Abstract: 22,028. Leoni, A. M. March 26. Mowing-machines.-In a mowing-machine in which the knife-bar is driven by an engine, special means are provided for automatically throwing the driving-mechanism out of gear when the cutting-apparatus is raised. A clutch on the driving-shaft is moved by a fork on a sliding bar, on which is a pin 43, Fig. 4, projecting through a slot in the gear case and engaging in a cam-groove 44 in a foot-lever 45. A spring 55 tends to move the lever 45 and thus open the clutch, but the movement is normally prevented by a spring pawl 48 engaging a notched segment 49. When the cutting- apparatus is raised, the pawl 48 is released by the engagement of a cam 60 with a lever 53 linked to the pawl, the cam shaft 57 being connected with the lifting lever 63, Fig. 3, by gearing 64, 65. The foot-lever 63 lifts the cutting-apparatus by means of a coupling-rod 67, bell-crank lever 68, and chain 69.
