Letters Patent No. 983.097, dated December 2d, 186i).

u IMPROVEMENT IN HA-.Y-ELEV'ATORS.

' The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and'mking part of the name.

To all whom it may concern:

had to the annexed drawings, making apart of this specification, in which-- Figure l is a perspective view. y

Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, are sectional views.

The plan of my invention will be readily seen by referring to the drawings.

I construct my derrick on a verycheap scale, com posed of plain, square timbers, of proportionate size, in dimensions to snit the farmer-s use-, l,

First, I take two pieces of timber, and frame' them across each other, for sills. Second, fournpright posts, with braces, to form a frame for the revolving beam. Third, a cap to the posts may be made of heavy timber-,cutting the niortises for the post'sdagonally.

across the grain of the wood, (or it may be made of cast-iron.) Fourth, one ofthe upright posts is framed 'so as tov be taken out, and' one 'part of the cap is detached, and made fast to this false post. Thispost isv to be vtaken out when the derrick is wanted t0 be moved, in order to make it easily transported. When taken apart for moving, the derrick will be in live sections, as in the drawing, figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. lhe false postiis fastened by means of pins at the foonand by means of a lever-tastening at the top;

and als`o\a plate of. iron, where the cap is wood, is fastened to the top of the false post, and may be used. alone,-for economy. Fifth, the upright revolving beam is flamed with 'two iirm braces, and has a pulley in each end of the beam vfor the fork-rope t-o run in.

I will now proceed to describe the operation of my invention. l j

The horse is hitched to the rope at a, in fig'. 1. -Any of the known hay-forks'for derricks may be used, and are fastened to the rope at b. When ready to raise hay, the pulley c being fastened, by means of hook d, to an iron fastening, e, the slide-rope f is for the pulley to slide on, and 'is fastened to vthe iron staples. e and e2. The horse is now moved up, and .pulls in the direction of g. When the hay is raised to the-de sil-ed height, the hook d yis thrown off its fastening: .This lets -the pulley c slide on; the rope f to the staple e2, which 'causes thev beam E to revolve around, bringing the fork, with hay, over the stack, which place is designated bythe letter in the drawing. Then, to 'bring -thefork'back'to itsrst position, use the falle' rope j, which is used to drop the h'ay from the fork on the stack.

To take the derrick apart, draw .the pins lo k-k k; raise the lever l, by rod m.,- carry the rod m around to o. The falsepost C and the upright, revolving beam "H'will then come ont, leaving the derrick in sections,

as `igs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
