UNITED STATES PATENT rrrcEo JAMES C. STEELE, OF STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.
BRlCK-TRUCK;
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 380,603, dated April 3, 1888.
(No model.)
To aZZ 1071,0712, it may concern:
.Be it known that I,fJAMEs O. STEELE, of Statesville, in the county of Iredell and State of North Carolina, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Brick-Trucks, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a hand-truck especially adapted for transporting short brick hacks from one place to another either in the hack or on pallets without rehandling or rehacking them, and which will be of simple construction, strong, light, and easily handled.
The improvement consists in certain constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter particularly described, and designated in the claims, with referenceto theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a perspective of my improved truck; Fig. 2, asectional elevation of the same; and Fig. 3 is a plan view, the handles being shown in section.
This truck is constructed of handles A, having bearingblocks a at their lower ends and connected to each other by a middle cross-bar, a, and end cross-bar, a". The lower ends of the handles A at the bearing-blocks a are connected to the ends of a crank-axle, B, inside the wheels 0 by U-shaped staples D, which pass around the axles and up through the handles A upon. opposite sides of the bearingblocks a, and are fastened to said handles by nuts d, fitted upon the threaded ends of the U- shaped staples. The axle B is bent at right angles justinside of the bearing-blocks a, and
extends backwardly at b b inside of and parallel with the handles, and is again bent at right angles upon each side to provide a section, b parallel with theaxle to be supported in rear thereof asuit-able distancc,as will hereinafter appear.
A forked or bailshaped bar, constituting a rest, E, upon which the pallet or hack-board may be supported, is bout with parallel side sections, a, an angular rear end section, e, having a looped portion,e", and folded ends 6, which are carried back alongside of the side sections, e, a short distance, and then turned outwardly to pass through the lower ends of links F, the upper ends of which are pivotally connected with the ends of the handles A be low the axle.
A cord, G, is attached to the cross-piece a at 9, passes thence through a pulley, 9 secured to the loop 6 at the rear end of the rest E, then through the pulley 51', secured to the cross-piece a, whence it is returned through the pulley g and back through the pulley g to the cross-piece ahwithiu reach of the operator. The rear ends of the side sections, 6, of the rest E are connected by short links c with the outer ends of the section b of the axle. The rest E may by means of its suspensionlinks and the ropeand tackle be properly balanced and the front side of the hack-board raised toa level,while the handles of the truck are raised or lowered when the rest is run back under the hack-board to lift it upon the truck. Thehangers,handles,andcrank-axlebeingthus connected, the weight may be lifted and nicely balanced upon the truck-wheels with but little exertion, and ashort hack of bricks may thus be easily placed upon the truck and carried from the machine to the yard or shed. The brick-hack may then be deposited upon the ground or wherever required by raising the handles to the position shown in Fig. 2 and lowering the rest by means of the cord and links.
The truck may be easily handled, and may be wheeled close up to the pile of brick or other object to be loaded thereon, as the ends of the handles are supported in bearings so near the ends of the wheels that the rest will be balanced thereon about midway of its length. The truckwheels, being of small diameter, are more easily managed than wheels of a large diameter, and are less in the way when the truck is backed up to the hack-board to remove the loaded one up and replace. the empty one without stopping the hackers attheir work by having the wheels come in their way. The suspension and adjustment of the rest upon the axle and upon the handles will permit the load to be carried up a steeper grade than could be done with ordinary trucks.
The trucks may be easily set aside and packed away in a compact space when not in use.
It is evident that the rest may be made of a solid plate and suspendedin the manner above described from the truck-handle and axle,and
may be used for many purposes with good results.
I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a truck, the combinatiomwith the band1es,of the crankaxle and a rest suspended by links from the ends of the handle and from the crank axle, substantially as described.
2. In atruck, the combinatiomwith the bandles,of the crank-axle and wheels, a rest suspended therefrom by links, and a connection between the rear end of the rest and the handles, substantially as described.
3. In a truck, the combination,with the handles supported. .upon an axle and wheels, of a rest suspended therefrom, and an adjustable connection between the rear end of the rest and the handles, substantially as described.
4. In atruck, the combination,with the handles A, of the crank-axle B, rest E, formed of a bail-shaped metal bar suspended therefrom by links F and e, and cord G, connecting the rear end thereof with the handles, substantially as described.
JAMES C. STEELE.
