UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN RODEMEIER, OF FREEPORT, ILLINOIS.
TRUCK FOR MOVING BUILDINGS.
SPEGIFIGATIQN forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 678,035, dated July 9, 1901;
Application filed May 8, 1901.
To all ZUhOTH/ it may concern.-
Beit known that 1, JOHN RODEMEIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Freeport, in the county of Stephenson and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Building-Moving Trucks,of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to building-moving trucks; and the object of the same is to construct a truck so designed that several can be coupled together to carry a building during the operation of moving it, the number used depending on the size and weight of the structure and will vary from four up. A novel means for coupling the trucks together isalsoprovided. This objectisaccomplished by the simple and novel construction described in this specification, and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which:-
Figure 1 is a side elevation of one of my trucks. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view of four trucks coupled together. Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5, Fig. 4.
Like numerals of reference designate like parts in the different views of the drawings.
The numeral 1 designates the frame of my truck, which consists of sides 2 and ends 3, mortised together and secured by tie-rods 4 and drift-bolts 5. Two broad strong-flanged wheels 6 are mounted intermediate the sides 2 and are keyed on the shafts 7, journaled in boxes 8, set into the under side of the frame. The under side of the frame 1 is bound with iron at 2, as is also the tops of the ends at 3*. A platform 9 for supporting the load brought to bear on the truck rests on the upper ends of four pairs of stiff spiral springs 10, each pair of which surrounds a bolt 11 and bears on a base-b1ock'12. The bolts 11 are provided with heads 13, bearing on the upper side of the platform 9, and are fitted with nuts 14, located beneath the base-block 12. The
lower ends of the springs 10 rest on the upper face of the base-block 12. A pair of bars 15 extend transversely the frame 1 and'are located one on each side of the platform 9. Depending fromthe bars 15 are four hangers 16, which carry a second pair of bars 17, on which the base-block 12 rests. To keep the Serial No. 59,264. (No model.)
In moving a building it is first jacked up and the stringers 23 placed under it, after which the trucks are placed in position and coupled together in the manner described. By means of my trucks buildings of ordinary size maybe Very expeditiously moved and all danger of breaking their backs avoided.
Only four trucks have been shown coupled together; but it is obvious that any number of pairs could be united in a similar manner.
I do not'wish to be limited as to details of construction, as these maybe varied in many particularswithout departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, isg 1. A movingtruck comprising the combination, of a frame, broad wheels flanged on both sides mounted intermediate the sides of said frame or shafts journaled therein, bars extending across said frame, hangers de-" said platforms and uniting them transversely in pairs, guides pivoted to said bars, and stringers fitting said guides and connected to said trucks by chains, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- :zo nesses.
JOHN RODEMEIER.
