Granted: 1911-12-06
Abstract: 28,415. Madsen, M. O. Dec. 6. Thrashing - machines. -After passing over a supplementary shaker, the straw and cavings are compressed and tied. The additional shaker consists of a plate a corrugated the whole or a part of its length and perforated at the end farthest from the drum. Beneath it is a box sloping towards an outlet for grain. The cavings from the riddles are led over a plate j to the shaker a, upon which the straw also falls from the main shakers k at about the centre. The shaker is suspended on links b at one end and supported on pivoted rods at the other, being operated by an eccentric. A central batten p, corrugated above, assists the progress of the straw. A shaft o' operates the press and tying - mechanism. A downwardlyoperating packer v is rocked on the pivot n by a connecting-rod wand crank-pin x, and is provided beneath with inclined teeth 1 acting to arrange the straw transversely in conjunction with retaining-teeth 2 on a curved plate s, which receives the straw. As the straw is thus forwarded into the receiver t, it turns the wheel 3, which, through a cam 4, periodically throws the needle into gear. An arm 14 is continuously rocked loosely on the shaft 11, and carries a pawl 15, which is prevented from engaging a notch 13 in the sector 12, by the lower face ot an arm 10 pressed upwards by a spring and retained by a spring catch 7. Twice in every revolution of the cam 4, the rod 6 is pushed up to engage the catch 7, and is retracted by a spring 5, drawing back the catch and releasing the arm 10. This allows the pawl to engage the sector 12, which then turns with the arm 14, and, being fixed to the shaft 11, moves the arm 17 linked or pivoted to the needle 19. The sector is moved back by a lug fixed on the arm 14, and the arm 10 is returned to its lower position by a projection 21 on the sector 12 engaging its upper surface. The guides are formed to allow the needle to follow the motion of the straw.
