JA inited' what WILLIAM MCNAUGHTEN, or Urrea/c1110.'
stent (Milice.
' lmovEMl-:NT 1N' ELEvA-rons FoR MERcHANDisE.
AThe Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part o! the lema.-
To all rwhom it may concern: Beit known that I, WILLIAM MGNAUGHTEN, of
`Utica, in the county of -Licking and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Mode of Elevat-ing Merchandise, Gac., from Cellars; and I do hereby declare-that the following is a'full, clear, and exact l descriptionthereof, reference being had to theuccompanying drawinginy which- Figure l is a perspective view'.
Figure 2 is a central vertical section. Figure 3, a side view o f the cars or elevators.
Like' letters designating like parts in all the iig yures. l
The nature of my invention consists in a peculiar constructionand arrangement of cars and tracks, by
means of which articles may be elevated from cellars to pavcments, orv fr ce persen-or from one story of. a
building 'to another.
V"loenablethose skilled in the art to make and .use
` my inventlong-IwilI -proceed to describe its construction and operation. In the drawing- A represents al cellar;
-B B are mils forming the track, which 'are laid on the door o f the cellar; and
lax' frames, the top and rear of which are at rightI anglesto each other, the inclination of the rails B" gweming the length of th'e rear part of the' frames. A The lowensides of the frames areintended to sit prallel to the tracks B', and the top of the car to' retain its horizontal position.
t At the front end of the frames are' curved extensions or hooks a, into which the frontend of the frame of lthe car E fits.
b' b are flanged wheels on the under side of the car D, the flanges titting between the rails.
The car E may be simply"a platform on, wheels, which run'on the .tracksB B.A
Outside of the building, at any desired distance, is a windlass, H, which I'nay be of the ordinary construction.
f Under the pavement is a hollow space, pipe, or'
l open box, a', which extends from the windlass to the top of the steps leading to the cellar.
I represents a rope, which extends from the car'E up the steps into the pipeor open box a, and through that to the' windlass H.
When itv is desired to raise the cars above the pavement, the rails F F are placed in position on the pavementat the upper ends ofthe rails B' B', as seen in lig. 1. l
These rails are secured together by cross-pieces wheels or rollers X X.
The legs h h are heldin their-proper position by*' F F are rails, whicharei secured `together' by crosspieces m b.
At the upper ends of these rails are hinged legs h h,
between which is a cross-piece, m.
'At the lower ends of the rails F and legs 'h are rods I d, on one end of which is a. hook, which fastens into staples or eyes on the legs h.
c c Vare braces. eis vertical forked--rod, placed between the'legs h h, the lower end of which -is bent toward-the incl-ining rails F F. In the upper ends of the Vforks are eyes, through which the cross-piece b passes, l A On this cross-pice, between the, two forks of the rod e, is a grooved pulley, fr. The rod d is fastened to the cross-'piece fm.-l
Attached to this is a rod, f, ou-the end, of which .is a hook.
When the 'angular carl) is on the rails F F, this hook 'slips lover its lower a'xle g, thus holding it securely. In the pavement is a hook or staple, J, into which the hook on the lower end of the vertical rod e fits, thus holding the rails F F firmly in their position.
Its operation is as follows:
The car E rests on the track BB with'its load.
By turning the windlass,` the rope I is wound around it, thus drawing the oar E forward into the 'angular car D, and the frontof the frame of the 'car E enters the hooks a a on4 the car D, thus, as it were, combining the twov cars in one, and. by the continued winding up of the rope .l, draws both cars up to the pavement, where the car E can be unloaded.
When it is desired to raise the cars above the pavement, the portable tracks F F are placed' andA f secured in position, the end of the rope I is brought up to and around the pulley r on the cross-piece b; then down andsecured to the car E, and by the drawing up of the rope, the cars will be drawn up on the tracks F F and securely held there by placing the hooks on the rod f over the axle g ofthe carD.
By-unwinding the rope the portable tracks F F, with the, cars, can be run across the pavement to the curb to be unloaded.
Having thus fully described my invention,
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patcnt, is
' Thel merchandise-elevator herein described,- consisting of the cars D and E, rails B', portable'track F, windlass H,vand pipe or box, a', when arranged and operating as shown and described. l
WM.' MCNAUGHTEN.
