10As the shaft 1 rotates, the wheel 11 is car-
ried around with the same, and the packers
13 are successively passed along the arcuate,
surface of the segment 14. When the arcu-
ate portions 22 of the packers 13 engage the
edge of the segment 14, the said portions 22
slide along the periphery of the said seg-
inent and thus each packer 13 as it moves
along the said segment is fixed in this posi-
tion with relation to the wheel 11. When in
said position, the head 19 is disposed sub-
stantially in alinement with the radius of
the said wheel. and all stalks that happen
to be in advance of the said head are moved
toward the passage 4 of the machine. The
space between the head 19 and the hooked
portion 23 is, also; occupied by stalks which
are taken up from the passage 2 and ad-
vanceci toward the passage 4, while the space
between the rear edge of the hooked portion
23 of the preceding packer 13 and the for-
ward edge of the head 19 is filled by stalks
which are moved from the passage 3 into
the merger chamber 5, thus the packers 13
are so arranged as to operate upon stalks
arriving through both of the said passages,
and forces the stalks thus assembled into the .4
outlet passage . When the hooked portions
23 arrive at that end of the segment 1.4 near-
est the passage 4, the said hooked end 23
moves beyond the center of the wheel 11,
and thus the packer 13 turns upon its piv-
otal connection with the lug 12 and permits
the head 14 of the packer to enter the end of
the passage 4 in substantially parallel rela-
tion with the gate 24 located at the end of
the said passage 4. This arrangement, also,
permits the head 19 of the packer 13 to iwithdraw laterally from the compressed
stalks located in the passage 4, thereby re- 40
during friction to a nnnnum. As the butts
of the stalks are of greater diameter than
the middles thereof, the packing arms 8 are
not located practically under the packing
heads 19 of the packers 13, but are posi- 45
tioneci sufficiently behind the same in order
that the stalks may receive uniform pres-
sure from the packing mechanism at the
base and the middle.
I claim: 50
1. In a harvester a member mounted for
rotation, a segment concentrically arranged
with relation to said member, a packer piv-
otally mounted upon the rotating member
and having a head portion, a crank portion, 55
an arcuate portion, and a hooked portion
spaced from the head portion.
2. In a harvester a stalk packer compris-
ing a member mounted for rotation, a seg-
nient concentrically arranged with relation 6c
to said rotating member, a packer pivotally
mounted upon the rotating member and
comprising a head portion provided at its
inner end with a flange, and having a crank
portion, an arcuate portion, and a hooked os
end portion, said hooked end portion being
spaced from the head portion, said flange on
the head portion lying in the same are as
that described by the arcuate portion.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 70
my own, I have hereto affixed my signature
in the presence of two witnesses.
