Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 28, 1905.
Application filed March 27,1905. Serial No. 252,237.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WADE A. BYRD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Swifton, in the county of Jackson and State ofArkansas, have invented a new and USQfUl'COlStOIl- Pickers Sack-Carrier, of which the following is a specification. I
This .invention relates to sack-carrying devices for pickers of cotton and the like; and it has for its objects to simplify and improve the construction and operation of this class of devices.
With these and other ends in view, which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the improved construction andnovel arrangement and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings has been illustrated asimple and preferred form of embodiment of the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited, but that the right is reserved to any changes, alterations, and modifications to which recourse may be had within the scope of the invention and without departing from the spirit or sacrificing the efliciency of the same.
In said drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a device constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing one of the bags detached and supported for weighing.
Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated throughout by similar characters of reference.
In carrying this invention into practical operation a pair of runners 1 1 are provided, said runners being spaced apart and connected by front and rear cross-pieces 2 3 and intermediate cross-bars 4, of which any desired number may be provided, said end pieces and cross-bars being preferably gained into the upper edges of the runners, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Each of the runners supports a plurality of uprights 5 5, said uprights at the front and rear ends of the runners being connected by means of crossbraces 6 6, which in turn serve to support longitudinal side rails 7, the several uprights 5 being reduced at their upper ends to form shoulders 8 and upwardly-extending pins 9, upon which the cross-braces and side rails are supported.
The bags 10, two or more of which may be supported upon each runner-truck, are provided at their upper edges with slats'll, provided at their abutting ends with semicircular notches or recesses 12, adapted to engage the pins 9 at said abutting ends, said slats ll being also provided with apertures 13 to engage other pins 9, that extend above the side rails 7, upon which the said bags may thus be supported for transportation, as will be clearly seen by reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings. A cross-brace 14 is provided with perforations 1 5, engaging the pins 9 at the abutting ends of the slats 11, which are thereby secured in position with suificient firmness to prevent them from being jostled out of position when the device is in operation.
The front cross-piece 2 and the runners 1 have been shown as provided with means, such as loops 16, for the attachment of draft devices, such as ropes, whereby the runnertruck may be dragged over the ground be tween the cotton-rows.
The operation and advantages of this invention will be readily understood. Cotton-pickers bags when carried by the pickers constitute a heavy and exhausting load and cannot well be carried by children, who may otherwise be usefully employed in picking cotton. This improved device may be termed a family sack-carrier, since all members of a family, young and old, may deposit the cotton picked by them in these sacks to be weighed all together. The mouths of the sacks are held wide open by engagement with the pins 9, eX- tending from the uprights 5, above the side rails of the device. When the cotton is to be weighed, the slats may be easily and quickly disengaged from the side rails and folded together, as shown in Fig. 3, thus enabling the bag to be conveniently suspended from the hook 20 of the weighing-scales by the apertures 13, intermediate the ends of the slats, being placed in engagement with said hook.
This device may be made of any desired dimensions, and it may be made to hold a single or any desired number of sacks, although usually two saoks will be the preferred number. The device is inexpensive, easily manipulated, and thoroughly useful for the purposes for which it is intended.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A movable supporting device having uprights reduced at their upper ends, side rails connecting said uprights, and flexible receptacles supported between the uprights and having apertured slats detachably engaging the reduced upper ends of the uprights.
2. A movable supportingdevice having uprights reduced at their upper ends, braces connecting the front and rear uprights in pairs, side rails connecting the uprights at the sides of the device, and flexible receptacles supported between the uprights and having apertured slats to engage the reduced upper ends of said uprights.
3. A movable supporting device having uprights reduced at their upper ends, flexible receptacles having slats provided with apertures to engage the reduced upper ends of the uprights, and a cross-bar having perforations engaging the reduced upper ends of the uprights'above the slats.
4:. A movable supporting device having uprights reduced at their upper ends, flexible receptacles having slats provided with notches at their abutting ends, and provided with apertures to engage the reduced upper ends of the uprights, and a cross-bar provided with perforations engaging the uprights engaged by the notched ends of the slats.
5. A movable supporting device having uprights reduced at their upper ends, cross members spacing the front and rear uprights, side rails supported by the reduced upper ends of the uprights at the sides of the device, flexible receptacles having slats engaging the reduced upper ends of the uprights, and auxiliary means for securing said slats detachably in position.
6. A pair of runners, spacing and connecting means for said runners, uprights rising from said runners and reduced at their upper ends, and flexible receptacles supported between and having slats adapted to engage the reduced upper ends of the uprights.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
WADE A. BYRD.
