IMPROVEMENT IN WAGON END-GATES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 215,394, dated May 13, 1879 application filed October 19, 1878.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, BENJAMIN S. PORTER and JOHN F. VETTE, of Ottawa, in the county of La Salle and State of Illinois, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Wagon End-Gates and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a top view of our improved end-gate. Fig. 2 is a rear-end view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section of the same.
This invention has relation to improvements in end-gates for the bodies of vehicles especially designed for the transportation of grain and other like substances.
The nature of the invention consists in the combination, with a vehicle-body having a fixed'upper and a removable lower endgate section, of inside and outside cleats, one of the latter having a hinged lower section arranged to swing up, to allow the lower end-gate sec tion to be detached, and provided with a sliding bolt adapted to engage a socket in the body frame, as hereinafter shown and described.
In the annexed drawings, the letter A designates an ordinary wagon-body, having at its rear end the inside cleats, a, and the outside cleats, b 0, between which it hasbeen usual to slide the end-gate B. This latter is composed of an upper section, (I, fixed in any suitable manner to the wagon-body between the cleats a and b 0, and of a removable lower section, d. This section 01 is attached to the wagonbody by passing one of its ends between the cleats or guides a and b at one side of the said body, and bringing its other end against the inner cleat, a, at the other side thereof.
The cleat c is made in two sections, ee, the
upper section corresponding to the section d r of the gate, and the lower section to the section (1 thereof. The upper cleat-section, e, is rigidly secured to the side of the body, and the lower section, 0, is hinged thereto, so as to be, capable of being swung down into the position shown in Fig. 2 in full lines, (when it abuts against the removable section of the end-gate,) or up into the position shown in dotted lines, when the said section may be readily removed, forming a gap at the end of the wagon-body, through which the contents thereof will readily flow.
The section 0 is provided with a slide-bolt, f, which, when engaged in the staple g at the end of the wagon-body, holds the said section in place, and locks the removable part of the end-gate to said body.
The sides of the body are prevented from spreading by means of the metallic bracerods r.
What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination, witha vehicle-body having the fixed upper end-gate sectiomd, and a removable end-gate section, (1, of the inside guide-cleats, a, and the outside cleats, b and c, the latter composed of afixed upper section,
e,and a hinged lower section, 0, arranged. to swing upward, and provided with a sliding bolt, f, engaging a socket, g, in the body-frame, substantially as specified.
In testimony that we claim the above we have hereunto subscribed our names in the presence of two witnesses.
