@uuamtoz I/9mm 3 a l I CHRISTIAN H. .AHLFS, or CLARA-CITY, MINNESOTA.
SPOUT-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 15, 1916.
Application filed April 29, 1916. Serial No. 94,408.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN H. AH rs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Clara City, in the county of Chippewa and State of Minnesota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spout-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to holders for the spouts of loading elevators, and the object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character which may be conveniently attached to different points in thevcar to be loaded and which carries means whereby the spout may be adjustably supported thereon.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form a cation, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a car with parts broken away showing the device attached to a rafter and supporting a loading spout. Fig. 2 is a detail side elevation on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail elevation of the rope grip employed.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 represents a grain car provided with rafters 2 and a plurality of door closing panels 3. A flexible elevator loading spout is shown at 4 and is provided with a loop handle 5 on its outer section.
The supporting device comprises an elongated manipulating handle 6 upon the outer end of which is secured a ferrule 7 having extending at an angle therefrom the pulley supporting portion 8 of an attaching hook 9 whose terminal is pointed, as shown at 10, so that the same may be stuck into one of the rafters 2 of the car. Secured to the portion 8 of the hook is an ordinary awning pulley 11 and traveling over the pulley is a supporting rope 12, one end of which is passed around the outer section of the spout through the looped handle 5. The rope passes through a guiding eye 13 on the handle and is adjustably mounted in a rope grip 14. This rope grip 14: is made in the form of a hook 15 having a pointed hook part of this appliend 16 and an enlarged head 17 at the opposite end in which is formed a slot 18 whose walls converge toward the outer end of the head, so as to bind upon the rope.
In practice the hook 9 has its pointed end 10 stuck in any suitable portion of the car, such as the rafter 2, and the pointed end 16 of the rope grip also stuck in any suitable portion of the car. The rope is then operated so as to draw the spout up to the required position and the end of the rope is then let go so that it will bind in the constricted portion of the slot 18.
While I have shown and described what I consider the preferred embodiment of the lnvention, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to this exact construction, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.
What is claimed is 1. A device of the class described comprising a pointed hook member, a handle therefor, a spout supporting cable adjustably mounted upon the hook member, and a freely mounted cable grip adapted to be attached to a suitable support.
2. A device of'the class described comprising a pointed hook member, a handle therefor, a cable adjustably mounted upon the hook member, a guide for the cable carried by the handle, a cable grip, and a pointed hook formed thereon for attaching the grip to a support.
3. A device of the class described comprising a pointed hook member, a handle therefor, a pulley carried by the hook member, a guide carried by the handle, a rope passed through the guide and over the pulley and adapted to have one end attached to the loading spout, a rope grip, and a pointed hook formed on the grip for attaching the same to a support.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
CHRISTIAN H. AH-LFS.
