Description: |
| 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. |
