Title: Improvements in Grain Binders.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1899-08-15
Granted: 1899-12-23
Abstract: 16,570. Haddan, R., [Plano Manufacturing Co.]. Aug. 15. Sheafing or binding apparatus.-Relates to detail improvements. A latch or gate Q is pivoted on the projection 0 in the needle slot L, and is positively operated both to open and close the slot L by the action of the binding-cord. In the position shown in Fig. 2, in which the sheaf is being formed, the cord from the holder J lies across the latch Q between its pivot and tail end S, and holds the latch firmly so that its nose R closes the slot L. When the sheaf has been completed and the needle has laid the second cord across the knotter bill, the revolution of the bill draws the two cords to the opposite side of the pivot of the latch Q. The cords then rock the latch, and are drawn past it into the part P of the needle slot. The tail S is so shaped as to bear against the needle in its raised position and prevent the latch from being pushed too far. On the return of the needle, the latch again assumes the position shown in Fig. 2, and the same cycle of operations is repeated. The tripping-mechanism is constructed as follows :-In Fig. 11, A<1> represents the continuously-running packer shaft, F' the intermittently-driven binder shaft, and d a rock shaft carrying the spring trip arm D', and trip stop H<1>. A clutch block M' having shoulders M<2> is mounted on the shaft A<1>. A clutch plate L' is secured to a sleeve a<1> mounted on an extension of the shaft A' and carrying a pinion a' for driving the internal gear-wheel E' on the shaft F<2>. A clutch member J<1> is pivoted on the plate L', and is provided with three arms, one of which carries a friction-wheel to engage the shoulders M' and thus connect the plate L<1> on the sleeve a' with the block M' on the shaft A<1> ; the second arm is connected by a spring o' to a lug on the plate L', and tends to keep the above-described friction-wheel in engagement with the shoulders M<2> ; the third arm carries a friction-wheel which engages the lug h on the trip stop H<1>, and holds the friction - wheel out of engagement with the shoulders M'. The trip stop H<1> is specially constructed and mounted so as to be readily adjustable, both horizontally and vertically, to take up the wear between it and the wheel. A boss P<1> is secured on the shaft d, and carries two flanges to which the stop H<1> is secured by bolts. The stop H' and the flange Q' of the boss P' are so shaped as to cause the required vertical adjustment to be made simultaneously with the horizontal adjustment. The shaft d is rocked to effect the disengagement of the trip-stop by the pressure of the grain accumulating against the trip arm D'. The motion of the rock shaft d is controlled by a friction roller f on a crank F<1> on the shaft d engaging a specially-constructed cam surface e on the wheel E'.
