SPRING CATCH TONGUE-SADDLE FOR HARVESTERS.
srncrrrcarlon forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,099, dated May 1902- hpplicatlon filed November 14, 1901'. Serial No. 82 179. (No model.)
To ttZZ 1072,0722, it may concern.-
Beitknown that I, JOHN F; STEWARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Spring-Catch Ton gue-Saddle for Harvesters, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forminga part thereof.
My invention relates to means for securing the tongue to the divider end of the platform when the machine is mounted upon a truck for transportation upon narrow roads. Its object is to provide a catch by means of which the tongue may be readily and securely attached to the platform and which at the same time will prevent itfrom being worn thereby.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of the divider end of a grain-harvester, showing the tongue attached thereto. Fig. 2 is an end'elevation of tongue-saddle. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of same.
The catch-saddle A, Figs. 1 and 2, has the body portion A, preferably formed of a single casting. It consists, chiefly, of the base-plate a, upon which it rests and by which it is secured when in use, the web a. substantially at right angles thereto, and the upper bifurcated member a Each part of said bifurcated member is provided with the bosses at and a" Immediately below the bosses a and a the web a is provided with the bosses of and a. A web connecting the boss w, the web a, and the base plate (1' serves to strengthen the whole. Suitable ribs extending from the bosses a and or to the bosses a and a serve to strengthen the parts of the bifurcated member On either side of the base-plate a are the posts a and al, which are provided with'enlarged wearing-surfaces at their top. These wearing-surfaces are in line with the bottom of the opening between the parts of the bifurcated member a the reason for which will later be pointed out. Extending at right angles to the web a and on one side of the base-plate a is the rub A U shaped bolt B is provided with the legs I) and b, the leg I) being somewhat longer than the leg b'. Said legs are adapted to be inserted in suitable holes in the bosses a a", a, and a", respectively. On
the leg I) is placed the coil-spring 73 one end of which is adapted to bear against the boss 0. and the other against the washer b which is held in position by means of the springcotter bfl'which passes through the leg, or other suitable means. The leg I) and the springb bear such a relation to each other that when the bolt B is drawn out against the action of the spring 5 to the fullest extent the end of the leg I) is drawn into the boss a so that it does not cross the opening between the parts of the bifurcated member (1 In Fig. 1, 0 represents aharvester-platform; D, the outside divider; E, the grain-wheel,
and F the draft-tongue asapplied for transportation. Beneath the platform are secured the usual strengthening-angles cand 0. Secured to the tongue F at its rear end is the ironf, and at a proper distance therefrom relative to the distance between the angles 0 and c is secured the catch-saddle A. The angle 0 is provided with a hole or slot adapted to receive the iron f. The opening between the parts of the bifurcated member a is adapted to receive the angle 0, which is provided with a hole to receive the leg I) of the U-bolt B. The angle a rests upon the wearing-surfaces atthe top of the posts a The grainwheel Erests upon the rub-iron a In Fig. 1, however, the wheel is shown in a raised position, so that the saddle may be more readily seen.
To apply the tongue to the harvester for transportatiom -it is simply necessary to in-' sert the end of the iron fin the hole or slot in the angle a, draw the U-bolt B so that the angle cmay be placed in the opening be tween the parts of the bifurcated member a of the catch-saddle A, then insert the leg Z) of the U-bolt B in the holein the angle 0'.- The bolt is held in engagement with the angle by means of the spring b as above de scribed.
This catch-saddle may be used in a variety of Ways. IIenceI do not wish to be limited to its application to a harvester.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In a harvester, the grain-receiving plat form, the said platform having the flanged bar 0', means whereby it may be grasped by a latching device, a bar, as 0, also secured to the said platform and having means by which the end of the tongue may be securely connected to it, the tongue having the attachment at its rear end adapted to engage the said bar 0, and also having upon it a saddle provided with a spring-latch adapted to support and engage the said bar 0, substantially as described.
2. In a harvesting-machine, a latch adapted to connect one part of said machine to another part of said machine, consisting of the body A, secured to one portion of the machine, and having arest to receive another portion of said machine to be held thereby JOHN F. STEWARD.
