ELEVATED CARRIER FOR STACKING HAY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 593,643, dated November 16, 1897.
Application filed January 9, 1897. Serial No. 618,637. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWARD DIGNAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Benedict, in the county of Nemaha and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Elevated Carriers for Stacking Hay; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in hay-slings designed to be employed to convey a stack of hay from one point to another, and has for its object the production of an attachment designed for use in connection with au tomatic tripping hay-slin gs, which will enable the operator to trip the carriage and permit the removal of the stack before-the tripping mechanism has been automatically operated.
To the accomplishment of this and other objects, my invention consists in locating what I will call a tripping-lever adjacent to the stop and designed to be manipulated by the operator to trip the latch when the stack has reached the desired height.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a general view of a hay-sling in use provided with my attachment; and Fig. 2 is a view on a somewhat enlarged scale of the carriage,
sling, and my tripping-lever;
Referring to the numerals on the drawings, 1 and 2 indicate suitable supports, between the upper ends of which is stretched a cable 3, designed to support the trolley-wheels 4 of a sling-carriage 5. The carriage 5 may be of any well-known design, consisting, essentially, of a frame 6, suitably supported by the trolley-wheels 4 and carrying a pulley 7 and a latch-lever 8, pivoted as indicated at 9 and provided with a head 10, located below the pulley 7.
over the pulley 7 to a suitable guide-pulley conveniently located. 7
The hay-fork is provided with a trip 18, designed, in a manner well known in the art, to strike the head 10 of the latch-lever when the stack is elevated and thereby release the beak 12 from the stop 11, permitting the movement of the carriage along the cable and removal of the stack. In many instances, however, it is not desirable topermit the stack to be elevated far enough to automatically trip or release the carriage, for the reason 1 that in a severe wind the stack is liable to be torn or separated, to say nothing of the waste of time in raising the stack to a height of twenty .or thirty feet, as is usually necessary before the trip 18 is brought in contact with the head 10. To obviate the necessity for thus elevating the stack, I provide a tripping- 7lever 19, pivoted in a boxing 20, adjustable upon the cable 3 and connected with suitable actuating mechanism extending to within reach of the operator and preferably consisting, as illustrated, of a guide-pulley 21, adj ustable upon the cable and serving to guide a trip-lever, actuating cord 22, connected to the long end of the trip-lever and extending to within a convenient distance from the ground. The trip-lever 19 is preferably provided with an inclined head 23, designed to abut against the beak 12 of the latch-lever. It is obvious that when the stack has been elevated a sufficient, distance and before the latch-lever has been automatically operated the operator may cause the carriage to be released from the stop 11 by pulling upon the cord 22, thereby depressing the head of the tripping-lever 19 and disengaging the beak of the latch-lever from the stop, thus permitting the removal of the stack without elevating it a sufficient distance to cause waste of either time or material.
I do not desire to limit myself to the details of construction herein shown and described, but reserve to myself the right to change, modify, or vary them at will within the scope of my invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is
able guide-pulley, and a flexible piece secured to the trip-lever and passing around the guidepulley, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDWARD DIGNAN.
