IGNOR To Letters Patent No. 85,349, dated December 29, 188.

IMPROVEMENT IN HARVESTERS.

The Schedule referred :ln these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all 'whom it 'may conce/rn:

I, GEORGE W. N. YOST, of Corry, Erie county, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Climax-Body Leveran improvement 011 my climax-body4-f0r Grass and Grain-Cutting Machines.

The following description, illustrated by the accompanying drawings, will enable others to make the invention, description vand drawings having corresponding specifying-characters.

Figure 1 of the drawings isa combined view of my climax-body and climax-body lever attached.

Figures 2, 3, and 11 are views ofdetached parts of the climax-body-lever apparatus.

' A and A are cases forming my'climax-body.

C is a lid ofthe opening of the body.

D is a rib along the middle of the outside ofv each case.

E is the main axle-hub in the middle of each case.

G and G' are the main axles, and f I is a bolt through the hubs F of the body.

Make a socket-collar, Y and E', the collar E part thereof six inches long, more or less, with. the hole through it, or ring large enough to go on and work loosely over4 the main axle G', and the socket Y' part thereof fifteen inches long, more or less, and three and a half inches wide, and an-inch deep inside, all more or less, with ears, y', on the sides, near the fore end,-for holes for a bolt or pin to gorthrough. I make this in one piece of cast-iron.

Make a tongue, Y, suitable for horses, and fasten the hind end thereof in the socket Y', by the bolts 'b' and pin p, through the tongue and socket, or by any desired obvious way.

Pivot the tongue Y to the main axle-G' by putting the tongue-collar E over the axle, the tongue and socketecollar being made practically one instrument by being attached, and the collar being only ahole in the hind end vof the tongue. I

To the top of the collar E', near the edge next the case attach the arcs e', set half an inch, more or less, apart, three-eighths of an inch thick, an inch wide, and six inches high, all more or less, and udth notches three-eighths of an inch, more or less, wide and deep, and three-fourths of an inch apart, more or-less, in and laterally across the outer edges, projecting up and circling forward. A simple way is to make the arcs of Wrought7-iron, and mould and pour the echar around them of castiron.

From the outer e'dge of the fore end of the rib, D, of the case A', upand circling back, project a slotted segment, 1, an inch thick, three inches wide, and seven inches high, all more or less, with the slot, an inch wide,

and siX inches long, more or less, laterally through it. Thi'smay be cast with the case A', and be supported by ribs, 2 and 2', onland across the lib D, connecting the edges of the arch with the case.

Make a support, 3, au inch thick, an inch anda half wide, and six inches long, all' more or less, and pivot it perpendicularly at the edge of the rib, D, of the case A', midway between the slotted segment 1 and the main axle-hub E, with the top nearly on a level with the top of the arch l.

The support 3 may be pivoted to the rib D by extending the bolt I through the forward hub, F of the case, A', and through a hole in the bottom of the support, to work loosely over the end of the bolt for that purpose.

Make a lever yor bar, Q, half an inch thick, one and. a half inch wide, and three feet long, all more or less.

Fasten and pivot the fore end of the bar Q to the tongue Y. This may be done simply by extending the bolt or pin p' out from the tongueY and socket Y', through and working loosely in a hole in the fore end of the lever.

Attachy the tongueA` Yv and barl Qsto the A slotted seg--A ment 1 by extending the pin p through the slot, with a broad head on the inner end of the pin, the pin to work loosely within the slot.

Pivot the bar Q to the top of the support 3, with the har between the arcs e.

Make a trigger, 4, one-fourth of an inch thick, half an inch wide, and 'seven inches long, all more or less, with two inches, more or less, of the fore end bent up at aright angle.

'Pivot the top of the bent end of the trigger 4 to the bar Q, sfix inches, more or less, forward of the hind end thereof, by putting the bent end of the trigger up into a' slot made for that purpose in the bar, with a pivotpin through bar and slot and trigger, or -by bifurcating the bent end of the trigger and lapping the forks over the bar, with pivot-pin through forks and bar, or by any obvious way.

Make a loop, 6, under the bar or less, backof the arcs e'.

Make Aa trigger-rod, 5, one-fourth of an inch in diameter, and twelve inches long, more or less.

Make a pawl, 7 ,'-three-eighths of an inch thick and one and a fourth inch wide and deep, al1 more or less,

Q, two inches, more and forge or attach it rigidly to the fore end of the trigger-rod 5.

, loosely on the hind end of the trigger, and attach the other end rigidly to the under edge of the bar Q, back of the pivot of the trigger 4, and set the spring so its tension will press the hind end of the trigger' as far from the bar as possible.

Clasping the hand round and bringing the trigger up against the hind endoi' the bar Q, -will swing the fore end of the trigger 4 backhalf an inch, more or less, and pull the pawl 7 out of a notch in the arcsec'.

Unelnsping the trigger will permit the spring '8 to press its h ind end down and swing its fore end forward and push the pztwl into a. notch of the aros. This allows the- ,lever (1l to be set in any' desired position within the zu'es {.When the'tongue Y is firmly held, lifting the hind und or hnndle of the lever Q, will raise the fore end of the bod) A and A', and the points of the knives ofthe outtiilg-inziehiner)- thereto attached, :nld lowerlngthe lever-handle will lower the foro end of the body nid the points of the knives of the cutting-machinery. And the driver, setting over the hind end ofthe body .1Xn.11d.\',czn1reaehthe handle ofthe lever Q,zn1d therewitlnby raising or lowering it, regulate the out' ofthe cutting-knives'.

` 'lhe nature of the invention is, connecting the bodY A and A und tongue Y by a lever, Q, within reach of :i driver sitting over the hind end of the body, to raise and lower the points of the knives of the cutting-mabinittion described I think new; l know it is useful,

and 1 limit myself thereto. IherefOre,

I claim the combina-tion and :t1-ran gement of the lever Q with the ares e', the bodyA and A, the tongue Y, the tongue-collar E', amd th'e niuin :Lxle Gr', made and used :is described, for gru-ss nud grain-cutting machines.
