ooAn-onu'rn-surroarme MEANS.
Application filed January 13, 1927. Serial No. 160,916.
My invention relates to a coal chute supporting means. I
The object of my invention is to provide a supporting means for the coal chute when it is impossible to properly position the truck to the window or door of the coal bin.
A further object of my invention is to provide an adjustable support for a coal chute such as commonly used by coal dealers 1n the delivery of their commodities.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a portable supporting; means that will fold as a convenient means for transportation.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a coal chute having an adjustable foot for the angling position of the legs and also as a means to prevent them from penetrating the earth.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a coal chute support having an adjustable anchoring means for the spread of the legs.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a coal chute supporting means having a platform at the converging ends adapb able for other purposes when the anchor rod is removed.
These and other objects will hereinafter be more fully explained.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation showing the chute in operative position.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the support showing the legs more closely engaging.
Fig. 3 is a transverse view of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the mechanism, parts removed for convenience of illustration.
As a more concise description of the mechanism herein disclosed pertaining to the component parts, the structure consists of a pair of legs 1 having rigidly connected on the upper ends thereof a late 2, the ends of which are turned transversely to the plane as at A and to which said legs are rigidly attached by a plurality of rivets 3. To the opposite side of the plate is a pair of legs 4 pivotally connected as at 5. The said legs are adapted to swing to and from the legs 1 and stationarily supported from spreading apart by means of chains 6, the said chains being connected to leg 1 as at B the links thereof attachable to hooks 7 which are rigidly connected to legs 4. The said legs 1 and 4: are braced by diagonals 8 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
Pivotally connected to the lower ends of the legs-are foot members 9, the said members adapted to rock in conformity tothe angle of a bearing on which they engage and also as a means to prevent penetration of the legs in the earth.
Axially positioned in the plate 2 is a rod 10 engaging in apertures in the laterally extending ends A. The said rod functions as carrying means for the chute 11, the said chute having cross distributed near one end thereof functioning as hooks to engage on said rod when the chute is positioned as in Fig. 1, the lower end of which is shown extending through a basement window or coal chute opening.
It is now readily seen how the chute is properly angled and firmly supported while the coal is being conveyed thereby into a bin. Should the slope of the chute be increased as the condition may require the supporting means may be reversed as the plate will accommodate for the excess slope thereby preventing the chute from contacting the edge of said plate.
As there are many conditions encountered when delivering coal such as the drive being too close to the bin which will not allow the chute being attached to the side of the bed and also not being able to get within reach of the bin and many other conditions necessitating a supporting means for the chute independent of the dray, therefore in consideration of all, the mechanism herein disclosed was invented to overcome such inconveniences.
The mechanism herein disclosed is preferably made of light Weight structural steel but may not be confined to such, as other materials may be employed.
Such other modifications may be made as lie within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a coal chute supporting means, a supporting means of the kind described hav ing a plate the ends of which are bent to a right angle and a rod attached to the right angle portions of the said plate functioning as supporting means for the upper end of the chute, a pair of legs rigidly connected to the plate and a second pair of legs pivotally bars 12 longitudinally posite side of said right angle portions, so that when the legs are rocked toward each other a coal chute may be attached to the rod, and extending from the side adjacent the rigidly connected legs, whereby the downward angle of the chute may be increased, all substantially as shown and described.
