GEORGE W. MARSLAND AND ARNOLD HITOHCOOK, OF PANA, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN WAGON-RACKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 217.390, dated July 8, 1879; application filed August 20, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, GEORGE W. MARS- LAND and ARNOLD HITGHGOCK, of Pana, in
the county of Christian and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Wagon- Rack, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention has for its object to provide a new and improved construction of racks for wagons to adapt them for the transportation of hay, grain, fodder, and similar articles, as well as for transporting hogs, sheep, and products of various kinds.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a top view of our improved wagonrack. Fig. 2 is avertical cross-section of the same, taken on the line 00 w of Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the boil-bed of the rack, the sills a and end bars, b, fitting tight to the close bottom, which latter has a sliding board, 0, removable from either end, for taking out seeds shaken off during transportation of grain and saved by falling into the tight box-bed A. V
B are the side racks, and B the end racks, of a vertical frame formed by securing horizontal rails O to upright posts D, and attachable to the box-bed A by inserting the lower ends of the said posts in staples d on the outside of the sills a and end boards or bars, 12. This detachable frame B B is used in combination with the box-bed A for transportation of sheep, hogs, &c.
When desired to transport hay, fodder, &c., the vertical frame is removed from the box bed A, and a horizontal (or about horizontal) frame attached instead. This consists of the 1 two inclined side racks, E, formed of parallel longitudinal rails F, fastened upon cross-bars G, so as to extend along the outside of the sills a. For this purpose the bars G of each rack E are notched at m, and rest upon one of the sills a, and their ends g, reaching across the bed A, are inserted in mortises e in the inside of the opposite sill, near the bottom. To prevent them from rising from the sills and getting out of the said mortises, two or more of the bars G are provided outside of the bed A with a staple, f, and hook H, and
secured by the latter to a staple, h, attached to the outer side of the sill a.
The ladder I in front of the bed, used for binding the load, is hinged to the inside of the front end board, b, so that it may be turned down, as in Fig. l, or raised, as in Fig. 2. The lower leaf of each of the saidhinges z'is slotted to fit upon a staple, J, in the end bar, b, and is held firmly to the said bar I) by a wedge or key, K, inserted through the saidstaple. By taking out the keys K the ladder I may be detached from the box-bed when re-
