SANFORD D. KINSEY, OF BYRON, MICHIGAN.

MACHINE FOR TRANSMITTING MOTION.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,744, dated May 7, 1889.

Application filed November 30, 1888. Serial No. 292,289. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

citizen of the United States, residing at Byron, in the county of Shiawassee and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Transmitting Motion, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in machines for transmitting motion from an englue to a thrasher or other machine; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a top plan view of a machine embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same, taken on the line a: w of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the machine.

A represents a circular platform, which is provided with radial arms B, and on the under side of the platform are radial supportingsills O, which are bolted to the platform and to the arms B. The platform is provided with an annular opening, D, concentric therewith and extending nearly entirely around the platform.

E represents a sleeve or standard which is secured on the center of the platform, and F represents a vertical shaft, which extends through the center of the platform and through the center of the sleeve or standard, and has its lower end secured to the center of the platform by means of clamping-nuts or other suitable devices.

Arranged concentrically on the platform on the inner side of the slotD are bearings G, in which are j ournaled anti-friction rollers H.

I represents a wheel which is j ournaled on the shaft F, is supported at its rim on the rollers H, and is provided on its upper side with beveled gear-teeth K.

Secured rigidly on the platform between the ends of the slot D is a standard, L, in which is journaled a horizontal shaft, M. The inner end of the said shaft is journaled in a bearing, N, that is swiveled on the shaft F. Secured to the shaft M is 'a beveled gear wheel,'O, that engages the wheel I, and also secured to the said shaft, on opposite sides of the wheel 0, are drums or pulleys P R.

T represents a standard that is arranged on the platform and is provided with clampingbolts U, that extend downward through and work in the slot D, and have clamping-nuts V at their lower ends, by which the bolts may be tightened in such manner as to secure the standard on the platform at any desired adj ustment. A shaft, W, has its bearings in the swiveled bearing S and in the standard T, and to this shaft is secured a gear-wheel, X, that engages the wheel I and pulleys Y Z,that are arrangedon opposite sides of the wheel X.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The engine (not shown) has its driving-shaft connected to the shaft M by an endless belt, which may engage either the pulley P or the pulley R, and the machine may be arranged at any desired angle with relation to the engine by adjusting the standard T, the counter-shaft of the machine being connected to the shaft WV by an endless belt, which may engage either the pulley Y or the pulley Z.

My invention is particularly designed to be used for connecting thrashing-machines to steam-engines, and enables the thrashing-machine to be established at any desired angle from the engine, so that the latter may be so arranged with reference to the wind that the sparks and cinders therefrom will be blown from the stack or barn, and thereby avoid the danger of setting fire to the same.

I do not desire to limit myself to the use of my invention in connection with steam-engines and thrashing-machines, as the same may be also advantageously employed in mills,

factories, and for running all kinds of machinery.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- *1. The combination of the platform, the shaft F thereon, the wheel I, loose on the shaft, the rigid standard L, the shaft M, journaled in said standard and having the gear-wheel O engaging the wheel I, and provided, further, with pulleys, one or more, the standard T, secured to and adjustable concentrically on the platform, whereby it may be arranged at any desired angle with relation to the shaft M,

and the shaft W, journaled in the standard T, having the gear-wheel X engaging wheel I, the bearings loose on the shaft F, and in which the inner ends of the shafts M W are journaled, and the pulleys, one or more, substantially as described.

2. The combinaiion of the platform having the concentric slot D, the standard L, the 1nov-.

able standard T, having the clamping-bolts working in the slot D, the central shaft, F, the wheel I, loose thereon, the bearings N S, loose on the shaft F, and the shafts M W, journaled in the standards L T and having their inner ends journaled in the bearings N S, said shafts being provided with the gears engaging Wheel I and also provided with the pulleys, substantially as described.

3. The platform having the curved slot D, the central shaft, F,wheel I, loose thereon, the rollers supporting the rim of the wheel, the rigid standard L, the bearing N, loose on shaft F, the shaft M, j ournaled in standard L and bearing N and having the gear engaging wheel I and the pulleys the standard T, the clamping-bolts working in the slot D to secure said standard to the platform at any desired adjustment, the bearing S, loose on shaft F,

the shaft W, journaled in standard T and in bearing S and having the wheel X engaging Wheel I, and the pulleys, substantially as described. v

4. In combination with the toothed wheel I, the rollers H, for supporting the sameby bearing on the under side thereof, the shaft F, on which the wheel I is loosely mounted, the shaft W, the gear-Wheel X, mounted on the shaft W and engaging the toothed wheel I, and the standard T for the shaft W, adj nstable in a curved line around the wheel I, substantially as described.

5. In combination with the toothed wheel I, the shaft F, on which the wheel I is loosely mounted, the shaft W, the gear-wheel X, mounted on the shaft \V and engaging the toothed wheel I, and the standard T for the shaft W, adjustable in a curved line around the wheel I, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

SANFORD D. KINSEY.
