UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
STEPHEN BOWERMAN, `OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON-STALK HARVESTERS.
Specication forming part Letters Patent No. 7,677, dated October 1, 1850.
To all whom zt may concern.-
Be it known that I', STEPHEN BowERMAN, ot' the city of Detroit, county of Wayne, and State of Michigan,'have invented a new and improved useful machine for extracting, cotton-stalks from land after the cotton has been gathered; and Ido declare that the following is a full and exact description.
The nature of my invention `consists in the construction of a frame of suitable width to pass between the rows or drills, and mounted ou wheels for the purpose of being propelled by any power applied to it, which frame is also provided with two wheels, and attached to said frame by means ot' upright shafts in such a manner as will allow them to revolve with ease. Said wheels are provided with teeth attached to their rims, (notl unlike large saw# teeth.) These wheels are made of a sufficient diameter to project far enough from the sides ofthe frame to allow the teeth to come in contact with the stalks, which are extracted by the operation of drawing the machine between the rows ordrills.
To enable others-skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it-s construction and operation, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective of the machine; Fig. 2, two ot' the teeth, showing their positions in the wheels; Fig. 3 showing the under side of said teeth.
A A are two pieces of timber of any required length and size to supportthe wheels without springing. These timbers are connected together by cross-pieces b b. Upon these cross pieces are firmly attached two pieces of timber, c c, ruiming parallel with and directly over A A, having a space between the two suiiiciently large to allow the wheels g g lower end ot' which is supported by A A, the
upper end by c c.
jj are two triangular-shaped irons attached to the frame over the wheels g g.
The operation of the machine is as follows: Power is applied to the stirrupfand the machine is drawn between the rows or drills of cottonpl'ants, the stalks of which are grasped by the teeth ot' the wheels g g and extracted from the ground, and are carried backv until they come in contact with the triangular pieces j j, which disengage them from the teeth.
Figs. 2 and 3 represent the teeth of wheels g g as being sharp on their upper edge, so as to prevent the stalks from slipping.
What l claim as my inventiomand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination ot' two saw-teeth Wheels with the frame, and supported thereby, and the triangular pieces of iron for disengaging the stalks, in the manner and for the purposes herein set forth.
STEPHEN BOWERMAN.
