  • the nature ot' my invention consists ⁇ in the combination ot' the main frame ot'a harvesting-machine with the main ground and driving wheels pinion-shaft on the frame, with sector-plates and sliding adjustable boxes so constructed ⁇ and arranged that the attendant of the machine can both vary the distance of the frame from the axle of the driving-wheel (so as'to carry the frame higher or lower) and its distance from the pinion-shaft (to suit-differentsized pinions) while the axleot' the driving-wheel remains in the boxes in which it turns; second, making a projecting lip on the sector plate above mentioned for the fulcrum-pin of the shipper, which traverses the pinion heretofore mentioned; third, retaining the pinion on its shaft by means ot' the shipper, which throws it in and ont of connection with its clutch-pin; fourth, so, connecting or combining the drivers seat of harvesting-machines with the frontend oftheframe ofthe same (when used for reaping) that when the driver is on his

  • Fig. 4 represents a vertical longitudinal section through the center of the main driving-wheel.
  • Fig. 5 represents a vertical longitudinal section inside of the main driving-wheel, illustrating more fully the vibrating adjustable sector-plates and adjustable shaft or axle-boxes.

  • Fig..8 represents a perspective view of a connectingcasting.

  • Fig. 1() represents perspective views of tongue, heel,and holding or retaining stirrnp.
  • Fig. 11 represents a side view of rake-arch or guide balance-lever, &c.
  • a and A2 represent the two beams of the main ground-wheelframe. That ofA is somewhat larger and extends farther forward for receiving the tongues retaining-stirrnp.
  • A is a cast-iron connecting-piece, by which 'and screw-bolts at the front end of A2 the beams are connected together.
  • G is an extensioI1-bar,with a single screwbolt passing up through it and cachot the beams, near their rear ends, whereby they are sustained above it in a very secure manner, so
  • the extension-bar G' after extending 'out-from beam A the proper distance, has a downward set or bend in it, fromtnear which bend its extended part forms the finger-bar G,
  • 1 u .f N is a brace-rod, the rear end of which 1s connected to the under side of the bar G,near its bend, and its front end to beam A by the bolts o3, which connect the heel ofthe tongue B to beam A,which brace-rod and connectingcasting A', together with the extension-bar G'. retain the frame against being forced out of square, or in" twist.
  • ln beam Ak there are two holes, o and 02, and maybe more, one above the other, for bolt 03,'for rendering the heel of the tongue vertically adjustable, as is required for enabling the attendant to give the ungerbar a heavy or light bearing on the ground, or
  • each ofwhich small holes in their large ends, lying in an ⁇ are the center of which is the center of the large holes, and also an inward -projecting flange on the upper'edge ot' each, with two holes, s s, -in each, and a projecting llip on the inner side off, in which is placed the fulcrumpin Vof the shipper q, by which pinion b is thrown in connection with clutch-pin, which parts form my improved sector plate or plates, as 'set forth, which have two novel and useful features-a top flange for receiving the adjustable bones, and a lip for the shipper qs fulcrum-pin-wbich makes a cheaper and much more rigid fulcrum for the shipper than if made separate from the sector-plate.
  • C is the main ground and driving wheel.
  • a3 are its arms; a?, its internal cogrim; a, its internal gear; c, its curved flange, which connects the edge of the internal cog-rim, a2, with the edge of the ground-rim C, and projects farther out than the edge of either, or the.
  • main groundwheel frame can be raised nearer to or lowered farther from the axle of the main ground and driving cog wheel, and also the axle brought nearer its wheel-pinion shaft, (which alwaysoccupies the same position on the fra-me,) or removed farther from it for bringing gear a in mesh with whatever sized pinion will give the cutters'the desired number of reciprocations or vibrations, all the changes being made without ⁇ removin g the axleboxes from the main driving Thus it will be seen cog-wheels shaft or axle.
  • any desired number of vibrations or'yreciprocations can be given to the cutters by using the proper-sized pinion and varying the distance between the master-wheel axle and its, pinion-'shaft to suit the pinion used,'and also that the distance of the frame from the axle can be varied, when desired, without removing the sliding boxes from the axle.
  • I is the divider, which is made separate from the finger-bar and platform, and attached to the outer end of the finger-bar by a single screw-bolt.
  • H is the grain-wheel, attached to the divider a little in front ofthe linger-bar. This grainwheel is made will] a wide deep groove on one side, as shown in an additional drawing, Fig.
  • K is the rake arch or guide, curved to Suit the circle the rake makes in its raking-stroke, with its front end about the same widtlrto or near where the rake-head leaves the platform in its raking-stroke, from which placeits upper edge inclines upward a sufficient distance for raising the rake-teeth out of the gavel which is falling from the platform without entangling it, and from there backward it inclines aI little downward for retaining the rake-head at rest when a gavel of sufficient size is not formed at one revolution of the main ground-wheel, and the rake-crank is disengaged until sufcient grain has been gathered to form another gavel.
  • the forked balance-lever P To the curved side ofthe rake-archis attached (byafnlcrumpin) the forked balance-lever P, with a weight,
  • F is the rake-head, with one end connected to the upper edge of beam A2 by a link or universal joint, 4, forming a fixed fnlcrum about opposite or in line with the cutter-bar, on which fulcrum the rake vibrates when its outer end is carried across the platform to remove the gavel, and is then raised up and carried forward over the cut and fallen grain to rake off the nextV gavel, the rake making all its movements with one end fixed at i4.
  • the rake moves the gavcl or grain sidewise as ⁇ soon as it begins to move it backward.
  • f2 are its teeth, which occupy nearly tire space between its arch or guide and its outer end.
  • axle D On the extended portion'of axle D is placed coiled spring, which when crank l is placed on the outer end of axle D, and a clutch-pin through the axle after the crank is on it near its end,) which spring always holds the crank in clutch with its clutch-pin when not held out by its shipper P, the forked end of which fits into the groove in the hub of the crank l.
  • m is the pitlnan by which theinotion ofcrank lis transmitted to therakehead,v the large end of which pitman surrounds the wrist-pin in the small end of the crank, and the dat end of which passes through a slot in the rakehead, and is there contined by a pin, c2.
  • L is the drvers seat on its outer inclined leg L?, whichis attached to the connecting casting A by screw-bolts, so that itcan he readily' removed for using' the machine a mower, by which manner of attachment it has two seperate and distinct functionsthe iirst ot' which is the raising and retaining above the ground the rearend of the wheel-frame, and making the heretofore-limber tongue a rigid one by merely placing the driver on his seat, (his weight bringing the top ot' the stixrup T down on the tongue,)as set forth, and it will be further observed that to perform the last- ⁇ mentioned function the drivers seat has occasion to project outside of the wheelframe, and also that by having it project outside, as shown and described, the'drivers weight, when in his scat, performs an entirely new-function, that of raising and preventing the sag in the fingerbar, as we llas thatofraisingand retaining the rear end ofthe wheel-frame, by which
