IMPROVEMENT 1N HAY smeren.

T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH T. BRENEMAN, of Springfield, in the county of Mahoning, andState of Ohio7 have invented certain new and useful improvements in Hay Stackersg' and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference-being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specication, in which- Figure l is a front view of the stacker.

Figure 2a detached section.

Like letters of' reference refer to like parts in the diiferent views.

A, fig. l, isa strong wooden frame. B is a secondary beam, upon which is made to slide the block C. Within this bleek are arranged the rollers D and sheave E, tig. 2. F is a catch'; G a nib over which the catch falls. H is an arm, one end being connected to the block C, and the other to the catch bythe links I. J is a pair of dependent arms, between the lower ends of which is the sheave K. L is a run-rope, one end being connected to the arm H, passing upward over the sheaves in the block, thence to and around the sheaves M in the standard of the frame. P is a drag-rope, one end of which'is connected to the block by the loop d. Passing thence over the sheave K to this rope is suspended the weight Ol The manner of operating the stacker is as follows: The frame, on being set up where it is desired to build the stack, which may be supposed to be at the left-hand side, between the post and the block, the load is then drawn immediately under the block, from which depends the fork by which the hay is to be lifted. For this purpose may be used any of the tripping horse forks now in use. The fork is attached to the rope L, and on being pulled down and fixed into the hay, it is then raised up by the run-rope until the knot N reaches the arm H. The knot being unable to pass through the hole, the arm is thereby raised up-in the direction indicated by the dotted lines a, tig. 1. It being connected to theca'tch by the dotted lines I, as above described, forces the catch above the nib. The block being then released, is then drawn along the beam on the rollers referred t0 until the hay is over the place where it is to be dropped. The fork is then tripped, and the hay lfalls into the place designedfor it. The block is then brought back over the load by the Weight O, above described. In order to prevent the fork dropping down on the slacking of the run-rope, and before it reaches the load, an enlargement of the rope is made at such a distance from the fork that when it is drawn up it will bebetween the two rollers E, as shown in tig. 2 cbeing the swell in the rope. i This enlargement of the rope is not so great as to prevent it from passing through the nhole in the arm, but so large that it cannot pass between the under side of the beam and the sheave until it comes over the load. At this point the beam is grooved out, so as t0 allow room for it .to pass and the fork to drop to the load.

This apparatusmaybe used in a barn as well as in the fields, by running a beam across the floor and bay of the barn and placing a block thereon lin the manner above described.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

vThe construction and. arrangement of the. rollers l), sheaves E, block C, catch F, arm H, links I, and rope L, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
