Description
J. SELZER STAKE BODY LOCK Sept. 12, 1933.
Filed July 23. 1930 Patented Sept. 12, 1933 STAKE com LOCK John Seizer, Fort Wayne, Ind, assignor to International Harvester Company, a. corporation of New Jersey Application July'23, 1930. Serial No. 469,991
. 7 Claims.. (Cl. 296--43) My invention relates to an improved stake body lock.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved locking device for the stakes used to confine the load on the body of a motor truck or the like and to keep them from jumping accidentally out of place. i
Another object is to provide such a lock which will permit quick removal or quick placing of the stakes relative to the sockets on the truck, which receive them.
Other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art as the disclosure progresses. I
These desirable objects may be achieved by the illustrative example of the invention herein selected for purposes of disclosure.
In the drawing: Figure l is a side elevational view of a stake locked in its body socket;
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view as seen along the line 22 of Figure lwhen looking in the direction of the arrows; v
Figure 3 is a bottom view of the lock mean shown in Figure 2; t
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view through the lock means, as seen along the section line 4-4 when looking in the direction of the arrows appearing in Figure 2;
Figure 5 is a top plan view of the Figure 6 is a side view of. this latch member; and,
Figure '7 is a cross sectional view through this latch-member, as seen along the line 7-7, looking in the direction of the arrows appearing in Figure 6. j
A truck body main or side member is indicated at 10, said member carrying a side plate 11 spaced laterally from the member to. provide a space 40 to serve as a socket for receiving a vertically disposed stake 12. These stakes may be arranged in groups of any desired number of stakes per group, which will be spaced apart a desired dislatch member tance and connected together by a plate 13,
which will be secured by bolts 14 to the stakes to connect the same in group formation. Thus, it is possible to remove or place a group of stakes in the form of a gate.
The problem is to provide an'improved latch- -1 the outer face. of said stake carrying a closure .25 to the closure plate 16.
PATENT orrics Shaped, as shown in Figure 3, to embrace three I sides of thestake, and, fitted into this channel-shaped cover plate 16 from its backside, is a strap 18 having a bulged part 19 to form a bearing for carrying a vertically disposed latch boit or member 20, which may be of'rod formation. Thus thelatch bolt isjournaled for rotation, but is held against independent sliding end, carries an integrally formed, angular extension 22 iorming a handle. It will be noted that the eccentric and handle extension extend in substantially opposite directions. Midway beie H tween its ends the latch bolt20 is iormed with;
' two flat sides 23, as appears best in Figures 6 and "7, and, cooperating with these fiat sides, is
a leaf spring 24 having'its'iree end riveted: at
Thisflat spring enl gages the flat sides 23 of the bolt to prevent accidental rotation thereof and also up and down movement, because the bearing portion 19 is out out at 23 to present upper and lowershoulders 26 to confine the spring 24where it acts onthe flat sides 23 of the latch bolt 20. Further, this action of the spring 24 in preventing up and down movement of the'boltZO insures that the eccentric 21 will be in position to register with the opening 19 in the face of the cover plate;
In use, the stake 12 can. be placed intoitssocket by rotating the handle 22 to fit inwardly. beneath the lower end of the stake, as shown in the dotted line position in Figure 2. The stake 12 will then drop into its socket until the oppositely extending eccentric 21 strikes the'top of the plate 11. In thispcsition of theparts the handle22 is disposed beneath the lower edge of t the plate 11 and clear thereof, sothat the operator may turn the handle 22 .outwardly to the fullline position shown in Figure 2. The stake is now free to drop, becausethe eccentric 21 is inside the pocket 15, until the plate'l3 abuts the member. 10 to stop this falling movement. In the final position of the parts, the operator then rotates the bolt 20 by turning the handle 22 back againto its inward position shown in Fig ure 2 in the dotted lines beneath the stake,
upwardly and jump out accidentally from its socket because the eccentric 21 will abut the lower edge of the plate 11, as indicated in the dotted line showing in Figure 2. The flat spring 24 engaging the flat sides 23 on the bolt 20 structure achieves all of the desirable objects.
heretofore recited for the invention.
