Appl cation fi ed u y 8, 13- erial No. 777, 30
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, RLGHARD P. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hunter, in the county of Garfield and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and use fnl Skid, of which the following is a speci A further object is to provide a safety skid with an apron secured to and adjacent the bottom extremity thereof and which apron is disposed at an angle to the skid whereby the downward velocity of the barrels will be checked and the barrels reaching the lower platform will move substantially tangential thereto.
A further object is to provide a safety skid with a head bar extending over the upper platform and with which a barrel initially contacts so as to prevent the skid from being moved away from the platform.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construct-ion hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings accompanying this specification the preferable form of my invention is illustrated, in which Figure 1 is a view in erspective of my improved safety skid. Flg. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof with the apron folded within the safety skid as it will be during the non-use of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view.
Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 4 are the guide rails held in spaced relation by the struts or cross bars 5. The strut bars 5 dip downwardly at their center portion so as not to interfere with the curved portion of a barrel during its transit down the skid.
The guide rails 4 are provided with their top extremities and the under surfaces of the lower extremities beveled. The inclination of the bevels is such that during the normal use of the skid, the lower bevel will be substantially horizontal while the u per bevel will be downwardly inclined at a s ight ngle.
. Xtencling along the under surface of each guide rail are the reinforcing strips .6 preferably formed of metal and which extend along t e lower bevel and termina e in the downwardly extending claws or prongs 7, the latter being adapted to bite into and engage the lower platform or the ground upon whi h they rest. .A numb r f screws 8 extend through the rein o c ng s rips and g ly secure the same to the guide rails. The upper extremities of the strips are bent as at 9 to engage the head bar 10, after which the strips are bent forwardly along the upper bevel portion as illustrated at 11. Thehead bar 10 is thus held positioned beyond the uppermost extremity of the side rails and is thus adapted to extend within a car with the result that when a barrel is being'positioned upon the skid it is lifted over and on the head bar which prevents the skid from being moved away from the car which thereby renders unnecessary any upper securing means as it is thought will be readily apparent.
Extending between the guide rails adjacent their lower extremities is a shaft 12 upon which is j ournaled the apron 18. The
Having thus fully described the invention,
what I claim to be new and original with me is 1. A skid comprising guide rails, means extending therebetween and adapted to hold the same in spaced relation, a shaft extending between the guide rails adjacent the lower extremities thereof, an apron journaled upon the said shaft and adapted to rotate about the same as an axis, said apron formed of a sheet of wide fiat material and adapted to extend at an angle to the guide rails.
2. A skid comprising spaced guide rails, a reinforcing member extending around the under edge thereof and terminating in downwardly extendingv claws at the lower extremities of said guide rails, a shaft ex tending between the guide rails adjacent the lowerextremities thereof, and an apron rotatably mounted upon and secured to said shaft, extending at an angle to said guide rails and adapted to fold therebetween during the non-use thereof.
3. A skid comprising guide rails, downwardly curved strut bars extending between said guide rails and adapted to hold the same inspaced relation, reinforcing strips secured to the under edges of said guide rails and terminating at their lower extremities in downwardly extending claws, a head bar extending between the said guide rails and secured thereto by the said reinforcing strips, said head bar adapted to rest upon an upper platform for the supporting of the skid, a shaft rigidly secured to and extending between the lower extremities of the said guide rails, an apron provided with a curled portion rotatably secured to the said shaft between the said guide rails adapted to guide the movements of the transported articles substantially tangential to the lower surface upon which the skid rests, said apron adapted'to fold between the said guide rails during the non-use thereof.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
