BROOlVI-CORN TABLE-R.

Application led May 26, 1917.

T0 all whom it may concern.' f

Be it known that I, MARTIN LUTHER VADE, citizen of the yUnited States, residing at Marlow, in the county of Stephens and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom-Corn Tablers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a broom corn tabler and has for its object the production of a simple and efficient mechanism which will throw the broom corn upon the tablet as the machine is moved along the field between the rows of corn.

Another object of this invention is the production of a simple and efficient means for gripping corn stalks and throwing the broom corn upon the tabler.

With these and other objects in View, this invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine.

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section.

Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4 1 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a detail perspective of one of the tabling arms or members.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the brackets for supporting the tabling arms.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that 1 designates the table which comprises an elongated body tapering toward its rear end 2. An idle wheel 3 supports the rear end of the table 1 upon the standard 4.

A plurality of axle supporting members 5 are secured to the end face of the body and engage or support the axle 6. This axle 6 carries a plurality of driving wheels 7 which driving wheels are provided with suitable cleats 8 upon the periphery thereof for facilitating the gripping of the wheels into the corn over which the device may be passing.

A' plurality of hanger brackets 9 are secured to the sides of the table 1 and these hanger brackets are connected to the axle supporting members for bracing the same. A tongue or draft bar of suitable construction as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings is secured to the supporting members 5.

Specification. of Letters Patent.

aten-ted May 21, 191s.

Serial No. 171,256.

A sprocket wheel 12 is carried by the Shaft (5 and a sprocket chain 13 passes over this sprocket. wheel 12 and also passes over the sprocket wheel 14 carried by the shaft 15. This shaft 15 is journaled upon the journal blocks 15 carried by the side rails 16 of the table 1.

An inverted substantially U -shaped bracket 18 is secured at one end to the side rail 16 of the table as illustrated in Fig. 4 of the drawings and the driving shaft 15 passes through the depending portion 22 of the bracket 18 and has its opposite ends journaled in the depending journal blocks 15.

Each of these brackets 18 is provided with a horizontally extending portion which horizontally extending portion is provided with a vertically extending journal 17 through which passes a vertically extending shaft 20. Each of these shafts 20 carries a bevel gear 21 at its lower end which meshes with a bevel gear 23 carried by the shaft 15. The bracket 18 is also provided with a depending portion 22 above men tioned through which the shaft 15 also passes. This structure is clearly illustrated in Figs. 4L and 6 of the drawings.

A head 24 is carried by the upper end of the shaft 20 and is provided with a plurality of oppositely arranged curved fingers 25, which fingers are adapted to project beyond the table 1 and lift the corn stalks upon the table 1.

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that the operation of the device is as follows:

As the machine moves forwardly, the wheels 7, of course, will be rotated, thereby rotating the sprocket wheel 12 which in turn will rotate the shaft 15 and also rotates the shafts 20. These shafts 2O by being rotated will strike the fingers 25 and cause the broom corn to be swung upon the tabler.

As shown in Fig. 1, a suitable seat 26 is mounted upon the forward end of the table 1.

What is claimed is:

A broom corn tabler of the class described comprising a table, wheels supporting said table, an axle carried by said wheels, a sprocket wheel carried by said axle, a shaft carried by said table, a sprocket carried by said shaft, a chain for driving said sprocket, journal blocks carried by the Copies of this patent may be obtained for first mentioned shaft, and means carried by said yshafts; for rotating said finger-carrying shaft, as said first mentioned shaft is operated.

In testimony whereof I afIiX my signatur lin the presence of two Witnesses.
