INSECT-DESTROYING APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part ef Letters Patent No. 692,672, dated February 4, 1902. Application inea october 5, 190,1. serial No. 77,694. (No modela To a/ZZ whom it may concern.'
Be it known that we, RUDOLPH JOOST and BENTLEY T. GEORGE, residing at Gates, in the county of Marion and State of Oregon, have invented a new and Improved Insect-Destroyin g Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention seeks to provide asimple, inexpensive, efficient, and easily-manipulated means for killing hop-lice, worms, and other insects that injure and destroy cereals,fruits, vegetables, trees, &c. and our invention in its generic nature comprehends a' carriage or frame adapted to stra'ddle the rows of young rear axle and only one of said bolts to engage l plants,trees, &c., a vertically-ad j ustable frame mounted thereon andadaptedV to support av vtent or hood made of cotton fabric to en velop or house up the plant, vegetable, hopvine, or tree being fumigated, and a furnace for generating chemically-treated smoke and fumes, also mounted inthe carriage and movable therewith.
In its more subordinate features our inventionincludes certain novel details of construction and peculiar combination of parts, all of lwhich will hereinafter be first described in detail and then be specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying-drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view'of our invention, showing the manner of its use. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section thereof on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is ahorizontal section on VYthe line 4 4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail View of the blower-holding bracket. Figs. 6 and 7 are detail views of the shifting clutch mechanism hereinafter referred to.v
In the drawings, in which like numerals indicate like parts in all the figures, l designates a front truck-frame and 2 a rear truckframe, each of which consists of an arched axle l, having end spindles lb to receive the carrier-wheels lc.
3 designates a tent-supporting frame,which consists of. the front and rear end bars 3a 3b, that extend transversely of the carriage, and said bars are of such length that their ends project beyond the wheels 1c le, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, the reason for which will presently appear. The front bar 3a is centrally supported on a long king-bolt 4, that passes down 'through the crown of the front arched axle,
which at its crown portion has a pendent hub 5, apertured to receive a clamping pin or bolt 6, also adapted to pass through any one of a series of apertures 4Xin the front bolt 4, as shown in Fig. 2. The rear bar has two long bolts `4n 4a, that pass down through a pair of apertures in the crown of the rear axle, and these boi-ts are also apertured, as at 4V, to receive the clamping pins or bolts 6iL 6, that also engage the apertures in the hubs 5a 5.
By using two vertical bolts to engage the be held from running awryor wabbling, and` yet permit of the front axle being turned for guiding.
To hold the front axle from turning when it is desired that the entire apparatus is to run straight ahead, a supplemental hole is made in the front bar to register with a supplemental aperture yin the axle, said apertures being intended to receive a lock or key pin. y
By supporting the bars on the axle properly justed vertically to suit the height of the plants or vines and young trees. For high trees the vertical bolts may be formed of sections clamped together to get the height desired.
8 designates a skeleton frame consisting of the arch ends 8, made fast to the end bars 3 3b, the side bars 8b, and the central or crown :'bar 8, that extends lengthwiseand connects with the crown of the arched ends 8, the said parts forming a simple, light, and durable means for supporting a`covering or tent 9 of light fabric and consisting of an upper part 9? and pendent ends and sides 9b 9, which in th`e' practical construction may have reeting means, A buttonholes, or ties (not shown) for tucking up the bottom edges, whereby to adjust the pendent portion of the tent tosuit the vertical adjustment of the frame 8 and to 4keep the lower edges of the tent from drag- O'infr o. a-
10 des1gnates a burner or furnace for creating the fumigant and for producing a quick meml bers, as described, they can be readily ad- IOO and powerful smoke and vapor. A blower 11 is also mounted on the carriage by suspending it from the rear axle. A means for operating it is also provided, consisting of a cam or crank member 12 on a shaft 12, having a crank-receiving end whereby it can be rotated by hand-power when desired. It also has a belt-wheel 12b, connected by a belt 13 with a drive-pulley 14 on the rear axle. This pulley is shiftably mounted on the axle to engage or be moved out of engagement with a clutch-hub on said axle.
Byhaving the blower-operating cam device connected with the axle it can be automatically operated to effect a blower` action during the movement of the apparatus over the field or thrown out of gear with the axle, as desired.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings, the advantages of our invention are apparent. It will be noticed that the tent can be readily detached from the supporting parts, and by reason of the adjustability of the fra me S the apparatus can be quickly adjusted for plants, trees, dac., of different heights and the housing made to fit to close over same as to concentrate the fumigant quickly and electively.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secu re by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with the front and rear arched axles, and the verticallyadjustable frame S, said frame having a single pendent bolt or rod at the front adapted to form the pivot or king bolt for the front axle, and having a plurality of rods for slidably connecting with the rear axle, for the purposes specified.
2. The combination with the front and rear arched axles; of the frame 8, consisting of cross-bars, the ends of which are adapted to project beyond the sides of the carriage, said bars having pendent members vertically adjustable on the arched axle, curved cross-bars and longitudinal members, and a flexible covering, adapted to hang pendently over the sides and ends of the carriage and supported on the frame 8, for the purposes described.
3. An improved insect-destroying apparatus,comprising a carriage having front and rear arched axles, a furnace mounted on the carriage, a blower for said furnace, means controlled by one of the drive-axles for operating the blower, a frame projected up from the carriage and a flexible covering detachably suspended from the frame to envelop the entire apparatus, for the purposes specified.
4. The combination with the front and rear arched axles, the frame 8, vertically adjustable on said axles, the detachably-held ilexible covering, the furnace carried on the carriage-frame, a blower, a cam device for operating the blower, including a winding-shaft and clutch mechanism on one of the driveshafts, geared with said winding-shaft, all being arranged substantially as shown and for the purposes described.
