TRUNK-SECURING GUARD ATTACHMENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,805, dated March 19, 1889.
Application filed November 14, 1888. Serial No. 290,830- (No model.)
1'0 a/ZZ whom it 71710. concern.-
Be itknown that l, JOSEPH \VARE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved 'lrunk-Securing Guard Attachment, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention has for its object to provide an apparatus to be attached to a trunk, which will secure the trunk when closed and enable it to withstand severe handling and rough usage.
The invention consists in an apparatus of the above character, constructed and arranged as hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention as it appears in use, showing a trunk in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a detail view of a por tion of the invention with parts broken away, showing the means for tightening and securing it on a trunk. Fig. 3 is a detail thereof, showing ratchet, pulley, and portion of pawl. broken away. Fig. eis aperspective view of the pawl detached, and Fig. 5 is a detail in plan view of a portion of a trunk and the securing apparatus. Fi (3 is a detail view showing one of a pair of blocks and pulleys and aportion of their connecting-rope.
In the construction of this invention sets of battens 12 3, of wood or other suitable material, are employed, having their inn er surface sheathed with thin. metallic strips 2, preferably of steel and riveted to the battens. The sheathed battens 2 are of a length to extend across beneath the bottom of a trunk, and the sheathed battens 1 and 3 are of a length to extend vertically over the front and back of atrunk. Thelowcr ends of the sheathed battens 1 and 3 are connected to the ends of the sheathed battens 2 by means of hinges 4, whereby the battens 1 2 3 may be folded together when not required for use. The sheathed battens 1 and are pivoted by pivot-pins 1 at their lower ends to their hinges 4. By this means the battens 3 may be metallic brackets 5, to which are hinged wire loops 6, the latter being connected by tackles constructed as follows: Metallic plates or blocks 7, containing at their inner end horizontal pulleys 8 and 9, are secured to the end of straps 7, passing over pulleys S on loops of battens 1, and extending to metallic blocks 10, containing horizontal pulleys 11 and 12, and having hooks which engage loops 6 on battens 3. The pulleys 9 are formed with a ratchet, 13, with which a spring-actuated pawl, 14, engages. The outer end of the pawl 14 projects beyond the block 7 thereby permitting it to be pushed out of engagement with the ratchet 13. The point 15 of the pawl is formed with a projection, 16, which bears against the cord 17, and prevents the point of the pawl from slipping past the teeth of ratchet 13. To the block 7 is secured a rope, 17, which extends from block 7 to and over the pulley 11, to and over the pulley 8, to and over the pulley 12, to and over pulley 9, and from thence to and over a hook, 18, on the loop 6 of batten 3, and terminates in a handloop, 1!). To cause the pull on the-rope 17 to operate the pulley 9 and ratchet 13, the pulley 12 is formed with a V-shaped, roughened, or other surface on its periphery, which will cause the rope to take hold of and operate the pulley. The bottom battens, 2, are connected by a flat metallic bar, 19, formed in two parts, 20, pivoted thereto and together at their inner ends, as at 21, and of a length to extend to the ends of a trunk, where they are provided with hinged vertical pieces 22, having slots 23, with circular openings 2% in their ends, through which may be passed the knots of ropes 26, and the knots 25 drawn up to the upper end of slots 23. The ropes 26 are of a length to extend up over the end of a trunk and along the top thereof, to and around pulleys 27 in blocks 28, located beneath and attached to the straps 7. The blocks 28 are connected by a rope or strap, 29. The ropes 26 extend from the pulleys 2'7, beneath straps 7 and blocks 7, toward their outer end, and up over their top, where they are suitably secured to the blocks 7. By means of this construction and arrangement of blocks, tackles, and tightening-ropes, the battens may be tightly lashed to a trunk, the parts being drawn taut by pulling on the hand-loops 1.). Upon the inner side of the battens 1. and 3, adjacent to their top and bottom, are located rubber blocks 30, which bear against the trunk and ease the shock of a fall or blow. Upon the rope 17 being drawn taut its end may be secured by a'turn or two about the hook 18. It will be observed that the sets of battens 1 2 3 serve as guards to protect the trunk against falls and blows. If desired, the battens 2 may be permanently fastened to the bottom of a trunk.
By means of this invention a lashing and guards for securing trunks are provided,which -can be easily, quickly, and securely fastened on a trunk and readily unfastened, and which will prevent trunks and their locks and hinges from being broken, as the force of blows will be received by the battens and their rubber blocks on the body of the trunk.
If desired, the battens may be sheathed on the outside as well as inside. The hooks 18 may be of any shape desired, whether opened or closed, so that the end of the cord 1'7 may be secured therein and held thereby in addition to ratchet 13 and pawl 14.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
-1. A trunk-securing guard attachment consisting of battens connected together to eX- ,tendover a trunk, and blocks and tackles connecting two of the battens together for tightening and securing the battens to the trunk, substantially as shown and described.
2. A trunk-securing guard attachment consisting of battens connected together to extend over a trunk, with elastic cushions upon their inner surface to bear against the trunk, and blocks and tackles connecting two of the battens together for tightening and securing the battens to the trunk, substantially as shown and described.
3. A trunk-securing guard attachment con sisting of folding battens hinged together to extend over a trunk, a bar connecting the battens together, and blocks and tackles c011- necting two of the battens together for securing and tightening the battens and their connecting-bar on a trunk, substantially as specified.
at. In a trunk-securing guard attachment, the combination, with battens 1 and 3, hinged to batten 2, and having loops 6 at their upper end, of a tackle consisting of a block, 10,with horizontal pulleys 11 and 12, a block, 7, with horizontal pulleys S and 9, and a pawl, 14, engaging a ratchet on pulley 9, the blocks '7 and 10 being connected by a strap, '7, extending over one of the loops (3, and the bracket 10 having a hook, 10, engaging the other loop 6, with a rope, 17, connected to block 7, and passing over pulleys l1, 8, 12, and 9, substantially as described.
5. In a trunlcsecuring guard attachment, battens connected together with elastic cushions on their inner surface, and means for securing the battens to a trunk, substantially as shown and described.
6. In a-trunk-securing guard attachment, a block and tackle consisting of a pair of blocks having pulleys, and a tackle connecting the blocks and passing over the pulleys, one of the pulleys having a ratchet engaging a pawl on the block, the pawl having a projection which bears against the tackle and prevents the point of the pawl from slipping past the teeth of the ratchet, substantiallyas described.
