POLE- DUMPING-CAR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 2'7, 1913.

Application filed November '14, 1912. Serial No. 731,361.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Luann}; DYE, a citi zen of the United States, resident of St. Paul, in the county of VVise and State of Virginia. have made a certain new and useful Invention in Pole Dumping-Cars; and I declare the following to be .a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such !as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the invention,

reference being had to'the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is an end view of a car having my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the bed in dumpingposition. Fig. 3 is a side view of a car having my invention applied thereto. Fig. 4 is a partial plan View of the same.

Theobject of the invention is to provide a durable and easily operated pole dumping car; and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of devices, as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, the numeral 2 represents the car frame or truck, which is. provided with a guard platform 3, upon which operate longitudinal rollers 4, which are detach.- ably connecte to the truck by holding chains 5 and :izniting chains 6, lag bolts or bolts having bar heads being used.

The car frame or truck'2 is supported upon wheels 8, andis PIOVidQd with a sillsupported platform 3, having a plane surface and being designed to form the bearing for the rollers 4. These rollers are preferably made tubular, or ofpi eiron, and are a little longer than the plat orm. The ends of the pipe rollers are provided with hard wood plugs 9, and each plug is provided with a central lag bolt which projects from the plug for the attachment of the chains.

The pole dumping bed 7 consists of the board bottom 11, extended side sills 12, middle sill 13, end braces 14, end boards 15 and hinged side board 16. The bed bottom 11 is about as wide as the truck platform, the

side sills extending about one foot beyond each end of the bed and being, fashioned to serve as handles for lifting the dumping bed. Usually the width of the bed is six feet. six inches. The braces 14 are secured to each other and to the sills of the dumping bed, a pipe roller bein located between each sidesill and the mid le sill., The diameter of the pipe roller is greater than the thickness of the sills, being usually about four inches, so that the sills of the dumping bed are sup orted by the pipe rollers clear of the truck p atform.

To themiddle of the end sill of the truck frame at each end of thecar are connected chains 6, whereof the outer ends are connected to the la bolts of the roller plugs. Each of these 0 ains is designed to be of limited and proper length to allow the pipe roller to move on the truck platform to near the edge of the latter, in which position it forms a. pivot, operating against the middle sillvof the bed, to facilitate the tipping of the latter in dumping its contentsat the side of the road. The normal positionof each pipe roller is about half way between the middle sill andthe side sill of the .bed bottom, where it is designed to support the load to the best advantage. in order to keep the pipe rollers in position during transportation, short chalns 5 are employed, these being connected to the truck frame and to the lag bolts of the pipe rollers. These lag bolts may have heads of bar, form, so that the links of the chains may be easily connected thereto or, detached therefrom.

The sides of the bed bottom are provided with staples 17, to enga e hook ends 18 of the straps 19 of the side oard 1.6, the straps and staples forming string hinges whereby the side board is connected to the side oi zontal position, in which it provides a additional part or extension ofthe du ping,

bed at the side of the road, to clear the ballasting or margin of the embankment of the road. When the car is to be carried any great distance." or over a rough road, the dumping bed may be secured to the truck by 'meanaof a steady bolt or fastening 20, which can, be easily disconnected when the car arrives atthe place of use. The dumping bed is capable of being readily detached from the platform truck, and can be lifted oil? and replaced upon the truck when so re uired.

bhould it be required to discharge. the load in the middle of the track instead of on the sides the bearing rollers may be arran ed on the truck platform in transverse position, the limiting chains being in this case snitab y connected to the sides of the car frame or truck. And in order. to pre vent the truck from rearing or tipping up on its wheels, a detachable drop hook should be provided in connection with the be hooked under the rail.

Having described the invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: a

' 1. In a dumping car, a latform truck, a dumpin bed having a mi dle sill and extended si e sills, a bearing roller parallel to and between said middle sill andeach side truck to;

as a

3. A dumping bed for a platform truck,

said bed comprising a bed bottom a-middle sill and side sills, a bearinp to and between each side sil and the middle sill, end boards, a detachable hinged side board and detachable limiting chains.

4. In a dumping car, a platform truck, a dumping bed having a middle sill and side sills, bearing rollers between the truck platform and dumpini bed and detachable chains connecting t e rollers to the plat form truck.

In testimony whereof I aflix' mysignature, in presence of two witnesses. 3
