. UNITED STATES PATENT WILLIAM H. KELLY, OF NEW YoR N. Y.
HAND-CVART.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 241,545, dated May 17, 1881.
Application filed October 5, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. KELLY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Hand-Carts; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to hand-cart bodies. Its object is to provide a hand-cart body arranged with adjustable compartments and suited to the use of retail dealers in provisions or other articles, who have frequent occasion, in the course of their business, to transport to places in the neighborhood of their stores goods in parcels of small size, differing in bulk and requiring to be kept distinct from each other. Such dealers, for example, are city grocers and market-men, who are accustomed to make daily deliveries of goods at their cus tomers houses. I
The invention consists in the arrangement of the interior of a rectangular cart-body in two equal rectangular divisions or compartments by means of a fixed partition-wall, and in providing the sides of the partition-wall and the sides of the body opposite to it with grooves arranged as hereinafter described, whereby each of the ain compartments becomes susceptible of dlvision into temporary compartments by means of partition plates provided for the purpose and adapted to slide in the grooves and to be inserted and removed at pleasure. The body is also provided with hinged covers having spring-locks, and with basket-hooks.
The construction and arrangement of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure 1 is avertical longitudinal section of the cart-body through one of the permanent compartments. Fig. 2 is a top-plan view of the body with the cover removed, and Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the body closed.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Ais the cart-body, consisting of bottom and sides of ordinary construction, and provided with ordinary running-gear and handle.
B is a rigid upright partition-piece, fixed within the body parallel to two of its opposite sides and connecting the other two sides, and separating the interior into two permanent equal rectangular compartments.
B are grooves, equal in size and perpendicular to the bottom of the body, and formed in the sides of the partition-piece B, and in the inner sides of the sides of the body opposite to the partition piece B. Each groove extends from the top to the bottom of the body,
and is perpendicularly opposite to the corresponding groove in the opposite range.
E are thin boards or plates, adapted to slide in any opposite grooves. They are constructed to slide therein so loosely as to be inserted in the body or removed at pleasure. When inserted they divide the main compartments into smaller ones. The plates E may be furnished with handles.
O are covers'hinged to the horizontal crosspiece D, and provided with spring-locks Gr as a protection against theft.
F is a hook attached to the under edge of the body-frame, either at the front or rear.
The compartments formed by the partitionplates E may be changed in size, number, and
arrangement by varying the position or number of the plates. When several parcels are to be carried at the same time the compartments are to be arranged to receive them with reference to their weight, number, and bulk. Whether the parcels are carried loose or in baskets, the carter can readjust the balance of the cart-body from time to time by rearrang ing the compartments and redistributing the parcels. The compartments aid in preserving the balance of the cart, and in protecting their contents from injury by keeping them from shifting about. In case the parcels are can ried loose the compartments will also keep and spring-locks G G, all constructed and an them from intermingling.
Partition-plates, when not in use, may be packed awayin' the end grooves of the perma- 5 nent compartments.
I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, the following:
In a hand-cart, the body A, provided with the partition-piece B, grooves B, partitionro plates E, cross-piece D, hinged covers 0 O,
described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature 1n presence of two witnesses.
WM. H. KELLY.
