SELDEN G. NORTH, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE TRANSIT APPARATUS COMPANY, (LIMITED,) OF SAME PLACE.
STORE-SERVICE APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 325,435, dated September 1, 1885.
(N0 model.)
To all whom, it may concern;
Be it known that I, SELDEN G. Non'rn, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Store-Service Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates in general to the class of store-service apparatus in which the traveling carrier is a basket or other goods-receiver suspended from the depending arm or hanger of a one or two wheeled truck, the wheel or wheels of which travel upon an elevated track composed of a single suspended rail.
, My invention relates, specifically, to the carrier receivers or apparatus for receiving the carriers at the end of a given line of track, and for permitting of the descent or bringing down of said carriers, one by one, from the level of the track to a lower level and within the reach of an attendant; and it comprehcnds improvements not only upon the receivers themselves, but also upon certain devices for stopping or arresting the carriers at the end of a given track and before their travel upon the receiver. In Letters Patent of the United States, No. 291,280, granted January 1, 1885 to Isidore Birg, there is shown and described a receiving apparatus of substantially the character herein set forth and improved upon; and in Letters Patent of the United States, No. 800,198, granted June 10, 1884:, to said Isidore Birg, there is likewise shown and described astop apparatus for, under certain conditions of disposition of parts, arresting the movement of a carrier onto a receiver of substantially the character herein employed and improved upon.
My invention further comprehends improvements upon a certain improved combined receiver and arrester invented by the said Isidore Birg, application for patent for which was executed and filed in the United States Patent Office simultaneously with this application.
My present invention is an improvement upon the said last-namcd invention of the said Birg in that it comprehends an improved means of connection between the receiver and the carrier-arrester, and an improved construction of the receiver itself, the arrcster, and the hood.
Apparatus conveniently embodying a good form of my improvements is represented in the accompanying drawings and described in 5 this specification, the particular subject-matter claimed as novel being hereinafter delinitely specified.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my improved apparatus in the position which the parts occupy when the re ceiver is elevated and the carrier-truck in the act of escaping from the arrester and running upon the receiver. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal central, partly sectional, elevation of the same,
representing the parts in the positions which they occupy when the receiver has been dropped, when the carrier is about to be brought down, and when a second carrier has been arrested by the arrester. Fig. 3 is a mag nified perspective view of the receiver in its lifted position. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the apparatus represented in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is an end sectional View of the receiver. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the arrester.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
In the drawings, A represents the track, which conveniently depends from the forked suspender or bridge B and a track-hanger, 8o 13*. A is a guard-track adjacent thereto.
0 0 represent several traveling carriers.
E is the carrier-arrester, which is a suitablycnrved channeled or guttcred lever, conveniently pivoted at or near its center to a bracket, 1), depending from the forked suspender B. The front arm of the arrester is designated 6 and the back arm 0.
The receiver F, which operates in conjunction with the terminal of the track and is eonveniently pivoted thereto, is composed of two parallel suitably shaped side plates, f, connected and sustained together by a suitable cover, f", or otherwise held in fixed but suitably distant relationship.
Close to one side plate, and connected therewith, is the track-bar G, which, when the receiver is raised, constitutes a continuous connection of the track.
H is a detent pivoted to the track-bar of IO the receiver and connected with the liftingcord J.
k k are the pulleys for the cord, which are housed in the receiver.
It will now be understood that the receiver is itself a cage inclosed at sides and top, the floor of which, when in the horizontal posi tion, is constituted by the track-bar Gor continuation of the track. When in a vertical position, the receiver is in effect a suspended pocket or cage from which the carrier cannot escape except at the will of the operator.
L is a slotted hood, which is made as a casting incasing the receiver, and which is suitably supported from the forked suspender B. The cord J passes through the slot of the hood.
I is alever of the first order, pivoted at i to the forked suspender B or other fixed support and connecting the arrester with the receiver.
The upper or rearmost extremity of this lever is preferably provided with an areshaped slot, 6*, within which plays a pin, 11, laterally projecting from the back or rear arm, 6", of the arrester. The lower or foremost extremity of the lever is provided with a straight slot, t within which plays a pin, p
laterally projectingfrom the receiver. By the above means I provide a positively-operating lever-connection between the arrester and the receiver, which secures the effectual operation of the arresterto occasion the blocking of the track by its front arm when the receiver is dropped, and which, when the receiver is lifted, insures the reverse throw of the arrester, so that its rear arm is deflected to block the advance of a carrier upon the track. The contrivance is compact and practically within the hood, notliable to get out of order, and does not in any manner interfere with the operation of the lit't ingcord.
It is proper to add that I lay no claim to the invention either of the hood, the cage-like receiver, the pivoted detent, the pulleys applied to the receiver, or to the broad idea of positively connecting the arrester with the receiver, so that they cooperate automatically,
as all of these features of invention, as well as the invention, broadly, of the receiver itself and of the arrester itself, originated with the aforesaid Isidore Birg.
The gist of my idea resides in the provision of a lever-connection between-the arrester and the receiver and in such improved shape of the receiver-hood and other parts as shown in the drawings.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. In a store-service apparatus, the combination of a track suitably supported or suspended, a carrier-arrester in propinquity to the terminal extremity of the track, a carrier-receiver applied to the terminal extremity of the track, and a lever connecting the said carrierarrester and the said receiver, substantially as set forth.
2. In a store-service apparatus, in combination with a track suitably suspended or supported, a carrier-arrester in propinquity to the terminal extremity of the track, a carrier-receiver applied to the terminal extremity of the track, and a pivoted bar or lever the upper end of which is adapted to operate in connection with the arrester and the lower end in connection with the receiver, substantially as set forth.
3. In a store-service apparatus, the combination of the track, the pivoted carrier-arrester, the pivoted carrier-receiver, and a lever pivoted at a point intermediate between the pivots of the arrester and of the receiver, and adapted as toits upper or rear extremity to have a connection with the rear arm of the arrester and at its lower extremity to have a connection with the carrier, substantially as set forth.
4. As an article of manufacture, a pivoted carrier-receiver for a store-service apparatus of the class herein recited, having inclosed sides,- a cover or brace for fixedly connecting said sides, and a rail or track bar in the region of the floor and secured to one of said sides.
5. As an article of manufacture, a slotted hood, substantially as set forth.
6. In combination, the hinged receiver, the fixedslotted hood, and a cord attached to and adapted to operate the receiver and passing through the slot of the hood, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 28th day of March, A. D..1885.
SELDEN G. NORTH.
In presence of J. BONSALL TAYLOR, 7M. 0. STRAWBRIDGE.
