GRAIN ELEVATOR AND DUMP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 11, 1907.
Application filed February 8, 1907- Serial No. 356,471.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JAMES PETERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glenrock, in the county of Nemaha and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Grain-Elevator and Dump, of which the fol lowing is a specification.
This invention has relation to elevators and dumps and adapted to be used in connection with granaries and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts as hereinafter shown and described.
The object of the invention is to provide an elevator and dump of portable character through which a vehicle containing grain may pass. An elevator box is located within the frame of the elevator and means is provided for elevating the front end of the vehicle containing the grain in order that the grain may fall from the wagon body into the said elevator box. Means for elevating the said box is provided and for automatically tilting and dumping the same when it arrives at the top of the frame. The hoisting means may be manually operated or operated by horse ower or motor as desired.
In t e accompanying drawing :Figure 1 is a side elevation of the elevator. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a detai perspective view of the end of a box used in the elevator.
The elevator comprises the frame 1 which is mounted upon the wheels 2. Said frame is provided with the uprights 3, 3 which serve as guides for the elevator box 4. The shaft 5 is journaled at the top of the frame 1 and is located over one end of the box 4. The flexible elements 6 wind upon the shaft 5 and pass through the blocks '6 and are attached at their ends to the cross-piece 5. The cross-piece 7 is located at one side of the frame 1 and is attached at its end to the uprights 3, 3 at a point below the top of the said frame. The box 4 is provided at one end with a hinged section 8 having the flanges 9, 9 which when the said section is closed up against the end of the box 4 overlap the sides thereof. The catch 10 is mounted upon the cross-piece 11 which in turn is attached at its ends to the sides of the box 4. The said catch 10 is adapted to pass over the edge of the section 8 and normally hold the said section closed against the end of said box. The free end of the said catch moves in a path vertically below the cross-piece 7, consequently, when the box 4 is elevated the free end of the said catch comes in contact with the said cross-piece and the opposite end of the said catch is lifted which liberates section 8 and permits the same to swing down and the grain contained within the box 4 may flow out into the adjacent granary or crib. Also by reason of the fact that the upper edges of the box 4 in the vicinity of the catch 10 will be retained under the cross-piece 7 and the opposite end of said box may elevate slightly. The said box is pitched at an angle which facilitates the exit of the grain therefrom.
The shaft 12 is journaled in the lower por tion of the frame 1 and is provided with a sprocket-wheel 13. The sprocket-wheel 14 is fixed to the shaft 5 and the sprocket-chain 15 passes around the sprocket-wheels l3 and 14. The ratchet-wheel 16 is also fixed to the shaft 12 and the pawl 17 is pivotally mounted upon the frame 1 for engagement with the ratchet-wheel 16. The shaft 18 is also journaled upon the frame 1 and is provided with a pinion 19 which meshes with the wheel 16. The pinion 20 is also located upon the shaft 18. The clutch 21 is located upon the shaft 18 and cooperates with the end of the pinion 20 in order to cause the said shaft to rotate. The clutch 21 is operated bythe clutch lever 22. The shaft 23 is located below the shaft 18 and is provided with a pinion 24 which meshes with the pinion 20. Any suitable means may be provided for rotating the shaft 23, such as a Windlass and sweep 25, a motor or manual labor. The shaft 26 is journaled at the top of the frame l'and extends transversely thereof. The disk 27 is attached to said shaft 26 and the winding drum 28 is journaled at the lower portion of the frame 1. The tackle 30 passes around the disk 27 and is adapted to be wound upon the drum 28. The slings 31 are provided at their lower ends with hub-receiving loops and are adapted to wind upon the shaft 26. The shaft 33 is journaled below the drum 28 and is provided with a pinion 34 which meshes with the gearwheel 35 fixed to the said drum 28. The pawl 36 is pivoted to the frame 1 and adapted to engage the gear-wheel 35 for checking the rotation of the same. The pinion 37 is located upon the shaft 33 and the clutch lever 38 operating in conjunction with the clutch ICO member 39 may be moved in order to cause the pinion 37 to rotate with the shaft 33. The gear-wheel 40 is mounted upon the shaft 41 and meshes with the pinion 37. As above indicated any means may be employed for rotating the shaft 41 which through the gear-Wheel 40, pinion 37 shaft 33, pinion 34 and gear-wheel 35 will rotate the drum 38.
Thus the tackle 30 is wound upon the said drum and the disk 27 and shaft 26 are rotated in unison. The slings 31 are wound upon the said shaft 26 and as the hubs of the forward wheels of a wagon have previously been inserted in the loops 32 the forward end of the wagon is lifted and the grain will flow from the rear end thereof into the box 4. After the boX 4 is loaded it is elevated and dumped in thegranary above described. Before the box is lowered, however, another wagon may be passed into the frame 1 in position to be dumped into the box when the boX may be lowered and the wagon body inclined with relation to the same as above de-.

Havlng described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters- Patent is An apparatus of the character indicated comprising a frame, a boX extending transversely of the frame being arranged for movement therein, a shaft ournaled at the top of the frame and extending longitudinally thereof, a flexible element winding about said shaft and being connected with the sides of the boX at intermediate points thereof, means for rotating the said shaft, said frame having a portion for the reception of a wagon body, a shaft journaled at the top of the frame over the last said portion thereof, slings winding upon the last said shaft and having wheel receiving loops at their lower ends and means for rotating the last said shaft.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
JAMES PETERSON.
