M. 1. BARNEY. WAGON BED. V APPLICATION FILED AUG. 14, I912.
Mfr/265565 I Mm M QZYZVL Z Z' IVIABIK J. BARNEY, OF LAKE CRYSTAL, MINNESOTA. 1
WAGON-BED.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 11, 1916.
Application filed August 14, 1912. Serial No. 715,106.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARK J. BARNEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Lake Crystal, Blue Earth county, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wagon-Beds, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to Wagon beds, and more particularly to that type of wagon bed having a dumping bottom.
The objects of the invention are to provide a wagon bed which is comparatively simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and convenient to operate.
The novel features of the invention will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wagon bed embodying the invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same; Fig. 4 is a section on the line AB of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is an end elevation; and Figs. 6 and 7 are details shown on an enlarged scale.
Referring to the drawings, a-a indicate the sides of the bed and b-Z the ends thereof. Secured to the lower edges of the e is a bar f, which is also provided with bearings for the rods 61 and assists in supporting the same. In the drawings the bottom boards a are shown in the closed position, and from Figs. 3 and 4 it will be observed that the rods or tubes d are connected with the bottom boards 0 adjacent one side of the latter, and in order to support the free edge of the bottom boards I have provided the brace rods j which are secured to the rods (1 by means of the bolts 2'.
For the purpose of operating the bottom boards 0, to open and close the same, I have provided a cross-rod or shaft g, which is preferably arranged adjacent the bar-f and connected with the rods (2 by the flexible members Z, chains being preferably used for this purpose. Each of the rods a? is connected with the shaft 9 by two flexible members as clearly shown in Figs. 6 and 7 so that when the shaft 9 is oscillated, movement will be transmitted to the rods cl'and through the latter to the boards 0. An operating handle or lever '71, is secured to one end ofthe shaft 9 and arranged in a guide member m, this guide member being preferably of sufi'icient length to permit the boards a to be rocked through an angle of 90. Any suitable latching mechanism may be provided for locking the lever 72, in position, and as latching mechanisms for this purpose are well known and form no part of the present invention I have omitted the same from the drawings.
From the drawings it will be obvious that in rocking the lever h from the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2 to the dotted position, the bottom boards will be moved into a vertical position to permit the load to be discharged therethrough. After the load has been discharged the bottom boards may be restored to the closed position by moving the lever h to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed'is:
In a wagon bed, the combination of a box, a plurality of'boards forming the bottom of said box, pivotally supported rods secured to said boards, a shaft extending transversely of the box at one end thereof and at right angles to said rods, flexible members having their ends secured on said shaftand wound thereon and on said rods whereby all of said rods may be oscillated by rocking said shaft, an operating lever for said shaft arranged at the side of the box, and a guide for said lever adapted to limit its movements when the boards are in closed and fully open positions.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
