HAY-CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,075,6lated November 2,1886.

Application filed February 6, 1886. Serial No. 191,094. (No model.) i

To all whom) it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN WOODWARD, of Stryker, county of Williams, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Transferring Mechanism for Hay-Carrier Guide-Pulleys, of which the following is a full,

clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming, a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figurel is a side elevation of my improved transferring mechanism. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of 'a part of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional end elevation of the same, taken through the line a m, Fig. 2.

The object of this invention is to provide a mechanism for transferring hay-carrier guidepulleys from one end of a, barn to the other, and which shall be so constructed that the transferring can be done easily, quickly, and without any climbing.

The invention consists of the construction and combination of the various parts of the transferring mechanism, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A--are two plates which are designed to be secured to the opposite ends of a barn, and upon which are formed studs B. The outer ends of the studs B are connected by'a wire, 0, to form a way for the passage of the sleeves, hereinafter described, from one stud to the other..

Upon one of the studs B is placed a sleeve,

D, the ends of which are beveled upon their inner sides, and to the middle part of which are attached downwardly-proj ecting lugs E, to

receive the guide-pulley, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Upon the sleeve D is placed a sleeve, F, which is made a little shorter than the sleeve D, and is slotted for the passage of the lugs E, the said slot being made three-quarters of an inch (more or less) longer than the width of the said lugs E, to allow the said sleeve F to have a short longitudinal movement upon the interior sleeve, D. The ends of the exterior sleeve, F, are beveled, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and to the said ends are attached the ends of ropes G, which pass "around pulleys H, pivoted to lugs I, formed. upon the plates A below the studs B.

Upon the plates A, above the studs B, are formed lugsJ, to which are pivoted hooks K, to engage with the outer ends of the interior sleeve, D, and hold it in place upon the studs B when theguide-pulley is being used. The outer ends of the hooks Kare beveled, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so that the said hooks will be raised by the beveled ends of the exterior sleeve, F, when the sleeves D Fare drawn upon-the studs B.

Upon theupper corners of the rear ends of the hooks K are formed projections L, which, when the said hooks are raised, come in contact with the ends of the plates A and prevent the said hooks from being swung back too far.

Upon the lower corners of the rear ends of the hooks K are formed prongs M, for the bevand look thesaid sleeves in place upon the studs B.

. Upon the lower side of the forward parts of the hooks K are formed inclines N, for the beveled ends of the sleeve F to engage with, when the said sleeve is drawn outward, to raise the said hooks from'the ends of the interior sleeve, D, to allow the said sleeve to be drawn off the studs B.

With this construction, when the guide-pulleyis to be transferred from one end of the barn to the other, the rope G is pulled upon, the first effect of which is to draw the exterior sleeve, F, forward upon the sleeve D and raise the hook K, and the two sleeves then move together along the wire 0 to the other stud B, when they are caught and held by the hook K until again released by drawing upon the other rope G. The ropes G are led into such positions that they can be conveniently reached and operated from the floor or other desired position.

Having thus fully described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the horizontal stud,

sleeve, whereby in the forward movement of the outer sleeve the hook will be disengaged from the inner sleeve, substantially as set forth. 2. A transferring mechanism for hay-carrier 5 guide pulleys, constructed substantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of the plates A, provided with studs B, connected by a wire, 0, the interior sleeve, D, having its ends beveled upon the inner side and provided to with lugs E to carry the guide-pulleys, the exterior sleeve, F, having its ends beveled upon the outer side and having a slot for the passage of the lugs E, the ropes G, attached to the exterior sleeve, F, and their pulleys H, and 15 the hooks K, having projections L and prongs M upon their rear end and inclines N upon their lower sides, whereby the guide-pulley can be readily moved from one end of the barn to the other, as set forth.

2o 3. The combination, with the stud B and hook K, provided with the prong M and incline N, of the interior sleeve, D, provided with lugs E, and the apertured sleeve F, having its ends beveled, substantially as shown and described, whereby the said hook will be 25 thrown into engagement with and disengaged from the interior sleeve.

4. A transferring mechanism for hay-(arriers, consisting of the plate A, carrying stud B, fitted to receive a connecting-wire, and provided with a pivoted hook, K, and a pulley, H, the sleeve D, provided with lugs E, and the apertured sleeve 13, mounted on sleeve D, having its ends beveled and fitted for attachment of an operating-rope, all constructed and com- 3 5 bined substantially as shown and described.

EDWIN WOODVARD.
