FIELDON B. CUNNINGHAM, OF BURLINGTON, .KANSAS, ASSIGNOR OFJONE- HALF TO B. C. HAYS, OF SAME PLACE.
END-GATE.
SPECIFICATION iorming part of Letters Patent No. 361,749, dated April 26, 1887.
Application filed February 3, 1887. Serial No. 226,392. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FIELDON B. CUNNING- HAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Burlington, in the county of Coffey and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and use- -ful Improvements in End-Gates for Wagons; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to [O which it appertains to make and use the same,
reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention has for its object to provide a novel construction in endgates for wagons, which can be readily operated in any elevation desired by means of a spring-lock secured to one side of the Wagon-body, which comes in QC contact with a segmental rack-bar secured upon the outer side of one of the segments of the gate; and it consists in means for supporting the same when open, and other details in the construction, as will be fully hereinafter described. I
In the accompanying drawings, in which corresponding parts are designated by similar letters, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of niyinvention as applied to the body of a wagon.
Fig. 2 is aside View of the end-gate detached, representing the segmental rack-bar. Fig.3 is the opposite side of the same, illustrating the segmental guide and supporting rod. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the same attached to the body of a wagon. Fig. 5 is a perspective view'of the spring-lock detached, and Fig. 6 represents a detail view in section.
Referring to the drawings, 13 represents the end-gate of the wagon-body A, and having se- 0 cured thereto two segments or sides, I) b, for preventing the grain or other substance from scattering or falling on the ground when the gate is lowered.
To the outer side of one of the segments or side-boards is secured a rack-bar, O, segmental in shape, which receives the lug or catch (1 of the spring-lock D. This spring-lock is composed of a fiat piece of spring metal, having one or more holes at one end for the purpose of securing it in a recess or mortise, thereby cured to the same in any manner desired. To
the side of the body is secured a hook, F, which receives the rod E, for the purpose of guiding and supporting the end-gate.
It will be observed that this feature serves, also, for preventing the sides of the wagon from'spreading, and especially for supporting the gate when completely open.
I have varied my invention,also,in the construction of the hinge,which in this case serves to give a tight joint, whatever elevation the gate may undergo, which feature renders it very essential where fine grain is loaded and unloaded. The hinge consists of piece G, se- 7 cured to the lower end of the gate, terminating at its ends in a rounded form, 9 g, for receiving half-circular holes madein the wagonbody, and is held in position by the additional board II, secured to the under side of th wagon-body.
To the side of the bodyA are secured the upright bars I, which traverse the same from top to bottom, terminating at their lower ends into bolts i,extending through and supporting the board H by the nut i, which is screwed upon it. To the bar I is also rigidly secured a branch piece, J, passing under the rounded endsgg of the board H, and extending upward and secured to the body of the wagon.
In addition, I use an ordinary rod, which passes through holes in each side of the body, and also through cleats secured to the endgate, for securely holding the same when in a closed position.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1. In an end-gate, the combination of the segments 1) b, the segmental rack-bar O, and
the spring-lock D, provided with the lug d, for receiving the teeth of the said rack-bar,as and for the purpose described.
2. In an end'gate, the combination of the body A, having secured thereto the spring- ]ock D, the segmental sides I) b, and the hook F, for receiving the rod E, as and for the purpose described.
3. In an end-gate, the combination of the body A, the spring-lock D, the segments b b, the rack-bar G, and the hook F, for receiving the segmental rod E,secured within the groove 0, as and for the purpose described.
4. In an end-gate, the combination of the body A, provided with the spring-lock D, the segments 1) b, the rack-bar O, and the board H, secured to the said body, as and for the purpose described. 7
5. In an'endgate, the combination of the segments 1) b, the raekbar C, the spring-lock D, the piece G, having rounded ends 9 g, and r the additional piece or board H, as and'for the purpose described.
6. In an end-gate for-wagons, the combination of the segments 1) b, the spring-lock D, provided with the lug'd, the rack-bar G, the piece G, terminating inrounded ends 9 g, the additional piece or board H, and the bars I, provided with branch pieces J, as herein shown and described.
7. In an end-gate, the combination of the body A, provided with the spring-lock D,the segments 1) b, the rack-bar O, the rod E, traversing the groove e, the hook F, and the piece G, terminating in rounded ends 9 g, as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
