"3 Claims. (Cl.- 296-137 .My. invention relates -.to improvements in. open .top trailer and it morev especially consists of the is structure T described .in the -.specification and pointed out in the annexed claims.
:The purpse-0f my inventionisto provide .a merchandising trailer v that'has achinged -top divided into. two sections for instant. opening and closing; that will permit the rapidloading-and unloading of .the contents through .the open top; that effectsgreatsavingsin the transfer of goods over:theordinarycustom of loading andunloading through the rear end of the vehicleonly; and that provides an easy and efiicient-means-for raising. and lowering the two-section hingedtop throughthe assistance of hydraulic cylinders or other means and interconnectedoperating. mech- .anism.
With these and relatedeobjects. in view, lillus- .trate in. the accompanying drawingsuch anin- .-stance of adaptation .as'will: disclose the broad underlying principle .of the invention without limiting myself .to the .specific .detailsshown thereon and described herein.
This is a substitute for my application. Serial No. 688,396, filed August 5, 1946, nowabandoned. Fig. 1 is a transverse elevation partly in section looking toward the forward end of the trailer,

In practicing my invention, I may use any form of equivalent structure that the exigencies of varying conditions may demand withoutdepartingrfromthe broad spirit of the invention.
A trailer that isequipped with my invention mayinclude the usual chassis. It has an enclosing body provided with a floor I on which the two -.side' walls'2 rest. On the top of-each side wall 'there is hinged a half-cover 3.
At the front endof the sides of the body there "is-a'permanent wall 4 (Figs. 1 and 4) on which the hydraulic operating cylinders I are secured. These;oylinders are supplied in any conventional 'mannerto produce pressure (not shown), and an -"..operating valve I9 may be placed wheremost i convenient and. easily accessible.
There is a lengthwise shaft 8' below therhinges 9 along both side walls. It. extends from'end to 1 end :of .the': side wallsz on which each shaft .has bearings. Each curved cover. has a plurality of .ccurvediiribs H3 and acurvedicover 3 made ofply- .wood :or any other desired material. ...At dif- I ferent'points along the'length of each shaft there are cranks H" to which arms or links i2 1. are pivoted.
.Atttheifrontend ilof each shait'thereisran operating crank Mwhich is'attached by a connecting rodl5 to a. cylinder 1. The'cylindersare :pivoted at [6 so as .to avoid'the' use of a pivoted connecting rod (Figs. land 2). However, the pivoting of the cylinders is not alimitation. The pivoting is on .a plate l1, fastened on the end member 4.
My invention avoids the use of expensive tarpauIinsthat ordinarily cover open top trailers 1 to protect the goods from snow and rain.
'My invention is specially adapted to the handling-of general merchandise in intra and interstate traflic and it is not comparable with sanitary covers usually used for wagons; or roofs as covers of vehicles; or protection covers for trucks nor with hitched-on small trailers used for the :transportation of the tools, etc., required by 1 groups of operatives at points distant from headquarters.
'The operating'mechanism meets all the requirements of efficient engineering and practical use.
In theoperationof the curved top-p0rti0ns-3, I =mayhave aseparate valve) for each hydraulic cylinder? to operatethelengthwiseshafts8 -sep- 3 8. Links 12 from such cranks connect them to the chord members 20 to which the links [2 are slidably attached by being pivoted to a sleeve [3 (Fig. 9).
The water seal 5 includes a screw threaded clamp 2| for holding the parts 3 together.
At the upper meeting edges of each half of the roof there are lengthwise members 23 that extend throughout the entire length of the trailer roof. At the hinged edges of each section 3 there are similar lengthwise members 31, and also 28 (Figs. 1, 2, 5, and 6). The members 23 are held in close engagement with the packing 5 by reason of secured angular members 22, and the clamping screws 2| at desired points within the length of said members. One or more padlocks 24 may be fastened to the parts 22.
At each trailer end the parts 4 and 6 are provided with a drainage channel 25 (Figs. 3 and These channels empty into vertical openings 25 formed within the sidewalls 2. These openings extend through the floor of the vehicle and afford complete drainage. To hold the parts 4 and 6 permanently in place corner-brackets 21 (Fig. 10) are provided.
There are a number of chord members 20 secured to members 23 and 31 for each half of the roof. On these members there are slides l3 pivotedly attached to links I2 and cranks H which together are halves of the roof when actuated by the shafts 8. If desired stops 29 may limit the endwise movements of the slides 13. The floor of the trailer may be extended forward at 30. From this a hitch 3| will connect it to an automobile for pulling the trailer.
The main lengthwise shafts 8 have bearings 32 that are secured to the side walls of the trailer. There is a crank M at the front end of each shaft. In order that the two hinged halves of the trailer roof may be stabilized, a bracket 36 is provided (Fig. 11). This has a flanged portion 35 from which pins 33 project upward. These pins pass through tubular inserts 34 that are driven into holes formed in the members 23. The pins 33 serve as dowels to guide the meeting edges of the covers into engagement so as to hold the two halves securely closed at the front end 4 and the rear end 6 of the trailer body.
In order to seal the joint between the curved portions 3 and the sidewalls 2 a narrow width flexible sheeting 39 is used (Figs. 5 and 6) to cover the joint throughout the length of the member 31 and the sidewalls 2. The cover 40 laps over the portion 39 to cause rain water to flow over the flexible strip 39 without entering the hinged joint 9. When the curved halves are raised as shown in Figs. 2 and 6 the flexible part 33 is slightly bulged out at 38 without injury.
The loading and unloading of the trailer is usually done rapidly through the opening formed between the raised portions 3. If desired the closure 6 at the rear end of the trailer may have its lower portion l8 hinged to the floor so that the closure 6 may be opened as required.
What I claim is:
1. An open top trailer which comprises a chassis, a body on the chassis having a removable rear end, a fixed front end with attached sides, a
moved to raise and lower the two curved-half-top hinged at the upper edge of each side of the body, a separate lengthwise shaft for each half portion of the top, bearings for the shafts located near the top edge of each side of the body, a crank at the front end of each shaft, means for operating said cranks independently of each other to raise and lower the two halves of the roof independently of each other, a plurality of separate cranks on said shafts in addition to the crank at the front end of each shaft, a plurality of chord members supported on and beneath each half of the cover, a slidable member on each chord, pivoted connecting links extending from the said plurality of separate cranks to the sliding members on the chords for raising and lowering the curved roof members, and waterseal linings covering the meeting edges of the curved tops and the adjacent upper edges of the sides of the body.
2. An open top trailer which comprises a chassis, a body on the chassis said body having a removable rear end, a closed front end, sides, and an open top, a pair of curved top closures hinged to the upper edges of the sides, an operating shaft on the inside surface of each side of the body near its top edge, bearings for each shaft at its ends, means for actuating the shafts independently of each other, a chord member secured to the under side of each top closure, sleeves slidable on said chord members, closure operating cranks on the respective shafts, connecting links pivoted to the said cranks and the sleeves on the chords, and waterseal covering on the outside of the hinged edges of the tops throughout their length.
3. A lengthwise curved top closure formed of two separate parts, a body having an open top portion, which supports the curved top closure on a supporting chassis, lengthwise shafts positioned beneath the lower edges of the curved tops on the inside of the body, hinges between the upper edges of the body and the lower edges of the curved closures, closure operating cranks on the shafts, chord members secured on the underside of each half of the covered top, sliding sleeves on the chord members, links pivoted to the cranks and to the sliding sleeves on the chord members, and separate means for operating the shafts to open and close the curved tops independently of each other.
