Application filed February 9, 1922.
I! '0 rd! whom it may concern Be it known that l, CARL it. Drrrnion, a citizen of the United States, residing at ltingwood, in the county of Major and titate of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Road Drag Attachments, oil which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a drag attachment, especially designed for carrying the road drag over the ditches in a road, thereby permitting the drag to fill the ditches or low places in the road.
Another object of the invention is the production of a simple and efficient means for supporting the drag above the road, or surface thereof, to permit the drag to be easily carried over the ditches termed. in the road, the drag scraping the dirt from the high places in the road into the low places or ditches or the road.
With these and other objects in view, this invention consists oi. certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements oil parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
lln the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the drag, the lifting attachment being carried there by.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of one side or end of the drag.
Figure 8 is a side elevation of one end of the lifting bar showing a caster wheel carried thereby, a modified form of the device being shown in this figure.
By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that 1 designates the road drag of the standard construction, upon which a quadrant 2 is mounted. An operating lever 3 is pivotally mounted as at d, and this lever 3 carries a laterally extending pin 5, which pin 5 fits between the upstanding fingers (3 of the lifting rod or bar 7, as shown in Figure 1.
Standards 8 and 8 are mounted upon the top of the drag 1, near one side edge thereof, the standard 8 being shorter than the standard 8, for supporting the rod or d. This structure shown in Figure 3 Serial Ito. L d/5,5346%,
bar 7 in a downwardly inclined position to ward the forward end thereoif It. runner 9 is carried by each end of the rod '7, each runner 9 having a forwardly extending end 10 which is secured to the rod or bar 7, as shown in Figure 1. Each runner 9 is rearwardly inclined and is provided with a rearwardly extending shoe 11. The rear end of each shoe is upturned as indicated at 12.
in Figure 3 there is shown a modified form of the invention, the rod 7 being sup ported upon the caster 18, one caster being adapted to be carried at each end oi the rod is adapted for use when supporting heavy drags, the runners 9 and shoes 11 beingused for supporting light drugs. The caster 13 is journalled upon the rod or bar 7 by means oithe bolt i l.
From the foregoing description, it will be seen that the road drag 1 may be raised or lowered by swinging the lever 3 and shif ing the rod lon idinally through the standards and 8 illhe lever 3 may be locked in a set position by. engaging the quadrant 2. The scraper blades 15 will scrape over the suriface of the road and the runners 9 will support the blades 15 above a ditch. or low places in the road, the dirt accumulated by the blades being thrown into the ditches or low places in the road as the drag is moved over the road.
Although one iiorm of the invention is shown, it should he understood that certain detail changes in mechanical structure may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, so long as these cl'ianges fall within the scope of the following specification and claim What is claimed is:
1. ln combination with a road drag, an adjusting rod, means for supporting the rod in an inclined position, supporting means carried by the respective ends of the rod, and means for adjusting the rod longitudinally oil the erag for throwing the supporting means into and out 01"" an operative position.
2. In combination with a road drag, an adjusting rod supported for longitudinal movement upon the drag, said rod being inclined downwardly toward the forward end of the drag, runners carried by the rod at the ends thereof, a shoe carried by each runner and means engaging the rod for moving the rod longitudinally for throwing the runners into and out of an o mrative position.
In testimony whereo'l l :iiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
