Abstract: 9171. Bamford, J., and Bamford, C. J. April 13. [Cognate Application, 12,299/11.] Haymaking; potato diggers.-The sliding connexions in the mechanism for actuating the tines described in Specification 5823/09, are replaced by devices by which an adjustable motion is imparted ; and tines are attached to horizontal cranks to act as a side-delivery rake. The tines 1, Fig. 2, of a potato digger are mounted on pins having cranked ends 16 with pins 17, which lie on a circle of the same diameter as the smaller spider 3. Driving- power is transmitted by links 19. The pendulum movement of the tines may be adjusted by means of holes 19<Î> in the links 19 for the reception of the ends of the links 21, or by means of holes 22 in arms 20 on the tine brackets 4. The inclination of the tines is adjusted by altering the position of the axle 23 of the spider 3 in its bracket 25. Alternatively, the spider 3 may be driven by a third and smaller spider on the same axle as the spider 2. In a haymaker, the spider 3 is mounted on an eccentric having a quadrant lever fixed to it, the position of which governs the inclination of the tines. Another modification, specially applicable to rakes, consists in mounting the tines on the links 21, Fig. 7, between the disks which are widely separated. The crop is thrown by the sideways movement of the tines 35 to the left of the machine, and is finally ejected by the tines 1. In a modification of this device, the cranks 20 are prolonged to act as horizontal tine bars, the ends passing into swivel joints in the bosses 18 of the spider 3. Means for giving the tines a back-front pendulum motion are described in Provisional Specification 12,299/11. The holes in the arms, in which the ends of the links 21 fit, are placed askew, and the other ends are connected to the disk by universal joints, so that the links take a turning movement.
