WAGON EN D-GATE.
SFECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,125, dated September 16, 188%.
Application tiled July 5, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT A. WILLLuns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sterling, in the county of Whiteside and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Wagon End-Gates; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to to which it appertains'to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
I5 My invention pertains to wagon end-gates, and refers more especially to certain novel mechanism used in connection with such endgate to open or securely close the latter without removing the entire end-gate or withdraw ing the transverse brace-rod. The mode now very generally adopted for transporting grain to market is to haul the same loose in the wagon-box. At the grainelevators means are employed for dropping the rear end of the wagon and permitting the grain to run out at the rear of the wagon-box into a hopper which communicates with the lower end of the elevator. This systemhas led to the devising of several methods of opening the rear end or end-gate of the wagon-box, so as to permit the egress of the grain without the inconvenicnceof removing the end'gate entirely from the wagon-box. These devices, while in the main successful, have been objectionable on the ground of either being too expensive or complicated and liable to break or become inoperative, and in some instances they are unsatisfactory from the fact that they become loose, and rattle from use and the in- .40 evitable and continual jolting of the wagon,
In my invention I provide a simple, strong, and effcctal mode of accomplishing the aforesaid results, while the devices employed add practically nothing to the weight, and can be made to work with absolute certainty.
In the drawings, Figure l is a rear elevation of a wagon-box provided with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the devices employed for holding the endgate shut and for opening the same. Fig. 3is
a detailed view of the lock-bolt and its actuating devices.
A is the ordinary wagon-box provided in its rear end with the narrow end-gate B, which latter is held in cleats in the usual way by means of the transverse tightening screw-rod C. To the lower edge of the end-gate Bis suitably hinged, so as to open outward, the swinging end-gate D, which is of such width as to fill the space between the lower edge of 6x, the end-gate B and the upper side of the bottom of the box A. The inner cleats, which hold the gate B, have a greater lateral thickness-i. 6., extend farther into the box A than the outer cleats, and the gate D passes 6 3 closely within such outer cleats and rests against such inner ones. On the outside and center of the gate D is pivoted the crank-lever E by means of a bolt, a, which passes through a hole, b, in and is riveted on the inside of the gate D.
F is a look-bolt provided with a large annular opening, 0, at its upper end, and a vertical slot, (1, near its lower end. The lower end of the bolt F is fitted to enter a hole, G, formed entirely through the bottom of the box A directly beneath the bolt a when the gate D is closed. The lock-bolt F is placed between the crank-lever E and the outside of the gate D,with the bolt a passed through the opening 0 in the bolt F, the bolt (0 being in such relatian to the hole G that such bolt abuts against the upper side of the opening 0 when the lower end of the bolt F is engaged in the hole G.
'On the inner face of the crank-lever E is formed, integral with such lever, the cam H, which latter is oblong, and has its greatest diameter in line with such crank-lever, andis eccentrically placed within, and traverses the opening 0 in the lock-bolt F.
The operation is as follows: hen the cranklever E is turned outward and upward,the cam II engages the wall of the opening 0 at the point of such cam farthest from the bolt a, and thereby forces the bolt F out of the hole G, 5 and permits the gate D to be swung outward. When the gate D is closed, a contrary movement of the crank-lever E forces the lower end of the bolt F into the hole G, and secures the gate D. The weight of the crank-lever E through the slot d and gate D from the outon the inside of such gate.
side, and is furnished with a thread and nut The bol't L has side flanges,whi011extcnd over thelateral walls of the slot (1, and thereby hold the bolt F snugly against the gate D, while the slot (1 permits the reciprocal movement of thc bolt F. The outer end of the bolt L is formed into a ring-head, f, in which the finger or thumb can be inserted to draw the lower end of the gate D outward.
hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s
1. The combination of the boX A, gate D, crank-lever E, provided with the cam H, lockbolt F, provided with the opening 0 and slot d, and the bolt L, substantially as shown, and for the purpose specified.
2. In combination with a wagon-box and hinged cud-gate therein, a lock-bolt, F, provided with an opening, 0, and adapted to engage a hole, G, in such box, and a crank-lever, E, providedwith a cam, H, and adapted to traverse such opening 0, and actuate such bolt F, substantially as shown, and for the purpose mentioned.
In testimony whereof I my signature in presence oftwo witnesses.
