Description

A. 1. NEEB. I AUTOMATIC LITTER CARRIER.
APPLICATION FILED JUNE 4, I917.
Patented Jan. 8, 1918.
I n uantoz ARTHUR J. NEEB, 0F UTICA, MINNESOTA.
AUTOMATIC LITTER-CARRIER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J an. 8, 1918.
Application filed June 4, 1917. Serial No. 172,714.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR J. Nnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Utica, in the county of lVinona and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Automatic Litter-Carrier, of which the following is a specification.
The subject of this invention is an automatic carrier adapted to transport material from one point to another, and the objects of the invention are, first, to provide a carrier which will carry material from one point and deposit it at another and return for another load, second, to provide a gravity actuated automatic carrier, third, to provide an automatically shifting cable anchor, fourth, to provide a simple and eflicient carrier.
WVith 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 construction hereinafter described and claimed, itv 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.
One practical embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a carrier constructed in accordance with'my invention, the central portion of the cable broken away. 1 r
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the receiving end of the system showing the cable anchor in depressed position.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the shifting cable anchor.
Fig. -1 is a sectional view taken on the line H of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing by numerals:
The portion of the conveying system forming the subject of this invention is supported on a post 1 or otherwise. A pulley 2 journaled in a yoke 3 is secured to the post 1, near its upper end, by a bolt 4. Vertically spaced arms 5 are secured to the post 1 by bolts 6, and these arms project horizontally from the post and underlie the pulley 2. A vertically disposed bar 7 is secured to the outer ends of the arms 5, by bolts or otherwise, and a sheave wheel 8 rides on the inner face of this bar between the arms 5. A yoke or clevis 9 is pivotally secured on the axle of the sheave 8 and embraces the bar 7 An eye 10 is provided on the clevis 9 to form a connection for the end of a cable 11.
A flexible element, such as the chain 12, passes over the pulley 2 and has one end connected to a yoke 13 which is pivoted to i sheave 8 to run down the bar 7. This will further increase the incline of the cable and cause the bucket to travel to the trip block 7. When the trip block 7 has caused the bucket to dump in the usual and well known mannor, the weight 1 1, being heavier than the empty bucket, will draw the sheave 8 back to the top of the bar? and cause the bucket to be propelled to the starting point.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
' An automatic carrier, comprising a cable, a stationary support for one end of the cable, and a movable support for the other end of the cable, consisting of spaced arms, a bar secured to the arms, a sheave traveling on the bar, a yoke pivoted to the sheave and secured to the cable, another yoke secured to the sheave, a flexible member secured to the yoke, a pulley for guiding the flexible member and a weight on the flexible member, a bucket mounted to travel on the cable, and a trip for emptying the bucket.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto ailixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR J. NEEB.

J. LEE Dunn, FRANK RoNAN.
