THOMAS C. HENNINGER, OF MARKHAM, TEXAS.
COMBINED SEPARATOR AND BAGGING DEVICE FOR GRAIN.No. 820,867.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS C. H-ENNIN-
GER, a citizen of the United States, and a resi-
dent of Markham, in the county of Mata-
5 gorda and State of Texas, have invented
new and useful Improvements in a Combined
Separator and Bagging Device for Grain, of
which the following is a full, clear, and exact
description.
io This invention relates to combined sepa-
rators and loading devices for grain; and it
consists, substantially, in the details of con-
struction and combinations of parts herein-
after more particularly described.
15 One of the principal objects of the inven-
tion is to provide an attachment for thresh-
ing-machines through the medium of which
grain or other cereals may be taken directly
From the machine and the lighter or in-
20 ferior particles separated therefrom and the
heavier or superior particles thereof delivered
or loaded into bags or other receptacles
therefor.
A further object is to provide an attach-
25 ment for threshing - machines through the
medium of which the grain or other cereals
may be taken directly from the machine and
the lighter or inferior particles separated
therefrom and either or both the said parti-
30 cles and the heavier or superior particles
thereof delivered into bags or other recep-
tacles therefor.
A still further object is to provide an at-
tachment of the character referred to which
35 is simple in construction and thoroughly ef-
fective and reliable in operation, besides be-
ing readily applied and controlled and pos-
sessing the capacity for long and repeated
service.
40 ~ The above and additional objects are at-
tained by means substantially such as are
illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in
which similar characters of reference indi-
cate corresponding parts in both the figures.
.45 Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in sec-
tion, on the line 1 1 of Fig. 2 of a combined
separator and loading device for grain em-
bodying my improvements; and Fig. 2 is a
top plan view thereof.
5o Before proceeding with a more detailed
description it may be here stated that in the
form of my improvements herein shown I
employ a suitable elevator onto which the
grain to be separated and bagged or loaded
55 may be taken directly from the threshing-
machine with which the attachment or struc-Patented May 15, 1906.
ture of my improvements may be associated
in any preferred way. Leading down-
wardly from the upper end of the housing for
the elevator, at one side thereof, is a dis- 6o
charge spout or trunk of special embodiment
through which the heavier or superior parti-
cles of grain are precipitated by gravity and
delivered to bags or other receivers therefor,
and mounted upon the upper end of said hous- 65
ing is a fan and casing therefor, the latter
having special means of communication with
the aforesaid discharge spout or trunk by
which a suction of air may be produced in
the latter in an upward direction. The 70
lighter or inferior particles of grain are car-
ried into and through the fan-casing, from
which they may be discharged in any suitable
way, special means being preferably em-
ployed, however, whereby such particles may 75
also be precipitated and delivered into bags
or other receivers therefor.
The elevator and fan may each be operated
in any suitable way and from any suitable
source, and while I have herein represented 8o
my improvements in a certain preferred em-
bodiment it will be understood, of course,
that I do not limit myself thereto in precise
detail, since immaterial changes therein may
be made coming within the scope of my in- 85
vention.
Reference being had to the drawings and
designating characters thereon, 1 represents
in entirety an elevator structure which may
be applied or mounted in any suitable way 90
upon an ordinary threshing - machine for
grain, (not shown,) said structure embodying
a housing 2, between the sides of which, at the
lower and upper ends thereof, respectively,
are shafts 3 and 4, the latter carrying a 95
sprocket-wheel 5 and the former a sprocket-
wheel 6, said sprocket-wheels being connect-
ed by a sprocket-chain 7, (shown in dotted
lines in Fig. 1,) having secured thereto at
proper intervals buckets or lifting-blades 8, oo
said chains and buckets constituting the ele-
vator proper for the grain.
Suitably connected to the upper end of the
housing 2, at one side thereof and communi-
cating therewith, is a hollow or tubular mein- 1o
ber 9, having at the lower extremity thereof
an extension 10, to which is coupled or fitted
the upper end of a downwardly-extending
spout or trunk 11, preferably provided at the
lower end thereof with duplicate branches or no
discharge-outlets 12, intermediate of which
is pivotally supported at 13 a rotatableSpecification of Letters Patent.
