CHARLES C. TIPPETT, OF LUGKEY, OHIO.
PIT BUCKET.
Application filed November 25, 1925. Serial No. 71,498.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES C. Trrrn'r'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Luckey, in the county of lVood and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Pit Bucket, of which the following is a specilication.
f T his invention relates to pit buckets and aims to provide a pit bucket of a novel construction wherein the pit bucket will be guided to the rails of the track on which the same is to move.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for holding the wheels of the pit bucket in proper spaced relation with the sides of the bucket.
Another important object of the invention is to provide means whereby an adjustment may be made between the bail of the bucket and block used in moving the bucket.
l/Vith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a bucket constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a fragmental elevational view lllustrating one of the supporting wheels and a portion of the bail.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line body portion of the bucket is indicated generally by the reference character 5 and as shown is provided with an inclined bottom 6 and a hinged closure 7 for closing the front wall of the bucket, there being providedan automatic latch mechanism 8 for normally holding the closure in its closed position.
' The bail of the bucket is indicated at 9 and is provided with openings disposed ad:
jacent to its ends to permit the ends of the bail to be positioned over the shafts 10 carried by the side walls of the bucket.
Mounted on the shafts 10 are spacing collars 11, which spacing collars provide means for preventing the ends of the bail 9 from moving inwardly towards the bucket to the end that the ends of the bail 9 are held in proper spaced relation with the body of the bucket to insure true operation thereof.
Guide members indicated at 12 have one of their respective ends bolted to the sides of the bucket as at 13, the opposite ends thereof being formed with openings for the reception of the shafts 10, the inner surfaces of the members 12 at points adjacent to their upper extremities being held into engagement with the outer edges of the spacing collars 11.
Wheels indicated at 1 1 are also mounted on the shafts 10 and are provided with flanges 15 so that the wheels will be held on the rails on which the bucket is designed to move, cotter pins 16 being provided for holding the wheels to the shafts l0.
lhe bail is provided with an o 'iening for the reception of thebolt 17 which bolt secures the disk 18 to the bail, the disk being provided with a plurality of spaced openings 19 as clearly shown by Figure 5 of the drawings. Operating within the openings 19 is a bolt 20 adapted to also pass through an opening in the bail 9 so that the member 18 together with the substantially U-shapcd member 21 that is movable therewith, may be adjusted to various angles with respect to the bail 9, to better adapt it for its use.
Mounted in suitable openings in the member 21 is a bolt 22 that affords means to secure the link 23 to the hail, the link 23 being one of the links of the chain used in pulling the bucket.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that due to this construction, should the bucket pass from the rails, that the same will be readily guided to its proper operating position by contact of the members 12, which are inclined, with the rails.
It is also pointed out that the member 18 permits the U-shaped member 21 to be adjusted in a horizontal plane to better adapt it for a particular use.
I claim 1. In a pit bucket, a body portion, a bail forming a part of the bucket,- a U-shaped connecting member mounted on the bail,
and means for adjusting the U-shaped connecting member in a horizontal plane.
2. In a pit bucket, a body portion, shafts extending from the body portion, a bail having openings to permit the same to be positioned over the shafts, and an adjustable securing member carried by the bail for connecting a chain thereto.
3. In a pit bucket, a body portion, shafts 10 extending from the body portion, a bail pivotally connected with the body portion, a disk having a plurality of spaced openings mounted on the bail, a U-shaped connecting member carried by the disk, and a bolt extending through an opening of the disk and through the bail to adjustably support the U-shaped connecting member on the bail.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.
CHARLES C. TIPPETT.
