TC ALL WI'IOM IT MAY CONCERN:4
Be it known that I, JOSHUA WALKER, of Kansas City, in the county of Jackson, and State of Missouri, have invented a new and improved' Elevator; and that the following descriptidn, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, hereinafter referred to, forms a full and exact specification of the same, wherein I have set forth the nature and principles of my said improvements, by ,which my invention may be distinguished from all others of a similar class, together with such parts as I claim, and desire to have secured to me by Letters Patent.
This invention relates to a new and improved device for elevating articles, and is more especially designed for loading the tenders of locomotives with wood or coal, although it is applicable 'to other purposes. 'The i object of tho invention is to economize in laborand facilitate the loadingot boats, locomotive tenders, ctc., etc.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings- Figure 1V is a side sectional viewy of my invention taken in the line a: x, iig. 2.
Figure 2 a plan or top view of the same.
Similar lettersi of reference indicate like parts.
A representan track for cars, which has an upright framing, B, at its terminus on which two ways or rails a a are secured, which-:trein line with or correspond in position to the rails b 25` of the track A.. The track A has a section or portion, C, made separate from the main part'. This section or portion C is of sutlicient length to receive a ear, and to its under side there are rmly'secured by joints c the upper ends of two pairs of parallel arms D D D D', the'lower ends 'of the latter being attached byjoints d d to the base or plat-form A of the track A, y The arms D are attached to one end of the section C,.and the arms D to the opposite end, as shown clearly in tig. 1. E is an arm, the upper end of which is secured by ajoint, e, to the' under side ofthe section or portion C. The lower end ,of the arm Eis fitted in a longitudinalislot, f, in the base or platform AX, and
lhas two pulleys g g in it, around which a rope, F, pisses, and also around lfixed pulley ax, in the base or platform, the ends of the rope being attached at the points h h, as shown clearly in fig. 1, and passing around a drum or windlass, G, in lthe framing B. The arm E, like the arms D D D D', is inclined, but E has a reverse position to D D. The part or section C of the track, when the loaded -car H is upon it, is elevated by turning the windlass G from left to right, the lower end of the arm E being drawn in the direction' indicated by the arrow 1, and the part or section C with its car raised to a level with the ways a a on the upright framing B, s
` shown in red in fig. 1, so that the car may be moved on the ways a a. I I represent two rails or ways, which are connected by one orvmore cross-ties c', and secured to the upper end of the framing .B in line with the railsY a a on-the framing. Each of these rails or'ways I has an arm, J, connected to it by a pivot, and the lower ends ofthed arms are fitted in grooves-in the outer posts or uprights' of the framing Ii, and are allowed to slide freely up and down therein. These arms J J are connected near their lower ends by a cross-rod, K, and to said rod there is attached a cord, L, which extends upward and passes around a pulley, c, `attachcd to the upper part of the framing B, and also passes around a drum, M, in said framing, (sec iig. I.) N is a car, the wheels of which are provided with ilangesl, to work at the outer sides of the rails. This car is provided with an inclined bottom, m, and has a suspended or swinging door, n, at one end. i
' The operation .is as follows: The car N is loaded and moved forward upon the section or portion C of the track A, and by turning the windlass G the section C, with the loaded car upon it, is elevatedl` as shown in red in iig. 1, until the rails b b 'are brought in line with the rails a a of the framing B. The car Nuis then moved on the rails a a, the rails I being elevated say to an angle of twenty-two degrees, as shown in red, by means ot' the windlass M. When the engine or boat to be supplied with fuel arrives under the railsI I, the latter are loweredby turning the windlass to the position shown in black, and the fireman by means ot" a hoek pulls the l'car N, which will run down on the waysILand the front 1aheolsef the 'car will come in contact with the hooks o at-the ends of the ways, and be suddenly stopped, the jar or concussion throwing open the door n and allowing the contents ofthe car to be discharged into the tender, bont, or other vehicle designed to receive it. The rails y I IA are then, by turningv the windlass M, raised to thev position shown in red, and the car N will descend and move back over the rails a a upon thehscction or part C, which, by turning the windlass G, is lowered to the level of the track A, and `moved back te be filled, a loaded car being placed on C to be again raised and dumped casu when required. This invention may be used for elevating all substances or articles. 'lhe flanges of the wheels may he placed either on their inner or outer sides. and the door n of the cnr muy be prurided with a cnteh or fastening so arranged ns to open and liberate the door when the front wheels of the car come in Contact with the hooks o at the ends of the rails I.
Having thns described my invention, I claim as new, und desire te seenre by Letters Patent- 1. In combination with the cnr tracks laid at dilerent heights, :t movable section C arranged and applied in such a manner as t0 admit of being raised and lunered from one track to the other and carry the cnr from one track to the other, substantially us set forth.
2, The hinged rails er ways I I, arranged with the arms J .l and windlnss BI, tn operate in connection with the adjustable section C, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
3. The arrangement :1s shown of the arms D D and E with the windlass (i, fur the purpose of' raisingnnd lowering the section C, for the purpose set forth.
JOSHUA WALKER.
