Description
UNITED STATES JOHN B. SCHNEIDER, OF KANKAKEE, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN WHEELBARROWS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,823, dated June 10, 1873; application filed April 10, 1873.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN B. SCHNEIDER, of Kankakee, in the county of Kankakee and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wheelbarrows and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings and to the lettors of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved barrow. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan. Fig. 3 is a cross-section at x in Fig. 1.
Like letters refer to like parts in the several figures.
This invention relates to a wheelbarrow so constructed that its contents may be dumped without overturning the barrow for that purpose, and to certain self-acting bolts which sustain the bottom in its closed position. The invention consists in the arrangement of devices for closing the doors in the bottom of the barrow and securing them in their closed position. In the drawing, AArepresent the side bars of a barrow, which support a hopper-shaped box, B, and have the axle of a wheel, 0, journaled between their front ends. doors hinged to the bars A to open downwardly, and form the bottom of the box B. D D are two bars or bolts, cach hinged at a to one of the side bars, the one just in front and the other just behind the end of the box,
which is cut away to let the said bolts swing under it, and under the ends of the doors also,
the free ends of said bolts extending to and B B are two resting upon the opposite side bar, and thus supporting the doors. The bolts are swung under the doors by leaf-springs b acting on each, while a strong coiled spring, 0, secured to the inner face of each side bar, throws up the doors when the load is dumped. E is a.
under the ends of the doors and secure them. y.
Inasmuch as this barrow has not to be racked and strained in dumpin g it, by overturning it with its load, it can be made much lighter than the ordinary barrow, and yet be as durable, while it is also much easier and more convenient to manage.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In combination with the side bars A and hopper B, the doors B B hinged to the side bars, bolts D D, rod E, lever E, link (1, and springs b b 0 c, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
