FREDERICK 'II'. AWEAVER,y 0F. NEW YORK, N. Y.
snow CARRIER.
Application filed December 5, 19,23. ,SerialNe 578,717.
To all wwmc't may concern.'
Be it known that I, FREDERICK H. VEAVER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of Kings and State 'of 'New York, have invented'certain new and vuseful Improvements in Snow` Car-V riers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relatesI to improvements in snow carriers, and has for its object to' provide'a carrier which can be easily loaded and quickly unloaded. My invention is especially adapted for use in large cities where the snow is usually swept to the sides of the streets and then piled in large banks, from where it is loaded in a suitable carrier, such as my present invention, and then carried to a sewer opening, or other desired place, and dumped.
The invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of the parts and combination of parts hereinafter more fully set forth in the following specification and pointed out in detail in lthe appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings,- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of Figure 1. Figure 3 is* an enlarged vertical section of Figure 1 taken on the line 3 3 thereof. Figure 4 is an enlarged vertical section of Figure 1 taken on the line 4 4 thereof. Referring to ythe accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the several views thereof, 1 designates the axle at the rear of the body and having the wheels 2 mounted on the ends thereof. The body of the carrier is mounted on two channel irons 3 which extend the full length of said body and have their rear ends secured to the axle 1. The front end of the body of the carrier is supported by the two ,channel irons 4 which have their rear ends projecting under the body and secured to the channel iron 5 and their front ends projecting upwardly and connected to the engine, or tractor 6. The bottom 7 of the body rests on and is secured tothe upper flanges of the channel irons 3, and the sides 8 are connected at their upper ends to the channel irons 9 and are each provided with an angle iron 10 extending along their lower edges; each of said sides 8 is connected to the channel irons 11 and 12 at thefront and rear respectively, on said body. The sldes 8 do Anot extend'downto ly-projecting 2threaded lugsf16 which roper'-v ate upon thethreaded rods 17. The upper end of the unloading plate 15 is secured to the channel iron 18 which has its ends pro jecting over and resting upon the upper surface of the channel irons 9 and provided on each end with a downwardly and in- Awardly projecting threaded lug 19 which operates on the threaded rods 20. The threaded rods 20 are each provided with a sprocket wheel 21 and the rods 17 are each provided with a sprocket wheel 22 on the front ends thereof, all of said sprocket wheels 21 and 22 are connected by a chain 23. On one of said rods 2O is a large sprocket wheel 24 connected by a chain 25 to the sprocket wheel 26 on the main shaft 27. The said shaft 27 has one end mounted in the bearing 28 on the front of the body, and its opposite end provided with a bevel gear wheel 29 in mesh with the bevel gear' wheel 30 on the shaft 31, which latter is connected by the gear wheels 32 and 33 to the gear wheel 34 on the shaft 35 of the engine or tractor 6.
When the carrier is being loaded the unloading plate 15 1s to the extreme front end of the body, as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings, and when it is desired to unload the carrier the engine is started and the shaft 27 thrown into operation which revolves the sprocket wheel 26, which in turn causes the sprocket wheel 24 to be revolved through the medium of the chain 25. The revolving of the large sprocket wheel 24 causes all of the threaded rods 17 and 20 The "said 'channel iron f14 issecuredv to revolve and the lugs 16 and 19 being rods 17 and 20 thereby causing the plate 15 to move back to the front of the body ready for another load. The speed with which the unloading plate is moved can be regulated by the speed of the engine or the` threads on the said rods 17 and 2()` can be varied to increase or diminish the speed of the travel of said plate 15.
The engine or tractor 6 acts as the motive power for the carrier as Well as the power for operating the unloading` plate, as described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- A carrier comprising a body having an opening extending along the lower edges on opposite sides thereof, wheels upon which said body is mounted, four screw threaded rods mounted at the sides of said body, a sprocket wheel mounted on the front end of each of said threaded rods, a chain connecting all of said sprocket wheels to cause the threaded rods to revolve in unison, a large sprocket wheel secured on the end of one of said threaded rods, a main shaft having one end mounted in the front end of the body, a sprocket wheel onsaid main shaft, a chain connecting the sprocket wheel on the main shaft with the large sprocket Wheel on the end of one of said threaded rods, an unloading plate mounted in said body and having threaded lugs on its upper edge projecting over the body and co-operating with the upper threaded rods and threaded lugs on the lower edge of said unloading plate projecting through the openings at the lower edge of the body and co-operating with the threaded rods at the lower edge of the body, and means for revolving the main shaft to cause the unloading plate to move from end to end in said body.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
FREDERICK I-I. WEAVER.
