MANURE ZDU'IVH?ER.
Application filed July 29, 1922. Serial No. 578,472.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it-known that I, ALBERT HENRY PoHL, of the village of Berton, in the Province of Manitoba, Canada have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manure Dumpers, of which the following is the specification.
The invention relates to improvements in manure dumpers and an object of the invention is to provide a device whereby manure or such like can be readily loaded, drawn from place to place, and unloaded. Further, to construct the device in a simple, durable and inexpensive manner and so that the various parts can be easily and quickly assembled.
A more specific object is to construct a flexible manure dumper having the runners thereof formed from similar hinged links which permit of the loaded dumper being readily unloaded by rolling or pulling one end of the dumper upwardly and backwardly over the other end.
With the above more important objects in view the invention consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter more particularly described and later pointed out in the accompanying claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a side view of the dumper.
Fig. 2 is a plan view.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the front corners of the dumper.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the rear corners of the dumper.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of one of the links.
Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view through one of the links.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
The present dumper is provided with side runners 1 and 2 and a central runner 3, the runners being all flexible and formed from similar links 1, pivotally connected together by pivot pins 5. Here it will be observed that the front end of each link is provided with a pair of eyes 6 and 7 and the rear end with a central eye 8, the eye 8 of the link being adapted to enter between the pair of eyes 6 and 7 and fastened thereto pivotally by means of the pin 5.
In actual practice I use eleven links in the side runners and eight in the central runner. The runners support planks 9 which are permanently fastened to the links by pairs of bolts 10 and 11 passing through lengthwise extending slots 12 provided in the links.
A draw beam 13 is located at the front of the dumper, the beam being provided at the ends with a pair of rearwardly extending eye bolts 14 and 15, the eye bolts having the eyes thereof passing between the pairs of eyes of the front links of the side runners and connected thereto by cross bolts 16 and 17. A draft chain 18 is connected to the ends of the draw beam by eye bolts 19 and 20 and is provided centrally with a hitching ring 21.
To the rear links of the side runners I connect pivotally a special pair of tapered links 23 which are also fitted with lengthwise extending slots similar to those 12 and these end links carry an end board or plank 24 which is fastened to the same by bolts 25. Angularly disposed braces 26 and 27 retain the tapered end links in an inclined position. a
When this device is used such as for loading manure, it can be drawn into the stable and there loaded, the draft animals being hitched to the ring 21 as by a clevis or hook. The load is then drawn to the dump heap or elsewhere and one dumps the load by unhitching the draft animals and rehitching them in the reversed position. Then by driving the animals backwardly, one at each side of the manure dumper, the front end of the dumper is rolled backwardly to upset the load, the flexible construction of the runners permitting of this. After the load is dumped one can right the dumper by throwing it over sideways. As the dumper is low to the ground it is very easily loaded and owing to its flexible construction it can be easily unloaded.
What I claim as my invention is:
A manure dumper comprising a plurality of similar equi-width transverse planks and a plurality of longitudinally extending side and central continuous tracking runners, underlying and secured to the planks, each of said runners comprising a link underlying and secured to each plank and having the ends thereof extending beyond the edges of the plank and pivotally secured to the ends of the links of the adjacent planks.
Signed at Gladstone this 23rd day of May 1922.
