Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
Specification of Iietters Patent.
Patented Dec. 18, 1906.
Annlicalon filed June 30, 1906. Serial No. 324,155-
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES G. How, a citizen of the United States, residing at New London, in the county of Waupacka and State of WVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stick- Pockets; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in pockets for sticks or stakes on wagons, sleds, cars, and other vehicles; and the object is to provide a stick-pocket or stake-pocket which obviates the necessity of pulling or driving the stick upward out of the pocket preparatory to unloading. Such driving upward of the sticks is very diflicult and often results in the breaking of the stick when the load rests against it, as is especially the case with loads of lumber, posts, pipes, barrels, cord-wood, and other articles with a similar rolling tendency. This and other objects I attain by the novel construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which c Figure 1 is a top view of a portion of a vehicle body or frame provided with one of my improved stick-pockets upon its side. Fig. 2 is a lower end view of Fig. 1 with a stick in the pocket. Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevationof Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a top view of a modified form of the stick-pocket applied to the end of a cross-timber of a car or vehicle frame. Fig. 5 is a lower end elevation of Fig. 4 with a stick in the pocket. Fig. 6 is an enlarged right side elevation of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a further improvement or modification of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a left side elevation of Fig. 7.
Referring to the drawings by reference-numerals, 1 designates the body of the frame of a flat-car, wagon, or other vehicle. 2 represents a stake or stick removably secured thereon by means which allow the stick to fold or escape outward without being driven upward. Said means or stick-pockets may be formed in various ways, of which a few equivalents are shown. Thus in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 I employ three eyebolts 3 3 3 and a hook-bolt 4, secured in the side rail of 'the frame 1. Through the lower two eyebolts extends an eyebolt 6, upon which is pivotally secured the lower end of a three-sided metallic pocket 5, which holds the stick against the said rail or a r' etallic plate' 'thereon, as in Fig. 7,' indicated. The pocket may thus tilt or fall outward and down, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2, when the stick is to be removed; but as long as the stick is to stand up the pocket is held upright by the cross-bar 7, which is joined with one end in the eyebolt 3 and the other end is securely held in the hook4 by a link 8, secured in the eye of the pivot-bolt 6 and having its upper end retained upon the end of the bar 7 by a cotter-pin 9, inserted transversely through said bar outside the link.
When the stick 2 is to be removed, the pin 9, which is held merely by its own springarms, is pulled out and the locking-bar 7 is given a blow upward with its swinging end, so it disengages the hook 4 and lets the pocket 5 fall outward.
In Figs. 4, 5, and 6 the construction is practically the same as already described, only that to make the principle fully applicable to the ends of cross-timbers of the vehicle the eyebolts 3 3 are secured upon one side of the cross-timber 1*, preferably by forming them at the ends of a horseshoe-shaped piece 10, bolted thereon, and the eyebolt 3 and hook-bolt 4 are similarly secured upon the other side of the timber, the bolts 11 being passed through the said irons, and the timber prevents the latter from splitting. The notch 12 in the end of the timber forms the pocket in one sense, but the foldable feature is provided by the member 5 which forms the outer side wall of the pocket and is pivoted to swing outward just the same as the member 5 in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, only that it is more simple and folds partly into the pocket 12, where it is held by- "exactly the same means as in said first three figures.
In the modification Figs. 7 and 8 is shown how the invention may be made in the form of a three-sided metallic pocket 13, secured by bolts 14 upon the frame. The outwardly- .open side of the pocket is closed by a flap or door 15, hinged at 16 and provided with a strong latch 17, pivoted at 18, and when in use is held in a hook 19 by a cotter-pin 9*, passed through it and the lip 20 of the hook. The dotted lines 21 show how a stick may be used as a lever tilting over a stud 22 for raising the latch 17 or cross-bar 7, which are practically the same thing.
Having thus described my invention, what a spring-pin or cotter-pin holding the link on 10 I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pate thebar. ent, is In testimony whereof I aflix my signature iii stick-pocket hazlring its outer Wall pivd+ in presence of two witnesses. 5 ote at the lower en to swing outward an downward, a, pivoted horizontal bar crossing CHARLES HOLZ' said front wall to hold it up, a fixed hook en- Witnesses: gaging the cross-bar to lock it, a ivotally- WM.
