ABRAHAM T. GOLDFIELD, 0]? SPRING VALLEY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO SPRING VALLEY METAL STAMPING CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORA- TION OF NEW YORK.
PLATFORM FOR TRUCKS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 7, 1922.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ABRAHAM T. GOLD- FIELD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Spring Valley, in the county of Rockland and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Platform for Trucks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The present invention relates to platforms or stands, and it pertains more particularly to platforms or stands adapted for use in connection with elevating transporting trucks. Devices'of this character as com"- monly employed are constructed wholly of wood, the platform being spaced from the floor or other support by means of side skids which when subjected to the abuse in ordinary use, split or break, thus rendering the platform inoperative for the purpose intended.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a platform which will have greater rigidity than platforms as at present constructed.
Another object of the invention is to so construct a platform of this character that certain of its parts may be removed if required.
A further object of the invention is to construct a platform of this character which will be entirely sanitary.
A still further object of the invention is to so construct a platform of this character that in the larger sizes the trucks will be automaticall centered beneath the platform, thus preventing rocking of the platform relative to the truck.
Reference is had to the drawings in which Figure 1. is a perspective view of a platform constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View thereof taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an end elevation partly broken away, of a modified form of stand.
In constructing a stand in accordance with the present invention, two metal channel irons 5 are employed and the side walls of said channel irons are provided near their ends at properly spaced intervals, with openings 6, for the reception of bolts or screws 7 the purpose of which will be hereinafter described.
The surface of the platform is formed of accompanying a plurality of trasversely extending boards 8, and as more clearly shown in F ig; 1, each of the end boards and the board which is third from each end, are secured in the channel members 5, by means of the bolts 7, the remaining boards being loosely retained in said channel irons but prevented from accidental displacement with respect thereto by means of the boards which are fastened therein.
In order to provide for a flush or fiat even surface on the upper face of the platform, each of the boards is rabbeted as in dicated by the reference character 9, the depth of said rabbet being substantially equal to the thickness of the material from which the channel members 5 are made.
The openings 6 heretofore mentioned are countersunk as more clearly shown in Fig. 2 in order that the heads of the screws or bolts 7 may lie flush with the upper face of the channel members 5 to present a smooth surface on the upper face of the platform.
The device is supported preferably by four legs, which consist of substantially V- 'shaped members 10, each of said members having a foot 11 and leg members 12. The leg members 12 are each provided with an or bolts 7 pass to secure the leg members 10 in position upon the under face of the platform in order to support the platform in spaced relation to the floor.
y this construction it will be seen that a platform of knockdown nature is provided, and that by removing the screws or bolts 7 the entire device may be taken apart in order that it may occupy comparatively small space in shipping, and, at the same time, increase the facility with which repairs thereto may be made.
In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 3, braces 15 are employed between the platform and the foot 11 of each of the legs 10, and said braces are secured at the foot ll by means of a rivet 16. From this point the braces extend inwardly and upwardly to a point 17 where they engage beneath certain of the boards 8 forming the platform. From the point 17, the braces extend outwardly as indicated by the reference character 18, and are secured to a channel bar by means of rivets 19.
B this construction it will be apparent that inclined faces are presented in such a angular portion 13, through which the screws manner that as the trucks are positioned beneath the platforms. ifa truck be placed near one side or the other of the platform, as the truck is elevated it will engage the inclined face and will cause the platform and truck to move relatively one to the other in such a manner as to position the truck substantially centrall of the platform to prevent tilting thereof when on the truck.
I claim:
A platform for elevating trucks comprising parallel side members, platform boards secured in the side members. supporting feet comprising substantially V-shaped members and secured to the side members at their ends, and braces for saidfeet, said braces comprising an upwardly inclined body portion secured at its lower end to the feet and and having its upper end contacting with certain of the platform boards to form a partial support therefor, said braces extending inwardly and upwardly of the platform to serve as means for centering a truck relative to the platform when the truck is inserted beneath the platform from the ends thereof.
