CARRIER FOR FEED-CUTTERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 575,593, dated January 19, 1897. Application filed February 24, 1896. Serial No. 580,495. (No model.)

At the outer elevated end of the frame of the swivel-carrier K is a rotatable shaft suitably mounted, having at one end a sprocketwheel H and at the opposite end a sprocketwheel 11', while at its center it has a sprocketwheel G, all secured permanently to said shaft. At the opposite end of said carrier is a sprocket-wheel G,lixed toa suitably-mounted rotating shaft. Mounted on the s rocket-s G and G is a drag-chain O, to which are secured carrying-flights N, the chain and flights being hereinafter more fully described. The carrier K is provided with a suitable bottom upon which the chain and flights slide and carry the feed. A pair of legs 7' are attached to the carrier K to support its outer end and hold it in any desired position. They are each provided with a hook-bracket J for supporting the lower end of the extension and elevating carrier L, the latter being supported at its outer end at any desired elevation by means of legs Z, upon which it is adjustable by means of suitable pins and holes to suit.
In constructing our carrier L it is made so as to be readily detachable from the drivingcarrier K. A suitable floor and sides are provided, andat the lower inner end of the frame is suitably mounted in brackets M a rotatable shaft i, extending across the frame so that the ends rest in the hook-bearings of the brackets J. At one end of the shaft is fixed a sprocket-wheel I and at the center of the shaft a sprocket-wheel M. At the opposite elevated end is a short rotatable shaft m, mounted in adjustable brackets M slidable on a base M and controlled by means of a suitable screw, so that the slack in the carrier-chain may be taken up. At the central part of the shaft m is secured thereon a sprocket-wheel M. In some cases the carrier L is made to fold, as shown in Fig. 7, by means of hinges L and is prevented from folding by a hook L at each side, hung to a staple or eye on one part and engaging with another suitable staple on the other part.
The carriers K and L are provided with our improved flights connected by one chain for each carrier. Each flight N consists of a slat N lying flat and a vertical slat N, the two being secured together by means of anglepieces N The chains 0 O, composed of short sections, are connected in the holes n in the slats N, and a suitable recess N is cut out to admit the sprocket-teeth when pass ing over the sprocket-wheels at each end of the frame.
At one end of the shaft 1) is secured a sprocket-wheel C, and at a suitable part on the frame of the cutter is hung a sprocketwheel E; also at another suitable part of the frame is hung a sprocket-wheel D to a suitable bracket d, in which provision is made for adjustment by means of a screw.
In practical use a sprocket-chain runs over to the wheels 0 E F D. A similar chain connects the wheels F and II, and a like chain connects the wheels I l and I. A chain carrying flights runs over the wheels G G, and a like chain and flights run over the wheels M M. Motion is thus transmitted by the sprocket-wheel C to the wheel 1 the wheel It, the wheel F H, chain 0, wheels H and I, and chain 0 simultaneously. When desirable to move the delivery end of the carrier around to any desired angle, the legs are simply lifted slightly from the ground, when the carrier may be readily moved, and when again rested is sufficiently secured.
Having described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
1. In a carrier for feed-cutters, the combination of the base comprising the fixed portion S and the movable portion T, the gearwheel R, the center pin i, the balls 9', the shaft f mounted in the fixed portion, the wheel F, the gear-wheel R meshing with the wheel R, the shaft f, the wheel F, the gearwheel R meshing with the wheel R, the carrier mounted on said base, the elevating-earrier operatively connected to said carrier, and suitable means whereby said wheel F may be driven, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a carrier for feed-cutters, the combination of the base, the lower fixed portion of which has an annular bal1-bearing groove at the upper side of its bottom and a raised annular flange around its bottom; the horizontal gear-wheel having at its under side an annular ball-bearing groove and at its upper side bevel gear-teeth; balls in said grooves; a central pin on which the horizontal wheel is mounted; a shaft mounted horizontally in said lower portion; a bevel gear-wheel mounted on said last-mentioned shaft and engaging said horizontal gear-wheel; the upper portion of said base supported rotatably upon said lower portion; a shaft mounted horizontally therein; a bevel gear-wheel on the inner end of the latter shaft and engaging said horizontal gear-wheel, and suitable wheels at the outer ends of said shafts whereby motion may be received by the lower and transmitted by the upper of said wheels, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
