UNDERFRAMING FOR WAGON-RACKS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. i9, ieie.
Application filed April 5, 1917. Serial No. 159,977.
To allzu/"1.0m t may concern.
Be it known that I, HARRY PETER, a citizen of the United States, residing at West St. Paul, in the county of Dakota and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and u seful Improvement in Underframing for lagon-Racks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in underframing for vehicles and more especially to the frame construction of hay racks for use in connection with the ordinary box wagon-bodies, and has for an object 'to provide a frame of this type which is simple, efficient, durable and neat in appearance.
Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claims.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wagon rack embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of a frame equipped with my improved means for fastening the frame together; Fig. 3 is a transverse view partly in section, of my improved fastening means; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a portion of the fastening means, the longitudinal and transverse beams of the frame being broken away; Fig. 5 is an end view of a slightly modified form; and Fig. 6 is a similar view of another modified form.
Like numerals of reference refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawing.
In the drawing, A represents a rack having the usual wheel guards a and vertical standard b placed upon a wagon body and in which the numeral 10 indicates the transverse beams and 11 the longitudinal beams thereof which are preferably formed of wood. At the points where these beams cross each other, they may be notched out somewhat, if desired, to interlock and thus insure a degree of rigidity to the frame.
Angle irons B arranged in pairs spaced apart throughout the length of the rack are employed for securing the longitudinal and transverse beams together, live pairs of such irons being shown in the drawings, though it will of course be understood that I do not limit myself to the use of any set number of pairs as a less or greater number may be found necessary to construct the rack of sufcient strength to withstand the particular use for which it is designed.
The angle irons employed by me for the purpose specified are bent adjacent to their ends into substantially U-shape form, the horizontal portions 12 of which extend transversely across and below the rack. These angle irons are arranged in pairs, the irons of a pair being arranged a short distance apart and parallel to each other thus producing a base upon which the longitudinal beams 11 rest. The vertical portions 13 of the irons are secured, as by means of bolts, to the longitudinal beams and likewise to the transverse beams 10 each of which, as clearly shown in the drawings, extends between said vertical portions 13. At their free ends 14 the irons of each pair are bent inwardly `across and rest upon the upper face of the transverse beam, the eX- tremities of the bent portions of the irons abutting each otheriso that the longitudinal and transverse beams of which the rack is composed are all tied together to form a rigid structure of exceeding durability'and efficiency and which is also neat in appearance and light in weight.
In Fig. 5, is shown a modified form of the angle irons employed. In this view, the means employed for tying the longitudinal and transverse beams together consists of a single angle iron 15 bent intermediate its ends across the upper face of the transverse beam 10 and then downwardly, transversely across and again vertically upward to assume substantially U- shape as in the case and for the purpose previously described, the free ends of the iron being bent inwardly across and resting upon the upper faces of the transverse beam where they are welded together.
In Fig. 6, two angle irons are used, and
are formed of substantial U-shape as in the other figures except that in place of bending the free ends of the irons across the face of the transverse beam, they are cut off flush, or approximately so, with the face of such beam.
In accordance with the patent statutes, I have described the principles of operation of my invention, together with the apparatns which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the construction shown is only illustrative, and that the invention can be carried out by other means and applied to uses other than those above set forth within the scope of the following claims. 5 Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. A vehicle rack comprising a pair of longitudinal beams, ported by said longitudinal beams, and a plurality of pairsof angle members, each pair of said members being of substantial VU-shape having upright ends, the ends of each pair being secured to a side of each of said longitudinal beams and to the opposite sides of one of said transverse beams.
2. A vehicle rack comprising a pair of longitudinal beams, transverse beams supported vby said longitudinal beams, a plu- V' rality of transverse members arranged in pairs and having upwardly extending ends disposed on opposite sides of therack, each of said transverse beams being clamped between and secured to the adjacent upturned ends of a pair of said members and each of transverse beams sup-Y said longitudinal beams being secured to the inner faces of said pair of membersY im- 3. A vehicle rack comprising a pair of spaced longitudinal beams, a plurality of transverse beams resting upon said longitudinal beams, a plurality of members, the base of each of which extends across the rack for supporting said longitudinal beams and the ends of which are vertically disposed and secured to a side of each of said longitudinal beams, said members being arranged in pairs, one member ofv a pair extending to one side of a transverse beam and the other member of such pair extending to the opposite side of such transverse beam to clamp said beam therebetween, and the extremities of said ends being bent to engage the upper surface of said transverse beanL ln testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
HARRY PETER.
