M. ELSON WAGON END GATE SEAT Filed April 1. 1926 Patented Mar. 13, 1928.
UNITED STATES MILO ELSON, OF TODDVILLE, IOWA.
WAGON-END-GATE SEAT.
Application filed April 1, 1926. Serial No. 99,043.
This invention relates to wagon-box endgates, and the object of the invention is to provide the side-boards of a wagon-box with strong and durable metal seats for the ends of the endgate, such seats being adapted to hold the end-gates securely in position, strengthen the side-boards, and held them rigidly erect when the end-gate is removed.
The invention will clearly appear from the description and claim following, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is an elevation in perspective, showing the device as attached to the wagon-box l5 and in operative position. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same as seen directly from the rear, the part being broken away to show the inner construction. Fig. 3 shows a section of the same as seen from above the section line 33 of Fig. 2.
The device is designed to take the place of the pair of upright wooden cleats commonly attached to wagon-box side'boards to retain the end-gate. These are very often the first part of a wagon to give out, by split-ting, breaking or rotting away. The improved metal seat is easily attached in place of old wooden cleats, and if protected by paint is practically indestructible.
A sheet of soft sheet steel of a length suited to the depth of, the wagon-box is crimped endwise to form a pair of folded longitudinal ribs 5, spaced apart at6 to admit the end of the end-gate 7 (Fig. Lateral flanges 8 are pierced for rivets 9, by which it is secured to the side-board 10. A hole 11 admits the tie-rod 12 by which the side-boards are clamped securely in place against the ends of the end-gate. Near the lower end, one of the ribs has acounter depression 13, and is pierced to admit the hook 14 of a hook-bolt 14, which in holding position passes through the wagon-bed l5 and cross-cleat 16, and is drawn securely in place by a nut and washer 17 A cotter- 4 pin 18 holds the hook against displacement. To give increased stability to the structure, the fastening bolt is passed through a footplate 19, which has an upturned flange 20 to engage the outer sideof the side-board near the lower edge. The plate forms a small, but stable base for the lower end of the seat and, edge of the board, and tends to hold the latter firmly in an upright position at all times.
It will be notedthat the folded ribs are braced at 5 by the diagonal disposition of the outer portions of the ribs in cross section, thus giving the ribs great strength to resist lateral pressure thereon. vPartly as a neat finish for the upper end, but mainly to exclude moisture, a part' of each rib at 5 is folded over to close the opening at the top.
It will be evident that the seat may be applied to the extra side-boards that are placed on top to increase the depth of the wagon body. In this case the fastening bolt and its special connection with the seat is dispensed with, as the upper side-board is held in position otherwise on top of the lower side-board.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A wagon-box end-gate seat formed of sheet metal folded endwise, with outer, lat eral flanges, the folds forming encLgate-re taining ribs braced outwardly and closed at the upper ends, one of the ribs having a reentrant depression to partially admit abolt, and pierced for the hook of said bolt, and a hook-bolt secured therein.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
MILO ELSON.
