SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,138, dated January 20, 1885.
Application filed October 4, 1884. (No model.)
fence and post lifter with one of the wheels removed. chine.
My invention relates to means for raising posts and corners of fences whichhave sunk too low into the ground; and it consistsin the detailed construction and combination of parts, hereinafter' fully described, and shown. in the accompanying drawings.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts in both figures..
A is a crow-bar, the point of which Vis inserted under the corner of the fence to be lifted.
B is arack fastened on the upper side of crowbar A, the teethrof which gear into the teeth on a segment, @,which is firmly secured tothe lever D for working the machine.' The end of lever D projects beyond the segment C, and is formed with a radius or curve on the top corner, over which a dat link-chain, E, is stretched. One end of this chain is securely attached to the leve'r D by the fastener e, and the other is attached to the crow-bar by the eyebolt e. Guide-plates ezare attached to the sides of the lever to keep the chain from slipping off.
F is the axle, provided with wheelsf for moving the machine about. The wheels f run loose on the ends of the axle F, which is secured to a casting, G, extending between the wheels, and provided with proj ectingportions g, which form a bed for the crow-bar A to slide on.
H are brackets, one of which is bolted on eitherfside of the crow-bar to the casting G, and provided with a pin, h, in the upper part of them, which forms a pivot for the lever D and toothed segment to work on. 4
I is a handle securely bolted to the casting Fig. 2is a plan view of the same ma- G and bent upward, with a loop, t', at the end of it, which lmay-be sprung overapin, d, projecting from the side of lever D.
1 J is a scotch-lever, formed with a double end, j, pivoted to the axle F of the machine. The end of lever J away from the axle is pr0- vided with a downwardly-prejecting point, j', for digging into the ground. The space between the forksj of the lever is filled in with wire-netting, and may be used for removing large stones which are too heavy to carry and maybe in the wayof the machine. The stones can be dragged up onto the netting when the lever J is on the ground, and the machine wheeled along forsome distance andthe stones pushed off out of the way.
K is a chain, one end of which is made fast to thc lever J and the other to the end t of the handle I. A hook, d', is attached to the side of lever D.
Y'Vhen it is desired to couple the lever J to the lever D, one of the links in the chain K is passed over this hook.
The operation of the machine is as follows: When it is desired to raise the corner of a fence, the lever D is thrown upward into a nearlyvertical position, as shown by the dottedlines in Fig. 1, with the crow-bar pointing downward. The machine is wheeled close to the fence by pushing it along with the handle I. The chain K is unhooked from the lever D and the scotch-lever J pressed downward, so that the point j enters the ground and prevents the machine from running backward. rlhe operator, who keeps his feet on lever J to prevent it from slipping up, grasps the handle I with his left hand, and with his right pulls the lever D toward him. The movement of the `toothed segment causes the crow-bar A to ad- IOO D, having a toothed segment, C, and with one end of it projecting beyond said -toothed segnient, and the chain E, attached to the crowbar A and extending over the projecting end of the lever D, to which it is also attached, substantially as described and shown.
2. In afenceandpostlilter, the combination ofthe crow-bar A, having a toothed rack, B, the lever D, having a toothed segment, C, and With one end projecting beyond saidsegnient, chain E, attached to crow-bar A and extend ing over the projecting end of lever D, fastener e, for attachingsaid chain tolever D, and guide-plates e?, attached to the sides of the lever, substantially as shown and specified.
3. Inafence and postlifter, the combination of crow-bar A, having toothed rack B, lever D, having toothed segment C, chain E, attaching said crow-bar to said lever, brackets H, in which lever D is pivoted, casting G, provided with the projecting portions g, and axle F,provided with Wlieelsf for moving t-he machine about, substantially as described and shown,
4C. The combination of crow-bar A, having toothed rack L, lever D, having toothed segment C, chain E, attaching said crow-bar to said lever, brackets H, in Which-said lever is pivoted, casting G, provided with projecting portions g, axle F, provided with Wheels f, and handle I, secured to casting G and provided with the looped end i for engaging with pin d in lever D, substantially as shown, described, and set forth.
5. The combination of the lever J, pivoted on axle F and provided with an end,j, for digging into the ground, chain K, handle I, having the looped end i, lever D, having toothed segment C, pin d, and hook d', chain E, crowbar A, having toothed rack B, brackets H, in which lever D is pivoted, casting G, provided with projecting portions g, and axle F, mounted on wheels, substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
