To ALL WHoM 1T MAY CONCE'R'N;

413e it known thatI, HENRY PEASE, of Brockport, in the county of Monroe, in the State `of' New York, have invented newand improved Reaping and Mowing Maehincjand I do hereby declare that the following is n. full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figurel is a side view of my improvement.

FigureQ` is a side view. of the ground-wheel withthe huh D removed to show the gearingcrank-shaft, and rollers b b. l l

FigureS is n cross-section view of my improvement.

Figure 4 is a view of plate ,2vand shows the inside.

Figure 5 is an inside view of' plate 2.

Figure 6 is a. viewof the huh D detached.

Figure 7 is a view of' one of the hollow bearings 1'.

Figure 8 is a view of the grnorcd roller giving view of one of' thetwo rollers b b.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and constructmy invention, I will proceed to describe it.

D- represents a cast-iron huh which is formed o1" made oi' two circular plates, 2 2", ais-shown at fig. 4 and fig. 5. Plate 2 has a rim .or projections,`5 l, of the proper depth to receive the rimo of the ground-wheel B,

when the two plates '2 and 2" are boltcl together with the bolts 5'5 55, as shown at 55. fig. 6. The huh D has' an opering or hole, R, for the pitmanfu to pass through, as shown at R, iig. 1, fig. 3, fig. 4, and fig. 5. ,The

hub D is lade to contain the gearing that gi'res motion to the crank-shaft 40. The crank or crank-shaft 40 runs in boxes 34'and 47 which are b nlted iirln to the plate 2V, as represented `at 34 and 47,ig. 4. The hub D also contains the rollers b which rollers lla b are located in thehub D, as indicated by thc circular dotted lines 50 50, as shown at fig. 4an l Hg. 5; The hub D has t-wo projeetions,c c, to support the seat-board 28 by means of the bolts 25 48 is a. ehamler to receive the hevelwheel y. as shown at iig. G and tig. 4.and fig. 2. The huh D has boxes 52 and 57 to receive the bevel-wheel shaft 58. The box 52 has a pin-hole, as indicated by the dotted lines, as s, tig. 6, drilled to match or correspond with the groove t lin the shaft 58 for the pin 59. The .pin 59 is for the purpose'of holding the bevel-wheelry in or out of' gear with thelbevel-pinion 41, as may be desired, and is explained as follows: '..lhe piu 59 is passed down through the hole s and past the end of shaft 58 when it' is desired to have the bevel-wheel in gear with the pinion, 41; when out of gear the pin is passed down in the groove t. Plate` 2 has six' holes w to receive the holts m.' Thehuh 'D has arms d d running outwards and downwards to the shoe 14. The shoe 14 is boltedrm to the arms d 0Z \\ith bolts 18 18. Thejointed pole 32 is bolted to the arms d by bolts'l 1G.l The ground-wheel B has a'rim, o, of the proper diameter and width to receive the hub D, as shown in the drawings at fig. 8. The rim o has cogs orteethwhich 'gear iu the pinion 45. The pinion is 'made fast to the-shaft 58. The rim o is made wider than the `eogs 46, so as to form a path for the groovel 'rollers b b. The form of the rollers b is shown at b, iig. 8. The rollers b In are made with a groove, 62, ot the proper width and dept-h to clear the teeth 46 and allow the rollers b b to tra-vel on the rim o, as' shown in ,the drawings at fig. 3. I

The arrangement of the gearing that drives the pitman u is plainly shown in the drawing, as represented at iig. 2 and tig. 3, andfurther explained as follows: The internal gear or teeth 46 are made to drive the pinion 45. pinion 45 gives motion to the bevel-wheel y. The bevel-wheel y gives motion to the bevel-pinion 41.

' The bevehpinion 41 is made fast to the upper. end of crank-shaft 40.- The pitman u is fastened to the crankshaft 40 by-means of the bolt 64. This bolt 64 passes through the upper end of the pitman 'u and through the 'Pitman-box 65, in the usual manner. 'I p One object` of my improved hub D is to secure the gearing in such4 a manner as to be secure from dirt, thereby making it more durable than the common opened-geared machines.. Also, it is safer for the person attending the machine, as the gearing is covered up', which is not the case with the common machines. With my hub D I am enabled to get the principal weight of the gearing directly on the ground-wheel B, which is very important, as it allows me to use less weight to give the ground-wheel the proper traction to drive the gearing than is comm'only employed. My improved hub D also allows me to place my gearing and crankshaft further away or from the shoe 14 where the cutting apparatus is attached, as I 'am enabled to pass the pitmen u directly through 'the hub D by means of the opening or pitman-.passege R', and in such n. manner as to allow me to place the shoe 14, pitman u, and crank-shaft 40 on a line with the centre (crosswise) of the ground-wheel B, as plainly shown at iig. thereby I am enabled to use a long pitmnn to bring'the shoe 14 closer up to the ground-wheel B, :1li of which is very desirable,-as itv makes -t-he machine less cumbersome and allows the shoe 14 to follow the ground. My improved hub D is applicable for one or tivo-Wheel machines, andmay be applied to a reaping and mowing machine with twowheels by any experienced mechanic. Hub D, when `used with one Wheel, enables me to dispense with the ordina-ry frame, as I use the hub D to support the drivers ,seat 26. Also to contain the gearing, and, by meansof the arms d d which are bolted firm to the hub D, to carry the shoe 14, asV shown in the drawings at tig. 1 and fig. 3, thereby decreasing expense to the manufacturer. The hubD is carried by the rollers b b which. travel en the rim o of the ground-wheel B, and shown at fig. 3. vThe rollers b b have hollow bcnrings'r, as shown at fig. 3. Fig. 7 shows one of the hollow bearings detached. 53 is ahole to receive a pin to secure the hollow bearing in place, v52 is an oil-hole, and shown at fig. 7. 15 is a draw-holt to support the shoe. One end is made fast to the shoe 14 und the other end worksion the jointfbolt 17. 21 represents a strap of iron, forms the socket or slot for the jointed pole 32 to work in for the purpose of raising or lowering the front of the shoe 14, so as'to change the cut as desired. Anyco'mmon cutting apparatusmay `be used, and may be bolted to the shoe 14 in the ordinary manner. 20 is afoot-block for the driver. 13 is a pin to hold the jointed pole 32 at the point desired. 30,30*. are boltsto hold the seat-spring 29 irm to the seatboard 28.

My improvement also consists in the construction of the hub D in such a manner aste allow me to pass the pitman u through the ground-wheel B. It ulso consists in giving motion to the pitman u, passing through the hub D and ground-heel B, by means of gearing or bevel-wheel y, located on the opposite side ofthe groundwheel B to that occupied by the shoe 14, as fully. explained. l

' Operation.

Motionis given to theground-wheel B. Motion is communicated to pinion 45, from theinternal gear 4.6 to the bevel-wheel y, from bevetwheel g/ to hevel-pinion 4l, which causes the crunk-shaft 4.0 to rotate, thereby giving the proper motion te the pitnian u. i

After haring thus described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

V 1. The hub D, incombination with the pitrnnn u, crunk 40,bevel-wheel y, bevel-pinion 41, rollers b I2, sei1tsupports c c, nrin or arms tl d, pitinnn-passnge R, and ground-wheel B, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

2. The hub D, in combination with the arms d d, pitman u, and Pitman-passage or opening R, substantially .as described and f'or the purpose set forth.

3. The hub D, in combination with thc rollers b b, pitmnn 2t, hollow bearings 1' 1, and pitman-passage o r opening R, substantinlly as described und for the purpose set forth,

4. The double or grooved rollers b b, in combination with the hub' D and treatl-rim o and internal geur 46,V

substantially4 as described and for the purpose set forth.
