JAMES HENRY TEUBERT, OF COAL VALLEY, WEST VIRGINIA.
DEVICE FOR UNLOADING VESSELS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 304,581, dated September 2, 1884-.
Application filed July 21, 1884.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J AMEs H. TEUBERT, of Coal Valley, in the county of Fayette and State of XVest Virginia,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Unloading Vessels, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming part thereof.
This invention relates to means for unloading barges of coal, grain, &c., by means of cars and inclined tracks.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation showing part of a barge in section, the same illustrating my invention; and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
A indicates a stationary inclined railwaytrack, which is supposed to be built on the bank of a river.
B is a barge, having two parallel railwaytracks, 0, laid in its hull underneath the coal or grain receptacle D, and leading up the hatchways E at one or both ends of the vessel. The two tracks G are connected together by branch tracks F, by which cars may be moved from one side of the vessel to the other, in order to reach a turntable, G, in one of the tracks. The turn-table connects with abranch track, H, leading up a hatchway, I, at one side of the vessel, to allow the cars to be drawn out and up the inclined track A at the side of the barge, instead of the end, when most convenient. The tracks 0 H of the barge are to connect with the track A by means of switches J, pivoted to the gunwale of the boat, and rest- (No model.)
ing on or against the track A. The ends of the switches which rest on the track A are grooved to fit over the rails 011 track A, and thereby prevent displacement. The car K is to bemoved up and down the railways by mean s of the cable L and suitable machinery (not shown) for operating the same.
The coal or grain receptacle D is formed with hopper-shaped sections M,having the discharge-openings N arranged directly over the tracks 0, and provided with sliding gates for opening and closing said openings.
What I claim is- 1. The barge having connected tracks 0 O, turn-table G, elevated branch track H, and switch J, as shown.
2. The barge having hopper-shaped receptacles D, with gated openings in the bottom, and a subjacent space beneath the same provided with car-tracks, in combination with a car traveling on said tracks in said subjacent space.
3. The barge having hopper-shaped receptacles D, with gated openings at the bottom, and a subjacent space and communicating hatchways E, in combination with tracks extended up said hatchway, and a car adapted to run thereon, as and for the purpose described.
JAMES HENRY TEUBERT.
