Description: |
| Abstract:
In the operation of threshing and other similar machines it is common to drive the machine by means of an endless belt of considerable length and an engine set some distance from the machine. Difficulty is experienced in getting the driving-pulley of the engine in exact alignment with the driven pulley of the machine, and it is necessary to provide some means for properly guiding the driving-belt in order to compensate for the lack of accurate alinement for the two pulleys.
Claim:
A belt-guide consisting of a suitable standard, an idler-carriage Journaled thereon, an idler journaled on said carriage, a pair of guide-rollers carried by said carriage to one side of the idler, the axis of the journaled connection between the carriage and standard passing to one side of the axis of the idler and intersecting the plane of the axes of the guide-rollers substantially in the plane of the belt, and means for holding the idler-carriage in various positions of angular adjustment on the standard. |
