Ll llVIS ll. MYERS AND SAMUEL II. ARMSTRONG, OF CANTON, ILLINOIS.
ANllVlAL-CHUTE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 449,228, dated March 31, 1891.
Application filed March 8, 1890. Serial No. 343,211. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
= Be it known thatwe, LEWIS H. MYERS and SAMUEL H. ARMSTRONG, citizens of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Fulton and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Animal-Chute, of which the following is a specification.
The object of our invention is to provide a portable animal chute or gangway for convenience in conducting animals into or from vehicles and other structures or places. It is primarily intended for loading stock in cars, wagons, and the like, but is capable of other uses.
The invention consists in the construction hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the chute as arranged for use in loading or unloading, and Fig. 2 is a similar view of the chute when its parts are folded for transportation or storage.
A denotes a platform provided with lugs or cleats a, of usual construction.
13 are side frames hinged to the platform. D indicates hinges for this purpose and may be of any suitable form. In the present instance interlocking eyebolts are shown.
C are standards or posts pivoted on each Side to the platform. F denotes one of two pivots for this purpose. The feet of the posts 0 are tied by a bar I, bolted to them, as indicated at K.
Each post 0 is provided with a button E, adapted to engage the side frames when raised to working position, as indicated in Fig. 1.v
Two uprights II on each side frame are by preference so disposed as to receive between them a post C when the latter has been raised to an operative position and is bolted tightly to said frame.
The parts are connected to the floor so that they can be moved out and into the space between the uprights H. For this purpose the bolts F may be made longenough to permit the operation; and they can, if desired, be provided each with a nut on its outer end,:which can be loosened for the purpose.
Instead of buttons E any equivalent fastening device can be used.
The chute can be used to load and unload stock, as will be sufficiently obvious from the foregoing description. It can be used as a bridge by loosening bolts F and folding the legs 0 to a position parallel with the plane of the platform. lVhen not in use, the sides can be folded inwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, and the parts of the chute are by this means oompactly disposed for storage or transportation.
Having thus described our invention, what we desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. The animal chute or gangway having its sides hinged to its floor, and means for looking the same in an upright position with relation to said tloor, consisting of supporting-legs pivotally secured to the floor and a button on each of the legs adapted to engage a side, substantially as set forth.
2. The animal chute or gangway having its sides hinged to itsiioor, and means for lock ing the same in an upright position with relation to said floor, consisting of supporting-legs pivot-ally secured to the floor and a button on each of the legs adapted to engage a side, said side having uprights adapted to receive a leg between them, substantially as set forth.
3. The animal-chute having inwardly-folding hinged sides and having legs provided with pivots which have their axes transverse to the side pieces of the floor and in the same plane therewith, substantially as setforth, whereby the sides can be folded down upon the floor and the legs placed parallel with the same.
