bale are deposited from the'slicing apparatus
upon the chains. 10 and are caught up by the
teeth 14 of the rods thereof and carried under
the chains 18. As the chains 18 are moving
5 at. a greater rate of speed the teeth 22.comb
the strands of hay and bring the same into
parallel relation, or substantially so lying in
alinement with the longitudinal axis of the
conveying apparatus. As the material is
10 being thus straightened out along the rods 11
any foreign objects such as stone, bits of wire
or metal will fall through the spaces between
said rods into the bottom of the machine,
while the leaves and finer particles -of hay
15 which would fall through the spaces between
the rods 11 will he operated upon by a blast
of air from the fan 28 located below the con-
veyer including said rods, and carried toward
the cutting apparatus.
.20 The feed rollers 29 are journaled for rota-
tion at Mee delivering end of the chain belts
10 and 18 and receive the straightened mate-
rial from,the teeth and rods carried by.the
said belts. The rollers 30 and 31 are jour-
25 naled for rotation adjacent the feed rollers
29. The roller 30 is provided with a rough-
ened-or corrugated periphery while the roller
31., is provided with. a smooth periphery.
The cutter bar 32 is located adjacent the
30 roller 31 and the roller 33 is . journaled for'
rotation above the said cutter bar and in
close proximity to the same. . The roller 33 is
provided with a corrugated or roughened-pe-
riphery. A rotating cutter 34 is adapted to
35 cooperate with the cutter bar_32 in cutting
the materiall as it passes under the roller 33.
The concave 35 is located below the cutter
bar -32 and is provided with the teeth or
blades 36 which cooperate with the cutter 34
to in further reducing or macerating the mate-
rial after it falls from the. cutter bar 32.
From the cutting apparatus the material falls
upon the inclined shaker 37 from which it
passes into the upper end of the inclined cylin-.
45 drical rotating screen 38..
The deflector plate 39 is provided between
the fan 28 and the.screen 38 for the purpose
of .carrying the material operated upon by
the blast of the fan up to the feed rollers and'
5o also for supplying sufficient upward air cur-
rent at the feed rollers to hold the material
passing through the feed rollers in proper
position. The screw conveyer 40 is located
below the screen-sifter 38 and extends back
55 to the pneumiatic conveyer 41. The con-
veyer 41 is provided with a spout 42. The
material that sifts through the screen 38 is
carried by the screw-conveyer 40 to the
pneumatic conveyer 41 which forces it
6o through the spout 42 to any desired point.
The material which does not pass through the
mesh of the screen 38 falls from the lower end
thereof and is taken up by the endless con-
veyer 43 and carried up and deposited upon
6 the upper sides of the rods 19. This ma-terial is then straightened out and again
passed through the cutting apparatus as
above described.
Having described my invention what I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters- 70
Patent is:-
1.. A machine as described comprising a
frame, a cutter mounted thereon, a conveyer
and combing mechanism for delivering ma-
terial to the cutter, a bile slicing mechanism 75
for delivering material to the conveyer and
combing mechanism and means for operat-
ing the several parts. -
2. A machine as described comprisingia
frame, a cutter mounted thereon, a conveyer 80
and combing mechanism for delivering ma-
terial to the cutter, a bale slicing mechanism
for delivering. material to the conveyer and
combing mechanism, a screen adapted to re-
ceive material from the cutter, means for re- 85
turning the material rejected by the screen
to the combing mechanism, and means for
operating the several parts.
3. A machine as described comprising a
frame, a cutting mechanismincluding a feed 90
mechanism mounted thereon, means for
forcing a'blast of air under the feed mechan-
isms, a conveyer and combing mechanism for
delivering material-to the feedmechanism, a.
bale slicing mechanism for delivering ma- 95
terial to the conveyer and combing mechan-
ism, and means - for operating the several
parts.
4. A machine as described comprising a
frame,' a bale slicing mechanism mounted 100
thereon, a foraminous conveyer located un-
der the'slicing mechanism, a combing mech-
anism cooperating with said conveyer,
means for forcing a blast of air under the con-
veyer, a cutting mechanism located at the 105
delivery ends of the conveyer and combing
mechanisms, and means for operating the
several parts.
5.. A machine as described comprising a
frame, a cutting mechanism mounted there- 110
on, conveyer and combing mechanisms
which move at different rates of speed for de-
livering material to the cutting mechanism,
a bale slicing mechanism for delivering ma-
terial to the conveyer and combing mechan- 115
isms, and means .for. operating the several
parts.
6. A machine as described comprising a
-frame, a cutting mechanism mounted there-
on, a conveyer for delivering material to the 120
cutting mechanism and moving at one rate
of speed, a combing mechanism coperating
with said conveyer and moving at a greater
rate of speed, a bale slicing mechanism for
delivering material to the conveyer, and 125
means for operating the several parts.
7. A machine as .described comprising a
frame, a cutting mechanism mounted there-
on, a conveyer and combing mechanism for
delivering material to the cutting mechan- 130.a
