(01. zeta-r19) 2 Claims.
The present inventionrelatesto new and useful improvements in load holding devices; and more particularly to means for holding barrels, hogsheads, drums and the like when loaded horizontally in pyramidal form against longitudinal sliding or shifting movement while being transported in railway cars, trucks or other vehicles.
An important object of the invention is to provide quick detachable means between the ends of the stacked barrels which firmly holds the uppermost as well as the lowermost barrels rigidly to each other to prevent longitudinal shifting movement of one relative to the other.
A further object of the invention is to provide a load holding device of this character which includes end plates positioned at the ends of the stacked barrels and connected to each other by a chain or cable together with means whereby the plates may be tightened against the ends of the barrels in clamping engagement therewith and whereby the device may be carried in a compact form for easy handling, when not in use.
A still further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is efficient and reliable in operation, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of horizontally stacked barrels or drums with parts broken away and shown in section and showing the load holding device in position thereon.
Figure 2 is an end elevational view.
Figure 3 is an enlarged front elevational view of the chain tightening drum.
Figures 4 and 5 are enlarged vertical sectional views taken respectively on the lines 4-4 and 55 of Figure 3, and
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the rear holding plate.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates a front holding plate of substantially triangular form having a pair of horizontally spaced apart bearing plates 5 suitably secured to its front surface and in which the shaft ends 1 of a drum 8 are Journaled.
A .toothed.lwheel or. ratchctl 9 is securedto 7 one end-of the shaft I and. alver H)" is pivoted" on theshaft adjacent ratchet; A dog. I i is pivoted on the lever to engage the teeth'of "the ratchet to rotate the drum 8 by movement of the lever in one direction.
A second toothed wheel or ratchet I2 is secured to the opposite end of shaft 1 and with which a pivoted pawl or dog [3 is engageable to hold the shaft and drum against reverse rotation.
A chain I4 is secured at one end to a bolt and nut [5 at one of th flanges of the drum 8 and extends through an opening l6 at the central portion of the plate 5.
The other end of the chain I4 is attached to a horizontal bar I! on the rear surface of a rear plate l8 likewise of substantially triangular shape.
The front plate 5 is formed at its upper edge with a rearwardly projecting flange I9 and the rear plate I8 is formed at its upper edge with a forwardly projecting flange 20.
In the operation of the device the plates 5 and I8 are placed at the opposite ends of a group of hogsheads, barrels, drims or the like as indicated at 2| stacked horizontally in pyramidal form in a manner commonly employed for transporting the hogsheads on the bed 22 of a railway car or truck and with the sides of the stacked hogsheads held against lateral rolling movement by chocks 23.
The flan es l9 and 20 are hooked over the rim 24 of the upper hogsheads or barrels 25 to support the front and rear plates thereon and the chain I4 is extended under the upper hogshead or row of hogsheads, as the case may be, and attached to the bar I! of the rear plate 18 by a suitable collar or clevis 2B. The chain is then wound on the drum 8 by lever III to tighten the chain and thus clamp the plates 5 and I8 at the opposite ends of the load whereby the upper, as well as the lower hogsheads are prevented from longitudinal movement.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the construction, operation and advantages of the device will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described and the scope of the appended claims.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
l. A load holding device for hogsheads and similar containers stacked horizontally in pyramidal form, said holding device comprising a pair of plates positioned at the ends of the containers in bridging engagement with a plurality of the containers, and means connecting theplates to each other and holding the containers against relative endwise movement, said means comprising a drum journaled on one of the plates, 2. flexible member windable on the drum and connected to the other of said plates, and a manually operable ratcheting device for the drum.
2. A load holding device for preventing relative endwise movement of hogsheads stacked horizontally with the highest one resting on two lower ones, said device comprising a pair of triangular plates relatively smaller than the ends of the hogsheads and opposed against the ends of the same at opposite ends of the stack, one of said plates having an aperture therein, a straight REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
