W. s. EEEsE. DIPPING LADLE.
(No Model) UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
VVILLIAIWI S. REESE, OF NATRONA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE PENNSYLVANIA SALT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF PHILADEL- PHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
DlPPlNG-LADLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 585,632, dated June 29, 1897.
Applic i n l September 25, 1896. Serial No. 606,964. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, I/VILLIAM S. REESE, of Natrona, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dipping-Ladles, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- I Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improve dipping-ladle shown in position for dipping metal from a furnace. Fig. 2 is a partial side elevation of the ladle, partly broken away and on a larger scale; and Fig. 3 is. a detail view of the roller-bearing for the ladle.
My invention relates to the ladling or dipping of metals, such as copper, from a furnace or reservoir from which the metal is taken to be poured into molds or receptacles; and it consists in an improved construction of the dipping-ladle and its support wherebya large amount of metal may be easily and quickly handled and a large mold filled at one dipping.
In the drawings, in which similar numerals indicate corresponding parts, 2 represents a melting furnace having a side opening 3, which may be closed by a sliding door 4.. The dipping-ladle 5 is provided with a long handle 6, having a forked end portion 7, by which the operator may easily turn and swing the ladle. This ladle is supported from an overhead trolley 8, movable on a track 9, by a chain 10, depending from the trolley and secured at its lower end to one member of asliding clutch which consists of two parallel bars 11 and 12, the bar 11 sliding through an upper guide 13 on the bar 12 and having a swinging loop 14, which engages suitable ratchet-teeth upon the bar 12 and secures the two together in their adjusted position. To the bar 12 is attached a swivel 15, the lower member of which is provided with a ring 16, which surrounds the handle of the ladle and between which and a sleeve 17, surrounding the handle,are placed a series of rollers 18, these rollers, together with the ring, being held in proper position by two collars 19 19, secured to the sleeve 17. The sleeve17 is adjustable along the handle and is secured thereto in any adjusted position by a set-screw 20, bearing on the handle.
The operation of the device is apparent. The ladle, being moved along with its trolley riding on the overhead track and being inserted into the furnace, is tipped and rotated so as 5 5 to dip up a ladleful of metal. It then, being drawn out, is moved along the track to a point adjacent to molds or receptacles, which are then poured, the weight of the ladle and contained metal being carried by the trolley.
The advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, since with this device a large amount of metal may be dipped up at once and moved to a point adjacent to the molds with comparatively no exertion on the part of the operator, who is thus enabled to perform the work of several hand-laborers and in much shorter time.
The rollers may of course be replaced by a series of balls, and many other minor changes may be made without departing from my invention, since I claim 1. The combination with an overhead track,
of a trolley movable thereon, a hanger depending from the trolley and having an adjustable clutch consisting of two bars or parts, one of which is located at one side of and longitudinally adjustable along the other part, means for locking the sliding bar in any adjusted position, and a dipping-ladle attached thereto.
2. The combination of an overhead track, a trolley movable thereon, a hanger depending from the trolley and having an adjustable clutch comprising two bars, one slidable relatively to the other, means for looking the sliding bar in any adjusted position, a ring having a swivel connection with the slidable bar, and a dipping-ladle supported by a rollerbearing within the ring; substantially as described. I
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
WILLIAM S. REESE. \Vitnesses: E. E. ARMSTRONG, A. L. HERKT.
