JOHN R1DDALL'BROWN,' OF MANCHESTER, ENGLAND.
MEANS FOR LAYING'OR ERECTING TELEGRAPH AND LIKE POLES.
Patented July e4, 1906.
Application filed December 15, 1905. Serial Ro- 291.865.
Be it known that 1, JOHN RIDDALL BROWN, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of Manchester, England, have invented certain new or Improved Means for Laying or Erecting Telegraph and Like Poles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide a machine suitable for use in readily erecting tele raph-poles and the like.
lferetofore the operation of raising a pole and placing it in the ground has been a tedious and risky undertakin ladders and ropes and able length of time.
manual labor being t e usual and only means employed and the task occu ying a consider- By t 's invention the operation is rendered easy, safe, and rapid.
Upon the accom anying drawings, Figure 1 illustrates a side e evation, and Fig. 2 aplan, of the machine forming the invention. Fig. 3 and 4 illustrate like views, but show certain arts in a different position. Figs. 5 and 6 lllustrate a side and plan view, respectively, of a detail part to a larger scale.
According to the invention the machine comprises two end frames 0 a, joined by crossrods 1) b. At their upper parts the frames carry the axis of a table a, (see Figs. 5 and 6,) and such table is preferably longer on one side of its axis than on the other. U on the ends of the table are two Woodenb ocksd, each with a curved recess (1, and linked to each block is a divided yoke or clamp e, the two parts and the recess d approximating to the average irth of a tele raph-pole near its wider end. pon one end of the axis of the table is keyed a worm-wheel f, and on an axis 9, carried by brackets h on the frame side, is a worm 'i, with which the worm-wheel meshes, as shown. Fast upon the worm-axis g is also a bevel-wheel 7'; Also supported by the upper part of the machine is a cross-shaft 7c, and slidabl mounted on such shaft is a bevel- Wheel adapted, by means of a forked lever m and grooved boss, to be held in or out of gear with the bevel-wheel 9'. Fast upon the same shaft and near the opposite end 13 a pinion 11... Upon another cross-shaft is a large flanged drum or winch o, and fastened to such drum or winch is a large gear wheel p, which meshes with the pinion n. By rotation of the shaft in by means of handle g the worm 'i and worm-wheel f are rotated and the table 0 caused to rotate and assume, say, the horizontal position shown in Fig. 1 or the vertical cross-shaft or one of t e rods is hin ed the lower end of a long post-like arm or hfter 7' three or four yards in length (or longer) an adapted to lie on the ground, as shown in Fi s. 1 and 2 and to be turned upward to. t e vertical, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. At its free end the lifter is fitted with a forked mount .9, with the forks when the lifter is on the ground extending upward. Upon the lifter is also a guide-pulley s. Forming part of the mount 8 is a loop or eye t, and. hooked to such e e is one end of a rope u, the other end of w ch is wrapped around and secured to the barrel 0. Between the forks of the mount sis a runner v.
With the lifter resting on the ground, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the table 0 in the horizontal position the machine is ready for use. The pole to be erected is first deposposition shown in Fi 3. U on a further ited on the ground alongside the machine.
The wider end is then lifted onto the table 0 and into the recesses d, the other end still resting on the ground Such other end is then place over the lifter r and between the forks of the mount 8 until it rests on the runner 'v, as shown 1) dotted lines. The clamps e are then broug t round the ole and securely fas tened over the pole, as s own, either b bolts and nuts, as shown, or b chains, the astening in all cases being suc as to securely hold the pole to the table, which is set parallel therewith. The shaft is is then rotated by the handle Z, thus rotating the drum or wine 0 and the table 0 and causing the rope u to be simultaneously Wound onto the drum 0 and the lifter 1' to be raised. The combined effect of the two movements is to raise the pole to the vertical, and until its lower end bears against the cross-rods I), (see Figs. 3 and 4,)
the lifter following the pole, the pole riding on the runner v, and the rope controlling the lifter when fully raised. The wheel h (see Fig. 4) is then drawn out of gear with the wheel j and the drum 0 rotated in the reverse direction, thereby lowering the lifter 1' onto the ground. Due to the worm-gearin the table a is held locked in all positions. he clamps e are then released to an extent which allows the-pole to slide slowly down and into the" prepared hole in the ground. When the pole is in the ground and the hole has been filled up, also when the pole has been roperly sta ed, the clamps e are fully un astened an the pole made free. The machine is then removed.
' For convenience in removing the machine 1t may be mounted on wheels or upon 11'011 slides or skates.
/ If desired there may be two on the shaft is and two wheels p. lkewise there may be two worm-wheels f, two worms '13, two shafts g, and two sets of bevel-wheelsj and l one set on each side of the machine.
The table is preferably longer on one side of its axis than on the other in order to sup port the pole low down when tilted and to bear against the two cross-rods; but it may be otherwise.
' What I claim is 1. In means for facilitating the erection of telegraph-poles and the like, a machine comprislng a swiveling table with clamps for clampin the pole tothe table, a winch or drum, a ifter pivoted atone end and free at the other, a rope secured to the drum and the free end of the lifter and means for rotating the table and the drum, substantially as herein set forth.
2. Ina machine for facilitatin the erection ofItelegra holes and the l' e, a swiveling table wit -c amps for holding a pole thereto, and means for rotating the tableand holding it in any set position, substantially as set forth and illustrated on the accompanying. drawings.
3. In a machine for facilitating the erection of telegraph-poles and the like, a winch or m and means for rotating the same, a lifter hinged at one end to the machine and at the other end free and provided with a forked mount, and a rope connected to the said free end of the lifter and to the said drum or winch, substantially as herein set forth and illustrated on the accompanying draw- %n witness whereof I havehereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
