v w SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. `284,263, dated September 4 1883.
To all whom, it may concern:
Application filed January 3, 1883. (No model.)
. Beit known that I, JOHN E..WALsH, of
New York, in the county` and State. of New York, have invented a certain new anduseful Improvement in Grain-Elevators, of which the following is a specification.
i 1 lIhis improvement consists in the combination of a mast erected on a wharf or like place,
. an arm or arms supported-thereon and adapted to be swung around into diiierentpositions, and a grain-elevator supported by the arm or arms.
v The improvement also consists in the com- ..bination of a mast erected on-a wharf or like .i adapted to be swung around into different poplace, an arm or arms' supported thereon and sitions, and a grain-elevator supported by and secured immovably to the armor arms.
The improvement also consists` in the combination of a mast erected on a wharf orlike its support, an arm or arms rigidly connected `to the mast and adapted to be swung around into different positions by the turning of the` mast, and a grain-elevator supported bythe farmorarms. Theimprovement also consistsin the-com- "bination, in a grain-elevator, of a swinging leg adapted to be lowered into a vessel, and a sliding leg adapted to be lowered, so that it can carry off grain from a point belowthe body of the elevator. a
The improvement also consists in the combination, in a grain-elevator, of a swinging leg, a sliding leg7 and a sliding chamber connected with the sliding leg and communicating with both the sliding leg and the swing-l bination, in a grain-elevator, of two swinging weigh-hopper to which grain. taken from different parts of adischarging-vessel may be de-` a livered.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l isA asectional elevation of a grain-elevator embodying my improvement.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same taken in a plane at right angles to the plane of the section in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a horizontalsectionof the elevator, and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of an elevator, illustrating certain modifications.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
A designatesa wharf.
and maintained in a xed position. It is stayed by guy-ropes B. The mast B is provided with yokes C, connected by poles C', and adapted to swivel or turn on the mast. To the lower of these yokes two arms, D, are connected, their outer ends being preferably con- B designates a mast erected` on the wharf v nected by a cross-bar, D, and supported by a rope,"E, connected to the upper one of the yokes C. By turning the yokes on the mast `these arms may be swung around into different positions.
F designates agrai'n-elevator, shownas pro-.-
vided with hangers F', which pass through slots in the arms D, and are provided with wheels which run on the top of the arms. By means of ropes F2 F3 this elevator may be moved outward or inward along the: arms. The ropes F2 are connected to the outer side of the elevator, pass thence around pulleys a, mounted on the cross-bar D; thence around pulleys b on the poles C', and thence to a windlass or other suitable apparatus for operating them. The ropes F3 are connected to the inner side of the elevator, and pass around pulleys c to a windlass or equivalent device:
Although I have shown provision for moving the elevator along the arms, I may in many cases secure it in a 4fixed position. In either case the elevator can be swung over two vessels to facilitate the transfer of grain from one to another.
The grain-elevator is provided with swinging legs d, which are adapted to be lowered into avessel from which grain is to be removed. These legs are` supported on arms d', which are pivoted to the sides of the elevator, near I have in Fig. 1 shown the elevator swung over a ship, G, and a canal-boat, H.
the bottom, and have the said legs pivoted to them near the outer ends. Ropes di are attached'to these-legs, passing thence around pulleys dion the upper portion of the elevator;
thence down around pulleys d4, attached to the legs; thence around. pulleys cl3, and thence to one or more windlasses or like devices. The
legs may be lowered, as shown in Fig. l, or raised, as shown in Fig. 4. At the upper portion they are provided with spout-s d5, whence the grain, raised by bucket elevators, with which they are provided, is discharged.
Inside the body of the elevator are sliding legs e. They are shown as suspended by ropes c', which pass over pulleys e2,- thence around pulleys e3 on the poles C, and thence to one or more windlasses or analogous devices. These legs may, however, be raised and lowered by racks and pinions or other mechanism. These sliding legs are provided with bucket-elevators,fand at the lower end are attached to chambers f, which slide through openings in the bottom of the elevator-body. When the sliding legs are raised these chambers are raised, and when the sliding legs are lowered the 'chambersdescend with them. The spouts d5 of the swinging legs discharge into the chambers f. By combining the sliding legs and chamberswith the swinging legs and enabling f the latter to discharge below the body of the elevator l can make the swinging legs shorter, and hencelighter and less cumbrous than they otherwise would have to be in order to reach l to a given point. rlhe spouts e4 of the sliding legs discharge into weigh-hoppers g.
rFhe grain passes thence to legs h, provided with bucket-elevators. .From the spouts of these legs the grain is delivered to a screening mechanism, z'. Leavingthis screening mechanism the grain passes to a leg, 7c, provided with a bucket-elevator, and from the spout of this leg the grain is discharged into the vessel to which it is to be transferred. An air-pump, Z, sup- .'plies a current of air to aid in cleaning the issupported in a step-bearing, so that it may be turned or rotated, and the yokes C are immovably secured to the mast; hence the mast has to be turned or rotated to swing the arms around.
What l claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination ofl a mast .erected on a wharf or like place, an arm or arms supported thereon and adapted to be swung around into different positions, and a grain-elevator supported by the arm. or arms, substantially as specified. Y'
2. The combination of a mast erected on a wharf or like place, an arm or arms supported different positions, and a grain-elevator supported by and secured immovably to the arm or arms, substantially as specified.
3. The combination of a mast erected on a wharf or vlike place and adapted to be turned or rotated in its support, an arm or arms rigidly connected to the mast and adapted to be swung around into different positions by the turning of the mast, and a grain-elevator supported by the arm or arms, substantially as specified. y
4. .ln a grain-elevator, the combination of a swinging leg adapted to be lowered into a vessel, and a sliding leg adapted to be lowered, so that it can carry off grain from a point below the body of the elevator, substantially as specified.
5. In a grain-elevator, the combination of a swinging leg, a sliding leg, and a sliding chamber connected with the sliding legr and communicating with both the sliding leg and the swinging leg, substantially as specified.
6. In a grain-elevator, the combination of two swinging legs, two sliding legs and chambers, and a weigh hopper, to which grain taken from different parts of a dischargingvessel may be delivered, substantially as specified. f f
