Description: |
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"A horse, ox, or other heavy animal, is to travel upon an inclined wheel, which by bevelled gearing is to give motion to a thrashing cylinder, with beaters, and also to a feeding apron, just like other thrashing cylinders, and feeding aprons. The whole is to be placed upon truck wheels, so that it may be drawn about from place to place.
I do not claim a right to the inclined wheels, or to the beaters; but I claim as my invention, the particular combination of machinery attached to the inclined wheel, for moving the beaters, for the purpose of thrashing grain, &c."
