UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WHITFIELD I'I. PIERSON, OF DUNCAN, ILLINOIS.
BARREL-ELEVATO R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 431,006, dated June 24, 1890.
Application filed January 22, 1890. Serial No. 337,774. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WHITFIELD I-I. PIER- SON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Duncan, in the county of Stark and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrel-Elevators; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention,
which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in barrel-elevators, by means of which an elevator is provided which is simple in construction, durable,and cheap in first cost.
That my invention may be more fully understood reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in Which Figure 1 is aplain side view of my improved barrel-elevator. Fig. 2 is a plain top view of my improved barrel-elevator. Fig. 3 is a detail view.
The object of my invention is the construction of a device for elevating or lowering barrels, and by means of which barrels are raised or lowered from the floor to the top of the frame of the elevator and from thence to racks, wagons, or other elevated places. It may also be used for elevating from cellars, from one story of a building to another, up a pair of stairs, or, in fact, from almost any position, and by the exertion of very little power. I
My elevator consists, essentially, of the main frame properly braced and the forward uprights or legs slanted slightly forward, and the lateral supports or rests at such an angle that they provide an inclined plane on which the barrel travels, together with ropes and suitable roller on which the ropes are wound when the barrel is being elevated, which forms a sort of Windlass and is provided with suitable cranks at one end or either side of the roller; also a small roller in the upper part of the frame, purposed to assist in turning the barrel on the top of the frame, and other rollers at other points in the frame construction,which, together with the grooved strips, extension-arms, 850., will be noted in full in the detail description which follows.
I I refer to the lateral legs or support-s having in their lower ends grooves t t, which supports constitute the inclined plane referred to above.
, b b are the forward legs.
0 0 refer to the top of the frame construction.
The braces a a, together with the cross ties or braces, constitute the general construction of the frame-work of my elevator.
P P are grooved strips bolted onto the top of the frame and parallel with the top pieces 0 O, which said grooved strips are purposedto carry ropes, so that they will not con tact with the rolling barrel.
K, L, and X are rollers which are used to facilitate the operation of my device.
P" is the roller of awindlass, which is carried or journaled at its ends in the forward extremities of the frame-pieces O O.
E is a crank-arm used to operate the wind lass.
D is a ratchet-wheel, and F a pawl to engage said ratchet-Wheel.
J J refer to extension-arms M and N refer to ropes, which are fastened one end to the roller P and the other end to the forward cross-tie, (designated by the letter Q,) said ropes being carried backward and around the barrel A.
It refers to the depression or groove in the strip P. K
In operation the barrel is raised or lowered by means of ropes acting in connection with a Windlass. WVhen it is desired to raise a barrel from a floor on which the elevator is standing, the barrel is placed in a position at the foot of the inclined plane formed by the lateral supports or legs I I, and the ropes ill and N are looped around the ends of the barrel in the manner shown in the figures. Then by operating the crank-arm E the barrel is rolled up the incline until it reaches the upper surface of the frame construction, and is there received in corresponding depressions Z in the top pieces 0 O and is thrown immediately against the roller X. If it is desired to shift the barrel in the position above designated, in order to accommodate itself to the insertion of a faucet, it is accomplished by merely pressing the barrel forward upon the roller X and slightly raising, and it is easily shifted in this way; but if it is desired to carry the barrel forward and off the frame and upon racks or in wagons, this is accomplished by the removal of the roller X and adjusting the extension-arms J J upon the racks or wagon and rolling the barrel forward from off the frame. It will be seen that the machinery may be operated from either side by the changing of the crankarm from one side to the other, or two crankarms may be used at the same time. It will further be seen that the object of the ratchetwheel and pawl (shown byD and F) is to stay the barrel in any position when the power ceases. The rollers K and L are merely used to form a bearing for the ropes M and N and,
to facilitate the operation; and the object of the grooved strips P P is to provide depressions in which are carried the ropes M and N, which pass under the barrel, and by this provision the barrel can at no time contact with the ropes so as to cut or injure them. When it is desired to raise a barrel from a lower floor or up an incline below the frame of the elevator, it is accomplished by letting the ropes down to the barrel and lapping them around its ends in the manner shown in the drawings and merely operating the crank as described in former operation, and the barrel readily adjusts itself in the ropes by the parts I I, b b, and O O, with suitable braces and cross-pieces, the frame having the incline-at its lateral extremity, the grooves 25 t, the rollers K, L, and X, the wind lass formed by the roller P and the crankarm E, with the ratchet-wheel D and the pawl F, the ropes M andN, with one end attached to the Windlass and the other to the forward cross-brace Q, and the grooved strips P P, with the extension-arms J J, all in combination, substantially as described and set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
