JOSHUA'B. SLUTZ, OF FREDERIOKSBURG, OHIO.
BAND-CUTTER AND FEEDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 689,992, dated December 31, 1901.
Application iiled September 3, 1901. Serial No. 74,085. (No model.)
.To @ZZ whom. z'fl; 71mg/ concern.'
Be it known that I, JOSHUA B. SLUTZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fredericksburg, Wayne county, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bland-Cutters and Feeders; and I do hereby `declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View. Fig. 2 is a transverse section showing the delivery end of the device. Figf is a transverse section showing one side of the frame and a portion of the band-cutting mechanism. Fig. 4 is a detached view of one of the band-cutting knives. Fig. 5 is a side elevation. Fig. 6 is a view showing one of the straw-distributers and a transverse section of the reciprocating bar and the :[ixed bar. Fig. 7 is an enlarged view showing one of the adjustable posts and its guide. Fig. 8 is a transverse section of one of the adjustable posts and guide.
The present invention has relation to bandcutters and feeders; and it consists in the different parts and combination ot' parts hereinafter described in the drawings.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
In the accompanying drawings, l represents the side members, which constitute a part of the frame and are located parallel one with the other and spaced from each other. It will be understood that the frame proper should be formed of a width to correspond substantially with the width of the threshingmachine into which the bundles or sheaves are to be fed.
For the purpose of holding the members 1 the proper distance apart the bottom 2 is provided, which also serves or assists in holding the upper member of the bundle-conveyer 3 in proper position and to prevent the same from sagging between the ends of the conveyer proper.
To the delivery end of the frame proper is journaled the shaft 4, upon which shaft is located the power-wheel 5 and the pulley G, said power-wheel and pulley being preferably located side by side; but this is immaterial, as it is only a matter of convenience in arranging the pulleys.
Upon the shaft 4 and the shaft 7 are mounted pulleys 8, said pulleys being located between the inner faces of the side members l, and around which pulleys the endless conveyer 3 is located, the bottom 2 being located between the upper and lower members of the eonveyer 3.
To the side members 1 or their equivalents are connected and securely fixed the guideposts 9 and 10, the guide-post 10 being located near the cylinder end of the frame and the guide-post 9 located toward the forward or feeding end of the frame.
Vithin the guide-posts 9 and l0 are located the adjustable bars 11 and 12, said adjustable bars being so arranged that they will move up and down for the purpose hereinafter described. To the bars ll is journaled the crank-shaft 13, upon which crank-shaft is mounted the pulley 14, said pulley being rotated by means of the belt 15, which in turn imparts rotary motion to the crank-shaft 13.
Upon the crank-shaft 13 are journaled the band-cutting knives 16, which band-cutting knives are substantially of the forln shown in the drawings, and, as shown, their bottom or lower ends are provided with the downwardextending point 17 and the cutting-blade 18. The cutting-knives 1G are each provided with the bars 19, which bars move up and down in the tubes 20, which tubes are pivoted at their top or upper ends to the bar 2l, which bar is carried by the bar 11.
It will be understood that as the compound shaft 13 is rotated it will carry with it the cutting-knives 1G and by providing the knives 16 with the bars 19 and locating the bars in the tubes 20 that an oscillating or swinging movement will be imparted to the tubes and the knives move up and down and backward and forward in a given orbit, the motion of the knives being so geared as to speed with reference to the conveyer 3 that as the bundles of grain are moved forward upon the conveyer no band of any bundle will be missed by the cutting-knives 16, this being accomplished by the width of the knives and rapidity of their movement in reference to the rapidity of the movement of the endless conveyer.
IfO
To the adjustable bars 12 is connected the cross-bar 22, to which cross-bar are pivotally connected the tines 23, which tines are curved toward the cylinder end ot the frame and are so curved for the purpose of offering less resistance to the moving of the straw as it is carried upon the endless conveyer to the cyiinder of a threshing-machine. The tines 23 are extended upward above the bar 22, and to their upper ends is connected the reciprocating bar 24, to which reciprocating bar is pivotally connected the pitman 25, said pitman being journaled upon the crank 26,which crank is formed upon the shaft 27, said shaft being extended toward the feeding end of the device and is provided with the beveled gearwheel 28, which beveled gear-wheel meshes with the beveled gear-wheel 29, said beveled gear-wheel 29 being fixed upon the crankshaft 13. It will be'understood that as the shaft 27 is rotated the tines will be swung back and forth across the top of the conveyer, by which arrangement the straw will be distributed or brought into proper position to be carried to the cylinder of a threshing-machine.
For the purpose of providing vertical adjustment for the cutting-knivesl and the Lines 17 the bars 11 and 12 are adjustable up and down, so that the distance between the eXtreme lower movements of the knives 16 and the bottoms of the tines 23 and the top of the endless conveyer 3 can be varied, this being necessary in order to compensate for different-sized bundles or for any other purpose. For the purpose of providing adjustment for the bars 1l and 12, together with the different parts carried by said bars, each of the guide- posts 9 and 10 is provided with the teeth 30, which teeth mesh with the pinions 31 and 32, the pinion 3l being secured to the bar 2l, which bar is provided with a suitable crank, such as 33.
For the purpose of elevating the bars 12 a bar 34 is provided, which bar 34 carries the pinion 32, and of course when said bar is rot-ated by the crank 35 the bars 12 will be elevated or lowered, reference being had to the direction of rotation.
For the purpose of holding the pinions 3l and 32 against rotation and at the same time holding the bars 11 and 12 in Vfixed vertical adjustment the catch-dogs 36 are provided, which catch-dogs in this instance are simply pivoted bars to engage the teeth of the pinions. 1 do not, however, desire to be coniined to this peculiar manner of holding the bars in fixed adjustment, as it will be understood that many ways may be provided for doing this without departing from the nature of my invention.
It will of course be understood that when it is desired to change the adjustment of the bars 11 and 12, together with the different parts carried thereby, the dogs 36 must be disengaged from their respective pinions. l
By providing the blades 18 with the downward-extending points` 17 said points will be entered into the straw and prevent the conveyer from moving the bundle from under the cutting-blades and at the same time assist in moving the bundle forwardwith the forward movement of the conveyer.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters vertically-adjustable bars havngfixed therei to a rod or bar and adjustable with the vertically-adjustable bars, tines pivoted to the rod or bar and curved at their bottom or lower portion, a reciprocating bar connected to the upper ends of the tines, and means for imparting a swinging movement to the tines, a crank-shaft having journaled thereto a series of cutting-blades, said cutting-blades provided with downwardly-extending points and cutting edges, tubes pivoted at their upper ends to an adjustable bar, and reciprocating bars located in the tubes and means for holding the adjustable bar and crank-shaft in ixed adjustment, substantiallypas andfor the purpose speciiied.
In testimony that 1 claim the above 1 have hereuntosubscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses. J
JOSHUA B. SLUTZ.
