Claim.—l. In a harvesting machine the combination with the platform, a standard hinged at inner end of same, and a bracket supported by said standard, of the reel shaft having bearing at one end in said bracket, a standard at the end of said platform comprising a lower portion the end of which is suitably hinged to said platfrom, a lower level intermediate portion, an upper intermediate portion, upper vertically extending rack provided portion, a bracket movable on said upper vertically extending rack provided portion and in which the outer end of said reel shaft, has its bearing, a toothed pinion secured to said reel shaft and meshing in the rack of said upper vertically extending portion of said standard, the reel loosely mounted in said reel shaft, means for rotating said reel, means for raising and lowering same by rotating said reel shaft, means for locking said standard hinged at the inner end mid platform, means for locking said standard hinged at the outer end of said platform, and means for simultaneously
unlocking said standards so as to permit of their forward and backward movements.

3. In a harvestng machine the combination with the platform, a standard hinged at inner end of same, and a bracket supported by said standard, of the reel shaft having bearing at one end in said bracket, a standard at the outer end of said platform comprising a lower portion the forward and of which suitably hinged to said platform, a lower tooth provided intermediate portion, an upper intermediate portion, an upper vertically extending rack provided portion, a bracket movable on said upper vertically extending rack provided portion and in which the outer end of said shaft has its bearing, a toothed pinion secured to said reel shaft and meshing. In the rack of said upper vertically extending portion of said standard, the reel loosely mounted in said reel shaft, means for rotating said reel means for raising and lowering same by rotating said reel shaft, means for locking said standard hinged at the inner end of said platform, a standard supported from said platform supported by said standard and designed to from by locking and unlocking said standard hinged at the inner end of said platform, and means connecting said lever to said dog, the operation of said lever simultaneously making said standards so as to permit of their forward and backward movements.
3. Ina harvesting machine the combination with the platform, standard hinged at the inner end of same, a bracket supported by said standard, the reel supported at one end in said bracket, and means for operating said reel, of a standard at the other end of said platform and comprising a lower portion the forward end of which is suitably hinged at said platform, a lower intermediate portion, an upper intermediate portion, and an upper vertically extendimg portion, means carried by said upper vertically extending portion whereby the outer end of said reel is supported by said standard in such a manner as to keep the reel parallel to said platform, means for locking said standard hinged at the inner end of said platform, means for locking said standard hinged at the outer end of said platform, and means for simultaneously unlocking the locking means for said standards so that said standards may be moved forward or backward on their hinged points.

4. In a harvesting machine the combination with the platform, a standard hinged at the inner end of same, a bracket supported by said standard, the reel supported at one end in said bracket, and means for operating said reel, of a standard at the other end of said platform and comprising a lower portion the forward end of which is sultablh hinged at said platform, a lower tooth provided intermediate portion, an upper intermediate portion, and an upper vertically extending portion, means carried by said upper vertically extending portion whereby the outer end of said reel is supported by said standards in such a manner as to keep the reel parallel to said platform, means for locking said standard hinged at the inner end of said platform, moans for locking said standard hinged at the outer end of said platform co-operating with the tooth provided Intermediate portion of said standard, and means for simultaneously unlocking the locking means for said standards so that said standards may be moved forward or backward on their hinged points.

5. In a harvesting machine the combination with the platform, of a standard at the outer end of said platform comprising a lower portion the forward end of which is suitably hinged on said platform, said lower portion normally occupying a substantially horizontal position, a lower intermediate portion constructed vertically concentric to the hinged point of said standard, an upper intermediate portion normally occupying substantially a horizontal position, and an upper vertically extending portion, a standard supported from said platform and designed to give additional support to said other standard, and means supported by said second-mentioned standard so as to lock said first-mentioned standard in the desired poition.

6. In an harvesting machine the combination with the platform, of a standard at the outer end of said platform comprising a lower portion, the forward end of which is suitably hinged on said platform, said lower portion normally occupying a substantially horizontal position, a lower intermediate portion constructed vertically concentric to the hinged point of said standard, an upper intermediate portion normally occupying substantially a horizontal position, an upper vertically extending portion, a standard supported from said platform and designed to give additional support to said other standard, means supported by said second-mentioned standard so as to lock said first-mentioned standard in the desired position, and a spring so placed as to assist the movements of said first-mentioned standard around its pivotal point.

7. In an harvesting machine the combination with the platform of a standard at the upper end of said platform comprising a lower portion, the forward end of which is suitably hinged on said platform, said lower portion normally occupying a substantially horizontal position, a lower tooth provided intermediate portion constructed vertically concentric to the hinged point of said standard, an upper intermediate portion normally occupying substantially a horizontal position, and an upper vertically extending portion, the second-mentioned standard supported from said platform, a bracket secured to said standard and through which passes the lower tooth provided intermediate portion of said first-mentioned standard so as to support same, a dog hinged to said second-mentioned standard and co-perating with the teeth in said lower intermediate portion so that said first-mentioned standard may be locked in the desired position.
