1TH STATES OTTO H. SGHUH, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
RADIATOR-TRANSPORTING TRUCK.
Application filed October 20, 1924. Serial N0. 744,704.
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, O'r'ro I-l. Sonurr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements .in a Radiator- Transporting Truck, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved transporting truck which has been especially designed for moving heating radiators of the steam and hot water type to facilitate handling thereof.
The novelty of the present device resides in one instance in the construction of an improved truck which has been especially designed to render it sturdy and exceedingly easy to move from place to place with its lead.
A structural feature to be noted in the improved device is the means utilized for lifting a radiator off of the ground and supporting it in spaced relation above the same to permit it to be readily transported from place to place.
Briefly described, the improved device comprises a light weight, yet sturdy, well supported transporting truck equipped with a pair of hoisting and supporting devices to he engaged with the bottom of the radiator to permit it to be lifted up off the ground. Appropriate means is provided for maintaining the devices in a set position, an additional means is provided for maintaining the radiator upright on the hoisting means.
The structural features and advantages derived therefrom will become apparent from the following description and drawing.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a truck constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof, and
Figure 3 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of one of the lifting devices.
Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the improved truck preferably comprises a pair of inverted U-shaped endframes 1 which are connected together by pairs of upper and lower angle irons 2. Appropriate rubber tired ball bearing casters 3 a 'e carried by the lower portions of the legs of said end frame. One pair of the casters is preferably of the stationary type, while the remaining pair comprises swivelcd casters. Slidably mounted upon the upper angle irons are fulcrum blocks st of the construction more plainly seen in Figure 9.. Pivotally mounted adjacent one end to the fulcrum blocks are lifting levers 5. At their free ends the levers are provided with handles 6 of appropriate shape. Pivotally connected to the opposite ends of the levers and depending therefrom are lifting rods 7. As shown better in Figure 3, the lower end of each rod extends slidably through a guide sleeve 8 carried by a block 9 slid-ably mounted on the lower angle iron. Swiveled upon the lower end of this rod and n'iaintained in place by the head with which it is equipped, is a laterally extended bracket arm 10 having its free end curved longitudinally as indicated at 11 to conform to the bottom of the radiator with which it is adapted to be engaged. For cooperation with each handle 6, I have provided a collar 12 which is held in place on one of the legs of each end frame by the set screw or the like. This collar is equipped with a hook shaped keeper 13.
As before intimated, appropriate means is provided for maintaining the radiator up right while it is being transported. While this means could be of some other construction, it preferably comprises a cylindrical bar or its equivalent 14 mounted between the upper and lower angle irons on one side of the truck. A collar 15 is adjustably mounted upon this bar 14 and is held in adjusted position by a setscrew 16 with which it is equipped and the collar carries a laterally extending arm 17 provided at its free end with a hook 18 to fit over the top portion of the radiator.
In use, the handles 6 are disengaged from the keeper hooks 13 and the bracket arms 10 are lowered by swinging the levers 5 upwardly. The bracket arms 10 are then placed beneath the opposite ends of the bottom of the radiator as shown in Figure 2. The levers are then swung downwardly upon their pivots and the handles are reengaged with the keeper hooks, thus suspending the radiator in the hoisted state shown. The arm 17 is adjusted to permit the hook 18 to be engaged with the top of the radiator to maintain it in an upright position. NOW, the radiator can be noved if'roni place to place on the easy rolling truck.
Having thus described the invention, What I claim is 1. In a radiator supporting truck of the class described, a Wheel supported truck, a fulcrum block adjustably inounted thereon, a lever pivotally mounted between its on said block, a handle on one end of said lever, a keeper with which said handle is adapted to be engaged, a. hoisting rod pivotally connected ,to the opposite end of the l ve and depe ding ther f m, a s c n bloc adinetebly mount d upon s d uck, ta d se ed nam d block bein eq pp d h a snide through which sai rod s s i able, and a l terally ir cted r at eng ging arms ivs y moun ed up n t e ever n of aid 11 1- A Ma i er FFNl PQE Qg ruck avi g SUPPQF QQ; asters," f lm'lm blo k sl bly m unted ripen said rack, a leve P di d Moreen t nds on said 1 19 said v r ha ng a h ndle n o e e d, a relave y s at enery ke per w th wh h s id andl adap d tn ngaged, a ho st n nd niv ellv c nne tad t th opposite d Qt the le e den ndins theref om, a econ blo k mounted ripen s id tr ck and Prsvides l w th a guide through vhie aid od sadapt cl t9 s ide, a laterally isp ed ad ate? en ging brack t arm is swiv lly mounted nen lower e d of said od, and a a e ally extend ng adiustehly m unted arm else arr ed by he truckv and pro.-
