1,005,088. Haymaking machines. C. VAN DER LELY N.V. June 20, 1962 [July 17, 1961], No. 23842/62. Heading AlF. A side-delivery rake comprises a frame carrying a plurality of rake-wheels which are divided into two groups 3, 4 and 5, 6 each mounted on a beam 1, 2, these beams being parallel and forming part of a para- Helogram linkwork, the links 1, 2, 12, 13 being pivoted together so that the implement can be brought from a position wherein the rake-wheels are in a single row, for side-delivery (Fig. 1) to a second position (Fig. 2, not shown) for swathturning, the rake-wheels themselves being pivotable about vertical axes so that they can be turned into a third position (Fig. 3) for tedding. The linking beams 12, 13 are V-shaped and carry alternative attachment points 28, 31 for a drawbar 29, and bearings for castor-wheels 23, 24. A lockable swivel-wheel 25 is carried on an extension 26 of the beam 2 which passes through the hub of the rearmost rake-wheel 6. The hinge-connections 7, 8, 9, 10 between the beams include locking pins 33 to secure the beams in alternative settings. The rakewheel hubs are similarly mounted on the beams 1, 2 by sector-plates 20 and pins 22.
