UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MERRIT o. GATES, or DENIsoN, KANSAS.
HAY LOADER AND STACKER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 431,113, dated July 1, 1890.
Application filed March 25, 1890. $erial No. 345,258- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MERRIT C. GATES, of Denison, Jackson county, Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hay Loaders and Stackers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention relates to improvements in hay loaders and stackers, and may be said to consist in the novel construction of the different parts hereinafter set forth and described by referring to the specifications and claims, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention, showing its different parts in a po-,
sition lifting a bunch of hay.
It will be observed that my hay'loader consists of a mast held in position by three inclined braces attached at the top ends to a collar surrounding the mast. Attached to the mast is a jib properly secured at about one-fifth of its length from the end that extends below the top of the mast. At this lower point I secure two braces, one on each side of the jib, extending downward, at a suitable distance, where their opposite ends are secured firmly to the mast. These braces or stays, it will be seen, hold the horizontal Shaft firmly in position. It will also be seen that in order to add strengthto the jib I use a truss made of an iron rod, firmly bolted at each end, passing over a strut, .the foot of which stands on the jib just opposite the top end of the mast. I then take a rope which I use for hoisting the hay and make one end fast to a staple at the extreme upper end of the jib. I then take the other end of the rope, pass it through the pulley attached to the lifting-prong, thence over another pulley se cured to the jib just below the first fastening. The rope is then passed through a longitudinal opening in the mast, over a pulley near this point, thence down under another pulley which is attached to the swinging end of Sweep or crane, thence over a pulley and attached to a singletree, thence back under another pulley, just below the first one mentioned, attached to the sweep or crane, thence upward and made fast to the staple in the mast. I can now hitch a horse to the singletree and the bunch of hay can be readily hoisted from the ground or from the top of a loaded wagon to any desired height.
It will be observed that my hay-loading device is mounted on a pair of trucks which are made fast to the hind axle of a wagon. This is done in order that my loader can follow after the wagon and gather the hay from the windrow or shock or take it from the stack and place it on the wagon. It canthen be easily taken to the barn and the hay unloaded and placed in the mow. It will also be observed that I have provided a seat in which the mast rests on the tongue of the truck near a junction of the axle. I also provide a collar surrounding the mast, to
which collar the upper ends of three braces are firmly attached, While a plurality of pulleys secured to the band surrounding the mast and bearing upon the inner surface of the collar serve to center the mast and to prevent friction, whereby the mast may be the more readily rotated, and by means of the jib the hay can be gathered up in a radius extending around the machine at some distance before advancing.
Fig. 2 is a detail in perspective of the sweep or crane seen attached in a swingingmanner to the mast just below the collar and the lower end just above the seat of said mast. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective viewof the collar, showing position of the mast passing through the collar with four lugs containing each a pulley which readily lets the mast turn in any desired direction. There will also be seen in this View the three braces firmly secured to the collar.
My object in passing the rope after it leaves the mast down, through, or under the twin pulleys and back to the point above the collar on the mast is to greatly facilitate the rota- .tion of the mast in. lifting the hay from the ground or wagon.
Referring to the drawings by letter, P is a pulley, (seen located between the handles of the prong-fork.)
O O are the two handles.
Y are the prongs of the fork (seen in dotted lines) liftinga bunch of hay, and P the fastening of the rope at the extreme point of the jib.
G is the pulley just below fastening P.
F is an iron rod. forming the truss.
G is a strut, and D a jib.
N is the rope, and Q an opening through mast in which rope passes.
R is a pulley attached to mast over which rope passes, and Z fastening of the end of the rope to mast.
C isthe mast. W is asquare band clamped thereto. V U, a pulley and lug attached to square band.
26 are lugs attached to the collar, in which the upper ends of braces A are attached.
'I is a collar. 1 1
H is the upright portion of the crane or sweep pivotally mounted in the loops h on the and'Athe axle of the truck. 1
7 h h are loops attached to the mast holding crane or sweep in position.
L is the wheel of the truck.
S is a sin-gletree. j a, a, andb are braces holding mast inpo sition. Having thus fully described myinvention,
what I claim as new, and desire to be protected in byLetters Patent of the United States, is
1. In a hay-stacker, the combination, with a mast, of a jib attached to the upper end thereof, a sweep pivoted to the base of the said mast and projecting therefrom, a pulley attached to the jib, pulleys attached to the projecting end of the sweep, and a rope having one end attached to the mast and passing over all of the said pulleys, as described.
2. In a hay-stacker, the combination, with a pivoted mast, of a jib secured to the upper part thereof, a sweep pivoted to the base of the said mast and projecting therefrom, a pulley attached to the jib, pulleys attached to the projecting end of the sweep, a rope passing over all of the said pulleys and having one of its ends attached to'the mast and its opposite end attached to the jib, a collar surrounding the said: mast, braces having their upper-ends attached to the said collar, a band surrounding the mast, and pulleys secured to the said band and bearing upon the inner surface of the said collar, as described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
