T0 at whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, STEPHEN HU'LLS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Neola, in the county of Pottawattamie and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Corn-Cutting Device, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of corncutting devices whichare adapted to be attached to and supported by an ordinaryfarmwagon and to be carried by such wagon over the field, the wagon movin adjacent to the corn-row and the cutting evice being supported in such a position that the stalks Will be severed at a suitable distance above the ground, the severed stalks being placed in the wagon by an attendant seated upon the cutting device.
The object of the invention is to resent a device of the character described w 'ch shall possess superior advantages in point of simplicity of construction, durability, and general efficiency.
With these and other ends in view, which will be hereinafter described, the invention consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter specified and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the improved corn-cuttmg device attached to a farm-wagon in position for operation. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the corn-cutting device detached. Fig. 3 is a top plan view illustrating a slight modification. Fig. 4 is a sectional detail view taken on the plane indicated by the line 4 4 in Fig. 2.
Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated throughout by similar characters of reference.
The frame of the improved corn-cutting device is composed of two beams 1 and 2,
laced together at a suitable angle and amed or otherwise suitably secured together at their meeting ends. The inner ends of the frame-beams are provided with hooks 3, adapted for detachable engagement with eyebolts 4, which are connected with the reach 5 of an ordinary farm-wagon, as 6.
The frame-beams, as will be seen, converge outwardly from the reach to a point or a ex 7. On said frame-beams is secured a p atform 8, constructed of ordinary planks, nailed or otherwise secured upon the frame- -readilyunderstood. As theb bars. The platform 8 is triangular in shape. The front portion of said platform is extended well in advance of the front supporting-beam 1, especially at the inner e ge of said platform, the outer corner of the plat- ,form coinciding with the outer corner 7 of the supporting-frame. Upon the latform 8 is su ported a blade or cutter 9, t e edge of whic extends in front of the front edge of the platform. The platform of the device supports a seat 10 for the operator.
11 is an eyebolt or hook which extends through the platform into the rear framebeam, and which is adapted to be connected by means of a chain 12 with a hook 13 secured upon the outer side of the wagon-box 6.
The platform 8 is preferably provided near its front edge with a shallowrecess 14, affording a seat for the blade 9, which latter may thus be securely connected with the platform by means of light bolts, as 15.
As will be seen by reference to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the frame-beams 1 2 are preferably placed at an angle to each other approximately ninety degrees. As will be seen by reference to Fig. 3, however, the said framebeams may be disposed at an acute angle with relation to each other, the rear frame-beam2 being then located at approximately right angles to the reach, with which it is connected for operation.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the roved corn-cutting device is of an extreme y simple construction, enabling it to be manufactured and marketed at very small expense. Its operation will be ade passes into engagement with the stalks of standing corn the stalks will be severed and will fall into the arms of the operator, who is seated upon the platform, and who may deposit them in the wagon-box at either end of the latter, the device being connected with the runninggear in a position intermediate the ends of the wagon-box, so that it will not be necessary to station an attendant upon the wagon for the purpose of piling the corn therein. It is obvious that within the sco e of the inven tion a rack of any suitable klnd may be substituted for the wagon-box. While it is intended that the platform of the device shall be carried in a practically level position, it is obvious that adjustment may be had by means of the supporting-chain 12 engaging the hook 13.
Having thus described the invention, What is claimed is A corn-cutting device having a frame consisting of two beams secured together at an angle and having terminal hooks at their iner ends, a cutter-supporting platform upon olts for engagement with the terminal hooks I of the frame-bars, and a supporting-hook u on the Wagon-box for engagement with the 0 am.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature 15 in the presence of two Witnesses.
