Application filed September 13, 1898. Serial No. 690,895. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern/.-
Be it known that I, HERBERT A. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mosherville, in the county of Hillsdale and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Combined Stock and Hay Rack, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in combined stock and hay racks.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of hay and stock racks and to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient one adapted to be applied to an ordinary wagon body or bed and capable of being readily arranged to form either a hay or a stock rack.
A further object of the invention is to enable the sides of the rack to be readily removed when desired and to provide a simple interlocking connection which will effectually prevent the sides from becoming accidentally detached from the wagon bed or body when they are arranged to form either a hay or stock rack. 4
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combined hay and stock rack constructed in accordance with this invention, one of the sides being in an inclined position and the other being vertical. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view,the parts being arranged to form a hay-rack. Fig. 3 is asi'milar view, the parts being arranged to form a stock-rack. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective View of one of the brackets. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the hinged arms. Fig. 6 isa similar view of one of the braces. Fig. 7 is a detail perspective view of one of the supplemental front brackets.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlngs.
1 1 designate the sides of a combined hay and stock rack, which is adapted to be applied to an ordinary wagon body or bed 2 and which is capable of being readily arranged to form a hay-rack, as illustrated in Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings, and a stock-rack,
as shown in Fig; 3. Each side consists of par allel longitudinal bars 3and transverse arms or cross-pieces 4, preferably constructed of flanged metal and provided at their inner ends with laterally-projecting pintles 5, which are detachably arranged in eyes 6 of triangular brackets 7, whereby the sides of the hay-rack may be readily removed from the wagon-body when desired. The arms are provided at intervals with perforations to receive fastening devices for securing them to the longitudinal bars 3. The pintles,which are connected with the inner ends of the bars by shanks 8, are
arranged at right angles to the same, the shanks being located adjacent to one of the longitudinal edges of the arms. The outer end of each pintle is provided with a lug or projection 9, adapted to pass through a re cess or notch 10 at one side of the eye 6 when the arm gt is swung inward beyond a perpendicular position. The lug or projection 9 is adapted to engage one side of the bracket when the arm 4 is in its normal position and arranged to form either a hay-rack or a stockrack. The recess or notch 10, which is preferably tapering to. conform to the configuration of the lug or projection 9, is shown arranged atthe inner side of the eye 6, near the top thereof; but it may be arranged at any other desired point, as will be readily understood.
Each side of the wagon body or bed is preferably provided with three triangular brackets, which are mounted upon the projecting ends of bottom cleats 12- and secured to the same and to the outer faces of the body or bed. Each bracket is composed of a vertical inner portion 13, a horizontal bottom portion l i, and an inclined outer portion 15, extending from the outer end of the bottom portion to the upper end of the vertical portion. The vertical portion is provided with a central vertical flange, and the horizontal bottom portion 14 is enlarged or thickened at its inner end at 16 and is provided with a longitudinal rib or flange 17. The inclined outer portion of the bracket is provided at its outer edge with ways consisting of opposite longitudinal flanges 18, extending upward from'thebottom of thebracket and terminating short of the top of thebracket to provide open spaces 19 to permit the passage of a pair of inwardlyextending studs 20 of a hinged brace 2l,which supports the sides of the rack in an inclined position when the parts are arranged to form a hay-rack, as illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Thebrace2l,whichisconstructed of flanged metal, is provided at its upper end with perforated ears 22, which are pivoted at opposite sides of a perforated ear or portion 23 by a pintle 24. The studs 20 extend inward from a pair of flanges 25, located at the lower end of the brace and extending inward therefrom. The inner ends of the studs are spaced apart to provide an opening to receive the body portion of the inclined outer part 15 of the bracket, and when the parts are arranged to form a hay-rack the brace 21 is disposed at an inclination and the studs are interlocked with the flanges 18, the lower end of the brace resting upon a thickened projec-.
The arms at the front ends of the sides of the rack engage eyes 29 of supplemental brackets 30, which are secured to the outer faces of the sides of the wagon body or bed, and the ends of the sides of the rack are provided with hooks 31, having elongated shanks and adapted to engage eyes 32 and 33 of the front standard 34:. The eyes 32 are arranged near the center of one of the cross-bars of the standard 3i and are in engagement with the same when the sides of the rack are disposed in a vertical position, and the other eyes 33, which are arranged at the sides of the standard 34, receive the hooks when the sides of the rack are inclined, the hooks or hooked rods serving to support the front ends of the sides of the racks.
The front and rear standards 34 and 35 are pivoted at their bottoms to the sides of the wagon-body by transverse rods 36 and 37 and are adapted to fold downward within the wagon body or bed and also to be removed therefrom by withdrawing the rods. The rear ends of the sides of the rack may be secured in any suitable manner when the parts are arranged to form a stock-rack.
The invention has the following advantages: The combined hay-rack and stock-rack is simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction and capable of being applied to a wagon body or bed. It is capable of being quickly arranged to form either a hay or a stock rack, and the sides of the rack are detachably interlocked to the sides of the wagon body or bed and may be entirely removed therefrom when desired. The devices for i11- terlockin g the sides of the rack with the sides of the body are simple and effective and the sides cannot become accidentally disconnected when in use.
Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
\Vhat I claim is 1. In a device of the class described, the combination of a bracket designed to be secured to a wagon-body and provided at the top with an eye and having longitudinal flanges extending upward from the bottom of the bracket, the latter being provided at its top with open spaces, an arm hinged to the bracket and engaging the eye thereof detachably, and a brace hinged to the arm and provided with inwardly-extending studs inter locked with the flanges of the bracket and adapted to pass through the open spaces at the top thereof, substantially as described.
