Application filed December 16, 1885. Serial No. 185,792. (No model.)
T 0 all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, \VILLIAM LOUDEN, of Fairfield, in the county of Jefferson and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hay-Carriers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others 'skilledin the art to which it pertains to make and useit, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form'part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in hay-carriers; and it consists in the combination of an elevated track or railway,asuitable carriage for moving thereon, one or two operating-ropes to which the draft-animal is attached, and suitable guiding-pulleys located so as to conduct the operating-ropes from the carriage in opposite directions, and to return them substantially in a circuit to a common point adjacent to the side of the track, for attachment to the draft-animal, whereby the movement of the draft-animal in one direction will elevate the load and draw the carriage along the traclgand the movement of the draftanimal in the opposite direction will return the carriage to the starting-point.
It further consists of improvements in the construction and combination of parts,whereby double pawl-levers will simultaneously engage the operating-rope and hold it clamped in opposite directions and be simultaneously released therefrom. so that the carriage will operate in either direction 011 the track, and be reversed to operate in different directions by simply drawing a continuous rope through the carriage and pulleys in different directions, and attaching the hoisting single-tree to it at different places.
It further consists in an equalizing-lever used in connection with the hoisting-tackle of the carriage, so that the leverage of the draftanimal over the load will be increased.
It still further consists in the arrangement and combination of parts, which will be more fully described hereinafter.
Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of ahaycarriage embodying my invention, showing different methods of arranging the ropes. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the carriage. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the carriagealone. Fig. 5 is an inverted view of the two operating-levers. Fig. 6 is a detail view showing the catch by which the carriage is fastened in place. Fig. 7 is a vertical section of the upper portion of the carriage-frame. tion of the two operating-levers, taken through the pivot of one of them. view of the swivel-hook connection.
A represents the traclnwhich may be of any suitable construction.
The carriage-frame B may be of the shape here shown, or any other preferred, and may be composed of two equal parts secured together, with the operating parts of the carriage between them, or in any other suitable manner. A plate, .0, is secured to the upper part of the carriage-frame B by suitable bolts or rivets. This plate 0 is held apart from the frame B by means of webs or flanges D,
which are formed upon and constitute a part of the plate. The plate 0 being attached to the frame B on the side next to the track, the supporting-rollers E are journaled between them and support the carriage upon the track. The webs D are just sufficiently long to prevent the plate 0 from binding against the rollers E, so that they. will revolve freely while the carriage is traversing the track. Formed as a part of the webs D,and on the under side ofthem, are flanges F, which are longer than the webs I), so as to catch under the upper plate of the frame B, as shown in Fig. 7. These flanges F serve as braces to keep the plate 0 from slipping upward, and prevents the journals of the rollers E from springing under the weight of the load. 7
To insure the flanges F from slipping from under the edge of the frame .13, incase the connecting bolts or rivets should become loose, books may be formed on the ends of the flanges F, as shown. Below the track are journaled, within the carriage-frame B, two rope-sheaves, I, and passing over the rope in the usual manner is the trip-pulley K. \Vithin the carriageframe, and between the two rope-sheaves and Fig. 9 is a detail Fig. 8 is a vertical secthe track, are also pivoted the two double- ICO the upper ends, which are provided with hooks N, will engage suitable stops or catches, O, 011 the under side of the track, and hold the carrier from moving in either direction on the track. When the upper ends are released from the catches O, the lower ends, which are provided with suitable clamping devices, will engage the hoisting-rope J and hold it clamped against the rope-sheaves I, so that it cannot pass them in either direction. The pull of the draft-animal on the hoisting'rope J will bring the trip-pulley K in contact with the lower ends of both levers, and will free their upper ends from the catches O and allow the carriage to traverse the track in whichever direc tion the hoisting-rope may be drawn, when the weight of the load elevated will cause the trip-pulley K to descend sufficiently to allow the lower ends of the levers M to engage and hold the hoisting-rope. The levers M can be made to occupy separate planes within the frame of the carriage, and in this case the grooves in the rope-sheaves I will have to be set out of line with each other, and in line with the end of the lever that operates upon it. The trip-pulley K will also have to be made wide enough to engage both levers, or an intermediate piece will have to be used that will operate bot-h levers. The preferable way is to construct the upper ends of the levers in different planes, while their lower ends are placed in the same plane, as shown in Fig. 5. In this way the clamping ends of the levers, the rope-sheaves, the trip pulleys, and the hoisting-rope will all be in line with each other, while the upper ends of the levers will engage separate catches on opposite edges of the track without interferingone with the other.
In Fig. 6 is shown the plate P, which is secured to the under side of the track. 0n the opposite diagonal corners of this plate are formed the two catches, O, which engage the upper ends of the levers M and hold the carriage in position upon the track. By means of this plate the two catches O are held in their proper relative positions without danger of displacement, and each catch being in line with its appropriate lever only it will not interfere with the proper working of the opposite lever. The upper ends of the levers M being bent outward laterally from the center of the carriage will extend beyond the parts of the carriage-frame just under the track which are usually contracted inwardly, so I form recesses in this part of the carriageframe, as shown in Fig. 5, so that the levers may have free vertical play. The under part of the levers M, against which the trip-pulley K strikes, is preferably made rounding, and the pulley K comes in contact with it, as shown in my Patent No. 290,591, December 18, 1883. This part of the levers is also extended so as to cover and protect the upper part of the opposite lever, as shown in Fig. 8.
\Vhen elevating very large loads, or when a small draft-animal is used, the power of the draftanimal over the load may be increased .by the draft-equalizing lever WV. One end of bent or curved downward in its center, as
shown, so as not to injure the pulley I by coming in contact with it.
I have shown two different methods, substantially the same in principle, and varied only to suit different plans of buildings, whereby the movement of the draft-animal in one direction will elevate the load and draw the carriage along the track, and the movement of the draft-animal in the opposite direction will return the carrier to the starting-point. Fig. 1 shows the method employed when the hay is elevated in the center of the barn and carried to either side, and Fig. 2 when the hay is elevated at either end and carried to the opposite end. As the method shown in Fig. 2 is the most preferable, it will be first described. The hoistingrope J, after passing through the carrier, is conducted along the line of the track to a guiding-pulley, Q, at the end of the track, and thence down to the pulley Ron the ground, and thence to the single'tree T, to which the horse is attached. The return-rope a is also attached to the carrier and passes from it in the opposite direction to the pulley Q at the opposite end of the track, and thence down to the pulley R on the ground, and thence to the single-tree T. As the pulleys R R are located adjacent to opposite ends of the track, and will necessarily be some distance apart, it will be readily seen that all that is necessary to operate the carrier is for the horse to travel from one pulley to the other, and the load will be elevated and the carrier drawn in opposite directions on the track, care being taken to provide suflicient slack in the ropes to permit the hoisting-rope to descend through the carrier to the load below. Even if the pulleys R B should not be located a sufficient distance apart to allow the horse to travel be tween, the horse can travel past the pulley B, through which the return-rope a passes, until the slack in the ropes is exhausted; but when the ground-pulleys R R are located too closely together to allow sufficient room for the travel of the horse, as is the case in Fig. '1, where the rope is conducted from one or both ends through an opening in the center of the building, then the additional pulley, S, is used and the return-rope a is passed through it before being connected to the single-tree. In this case the horse will not travel back and forth between the pulleys R R, but will travel out IIO and back to a point between them, and the pulley S will be located along this line of travel at a'point that will afford sufficient room for the travel of the horse, the slack of the ropes being utilized to save distance.
Iam aware that hoisting and return ropes have been used in connection with hay-carriers, so that the draft of the horse in opposite directions will draw the carrier in opposite directions on the track; but in these cases the hoisting and return ropes have been conducted to the draft-animal at one end of the barn, thus necessitating more pulleys and rigging, using more rope, and requiring more room for the travel of the horse than is necessary with my invention, besides being more complicated ahd liable to get out of orderand not being adapted to reversible carriers nor to barns in which the ropes have to pass out in the center. In my invention the ropes are conducted from the carrier to the horse as nearly in a direct circuit and to a point as centrally located, and the opposite pulleys are located as nearly parallel to the line of the track and as nearly adjacent to each end thereof as the location of the building will-admit, thus securing the most direct connection possible. The ropes will be conducted to one side or the other of the building, unless there is an opening through the building underneath the track, when they may be arranged to have the horse travel through this opening.
It is not material in what way the returnrope is attached to the carrier. All that is necessary is that the connection be sufficient to draw the carrier back on the track and cause the latching device to operate.
Additional guiding-pulleys may be used when the construction of the building require them to pass the ropes around intervening beams or girders.
In Fig. 1 the return and hoisting ropes are shown connected together at both ends, so as to form a continuous rope passing through the carrier and guiding pulleys. This is the preferable way to arrange the ropes in a carrier of the construction herein shown, having the two rope-sheaves I, except when the equalizinglever W is used. \Vhen a continuous rope is used, it will have to be provided with a stop or knot, V, to rest against the frame of thecarrier and to prevent the rope from running idly through the carrier, and also with means for attaching the single-tree T to the rope at V. The best way is to have the ropes connected together at both ends U U by means of a swiveled connecting-hook, as shown in Fig. 9, to which the single-tree can be readily attached or detached, and which is arranged to act as a stop against the frame of the carrier. \Vhen arranged in this way, all that is necessary to reverse the carrier is to disconnect the single-tree from the connecting-hook at U, and having the carrier latched to the catches 0, so as to free the hoisting-rope, take hold of the return-rope and draw it down until the connecting-hook U has passed through the posite end of the track.
Instead of the two ropes joined together so as to form a continuous rope, as described, one single piece of rope, with suitable stops upon it and having its ends joined together so as to form an endless rope, can be used; but as the return part of the continuous rope does not need to be so heavy as the hoisting part, and as the connecting-hooks are the more con venient for the attachment and detachment of the single-tree, separate ropes of suitable sizes connected together, as hereinbetore described, is the most preferable form of construction. However, I do not limit myselfto any particular form of construction, as the details can be'varied to suit requirement without departing from the spirit of my invention.
The continuous rope, in whatever form it may be constructed, is not essential to the returning features of my invention, but it is a preferable form of it, especially in reversible carriers of the construction herein shown. The swiveled connect-ion of the ropes serve to let out kinks and twists. \Vhen a continuous rope is used, the levers M, clamping the rope against the rope-sheaves I in opposite directions, will prevent it from being drawn through the carrier in either direction while it is traversing the track, thus partly doing away with the necessity for stops on the rope. If the catch 0, which engages the lever that holds the rope on the return side were removed so as to let that lever clamp the rope while the load was being elevated, the stops on the rope might be done away with entirely. In that case other means would have to be employed to stop the carrier in its locked position on the track.
When stops or enlarged connections are used on the rope, the guiding-pulleys, with the exception of the pulley S, should be knotpassing pulleys, so as to allow the stops or enlarged connections to pass freely through them.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. The combination of the plate 0, having the webs D, the carriage-frame B, and the rollers E, journaled between them, substantially as shown and described.
