-sTRAw-STACKER.

SPECIFICATION forming, part of Reissued Letters Patent No. 10,347, dated July 3, 1883.

l Original No. 274,940, dated April 3, 1883 Application for reissue tiled April2],1583.

,- of Indianapolis, Indiana, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Straw-Stacking Machines, of which. the following is a descripltion, referencerbeing made to the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like letters indicate like parts.

My invention belongs to that class of machines known as straw-stackers, which are portable, and have a carrier composed of one or connected sections and mounted upon suitable frame-work, so that it'may readily beA elevated and revolved in any direction and folded up securely for transportation.

Heretofore stackers of this class have been usually sustained from a point above the gearrier by means of a derrick, and the tilting of the carrier-frame has been accomplished by mechanism located above the carrier; and my obj ect is to dispense with structures of this sort and to providea stackerin which the actuating, revolving, and also the tilting mechanism operate from below the carrier-frame, and thus simplify the mechanism and operation of the machine and render it less bulky and eX- pensive. y

In the drawings, Figure l is a side view of my machine; Fig. 2, a top view; Fig. 3, afront view; Fig. 4, a vertical section on line x x,-

Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a top view in the plane of line y y, Fig. 3, showing the fifth-wheel b. Fig. 6 is a side view, showing the pulley or windlass with the guide for the stayrope..

Fig. 7 is a top view of the same.

In detail, A is the outer or upper, and Bthe inner'orlower, section of astraw-carrier, which are hinged at h for convenience in folding up. More than two sections may be used, if desired.

C and D are pulley-wheels, connected by a belt, and revolving in bearings in the revolving frame of the straw-carrier. Y

E is the shaft of the pulley-wheel C, having about` midway a miter-wheel, a., which is geared into a second miter-wheel, a', vmounted on the vertical shaft h, which passes through the two upper cross-bars, H H', ofthe secondary frame. At the lower end of this vertical shaft is mounted a bevel-wheel, e, which engages with another bevel-wheel, c', mounted on the shaft K27 revolved.

which'is supported by the hanger K', and at its outer end is the driving-pulley K. It-is readily seen that when power is applied to the driving-pulley K it is transmitted by the shaft K2 and vertical shaft h to the horizontal shaft E, and thence by the belt on the pulley C to the wheel D, and thence to the endless slotted belt lof the carrier., causing it to move around the rollers of the frame or chute B.

F yF is a frame supporting the carrier, which revolves upon a fifth-wheel, b, so that it maybe moved in either direction about its aXis by hand or any suitable device.

G G are braces rigidly attached to the sides ,of section B of the carrier, and mounted on the shaft E in such manner as to allowthe carrier to be tilted up and down, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. I. fected by means of the rope or chain Z, which is attached at its upper end to a brace or stay, l, fixed to the short end of the carrier, and the rope, passing through a guide, d, winds round l a windlass, L, which is operated by a crank, e. When the carrier is in proper positiom the crank may be secured by a hook or similar device.

W is a counter-balance for'steadying the carrier, and it helps to relieve the strain on the windlass. It may be dispensed with, but may be used as indicated. A common boX, to be filled with earth or stone when used, is sufficient.

N is a support for sustaining thestacker when folded up and let down for transportation. 0 is the sillof the main frame.

^ My machine may readily be used on the ground, or may be mounted on wheels; or it mayv be used in direct connection with a thrasher by dispensing with the sliding frame H H, and with a short straw-carrier on the thrasher when my machine is set close up to.

its end; or the straw might be allowed, to fall from the thrasher directly upon the revolving carrier.

In Fig. 2 the dotted lines indicate the various positions of the-shaft E as the carrier is It will be seen therefore that the carrier may be tilted up and down in a vertical plane, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, and at the same time revolved in a horizon- This tilting is ef` IOO Y tal plane, as shown in Fig. 2, and that both these movements are effected by mechanism located below the plane of the carrier.

My machine operates as follows: If the machine bein the position shown in Fig. l, by turning the crank f the operator lifts or raises the frame H H, and with it the carrier, to the top of the stationary frame I, and the carrier may then be tilted up or down, or revolved on the flfth-wheel.- When the work is done, the

by mechanism located and operated from be-r low, raised and lowered from below, and actuated from below; and I believe Vno other stacking-machine known or used before my application was originally iiled was so con-` structed, actuated, or operated.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a straw-stacker, the lcombination of the main frame I I, the vertical sliding frame H H', adapted to move up and down therein, fifth-wheel b, and the frame F F, revolving on I the fth-wheel b and supporting thefolding straw-carrier, with'means for raising and lowering the sliding frame from below, substan-Y tially as described.

2. In a straw-stacker, the combination of a main supporting-frame, IRI, a sliding frame,

-H H, adjustable up and down in said frame, l

and a revolving folding stacker-frame supported whollyupon' said sliding frame, substantially as described.

3. The combination, in a straw-stacker, of a main supporting-maine, I I, the secondary frame H H', adapted to slide therein, the frame F F, `supporting the strawcarrier A I3, a main driving-shaft and pulley, avertical shaft con` nected therewith by suitable gearing for revolving the carrier, the stay-rope l, and brace Z, and counter-balance W, substantially as and for the purpose described.

4. In a straw-stacker, the combination of the main frame I I, the secondary frame H H, adjustable up and down in said main frame, a fth-wheel located upon the secondary frame, the carrier, andmechanism for actuating the carrier, substantially as described.

5.`In a straw-stacker, the combination of the main frame I I, the secondary frame H H, adjustable up and down therein, the sectional carrier horizontally adjustable, and actuating gearing mounted below the plane of the carrier, substantially as described.

6. In a straw-stacker, the folding straw-car` l rier A B, the supporting-frame F- F, the revolving plate b, and the straw-carrier braces G G,adapted to rotate upon the axis E when the carrier-frame is tilted, in combination with the axis E, the windlass L, and a rope connecting the windlass with the carrier, substantially as and for the purpose described. Y

7. The combination of the folding carrierA B, the frame F F, adjustable frame H H, main framel I I, braces G G, shaft E, wheels a c, pulleys D and @,uand their connecting-belt, substantially as described.- Y

8. In a straw-stacker, the folding and tilting carrier A B, adapted to revolve on the fth-wheel b, in combination with such fifthwheel,` a supporting-frame, theA stay-rope l, brace'l, windlass L, and its crank e, located and operated below the carrier-frame, substantially as described.
