Horse Rake.
Patented Aug. 30, 1864,
'rhs numus PETERS cc, WASHINGTON, n. c.
UNITED STATES PATENT 'Ormea S. EBERLY, OF MECHANIGSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-RAKES.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent N0. 43.9%), -dated August 30,1864.
vl'ad to the accompanying drawings, making a part ot' this specitication, in which- Figure l is a side sectional view of my invention, 'taken in the line iv Fig. 2, Fig. 2, a plan or top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate correy spending parts in the two figures.
This inven tion relates to a new and improved horse-rake of that class in which wire teeth are used; and it consistsin an improved mode ot' operating the rake--that is to say, raising.
and lowering it so that it may discharge its load, and keeping it in proper position while performing its work.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
A represents an axle having a wheel, B, on each end of it, and thills C attached to its front side. These parts may be constructed in rthe usual way, and therefore do not require a minute description.
D represents a shaft, which is supported by uprights a on the axle A and on this shaft there are placed a series of hubs, b, which are allowed to turn freely thereon, and have each a wire rake-tooth, E, attached to them. These rake-teeth are curved and constructed in the usual'way, and each tooth passes through a hole, c, in a bar, F, which has arms d attached to it, thefront ends of said arms being fitted loosely on the shaft D. One of these arms dthe central one-is attached to a bar, G, which projects in front of the shaft D, and has a weight, H, on its front end, said weight serving as a counterpoise, for the rake, so that the latter may bereadily raised in order to discharge its load and gradually or gently lowered to its work, .the bar F servin g to connect the rake-teeth with the said bar G.
I is an upright lever, the lower end ot which is attached to the bar Gr. This lever extends upward by the side of the drivers seat J, within convenient reaching distance of the driver.
K is a lever, which has its fulcrnm e at the upper end of an upright rod, f, the .lower end ot' which is attached to one side ot' a platform, g, at the back part of the-thills C. The back end of this lever K is bent, as shown at It, and projects underneath the bar G; and its front end is also bent, as shown at i, to serve asa foot-piece for the driver'. y The rakefteeth, it will be seen, are elevated by shovingI forward the lever I and lowered by drawing it back or pressing down the front end of the lever K with the foot. This lever K, however, is chiefly designed for keeping the rake-teeth down to their work, so as to insure the same being properly done. The weight H causes the rake to b e operated with the greatest ease and facility, and hence the necessity forthe foot-lever K, for, in consequence of the rake being nearly balanced, it might casually rise or be thrown upward by slight obstructions or inequalities in the surface of the ground. The usual rake-cleaning arms, a", are att-ached to the axle A.
Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The bar F, provided with holes c for the rake-teeth E to pass gthrough, and connected by arms d. to the shaft D, on which the hubs b ot' the rake-teeth are fitted or placed loosely, in combination with the bar G, provided with the weight or--counterpoise H, the upright lever I, and foot-,lever K, all arranged and applied to operate substantially in the manner as set forth.
