' 1 Clainis. (01. 294-110) i This invention relates to a barrel liftingmeans whereby metal barrels, drums, or the like may be gripped and lifted for the purpose of moving or transporting the barrels'or drums to another position.
The prime object of our invention is to pronovel' barrel lifting means which is adjustable so as to fit barrels and the like of various sizes and also which will automatically engage or release the barrel or the like.
Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompany-ing vide a semi-automatic barrel lifting means, which V grip metal barrels, drums or the like by the chime so that the barrel, or'th like, can be easily lifted and thentransported and set in another position with'a maximum efficiency of time and space. Barrels, drums, or the like are generally stored on end; the reason being that this saves space and is also more safe for the worker, the
handling of these containers usually involves trucking on hand or power trucks, or lifting them by hand or with power hoists. Occasionally cylindrical containers are also tilted onto their cylindrical sides and then rolled and then retilted onto their ends or heads. All of these methods of handling require costly and hazardous operations, which are entirely eliminated by the use of our invention. In using a hand truck,
equipment of considerabl value must be employed. This method also requires that the barrel, or drum, be partially tilted by hand, after first being separated by a few inches from the wall or other containers. Frequently one person cannot perform this operation alone. Th re is considerable hazard to the workman, due the possibility of slipping, or otherwise injuring parts of the body. Unloading th container from the truck requires other strains upon'the workman,
and if the space is to be conserved, the conpossibility of the container slipping out of theengaging means.
Another object of our invention is to provide a novel barrel liftingmeans, which grips the chime of th container and thus it is possible to single out and lift a single barrel or drum from surrounding barrels without moving or disturbing the other barrels or drums.
A feature of our invention is to provide a The drawing, the subjoined detailed description and the appended claims;
, In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of our barrel lift ing means.
Figure 2 isa fragmentary side elevation of our barrel lifting means, with parts broken away to show interior construction.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, our barrel lifting means includes a frame I, which is ofinverted T shape and preferably formed of tubular'parts. The frame i includes a horizontal member '2 and a' vertical member 3'. A sleeve 4 is slidably mounted on the member 3, and a cap 5 is threaded or otherwise fixedly attached to the upper end of the sleeve. A ring 6 is swivall'y mounted in the cap 5, for example, by means of a nut I which screws onto the shank of the ring, the nut being positioned within the cap 5. A pair of posts 8 and 9 are slidably mounted in the horizontal member 2 and project from each end of this member, substantially as shown. A
head n and H is formed or fixedly attached to the outer end of the posts 8 and 9, respectively.
A dog I2'is formed or fixedly attached to the outer end of each of the heads Ill and H for the purpose of gripping the inner surface of the chime l3 on a barrel or the like l4. The posts 8 and 9 are slidable in the member 2 and thus the heads I0 and I I can be moved in and out to engage barrels of diiferent diameters.
A pair of lugs I4 and I5 are formed on or fixedly attached to the sleeve 4. A pair of links I6 and I! are pivotally attached to the heads l0 and II, respectively, by the pins I8 and I9, respeotively. At their inner ends the links 16 and H are pivotally attached to the lugs I4 and I5,
' respectively, by the pins 20 and 2|, respectively.
The connection of the links to thelugs is slidable, preferably by means of a slot 22 and 23 in the lugs l4 and [5, respectively, and through which the pins 20 and 2|, respectively, extend. The lower faces of the links l6 and I1 are each tapered, as shown at 24 which act as a cam when the chime of the barrel is engaged, thus enabling the barrel lifter to automatically engage the barrel. The cable of a hoist or boom is attached to the ring 6 and swung into position over a barrel by the workmans hands, then dropped onto the barrel, thus causing the dogs l2 to engage the chime of the barrel. The complementary dogs 25 on the links I6 and I1 engage the outside of the chime, thus effectively gripping the barrel and enabling the operator to lift the barrel from its position and transport it to another place. The outside diameter of our barrel lifting means is such that barrels can always be selected from a number of them on a floor, since there is always enough space between the barrels to permit our device to engage any barrel.
Having described our invention, we claim:
1. A barrel lifting means comprising a frame, a pair of posts slidably mounted in said frame, chime engaging means on the outer end of each of the posts, lifting means mounted on the frame, said lifting means being movable relative to the frame, chime gripping means cooperating with said first-named chime engaging means, and means connecting said chime gripping means to said lifting means, whereby said chime gripping means is actuated as the lifting means is moved upwardly by the operator.
2. A barrel lifting means comprising an inverted T-shaped frame, including a horizontal member and a vertical member, a pair of posts slidably mounted in the horizontal member, a chime engaging dog on the outer end of each of said posts, a sleeve slidably mounted on said vertical member, coupling means on the sleeve, a link pivotally attached to each of said posts, each of said links being pivotally attached to said sleeve, and each of said links being adapted and arranged to engage the outside of the chime of a barrel.
3. A barrel lifting means comprising an.in verted T-shaped frame, including a horizontal member and a vertical member, a pair of posts slidably mounted in the horizontal member, a chime engaging dog on the outer end of each of said posts, a sleeve slidably mounted on said vertical member, coupling means on the sleeve, a link pivotally attached to each of said posts, each of said links being pivotally attached to said sleeve, and each of said links being adapted and arranged to engage the outside of the chime of a barrel, each of said links having slidable, pivotal connection of said sleeve.
4. A barrel lifting means comprising a substantially T-shaped frame, including a tubular horizontal member and a vertical member, a sleeve slidably mounted on the vertical member, a link mounted on said sleeve, a pair of lugs on said sleeve, a pair of posts slidably mounted in said horizontal member, a head on the outer end of each of said posts, a dog on each of the heads,
engageable with the inside of a barrel chime, a
link pivotally attached to each of the heads, said links being pivotally attached to a lug with a lostmotion connection, and a dog on each of the links cooperating with said first-named dogs to grip the chime of a barrel.
5. A barrellifting means comprising a substantially T-shaped frame, including a tubular horizontal member and a vertical member, a sleeve slidably mounted on the vertical member, a link mounted on said sleeve, a pair of lugs on said sleeve, a pair of posts slidably mounted in said horizontal member, a head on the outer end of each of said posts, a dog on each of the heads, engageable with the, inside of a barrel chime, a link pivotally attached to each of the heads, said links being pivotally attached to a lug with a lostmotion connection, and a dog on each of the links cooperating with said first-named dogs to grip the chime of a barrel, and each of said links having a tapered surface at the outer ends thereof engageable with thebarrel chime to operate said dogs and permit engagement of the barrel chime.
