1 rMULTI-PART sLED .Franz X.- shnitzler, De'frit, Mich. Application october 1o, 19ss,seria1 No. 766,586VA a Claims. (onzen-1s) l This invention relates -to collapsible sleds and, more particularly, to a novel and improved multi-part collapsible sled.
I-t is the primary object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved multi-part sled particularly adapted for use in carrying game, such as deer and other large animals, which are difficult to 'drag through the woods after they have beenV killed.
It is another object ofthe present invention to provide a collapsible multi-part sled for hunting purposes and the like which may be collapsed into a compactlightweight unit and which may be easily carried when not in use.
lIt is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved collapsible multi-part sled which may be made from a suitable lightweight material as aluminum or plastic and which is constructed so that game may be readily secured on it, and it may he easily pulled by means of a drag rope or the like. It is still another object of ythe present invention to provide a novel and improved multi-part collapsible sled 'which includes a plurality of interchangeable sections whereby the sled may be formed to any desirable length depending on the number of interchangeable sections used.
Other objects, features andadvantages of this invention will be apparent from the following detailed description and appended claims, reference being had to the 4accompanying drawing forming apart of the speciication wherein likey reference numerals-designate corresponding parts of the several views.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of an illustrative embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the structure illustrated in Fig. 1, taken along the line 2-2 thereof, and looking in the direction ofthe arrows;
2,927,799 f Patented .8 12a@ enclosed along the sides thereof bythe integrally Vformed longitudinallyA disposed runners 15nd 1.6 which extend downwardly from the bottom wall 14. As best seen in Fig. 3, the bottom wall 14 slopes upwardly proceeding from the rear end thereof and is rounded to ,formt l'e nose part of `the section 10iv ,The nose section 10 is further provided with the integral'side walls 17 and ,18 which terminate at theirlowerends with the outer sides of the runners 15 and 16, respectively, and'whichare curved upwardly and outwardly and have the upper ends thereof turned overly and inwardly to Yform the peripheral anges 19 and 20, respectively. The anges 19 and 20 may =be said to be -folded back over the side lwalls .17 and 18, respectively. The frontends of the nosesection side walls 17 and 18 are curved inwardly toward each other and meet at the front end 21 of this section `to form the front nose end of this section 10. -As best seen in Figs. 1 and 2, the runners 15 and 16 extend forwardly from the rear end of the nose section 10 approximately one-half the length thereof.` The nose section 10 is provided with the hole 22 which is formed through the forward portion of the bottom wall 14 and to which is adapted to be mounted any suitable drag rope as23.
As shown in Fig. 1, the bottomV wall 14 and Athe side walls 17 and 18 terminate in a vsubstantially straight .transverse line. The sidewalls 17 and 18 areeachprovided near the upper ends thereof with a rope hole as 24 and 2S, respectively.- The rear end of the nose section 10 is open for the reception of the front section' 11`, as more fully described hereinafter. The nose section 10 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes as 26, 27 and Fig. 3 is an enlarged elevational sectional view of the 'n structure illustrated in Fig. 1, taken along the line 3-3 thereof, and looking in the direction of the arrows;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary top plan view of the front and rear end of two sections of the sled of the present invention and showing these parts in a separated position; and,
Fig. 5 is an enlarged elevational sectional view of the structure illustrated in Fig. 1, taken along the line 5-5 thereof, and looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring now to the drawing, an illustrative embodiment is shown which comprises the nose section 10, the front section 11, the central section 12 and the rear section 13. The front, central and rear sections 11, 12 and 13, respectively, are all identically constructed as will be more fully described hereinafter. All of the sled sections 28 formed through the left wall, the bottom wall and the right wall, respectively. f `v The front, central and rear sections 11, 12 and 13, respectively, are each identically formed and, accordingly, front section 11 will be describedin detail with the similar parts of the sections 12 and 13: being marked with corresponding reference numerals followed by the small letters a and. b, respectively.-A As best seen in Figs. 1 and 4, the front section 11 comprisesbthe bottom wall 29 which is provided along the outersides thereof with the longitudinally extended, downwardly depending integral runners 30 and 31. k The front section 11 further includes the outwardly and upwardly curved left and right side walls 32 and 33, respectively. The side walls 32 and 33 terminate at their lower ends at the runners 30 and 31, respectively, and terminate at their upper ends in the inwardly folded-over flanges 34 and 35. The runners 30 and 31 and the flanges 34 and 35 extend longitudinally of the sled. The side walls 32 and'` 33 cated by thenumerals 37 and 38, respectively. The
As best seen in Fig. l, the side walls 32 and 33 of the yfront section 11 areeach provided with rope holes therethrough as 49 and V50, respectively, which are aligned with the holes 24 and 2S in the nose section 1t) when these two sections areV connected together. It will be seen that these aligned holes in the sides of the sled provide means for lashing an object in the sled by means of ropes secured through these holes.
It Vwill be seen that the sections 11., 12 and 13 are each provided with rope holes along the rear ends thereof as' 5I and 52, which correspond to the holes 24 and 25`A in the nose section.l It will also be seen that each of the sections 11, 12 and 13 is provided with the bolt holes 53, 54V and 55 along the rear ends thereof which correspond tothe boltholes 26, 27 and 28, respectively, in the rear end of the nose section 10. The front, central and rear sections 11, 12 and 13 areall formed with a slight curvature which is slightly concave facing upwardly. It will further be seen that the sections 11, 12 and 13 are secured together by bolts and wing nuts similar to those for connecting the' front section 11 and nose section together and similar reference numerals have lbeen used followed b y the small letters a and br, respectively. Although the multi-part sled of the present invention has been illustrated as having the three similarl'y formedl sections, 11, 12 and 13, it will be understood that the sled may be formed with more or less of these sections to make a longer or shorter sled as desired. It will be seen that the sections 11, 12 and 13 are substantially formed straight along the transverse ends thereof, thatis, the front and rear ends.
While it will be apparent that the preferred embodiment of the invention herein disclosed is well calculated to fulll the objects above stated, it will be appreciated that the invention'is susceptible to modification, variation and change without departing from the proper scope ifa'ir meaning of the subjoined claims.
