Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention relates to that class of machines known as "traveling; harvesters," in which the grain is cut, delivered to the threshing-cylinder, threshed, separate ,and cleaned in continuous operations. It consists in improved means for connecting the header portion with the threshing- machine frame and in~ means for transmitting power from the driving parts of the threshing-machine portion to drive the sickle-carrying belt or draper-reel and various parts of the header mechanism.
Claim:
In a traveling harvester and in combination with the threshing-machine and header frames thereof, means connecting the rear inner corner of the header-frame with the other frame and including a normally-open socket on one frame and a hook on the other frame forming with said socket a substantially-universal joint whereby the outer end of the header-frame is permitted to rise and fall and the front of the header-frame is permitted to be raised and depressed for cutting different heights of grain. |
