and this grain carried forward by the action of the fingers O is packed against the finger C, and when a sufficient quantity of the 'grain is accumulated the pressure of the grain, as it is advanced by the packers O, carries the compressor-finger C back sufficiently far to rock the shaft C and throw down thecrank C, andv through the connecting-rod b b disengage the end of the stoparm orrlever H from the dog or catch G, allowingthe driver G to engage with the dog or catch and rotate the pinion F, which imparts rotation to the wheel E and starts the binding devices. As the wheel E commences its rotation, the binding-arm is carried up, forcing the point thereof through the accumulated grain, and separating the grain for the bundle from the infiowing grain, the binding-arm forming a stop for the iniowing grain. The bindingarm continues its advance movement until the gavel is encompassed by the bindingcord and the' cord brought in proper position for the tying devices on the end of the shaft E', which devices may be of any usual and Awell-known form to act and tie the knot and sever the cord. The encompassing of the bundle and the binding operation require one complete revolution of the wheel Egand during this complete revolution the locking arm or lever H is held out of contact with the dog or catch G by the swinging arm or hanger I, as already described. As the binding-arm commences its upward movement, the roller d engages with the circular portion e of its cam-groove, holding the finger C, in order that the grain for the bundle may be compressed between it and the binding-arm, which compression takes place while the binding-arm ascends. When the roller engages with the part e of the groove, the finger is dropped to permit the discharge of the bound bundle, to be again raised as the roller on the bell-crank engages the portion e3 of the camgroove, and maintained in that position, at which time the locking arm or lever H is brought into position to engage the dog or catch G and unlock the driver from the pinion F and stop further rotation of the wheel E and further movement'of the binding, devices, at which time the binding-arm has vreturned to its normal position and the parts IOO IIO

IIS

are in the position shown in Fig. 3. The grain as it leaves the delivery end of the carrier-platform passes over the stripping and delivering roller M and is engaged by the teeth L and carried forward to be operated on by the packing-fingers and forced by the action of these fingers against the compressor, and the fingers L being arranged in pairs alternately on each side of their carryingshaft, two or more fingers engage with the grain at the same time and carry it forward, and when one set of these fingers pass from the grain the other fingers come into operation to engage the grain and carry it forward, by which means the grain is forced forward continuously; and it will be seen that the fingers L', owing to the manner of pivoting and supporting them, will be forced vertically into the grain, and will be drawn from the grain in the same manner, by which means each finger will carry the grain forward of it to the extent of its Jtravel, and then leave it directly.
