the rods J3 and J4 are folded back against the
arms J' and J2, respectively, and said arms
are then drawn back by reason of the lever-
age of the rods J3 and J', projecting below
5 the block J and folded, as seen in Fig. 8, and
as the arms are thus folded down the rods J3
and J4 will come to bear on the springs K K,
depressing said springs until the rollers will
readily roll over same. The wires i i are
[o raised by the depressing of the traps h h, as
heretofore stated. Said wires are to prevent
the grain from falling in rear of the con-
veyer. While the arms of said conveyer are
folding, the said wires are again folded down,
[5 (as seen in Fig. 5,) as the conveyer moves to
the rear, by the rollers jand j' coming in con-
tact with the lower end of the dogs i3 i3, trip-
ping said dogs, when they will assume the po-
sition as seen in Figs. 2 and 5, thus allowing
o20 the wires ii to fold, as seen in Fig. 5, and as
the conveyer, folded as seen in Fig. 2, moving
underneath the grain on the platform to the
grain end of the platform, nears said end the
arms J' and J2 will come in contact with the
25 guides sn m, by which said arms are raised to
an elevated position, and the rollers j j' will
press the guides D, as seen in dotted lines,
and pass said guides, when the said guides
will be moved back again by the spring D'.
30 The traps g are elevated to a level of the
plate b by the anti-friction rollers j2 and j3 and
is to prevent said rollers from accidentally
disengaging from beneath said plate b. As
soon as the rollers j and j' have passed the
35 free end of the guides D the grainward move-
ment of the conveyer ceases, and as the con-
veyer is started on its stubbleward move-
ment the traps g will again drop down to
form a continuous track, as heretofore stated,
40 for the rollersj and j' to ascend to the top of
plate b, and thus complete the elevation of
the arms J' and J2 as the conveyer is started
on its forward movement. The constructions
and operations of the track on the other side
45 of that just described are the same as that
just described.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim is-
1. In a grain-conveyer forself-binding har-
5o vesters, the combination of a conveyer head
or block J, having a shaft j4, provided with
anti-friction rollers j2 and j3 on its projecting
ends, arm or arms J' and J2, secured to said
shaftj4 and provided with shoulders or pro-
55 jectionsj5 and j, arms or rods J and J4, piv-
oted to said arms J'and J2 beneath the shoul-
ders j and jG, anti-friction rollers j and j' on
the lower or free ends of the arms J3 and J4, as
shown, a platform provided with a slot A',
60o having inwardly-projecting edges A2 A2, hay-ing traps formed in said inwardly-projecting
edges, springs K K in said platform, and means
to operate said conveyer, substantially as
shown and described.
2. In a grain-conveyer for self-bindinghar- 65
vesters, the combination of a platform pro-
vided with a slot A', having inwardly-pro-
jecting edges A2 A', a conveyer-block pro-
vided with an arm or arms and anti-friction
rollers, as shown, a trap or traps h h, formed 70
in the inwardly-projecting edges A2 A2 and
secured to a shaft or shafts h' h', having
cranks h2 h2 provided with rod or rods h h,
springs on said rods, as shown, the free ends
of the rods h3 h3, extending through brackets 75
secured in the platform-springs K K, as
shown, and switches and guides near the grain
end of the platform, as shown, and for the
purposes described.
3. In a grain-conveyer for self-binding har- Eo
vesters, the combination of a platform pro-
vided with a slot A', having inwardly-pro-
jecting edges A2 A2, a conveyer-block pro-
vided with an arm or arms and anti-friction
rollers, as shown, a trap or traps h h, formed 85
in the inwardly-projecting edges A2 A2 and
secured to a shaft or shafts h' h', having
cranks h2 h2 provided with rods h4, shoulders
or projections 72' on said rods, as shown, and
projecting with their free ends through eyes 90
in the rods i i, said rods or wires i i secured
to shafts i' i', dogs pivoted to the free ends of
the cranks on the shafts i' i' and projecting
in the passage-way of the conveyer, rods ihW
ih on the cranks h2 h2, springs on said rods, 95
as shown, springs K K, as shown, and switches
and guides near the grain end of the plat-
form, as shown, and for the purpose described.
4. In a grain-conveyer for self-bindinghar-
vesters, the combination of a platform pro- ,oo
vided with a slot A', having inwardly-pro-
jecting edges A2 A2, a conveyer-block J, pro-
vided with arms and anti-friction rollers, as
shown and described, guides hinged to the
strips a and a' and pressed in the passage- 1o5
way of the conveyer by suitable springs, as
shown, guides m m, secured in the platform,
as shown, and for the purposes described,
traps g g, hinged to the plate b and resting
with their free ends on or against the free iio
ends of the guides D D, traps h h in the tracks
or inwardly-projecting edges A2 A2, and means
to operate said conveyer, substantially as de-
scribed.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my sig-
nature in presence of two witnesses.
