Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 18, 1913.
Application filed February 27, 1911. Serial No. 611,261.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES A. WHITTIING- TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lanark, in the county of Bradley and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Log- Wagons, of which the following is a specification.
My invention has relation to new and useful improvements in log wagons and the,
main object thereof is to produce a device of this nature whereby the logs will be held against sidewise movement and, at the same time, as many logs may be earned upon a wagon employing my invention, as said wagon will conveniently carry. Secured to each end of the wagon is a cross beam to which is slidably secured bumper blocks with means for holding said blocks. These cross beams may be secured one to the rear stationary bolster or said stationary bolster may be considered the cross beam and used as such for it is a cross beam, and the front cross beam may be secured to the front swinging bolster or said front swinging bolster may be considered as a cross beam, for 1t 1s a cross beam, or I may use only one cross beam in which case I may use either the front or rear cross beams or bolster. The bumper blocks may be made rectangular or the side faces of the same may be inclined, as illustrated in the drawing, if desired.
Further objects of my invention are to produce a device of the above nature that will be eflicient in operation, durable and inexpensive to manufacture.
The virtue of the invention lies in the construction thereof which construction is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the opposite face of the invention as illustrated in Fig. 1, also showing the perfo rated metallic bar 12 secured to said cross beam. Fig. 3 is a vertical, transverse, sectional view, on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one of the bumper blocks and the stirrup which receives the same, together with fastening means to secure the block in a desired position upon said cross beam.
Referring more particularly to the drawings in which like numerals designate like parts throughout, my invention is described as follows: The bumper blocks 1 are preferably provided with inclined faces 2 and parallel upper and lower faces. The lower face of each block contacts the upper face of its respective cross beam 3. Extending longitudinally with the cross beam 3 and secured upon one of the vertical faces thereof near its upper edge is a rod 4 held removably in position by means of the eyelets 5. Hingably secured to each rod 1 is a pair of stirrups 6, each of which receives a respective bumper block 1, said bumper blocks each bemg held in position to its respective stirrup by means of a screw 7 Said stirrups 6 are rectangular in shape to conform to the vertical and upper faces of their respective bumper blocks, one member of said stirrup terminating in a sleeve 6. Secured to the vertical member 8 of each stirrup by means of an eyelet 9 is a hook 10, each of which hooks is adapted to be received by one of the perforations 11 in the metallic bar 12 which is secured to the opposite vertical face of the cross beam 3 to which the rod 4: is secured. When it is desired to carry only a few logs the bumper blocks are slid toward each other to a desired position, when they are secured in place by means of said hooks 10 engaging respective perforations 11 in said bar 12 as is described. When a large number of logs is being carried the bumper blocks may be slid apart until they reach the respective ends of their cross beam, if necessary, or they may be halted and secured at any point along the beam to which they are mounted and at which they are adapted to be held in place.
When it is desired to load a wagon employing my devices the bumper blocks at one side thereof are swung, in conjunction with their stirrups, upon the rod 4, so that the upper face of each block is downward and the under face thereof upward leaving that end of said cross beam unobstructed. This facilitates in the loading of the wagon and when the desired number of logs are placed thereon, the blocks and stirrups are again placed into proper position upon the cross beams and secured by the hook 10. I
The above is also done while unloading for the reason that when the blocks are swung out of position they do not interfere with the logs which may be rolled from the wagon and thereby no lifting is required.
Although I have specifically described the construction and operation of my invention, yet I do not confine myself to such specific ment longitudinally with respect to said cross beam and to be secured in place thereto, stirrups, one secured to each block, a longitudinal rod secured to one vertical face shown and described.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
