P and R in the levers, the tongs may be so adjusted asto applyto kegs, barrels, or hogsheads.
To use mysaid device, the barrel is laid np'on itsA side; the centers b b are placed on the opposite-heads of the barrel, so that they will rest as near the center of the head as possible. The `handles A and E are then strainedtogether, and' as they close will press the centers b and b into the heads of the barrel, and thel pawl on the handle E,-,resting inone of the teeth of the ratchet I K, will hold the arms or levers in that position; The operator now grasps the handlesv firmly, and by .pulling or pushingV can4 roll to any desired position.
For rollingI heavy 'hogshcada a horse or mule can be attached, if desired,
By lifting thepawl out of the ratchet, the centers b and b may he easily released from the barrel. What .I claim, and desire to secure by Letters the barrel `Patent, is- Y i The combination and arrangement'of the levers A' A,B o D and n F G H, the maken 1 K, with the pawl on the arm -E F, and the centers b and b, whenv con- 'strueted and used in manner and form substantially as set forth.
