JOHN WVESLEY SANDY, OF OREAL SPRINGS, ILLINOIS.

WAGON-BODY HOIST.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 471,900, dated March 29, 1892.

Application filed February 5, 1892.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN WESLEY SANDY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Oreal Springs,in thecou nty of Williamson and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Hoisting or-Removing Wagon-Bodies; 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specificaiion.

My invention relates to improvements in 'devices for hoisting or removing wagon-bodies from wagon-beds, the object being to provide a simple, economical, and efficient construction of the same.

The'invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view showing my improved device in place in a wagon-shed ready for use. Fig. 2 is a view, on an enlarged scale, of the Windlass and its frame.

In the said drawings, the reference-numeral 1 designates the Windlass -frame consisting of two side bars connected together at ornear their centers by a cross-bar 2. In the upper ends of the side bars is journaled a Windlass 4, having secured thereto at each end disks 5, one of which is provided with a series of peripheral ratchet-teeth 6, with which engage a pawl 7, pivoted to said frame, whereby backward movement of the Windlass is prevented. The Windlass is also provided with a pin S,to which the hoisting-rope is connected, as hereinafter described, and with a crank or handle 9. The lower ends of the side bars of the frame are provided with apertures 10, through which passes a removable and adjustable rod 12, by which the frame is secured .to an upright or vertical joist of a barn or wagon-shed, as will hereinafter appear.

Connected with the ceiling joist or roof of the shed is a double sheave 13, and at a short distance therefrom is a single sheave 14:-

Serial No. 420,424. (No model.)

The numeral 15 denotes the hoisting rope or cord.

The operation is as follows: The sheaves are secured to the roof at a distance apart corresponding with the wagon-body. The windlass-frame is then connected with one of the uprights, the lower ends of the side bars embracing two of the sides thereof, as seen in Fig. 1, with the edges of the cross-piece lying or hearing against one of the other sides. The

rod 12 is thenpassed through the apertures 10, hearing against the side opposite to that with which the cross-piece engages. One end of the hoisting-rope is now secured to the wagon-body and passed up over the sheave 14, from whence it passes to the upper sheave 7o 13, and from thence downward to the windlass, where it is wound around the pin 8, and

from thence carried up around to the lower sheave 13 to the wagon-body, with which itis secured. By now turning the Windlass by means of the crank the wagon-body will be lifted or hoisted, the ratchet-teeth and pawl preventing any backward movement of the Windlass.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is In a wagon-body-hoisting device, the combination of the side bars, each provided with a series of apertures,.the intermediate crossbar, the Windlass having a pin, and end disks,

gle sheaves adapted to be connected with a roof or other support, and the hoisting rope or cord, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN WESLEY SANDY.
