' Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 1907.

Application filed September 12. 1906. Serial No. 334,249-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES ORVILLE WVRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bluefield, in the county of Mercer and State of West Virginia, have invented a Shipping-Case, of which the following is a specification. p

This invention is an improvement in shipping cases, and relates more particularly to a form of case or crate especially adapted for use in the transportation of grinding rolls of that class which are employed in connection with flour mills, and the principal objects of the invention are to provide a light, strong and durable casing or crate of this character which will inclose the roll and thoroughly protect the grinding surface thereof, and so that said roll will not become injured in the transportation of the same from one place to another, as for instance from the manufacturer to the mill.

A further object of the invention is to construct the shipping case in such manner that the same may be readily applied to the grinding roll, and so that the arts of said case or' crate may be separate .and closely packed for storage or shipment back to the manufacturer.

Other though minor objects of the invention will hereinafter appear in the specifications, and what I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters-Patent will be more particularly set forth in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification: Figure 1 is a sectional view through a shipping case or crate cgnstructed in accordance with the invention,- and showing the a plication of same to the usual form of grin g roll. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the envelop or outer case. line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a view showing a modified. form of shipping case made in practically two sections, the near section bemg removed Fig. 5 is anend view of the modification'shown in Fi 4. Fig. 6 isga sectional view on the line 66 of Fi 4. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of one endof th modified form of shipping case.

Both forms of the shipping case shown in the drawings are .ada ted to receive the grinding roll 1 and its s iaft 2, which are employed in connection with flour mills, and as rolls, especially the shafts, are of a standard length-the shipping case may be Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the made of a standard size, allowing for slight adjustment only.

As shown on Sheet 1 of the drawings I employ primarily two disksS and 4, each comprising two parts or halves provided centrally with an opening through which the shaft 2 passes, the said. opening having a surrounding annular boss 5 externally threaded to receive a threaded collar 6, by which latter said parts of the disk are connected together, it being understood, of course, that each part of the disk has a half-boss which together form the aforesaid annular boss.

- The two parts or halves of each disk are connected to the corresponding or companpendently, by means of turn-buckle devices each comprising in the present instance a tube 7 internally threaded at its ends to receive the oppositely threaded bolts 8, the latter engaging the open-ended slots 9 in the edges of the

aforesaid disks

3 and 4, and the ends of said tube are preferably squared to receive a wrench for turning the same. It will be seen, therefore, that when the parts of the disks are brought together on the shafts and connected by the threaded collars 6, said disks may be adjusted with respect to the ends of the roll by turning the tubular members of the turn-buckles.

For the purpose of protecting the ends of the shafts 2, and to more securely hold the ploy two circular plates 10 10, one for each the disks by means of the rods or olts ll. The plates 10 are bulged centrally to provide a recess 12, and in said recesses are seated the ends of the grinding-roll shaft, the connection being further au mented by screws 13, which pass through the center of the plates with, as in use the grinding-roll is very firmly held in place. Over the disks, so as to cover the grinding-roll, is placed a protecting case ion parts or halves of the other disk, hide-- grinding-roll between the disks 3 and 4 I emend of the shaft, and connect said lates to into the usual centering-recesses in the ends ever, these packing devices may be dispensed tion witlia removable rod 19.

or envelop 16, consisting of the two semi-.

circular sections hinged together at one edge,

as at 17, and connected together by the interlocking ears on the other edge in conjunc- I In applying this form of shipping case to the grinding roll the two sections, each'comprising the place by engaging the bolts with the slots in the edges of: the disks and tightening said bolts to bring'the plates against the ends of the shaft, and, finally, the protecting case or envelop is applied and securedby the rod 19. In'case the rubber rings are employed they are, of course, slipped over the ends of the shaft-before. the parts of the shipping case are ap lied.

In the orm, of shipping case shown on Sheet 2 of the draw ngs an lnclosing case is provided'consisting of racticallytwoparts or sections and 21, W ic'h are placed on 0pposite sides of the roll and shaft and bolted together, having the meeting flanges 22 through which the bolts pass. Each section comprises the semi-cylindrical portion 23, embracing the grinding-roll, the semi-circu lar heads 24, bearing against the ends'of said roll, and the semi-tubular portions 25 formed integrally with the heads and embracing the projecting ends of the shaft, said semitubu lar portions being threaded at their outer ends to receive the, caps 26. The semi-circular portions 23 are formed in two parts, as shown in Fig. 4, the meeting edges of said parts overlapping and connected by clamping-bolts 27 passed through ears 28 formed on the respective parts. The heads of the inclosing case may be brought directly against the ends of the grinding roll, but it is preferred to employ a fillin disk 29 of yielding material which will ta e up any jar; such filling disks being also employed for the purpose of occupying the space which would be left in case the grinding-roll is shorter than the standard size.

The heads of the cylindrical part otthe shipping case are extended to provide a flange 30, the outer edges of which are preferably beyond the plane of the ears 28, so that such shipping caseand its contents may be rolled over the ground or floor from one place to another. The connection of the heads 24 and tubular portions 25 is preferably reinturer to the mill, and as the parts of the shipping case are all made of metal the same ma be used over and over again.

Having thus described I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is
