J is a hoist bucket having a pair of supporting wheels J the bottom of the bucket and an additional pair of supporting wheels J 2 adjacent the top of one sideof the bucket. J are supplemental wheels the purpose of' whichf will later be indicated. J is a pivoted bail to which may be secured the hoist 'cableJ J G is an idler adjacent the opening of the tunnel E. J J are sheaves at the top of the hopper D J 8 is an idler and J is a hoist drum adapted to be actuated by any suitable mechanism within the tower house J Mounted at the end of the bail J are rollers J the use of which will 7 later be described.
It will be realized that whereas I have described and shown a practical and operative. device, nevertheless many changes might be made insize, shape, number and disposition of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention. I therefore wish my drawings to be taken as in a broad sense illustrative or diagrammatic rather than as limiting me to my specific showing. The use and operation of my invention are as follows In locomotive upkeep, it is of course necessary constantly to supply the locomotives used with fresh increments of fuel and constantly to remove from the locomotives the solid waste products of combustion in the form of ashes or cinders. It is important torender it possible to coal and decinder locomotives as rapidly as possible with a minimum track space and a maximum flexibility; It is also important, in order to keep down the cost of installation, that a minimum of excavation be necessary. I have developed a peculiarly compact and eflicient and easily and cheaply constructed installation wherein locomotives may be easily and quickly coaled and decindered, I illustrate my plant as including a coal receiving track, a decindering track, a cinder car track and a locomotive coaling track, although I do not wish to be limited rigidly to any such arrangement. The coal discharge and cinder discharge tracks are herein shown as arranged in onepair and the cinder receiving and coal receiving tracks in another. Beneath the former two are hoppers and beneath the hoppers extends a tunnel into which can run a hoist bucket. I provide any suitable means for controlling the flow of material from the hoppers and preferably the hoppers are of such size as to be able to accumulate a quantity of material, so that i if necessary but one hoist need be used, the accumulated coal or cinders being held in the hopper until the bucket is spotted therebeneath and being released by the release of the gates employed. When filled the bucket is hoisted, by rotation of the drumJ which reels in the cable J When the bucket is in the tunnel it' is supported by the wheels J J the former engaging the track E and the latter the supplemental track E. It will be understood that the wheels J 2 have a wider face than the wheels J and J 3 so that the wheels J and J 3 may pass through the gap E in the track E and the wheels J with their wider face will span the gap E closed position and the buckettravels to the s top of the track E above the hopper D The rollers J of the bucket bail J engage the gate H and swings it into the open or dotted line position as shown in Figure 1'. Since the track E terminates in the laterally extending portion H the wheels J ride along the track H. However the supplemental rollers J 3 engage the track H thus preventing the wheels J from riding out on. the track H. Instead they engage the supplemental track section H and as the hoisting action continues the bucket is tilted into the position shown in dotted line and at the top of Figure 1. The gate H serves as a'bafilc 531d the coal is discharged into the hopper When the bucket contains cinders the operator actuates the crank arm G by means of the chain G to lift the track section G into the position shown in Figure 2, thus breaking the connection between the tracks E and E When the bucket is hoisted the dumping action takes place exactly as above described. The wheels J ride on the track G the supplemental wheels J ride on the supplemental track G and the wheels J are thus enabled to bridge the gap and to ride upon the track E, the result being that the bucket is tilted into the position shown in Figure 2. The'cinders are thereby disl trollir'ig mechanism the hoist,v since they form no part of thepresent invention.
