SAMUEL RICHARDS, or PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. Letters Patent No. 71,642, dated December 3, 1867. i
Iurnoven sNoW-PtoUeHs.
tro ALL wnoM IrMAY eoNenRN:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL' RICHARDS, of the eityof Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Constructing Snow-Floughs; and I do hereby declare the following `to be a full and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- A i Figure 1 is a front removable triangularpiece, bolted to the front of the car-frame.
Figure 2 is another triangular piece -to'be mounted upon and bolted to the front of the car-frame.
Figure 3 is a movable wedge-piece to'be ateached by a `pivot-bolt near its upper end.
Figure 4 is one of a. pair of removable side pieces, screwed to each side of the car-frame.
Figure 5'is an ordinary eight-wheel flat car, used-Aon railroadsfor carrying.
Figure 6 is a View of my plough, with all the parts in place, iirmly attached to the ca r. 4
The nature of my improvement consists in the inode, of constructing u. snow-plough,- vvhieh can be rapidly and cheaply put together, und which can be taken apart Vand the car-bottom used, and the other parts stored in smell compass. Y
I take an ordinary eight-wheel dat car or car-bottom, such as used upon most roads. I construct a piece',- ofthe form shown in iig. 1, of two-inch timber, so that the back edge,'A, .of its inclined surfacets vevenly with the'front edge, B, g. 5, of the car-bottom, and fastened to thecar-frame by a long steel rodorbolt, m, which passes' through its side at C, then through perforated bolt-heads D D D", fig. 5,'and Ithe supports C Cr .alternately, and after `passing through the side C is secured in place by a screwnut, thus holding the triangular piece firmly in position. I'then- 'construetanother piece, of the form shown-in fig. 2, of the same thickness of timber, so that when in place its frontedge meets the back edge, A, of piece shown in iig.ll, the upper surfnoel ofthe pieces thus forming one continuous inclined plane. The inclined surface of this piece contains a slot, E, lig. 6,
in' which vrorksa Aprojection from thebottom of the wedge-piece, shown in. iig. 3and is secured in, its place by bolts dropped through holes in itsl bottom into corresponding holes bored into the car-door or bottom. On top ofthis piece is placed a wedge-piece, as shown in'g, 3, which is pivoted at its backpextremity to the Aupper plane snrface'of iig. 2. To the front of this wedge is secured a dop, G', which projects, when all the'parts are in place, a. little way over the lower section-or piece F fof-the inclined plane, iig, 6. When the side pieces, one of which is shown in iig. 4, are in place, as at H, fig.A 6 my'plough' is complete.'. The Wedge-piece G has a proa jection on its underside, fitting iin the slot E, iig. 6, inthe inclinedplane F. This projection is moved from side to' side by means of two pulley-'blocks attached to the under side of inclined plane F, at ehch'- end of the slot E. l rope or chain, attached by one end to this projection is passed through one of thesepulleys, and after several turns around, a. roller or win'dlass, I, iig. 2, is takenthrough the other pulley, and its loose end also attached tothe proj ecton, thus making an endless cord. A I prefer to have this wedge-block so as to shift, in the manner described, from'side toside, and so as to be removable also, but it may be lixed to the plane rigidly, sons neither to vibrate nor be removable. In tho manner in which I have described it it may be adjusted, so as to throw the snow off on these or both sides of .the plough. The il'sp G is adjustable by means of the lever K, which can be secured in place by the pin L.
The side piecesH serve not only to prevent the snow as it is thrown aside from falling under the wheels, but' act also as braces'or supports to the frontsection or piece F of the plough.
Having thus described my' invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. Combining, with an ordinary eight-wheel flat car or car-bottom, the removable front plane F and the removable inclined top Apiece F. i
2. Combining, with an ordinary'eight-wheel dat oer or car-bottom, the removable front plane F, the remov able inclined top plane F', and the upper wedge-block Gr, or their equivalents.
8. The arrangement of an axle or windlass, I, endless cord, and shifting wedge-piece G, or their equivalents.
SAMUEL RICHARDS.
