Description
`UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE...
IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-HARVESTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent ITO. 54,951, dated May 22, 1866.
To all whom it mag) concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. PRALL, of Knoxville, in the county of Knox and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and useful Machine for Cutting (Jorn and Gane; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification.
Figure 1 represents a perspective View; Fig. 2, a cross-section Fig. 3, a side elevation, and Fig. 4 the circular cutter of the machine.
A represents the main carriage and driving wheel, with an inner toothed Wheel that drives the pinion B, that revolves the shaft C, and bevel-Wheel D, that gears into bevel-wheel E, that operates the horizontal Vcircular cutter G. There is a carriage-wheel, H, on the opposite side of the carriage-axle, that is smaller than the driving-Wheel, but keeps the machine running on a level.
I is the tongue of the machine. J are the guides, that are spread open when the Inachine is advancing against the ocrnstalks, and as the stalks are cut off by the cutter G the operator, standing on the platform K, receives them at the opening of the railingLand collects them in a sheaf and pushes` them off in the rear opening of the railing.
A brace, M, firmly attached to the under side of the carriage-axle, supports the beve1- pinion E of the cutter-shaft and a frictionroller, P, that balances the cutter G and gives ease to the motion of the cutter.
The right-hand guide J moves on a pivotbolt in the carriage-axle, and has a cutter-bar, It, at top, and a lip, S, that catches into the ratchet edge or rim Q ofthe under side of the cutter, for the purpose of stopping the motion ofthe cutter G.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the cutter provided with the ratchetedge upon its under side, cutterbar R, provided with a lip, S, and frictionwheel P, when arranged and operated substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
' WM. E. PRALL.
