EX'IRIGTING MEANS FOR VEHICLES Patented Mar. 2, 1926.

Exrnroerrne MEANS .ron VEHICLES.
Application Aletl September 17,1923;n Serial No.- 663,310.
To aZZ 207mm t may concern.'
Be it known that I, CHARLES L. Hoonr, a citizen oli the United States, and a resident of Dover, county of Morris, and State ot New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Iuuuovements in Extricating Means lor `\'7ehioles, oit Whiclrthe following is a speeilication.
This invention relates to an improved means and method for extricating a motor out ot' a ditch or other depression and is adapted for use with a service car or can be carried in a passenger car, the invention. being directed to the provision of a rope which is secured in advance el' the car and is wrapped around a part o1 the rear wheel and this wheel is then raised from contact with the ground and supported in this raised position on a rolling carriage.
The invention is illustrated in the aceompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top view of a ditched car willi the propelling and supporting devices in position. Figure 2 is a partial section showing the car partly raised on one side. Figure 8 is a similar view showing the car supported on the raised side by a carriage. Figure l is a section of the carriage on a platform. Figure 5 is a tace View of a drum attachable to a rearwheel and Figure 6 is a partial section of a wheel with the drum in place. Figure 7 is a partial section ot a modified 'form of drum.
In said dra-Wings, the automobile is illustrated as ditched at the side of a road and in Figure 1` the dotted outline 10, .represent-s the body ot the car and the front and rear wheels and associated parts are shown in full lines. The car is hauled forward by a rope 12 which is provided with a' pair ot pulleys 13 and 111-, the rope having one end detachably secured to the pulley 111 as by kotting it as at 15. The other end ot the rope is wrapped around a part. ot one ot the rear wheels as at 16 and to provide such part, I usually fasten a drum 17 to the outer tace of the Wheel. The 4drum 17 can be detachable as in Figures 5 and 6, having the flange 18 With the holes 19 through which the bolts 2O pass the bolts passing between the spokes o1 the Wheel and thus securing the drum in place. In other cases, as in dise wheels, the drum can be permanently attached or made part of the wheel, as in Figure 7 and when not in use covered by an ornamental cap-21 which can-bei screwed on' the shoulder 2a.
It the car is to be drawn out at a rather sharp angle, the rope is secured by the pulley 13 to a post or stall' 2" driven into the ground or any fixed support as a post or tree and the pulley 14 is caught over the liront part of the chassis, as will be seen trom Figure 1.
It the Car is to be propelled at a slight angle, the rope is untastened at 15 withdrawn once through pulley 13 and is passed over a drum 24- This drumV is a duplicate ot 17. The pulley 14. in such ease is secured to a tixed point 25.
It the 'car is to be pulled straight ahead, the reaches of the rope at 26 and 27 are at the saine angle by moving the point 25 more to the side. This will be evident from the showing in broken lines in Figure 1.
The usual necessity, is however, to arrange the rope as shown in full lines in Figure 1 using only the drum 17 for hauling and in this case the wheel 27`on this side of the car is raised from contact with the mud or ground since its traction when it rests on the ground prevents it from revolving fast enough to telic up the rope on a small drum. It is therefore necessary by my method to raise this wheel as by a jack 28 and when so raised t0 support it in raised position so that ,it can lbe moved in such raised position. I do this by placing a platform usually a board or boards 29 which are shown raised on blocks 30. The boards can be hinged as at 31 for storage in the car, A carriage 32 has wheels or rollers 33 and has means for detachably securing it to the housing 34; of the rear axle or to some other capiva-lent fixture. The form shown vcomprises hooks 35 and 3R, 35 being single and 35 having a double hook which can be swung over the housing and then moved longitudinally to clamp the. Vluuising by means such has the nuts 37.
lVith this appara-tus and method, I can run the rear Wheel 27 at a high speed to utilize the power of a small drum to ywind up the rope for hauling. This couldn'ot be done with the wheel 27 on the ground since the wheel `would be limited in its revolutions per minute by its contact Withthe ground and the drum could nottake up on the rope. y
The rolling` carriage maintains the Wheel on the other rear 'Wheel y in raised position to permit the above 'function and also acts to advance the ear under the influence of the hauling rope.
I claim: v
A means for extrieating ditched motor cars comprising a rope adapted to be secured around the driving Wheels of thee-(1r and to be secured to a point beyond the car, a portable platform, and a carriage adapted to be 10 detaehably secured to the rear axle housing' and to form a rolling means for one side of the ear on the said platform, the carriage beingl disposed so as to cause the wheel oil the car toelear the ground whereby the speed of the ear is controlled entirely by the eoilinp; of the rope.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereto set my hand, this 14th day ot' September,. 1923.
CHAS. L. I-IOOEY.
