JAMES W. STj'UBBS, 0F STEUBENVIL 00.
BAR-FILING APP Application filed Hovemberfl, 1928. Eerie] No. 672,664.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES W. STUBBS, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Steubenville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bar-Piling Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a bar repiler, and more particularly 'to a repiler for resetting overturned piles of sheet bar and the like, and has for its object the provision of a single device which may be passed around the overturned pile of bars, connected to a crane or other lifting mechanism, and will automatically right the pile of bars as the device is lifted by the lifting mechanism.
Wherever sheet bars are handled in loose drafts it is almost impossible to avoid up setting some of them occasionally, either on the cooling beds or in transferring them from one location to another. Heretofore in repiling or resetting the upset bars, the usual method has been to pass a chain around each end of the pile and connect the chains to a crane, which in turn would raise the pile and bump it against a car, the building columns, or any handy object, until the pile was straightened out. tice consumes from ten to thirty minutes in time, requires several men, is dangerous, and does considerable damage to property.
The present apparatus provi es means for automatically re iling or resetting an upset pile of bars in rom two to three minutes, with a minimum of labor, and without the necessity of bumping the bars against other objects, thus eliminating the major portion of the labor, the danger, and damage ofthe old practice.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation of an upset pile of bars with the repiling device of this invention in position to liftand reset the pile, as clearly shown in dotted lines in the same figure.
Figure 2 is a side and Figure 3 is an and elevation of a lifting yoke constructed in accordance with this invention.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the letter A designates the integral bar lifting yoke as a whole, which is substantially U-shaped and composed of a bottom portion 2, and arms or legs 3 and 4, respectively. The leg 3 has its up er or free end terminating in an eye 5, w ile the leg 4 This prac-.
has its upper or free end terminating in a hook 6.
A lifting chain 7 has one end secured in the eiye 5 on the leg 3 and its other end secure to ring 8. A second chain 9 has one end secured to the ring 8 and its other end terminatin in an enlarged attaching link 10 adapts to be detachably secured to the hook 6.
The ring 8 is adapted to be engaged with a crane hook 11 suspended from the hoisting chain 12 or other lifting mechanism.
In the drawings, the letter B designates the bars operated upon by the bar yoke, fs'llillch bars are supported on rails 14 or the During the operation of the device the bar yoke A-is kept well greased to facilitate the movement of the bars within the yoke.
To repile the upset or fallen bars B, one or more of the yokes A are placed around the pile b leg or arm. 4 under the ile, while the eg 3 passes over the pile. 'lFhe chain 9 then is secured to the book 6 on the leg 4. and the whole device lifted by the crane, and due to the novel shape and the greased surface the bars will fall or slide into pro er osition. After the bars have been rig te it is only necessary for the crane to again lower them onto the sup orting rails '14, when the device may be isengaged from the crane hook 11 and the chain 9 disengaged from the hook 6, thus permit-.
ting the yoke A to fall down between the supporting rails and be removed.
It will be understood that while I have shown and described the leg 3 as terminating in an eye 5, it may terminate in a hook, if desired, the'same as the leg 4. Also it will be understood that two or more of the yokes A may be used to right one pile if desired or necessary, and that many other modifications may be made withoutdeparting from the scope of my invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim 1. A bar repiling device com rising the combination with a lifting meclianism, of at least one U-shaped bar oke ada ted to have one of its legs passe under t e bars to be piled, and lifting chains attached to the free ends of each of the legs of said bar yoke and to said lifting mechanism.
2. A bar repilin device comprising the combination with a ifting mechanism, of at not least one integrally formed U-shaped bar yoke adapted to have one of its legs passed under the bars to be piled, and lifting chains attached tothe free ends of each of the le s of said bar yoke and to said lifting mec anism.
3. A bar repiling device comprising the combination with a lifting mechanism, of at least one integrally formed U-shaped bar yoke adapted to have one of its legs passed under the bars to be piled, a lifting chain secured to an eye formed on the free end of one of the legs of said bar yoke, a second lifting chain having one end secured to the free end of said first mentioned chain and its other end ada ted to be detachably engaged with a hoo formed on the free end of the other leg of said bar yoke, and said chains being connected to said lifting mechanism at their junction point, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
JAMES W. STUBBS.
