HEADBOARD FOR GRAlN-HARVESTERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,396, dated A g s 16, 1904.

Application filed April 13, 1904.

To (LZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLEs DonRINe, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Odessa, Kherson, Empire of Russia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Headboards for Grain-Harvesters, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to headboards for grain-harvesters, whereby the heads of the grain are adjusted as they move over the binder-deck, and has for its object to provide a headboard that is simple in construction, that can be readily adjusted to diiferent lengths of grain, and that will not clog with straw or chaff.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a rear View of parts of a grain-binder and the deck, showing my improved headboard attached. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Fig. 3 is a detail View showing the manner of adjustment and attachment to the binder deck, taken from the line as w of 1. Fig. 4: is a detail section on the line y 3 of Fig. 2.

In the drawings, A and A represent the upper and lower eievatorframes of a grain harvester and binder of the usual type.

B represents the binder-deck, over which the cut grain passes to the binder mechanism, which has been omitted in the drawings, but which would be near the outer edge and center of the binder-deck, as usual.

C is a U-shaped support embracingv the binder-deck B, its lower arm 0 adjustably mounted in a bearing a, secured to the lower side of the binder-deck, and held in its various adjustments by a setscrew 6/. The upper arm 0 projects forwardly over the binderdeck B, and its end is bent at right angles to form a pivotal support 71 for the headboard D.

The headboard D, preferably made of sheet metal, is curved outwardly at its inner end and strengthened against undue flexure by a bar 7) bolted to the center of the headboard D and extending its entire length. A casting E is secured to the headboard D and forms a socket for the vertical part 6, on which the board D is supported and turned. The upper end of the castingEis spread into Serial No. 203,020. (No model.)

a semicircular flange F, having on its edge a series of pro ections or teeth 6. A coiled spring 5 encircles the part I) above the casting E, the upper end 0 being secured to the part b and the lower end resting on the top of the casting and projecting therefrom in a straight arm 6, which engages with the teeth e. It will be readily understood that shifting the arm 6 to different positions between the series of teeth 0 will control the swinging adjustment of the headboard D by increasing or diminishing the tension of the spring 6. By loosening the set-screw a the U-shaped support C can be moved in or out, carrying with it the board D to any position the length of the grain may require and where it can be secured by tightening the set-screw a. The headboard D is held entirely above the deck B by the support C,, only sufficient space being left between the headboard and deck to prevent the accumulation of straw or chaff.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a grain-harvester, the combination with the binder-deck, of a support secured to the under side thereof and projecting above the deck, and a headboard mounted on said support.

2. In a grain-harvester, the combination with the binder-deck,of an adjustable support secured to the under side thereof and projecting above the deck, and an adjustable headboard mounted on said support.

3. In a grain-harvester, the combination with the binder-deck, of a support secured to the under side thereof and projecting above the deck, and a headboard pivotally mounted on said support.

4:. In a grain-harvester, the combination with the binder-deck, of a support secured to the under side thereof and projecting above the deck, and a headboard mounted on the support, said support and headboard adjustable forwardly and rearwardly relatively to the binder-deck,

5. In a grain-harvester, the combination with the binder -deck, of a support secured to 4 the under side thereof, an arm of said support above and parallel with the binder-deck and a headboard carried by said arm.

6. In a grain-harvester, the combination with the binder-deck, of a support secured to the under side thereof,an arm of said support above the binder-deck and parallel thereto, the endof the arm being bent to form a pivot, and a headboard on the pivot.

7. In a grain-harvester, the combination with the binder-deck, of a support secured to the under side thereof,an arm of said support above the binder-deck, the end of the arm bent to form a pivot, a casting embracing said pivot, and a headboard rigidly secured to the casting.

8. In a grain-harvester, the combination With the bindendeck, of a support secured to the under side thereof, an arm of the support above the binder-deck, the end of the arm bent to form a pivot, a casting embracing said pivot, a headboard secured to the casting, and a spring fast to the pivot and engaging With the casting.

9. In a grain-harvester, the combination With the binder-deck, of a U-shaped support secured to the under side of the deck, and a headboard carried by said support.

10. In a grain-harvester, the combination With a binder-deck, of a bearing fast to the under side thereof, carrying an arm of a support adjustably held therein, an arm of said support above the binder-deck and a headboard pivoted on said upper arm.

11. In a grain-harvester, the combination with a binder-deck, of a bearing fast to the under side thereof, carrying an arm of a U- shaped support adjustably held therein, an arm of said support above the binder-deck and parallel thereto and a headboard pivoted on said upper arm.

12. In a grain-harvester, the combination with a binder-deck, of a U-shaped support embracing the rear of the deck, one arm of said support adjustably secured to and be neath the deck, an arm extending over and parallel With the deck the end thereof bent to form a pivot, a casting movable on the pivot, a headboard rigidly secured to said casting, and a coiled spring fast to the pivot and engaging With teeth on the casting.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand,this 252d day of March, 1904:, in the presence of two attesting Witnesses.

CHARLES DOERING.
