Description

UNITED STATES PATENT EEICE- J. B. MCCORMICK, OF VERSAILLES, KENTUCKY.
IMPROVEMENT IN HARVESTERS.
Spccitication forming part of Letters Patent- No. 20,080, dated April 27, 1858.
To all whom t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, J. B. McGoEMIcK, of Versailles, in thecounty of Woodford and State ot' Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Harvesters for Harvesting either Grain or Hemp; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference heilig had to rhe annexed drawings, making part of this specilication, in which- Figure l is a side sectional elevation of my improvement. X X in Fig. 2 indicates the plane of section. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of the same.v
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two gures.
This invention relates to an improvement in a mode of discharging the cutgrain or hemp trom the machine, for which Letters Patent bearing date June 2, 1857, were granted to me.
rlhe object of this invention is to facilitate the matinal part of the work or process, as described in said Letters Patent, by causing the grain or hemp to be discharged upon the ground in compact gavels, and two at a time, by means hereinafter fully shown and described.
To enable those skilled inthe art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A represents the main frame of the harvester.
B is the driving-wheel.
U is the drivers seat. attached to the main frame and placed above the driving-wheel.
D is the attendants seat, attached to a bar connected to the back part ofthe main frame.
E is the finger-bar, which is attached to the hack part of the main frame A, the said fingerbar being provided with a reciprocating sickle, which may be operated by any of the known ways from the driving-wheel B.
F is the reel, the shaft G of which hasvits journals fitted in bars a a, arranged in any proper way. The beaters b of this reel have concave faces, as shown in Fig. 2. These concave faces may be formed by bolting taper or wedge-shaped pieces c c vto the beaters, one at each end. The beaters b are about equal in length to the sickle.
To the center of the finger-bar E a har, H,
l is permanently attached. This har projects a` certain distance from the finger-har at right angles with it, and two rods, cl d, are attached to the end of bar H, said rods projecting back as far or a little beyond the attendants seat D. The rods d d incline gradually upward from their front to their hack ends, and they slightly diverge from their front end, as shown in Fig. 2, the bar H and rods d d forming a separator, H', as hereinafter described.
I I represent two inclined hars, one bar, I, being attached to the main frame A, and the other, I', being attached to a shoe or bar, J, at the outer end ofthe finger-bar E. These bars I I extend back as faras the attendants seat D.
K is a rod which is laid on the bars I l', and operated or manipulated by the attendant, as will be presently shown.
The operation is as follows: The driver is seated on the seat O, and an attendant is seated on the other seat, D. The attendant, having the rod K in his hands, places it, as soon as the machine commences moving, on the bars I 1, parallel or nearly parallel with the [ingerhar E. The sickle cuts the grain or hemp in the usual way, and the heaters b, as they strike tendency to push or force the cut grain or hemp toward the center of the finger-bar, and the har H' and rods d d serve as a separator and divide the cut grain or hemp into two parts or portions,the upper ends of which fa-ll and rest upon the rod K, the lower ends resting on the therewith. (See red lines in Fig. 2.) When a requisite quantity of cut grain or hemp has fallen on the rod K the attendant withdraws it from the bars l l and the gavels are discharged upon the ground,a gavel being formed at each side ot' the rods el d. As soon as the gavels are discharged-the attendant immediately replaces the rod K on the bars I I to receive the two succeeding gavels, and the operation is repeated.
By this improvement the cut grain or hemp is discharged in compact gavels, and two at a time, the separator H dividing the cut grain or hemp, and the concave beaters b, in connection with the separator, servn g to makethe gavels compact. The rod K requires to be drawn to discharge the gavels only one-half as often as the upper part ot' the grain or hemp, have a y iinger-bar or a narrow platform connectedv4 in my patented machine previously alluded to. The gavels are also laid or discharged upon the ground in an even and perfect state in far better condition than lcan be done by any automatic device thatV has as yet come under my observation.
I would remark that although two bars, I I', are described, one bar, I', may answer, as the attendant may support the end 0f therod where` he grasps it. a
I would also remark that the seat D on the machine may be varied according to the position of the sickle. In those machines where the sickle is placed in front of the drivingwheel the seat will be by the side of the wheel, or in that vicinity; but the relative position of the seat, sickle, and separator will not vary materially from that herein described.
Ido not claim a rod, K, placed on bars and so manipulated by the attendant as to form an adjustable or movable rest or platform for the ready discharge of the cut grain or hemp in gavels, for such device has been used in connection with certain concomitant parts, and lwas formerly patented by me but What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The separator H', formed of the bar H and rods d d, in combination with the adjustable rod K, bars I I', one or more, seat D, and reel provided with concave beaters, when the several parts are constructed,relativel y arranged, and operated as and for the purpose set forth.
