HERMAN M. DICK, OF SHELBY, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN MAIL-BAG CATCHES.
Specilcation forming part of Letters Patent No. 164g677, dated June 242, 1875; application. filed July 7, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERMAN M. DICK, of Shelby, county ofRiehland, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mail-Bag Disoliargers; and declare the following to be suoli a full, clear, and eX- act description thereof as will enable others skilled in the artto which 'my invention relates to make and use it, reference being had to the. aocompanyin g drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention has for its object suoli a mechanism that when the mail-bag s hallhave been discharged the arms or supports by which it was held will instantly drop back, so as to be out ofthe way, and not liable to injure persons in the cars or in the baggage-oar.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side View of the improved mail-bag diseharger. Fig. 2 is a rear view of saine, showing my improvements.
A is the lower arm or support, hinged at a, so as to drop down against the post. B is the upper arni or support, hinged at b. It is in the form of an elbow. C is a toggle-arm, connected to the elbow or-upper arm at 0,- and to the lower arm A at c. I) D are guides, Wliioh act at the same time as stops.
The operation of the device is very simple, and is as follows: When the upper arm B is brought into its position to hold the mail-bag it will, in coming forward to position, carry forward at the same time the toggle arm C. This will lift up the lower arm A. In this po.-
sition it will remain until the mail-bag is caught by the receiver upon the train. As soon as the Weight of the niail-bagis removed from the upper arm B, the weightof the lower f arm A will cause it to dropfand it will carry with it the toggle arm O, which, in turn, by pressing' against the upper arm B, will cause it to drop back in the guides until it is nally stopped, at which time the lower arm A will lie tlat down against the post.
It will thus be seen that lthe instant the inailbag is removed the arms A and B are thrown back, so as to be out ofthe way, and they arey no longer liable to injure persons upon the car.
I prefer to place pieces of rubber in the loealities shown in the drawings, whereby cushions are formed; but, instead of employing rubber, any other suitable material may be en1- ployed, or the cushions may be omitted altogether.
The arms A B may be made of any suitable material; but the lower arm A should be of suiieient weight to throw back the upper arm B through the medium of the toggle-arm O.
The mail-bag disoharger, composed of the hinged arms A B and the toggle arm O, the whole constructed to operate in the manner substantiallyy as described.
HERMAN- M. DICK.
In. presence 'of- JOHN KAEL, HIRAM W. HILDEBEANT.
