SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 560,868, dated May 26, 1896. Application tiled November 8, 1895. Serial No. 568,274. (No model.)
To coll whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, LESTER D. SWART, a citizen of the United States, residing at Auburn, in the county of' Cayuga and State of New York, have invented certainl new and useful Improvements in Corn-I-Iusking Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ot the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains t make and use the same.- j
My invention consists in the novel features hereinafter described, reference bein ghad to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate one form in which I have contemplated embodyin g my invention, and said invention is fully disclosed in the following` description and claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure l represents an end View, partly in section, of a corn-bushing machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of the machine. Fig. 3 is a detail viewshowing the position of the strap and bolster when the end of the machine is in raised position.
The object of my invention is to provide means for more conveniently regulating or adjusting the pitch of the bushing-rollers. Under certain conditions it is necessary to give a considerable angle to the huskingrollers, so that the ears will pass quickly oft' of the same. At other times it is desirable to have said rollers supported in a more nearly horizontal position, so that the ears may be retained Ylonger upon the rollers to enable the latter to thoroughly strip the husks from the ear. In this class of machines it is customary to mount the bushing-rollers in a frame which is pivotally secured in the frame of the machine at its upper end and is adj ustable vertically at its lower end. i The objection to this method of adjustment is that the frame holding the rollers, being separate from the frame of the machine, must be rigidly stayed to the machine-frame after it is adjusted.
According to my invention the huskingrollers A are mounted in bearings supported directly by and in the main fra-ine of the machine, and I provide adjusting devices at the rear end of the machine for positively adjusting the machine-frame itself when it is necessary to adjust or vary the pitch of the husking-rolls. In this instance I have shown the rear end of the frame ofthe machine secured to its supporting-bolster B by a strap B', which is pivotally connected to the sill ofthe main iframe at each side ot the machine, these straps being so arranged as to permit the raising and lowering of the frame. The frame is raised and lowered by means of ad justin g-screws C C, which engage suitable nuts secured to the sills D of the main frame. By the use of the strap B the body of the machine is securely held to the bolster or support and at the same time the necessary adjust-ment is provided.
In the machine illustrated in the drawings there is no reach, and the bolster and front axle are therefore at liberty to assume different positions with respect to the main body of the machine, as indicated in Fig. 3,
which shows the position of the parts when the end of the machine has been raised by its adjusting devices.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. In a corn-husking machine the combination with the main body of the machine and the husking-rollers mounted in bearings rigidly secured therein, of a supporting-truck for the machine including among its inembers a horizontal bolster adjacent to one end of said rollers, straps connected to said bolster and pivotally secured to the main body of the machine, and adjusting devices for raising the main body above said bolster, while leaving it connected therewith by said straps, to adjust said bushing-rollers, substantially as described.
2. In a corn-husking machine the combination with the main body of the machine, and the bushing-rollers mounted in bearings rigidly secured therein, of a supporting-truck for said main body including among its members a horizontal bolster located beneath said main body adjacent to one end of said husking-rollers, straps rigidly secured to said bolster at one end and having their other ends pivotally connected With said main body and the adjusting-screws on the said main body and engaging said bolster, whereby the end of said main body and said rollers can be adj usted with respect to said bolster Without affecting its connection therewith, substantiztlly as described. 1o
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
LESTER D. SWART. Vitnesses:
CHARLES B. QUICK, WALTER L. FAY.
