UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIGEC PRESTON O. DOOKSTADER, OF LYNDON, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FOR RAISING AND LOWERING CATTLE-RACKS 0N PLATFORM-SCALES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,217, dated July 6, 1875; application filed May 15, 1875.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PRESTON G. Deen- STADER, of Lyndon, in the county of Whitesides and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Device for Raising and Lowering Cattle-Racks on PlatformSc-ales, of which the following is a specification The invention will'first be described in connection with drawing, and then pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a side view of the device attached to one corner of the cattle-rack. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view looking upward from the line a :10 of Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the cattle-rack. B is a plate, which is securely fastened to each corner of the rack. On this plate is a pin, (1, cast with the plate, or rigidly attached thereto, which extends below the lower edge of the plate. I) is a slide, which is dovetailed (by means of cleats or ribs E E) to the plate. At the lower end of this slide is an axle, F, on which is wheel G. H is a rib on the slide. I is a but ton attached to the plate by which the slide is locked when at its lowest position. J is a cap on the upper end of the slide, which acts as a stop to prevent the slide and wheel from descending too far.
When the rack is lowered on the scales the pins 0 enter holes in the scales, the buttons being removed from the ribs of the slides. When the rack rests in this position on the scales, the wheels hang above the scales. When the rack is raised to the position seen in thedrawing, the locking-buttons are made to engage with the ends of the ribs, and the weight of the rack rests on the wheels, and the rack may be rolled off, as may be desired.
Ido not confine myself to this particular
