Assigned to A. W. Stevens & Son - Auburn, Cayuga County NY

Abstract: The object of my invention is to provide means for more conveniently regulating or adjusting the pitch of the husking-rollers. Under certain conditions it is necessary to give a considerable angle to the husking-rollers, so that the ears will pass quickly off of the same. At other times it is desirable to have said rollers supported in a more nearly horizontal position, so that the ears may be retained longer upon the rollers to enable the latter to thoroughly strip the husks from the ear. In this class of machines it is customary to mount the husking-rollers in a frame which is pivot ally secured in the frame of the -machine at its upper end and is adjustable vertically at its lower end. The objection to this method of adjustment is that the frame holding the rollers, being separate from the frame of the machine, must be rigidly stayed to the machine-frame after it is adjusted. According to my invention the husking- rollers A are mounted in bearings supported directly by and in the main frame of the ma- chine, and I provide adjusting devices at the rear end of the machine for positively adjusting the machine-frame itself when it is necessary to adjust or vary the pitch of the husking-rolls. In this instance I have shown the rear end of the frame of the machine secured to its supporting-bolster B by a strap B', which is pivotally connected to the sill of the main frame at each side of the machine, these straps being so arranged as to permit the raising and lowering of the frame. Claim: In a cornhusking machine the combination with the main body of the machine and the husking-rollers mounted in bearings rigidly secured therein, of a supporting-truck for the machine including among its members a horizontal bolster adjacent to one end of said rollers, straps connected to said bolster and pivotally secured to the main body of the machine, and adjusting devices for raising the main body above said bolster, while leaving it connected therewith by said straps, to adjust said husking-rollers.

A "u" shaped clamping spring provides a nut gripping element on one side of the socket. To release the grip the pressure of the spring is released by an auxiliary lever. Some known examples matching this patent with the parts made of malleable castings have no visible markings. One known example has a partially visible date stamping.

Manufactured by Prentiss Vise Co. - Watertown, Jefferson County NY
Assigned to Prentiss Vise Co. - New York NY

Abstract: My invention has to do with vises for holding pipes or rods, and has been designed with to more particular reference to the needs of a vise for holding bicycle or other tubes or finished round bars. Under my invention the movable jaw of the vise-that is to say, that jaw which moves to and from the other-is actuated to move in a direction to clamp the work by means of what may conveniently be termed a "latch," adapted to engage the bar or stem which carries said jaw and capable both of an oscillatory or swinging movement by which it can be brought into and out of engagement with said stem and of a bodily movement lengthwise or in a direction to force the jaw to close tightly upon the work, in combination with means by which these several movements may be imparted to the latch. While I do not desire to be understood as limiting myself to the precise means hereinafter described for this purpose, yet I prefer to employ a pivoted lever-handle having an eccentric hub, upon which the latch is freely hung, the eccentricity of the hub determining the extent of longitudinal movement of the latch, while a pin or shoulder on the latch, against which the lever-handle brings up at a certain point in its movement, serves as a means by which the tilting or swinging of the latch is effected in a direction to disengage it from the stem, the latch being normally pressed by a spring in a direction to cause it to engage the stem. Claim: In a vise the combination with the movable jaw and the notched bar or stem carrying the same, of a lever-handle pivoted to the vise-body and provided with an eccentric hub, and a latch mounted freely upon said eccentric hub and adapted to engage and operate the notched stem.

Manufactured by C. H. Bidwell Thresher Co. - Batavia, Genesee County NY

Abstract: The object of my invention is the construction of a new and improved grain-scourer in io which the scouring-blades shall be caused to act upon the grain under pressure without the use of a vertical column of grain to secure such pressure. Claim: A scouring-cylinder arranged to receive or discharge the grain at either end thereof according to the direction of rotation of the scouring-blades therein, a vibrating screen and a chute, such vibrating screen arranged to deliver the grain therefrom into one end of such scouring-cylinder, such chute arranged to deliver the grain supplied thereto to the other end of such scouring-cylinder, and a valve arranged when in its operative position to direct the grain from such vibrating screen into such chute.

Manufactured by C. H. Bidwell Thresher Co. - Batavia, Genesee County NY

Abstract: The object of my invention is to provide an improved means for the removal from the machine of the fine particles of dirt and small seeds that escape through the usual screen in the lower grain-pan of a threshing-machine, such that such fine particles of dirt and small seeds shall he carried to one end of the machine and delivered there in a pile rather than having such fine particles of dirt and small seeds delivered to a barrel by the usual worm working in a trough. I have found that the use of a barrel for catching this refuse is objectionable, in that it takes up room and the barrels when full have to be removed and replaced by empty ones. Claim: In a threshing-machine, in combination with a grain-pan having a screen therein and a trough and worm beneath such screen, a fan supported at one end of such trough and worm therein, such worm arranged to deliver the contents of such trough to such fan, and means for revolving such fan and delivering the contents emptied therein from such worm to one end of the machine, such fan supported on a sleeve revoluble on the shaft for such worm, such sleeve also carrying a pulley by means of which such fan may be driven.
