CART.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 10, 1911.

Application filed August 24,1910. Serial No. 578,807.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR N. Donn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carts, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The invention relates to new and useful improvements in carts, and more especially carts which are adapted for carrying concrete or other similar material.

In laying concrete paving, floors and the like, it is desirable to carry the material in a cart which is so constructed that the receptacle holding the material may be inverted and said material discharged beneath the cart. Then again, in discharging the concrete material into bins or forms, it is desirable to limit the movement of the discharging receptacle, so that the material may be poured into the form or bin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cart of the above character with a receptacle for the material, which may be readily turned completely over, in order to dump the material directly underneath the cart, and to provide means for extending the delivering side of the receptacle, so that the material may be poured from the receptacle and discharged at one side of the axis of the cart.

In the drawings which show by way of illustration one embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a side view of a cart having my improvements applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the same; Fig. 3 is a side view of the detachable spout; Fig. 4 is an end view of the detachable spout.

In carrying out my invention, I have provided a receptacle 1 for the material which is to be conveyed, which receptacle is pivotally mounted on wheels 2, 2, which may be of any desired construction. As herein shown, the wheels 2, 2, are mounted on an axle 3.

The receptacle is composed of end members 4, 4, which are preferably formed of sheet metal and riveted to collars 5, which are fixed upon the axle 3, by being shrunk thereon and riveted to the end plates, so that said receptacle may be readily swung with respect to the wheels. Reinforcing plates 6 may be attached to the outside of the side portions and riveted to the collars .5 by the rivets which hold the side pieces to said collars.

v The end portions 4 are preferably bent inwardly to form a flange 7. The bottom 8 of the receptacle is also of sheet metal, and is bent so as to extend upwardly at the front and rear of the receptacle. The end portions and bottom are preferably shaped so as to form a curved bottom portion and outwardly inclined'side portions 9, 9.

, The bottom portion 8 is riveted to the flanges on the end portions 4. Bars 10 are preferably riveted to the body of the receptacle adjacent the upper edge thereof, and each of said bars 10 is formed with an extension 11. The extensions 11 are connected by a rod 12, which serves as a handle for the receptacle, and as a means for propelling the cart. The ends 4 of the receptacle extend slightly above the bars 10, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.

The side of the receptacle opposite the handle bar is the delivering side. This delivering side of the receptacle proper terminates at a point within the periphery of the supporting wheels, and, therefore, the receptacle can be completely inverted so that the contents thereof may be discharged directly beneath the cart.

A spout 13 is formed with an inclined central portion 14, and side members 15. The inclined central portion 14 extends below the side members, as at 16, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. The spout is adapted to be attached to the body of the receptacle, and the central portion 14 as clearly shown in Fig. 1, will be in line with the side portion 9 of the cart, while the side portions 15 of the spout will rest on the bars 10 and said side portions of the spout are adapted to be secured to the end portions 4 by suitable bolts 17. The depending portion 16 of the spout extends into the receptacle, and may be attached thereto by suitable bolts.

It will be readily seen that the spout may be quickly detached from the receptacle by removing the securing bolts. The spout extends to a point beyond the periphery of the wheels, and when said receptacle is inverted in discharging material into forms or the like, said spout would limit the movement of the receptacle, and serve as a means whereby the material may be poured from the receptacle into the forms.

When it is desired to use the -cart as a dumping cart wherein the receptacle is completely inverted, the spout is removed, and for convenience in carrying, said spout may be attached to the opposite side of the receptacle through the bolt hole 18, formed in the upper edge of the end members above the bars 10.

It is obvious that other means than that herein shown may be provided if desired, for removing the spout from the delivering position shown in Fig. 1, so that the receptacle may be completely inverted.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

1. A cart including in combination, supporting wheels, a receptacle pivotally supported by said wheels and having its delivering side terminating within the periphery of said wheels, a delivering spout forming an extension of the delivering side of said receptacle, and means for detachably connecting said spout to said receptacle.

2. A cart including in combination, supporting wheels, a receptacle pivotally supported by said wheels and having its delivery side terminating within the periphery of said wheels, a delivering spout, and means for detachably connecting said delivering spout to the delivering side of the receptacle, said spout being so constructed as to have its delivering edge extending beyond the periphery of the supporting wheels, whereby the contents of the receptacle may be discharged at a point at one side of the axis of the wheels.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR N. DOUD.
