JOIINsON I-I. NEEDLEs, OE ATLANTIC, IOWA.
SHOVELlNG-BOARD FOR WAGONS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 403,953, dated May 28, 1889. Application filed January 18, 1889. 'Serial No. 296,776. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHNSON H. NEEDLES, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Atlantic, in the county of Cass and State of Iowa, have invented a new and uscful ShOveling-Board or End-Gate for Wagons, of which the following is a specification.
The objects of Iny improvements are to provide a cheap, convenient, and durable shoveling-board. I attain these objects by the invention illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l is a perspective viewof the shoveling-board detached from the Wagon-box. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the shoveling-board attached to the Wagon-box, showing the shoveling-board closed. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the shoveling-board attached to the Wagon-box, showing the board let down or opened. Fig.4 is a detailed perspective view of the catch.
Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The shOveling-board A is composed of the bottom z and the sides k la. The sides are firmly secured to the bottom t'. The strapbolts w w are secured to the sides of the shoveling-board, and their lower ends extend through the bottom c'. Their upper ends project beyond the sides of the shoveling-board and are bent, forming hooks. The lugs or staples b are firmly secured, one to each side The supports d rl are pivoted at their lower ends to the sides of the shoveling-board and at their upper ends to the sides of the wagon-box. The blockso are firmly secured to the sides of the Wagon-box, there being two blocks, one upon each side of the Wagon-box. The catch e is bolted or firmly secured to the under side of the block o., there being two catches, one secured to each block. The cross-bars t 25 t are secured to the bottom c' of the shoveling-board.
The supports C C are each composed of the iron straps or bars m and n. The straps m and n are pivoted together near their ends, forming a joint. The straps m m of the supports C C are pivoted to the sides of the shoveling-board, and the straps n n are pivoted to the blocks o. The strap m is made longer than the strap n, and the straps mand n are made of suitable length, so that when the supports C C are folded and held by the catch e, as shown in Fig. 2, the shovelingboard will be held in a proper position by the folded supports C C to close the rear end of the Wagon-box.
When the shoveling -board is closed, as shown in Fig. 2, the hooked ends of the strapbolts w w engage with the lugs b, thus more securely closing the end of the Wagon-box.
Vhen the shoveling-board is open or let down, as shown in Fig. 8, it is supported by the supports d d and the supports C C.
The shoveling board can be closed and locked by folding the jointed supports C C and engaging them with catches e, as shown in Fig. 2.
The shoveling-board can be readily opened or let down by lifting the supports C C out of the catches e and unfolding them.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The shoveling-board A, the jointed supports C, pivoted at one end to the outside of the sides of the shoveling-board and at the other end to the block a, the support d, pivotally connected to the shoveling-board and Wagon-box, the Wagonbox, and the block a, firmly secured to the wagon-box and being provided with the catch e, all combined and arranged substantially as described.
2. The shoveling-board having pivoted to it the supports C and d, and having secured to it the hooked strap-bolt w, in combination With the Wagon-box having secured to it the lug b, and block a, provided with the catch e, substantially as set forth.
JOHNSON H. NEEDLES.
