TRUCK STRUCTURE FOR GABBAG 0R ASH CNS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 21, 1909.
Application filed November 3, 1908. Serial No. 460,977.
To all whom it my concern:
Be it known that I, MATTHEW T. LYON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Truck Structures for Garbage or Ash Cans, of which the following is a specification.
My inventlon relates to improvements in truck structures for garbage or ash cans, and it consists in the constructions, combinations and arrangements hereinafter described and claimed.
An object of my invention is the provision of a truck structure for garbage or ash cans which vwill enable the latter to be conveniently handled and transported from one place to another, as from a house to the alley, with little effort.
A. further object of my invention is to provide a novel truck structure in which the wheels are securely fastened to the body by a simple securing means.
Gther objects and advantages will appear in the following specification and the novel features of invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which, similar reference characters indicate like, parts in the several views, and in which- Figure 1 is a side view showing one embodiment of my invention, certain parts being broken away. Fig. 2 is a bottom-view thereof. Fig. 3 is a side view showing a modified form. Y'
Referring now to the drawinvs I have shown therein a can composed of strips of sheet metal A' having their edges overlapped and connected by means of the rivets a. The can is provided with a conical-shaped top B, having a handle C. Side handles D are also provided in the body of the can for manipulating the same. Toward the bottom E of the can is arranged an annular ring F, which encircles the lower end of the can and is secured to it by means of riv ets f. This ring F projectssufcientlyl far enough below the bottom E of the -can to form an attaching surface for the wheel supports. The wheel supports for a pair of wheels consist of the rods G. The manner in which the rods are bent to form the supports is clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The ends of the rods are bent upwardly to form the flanges g which are attached to the ring F by means of the bolts g. The rod G has abend and a twist in it at the point g2, then dips downwardly and then upwardlyforming a bow and is attached to the bottom E 'L bymeans of the bolts g'. Pivotally secured .between the parallel bow-shaped portions of the rods G is the wheel L. The rods G are continued. on past the center and have sirnilar bow-shaped portions on the opposite side to which the wheel L is attached, the fastening of the ends of the supporting rods being thesame as that already described. Another pair'of wheels O, O is journaled to revolve in planes parallel to the plane of the lfirst-n'ientioned wheel. In order to permit this construction I provide the supporting strips P on opposite sides of the bottom, which are attached at .their endsby means of the bolts p. These strips have a bowed portion p2 to which the wheels 0, 0 are attached and this bowed portion extends slightly below the level of the similar bowed portions, forming the supports of the firstmentioned wheels. It will thus be seen from an inspection of Fi l that the wheels 0 and O form the 110mm l members upon which the can may be tilted in one direction or the otherin order to engage the wheel L or L.
The wheels O and O have the inner ends of their axles secured to a common strip R, which is fastened to the bottom E by means of the bolts r and the ends of which are bent downwardly at r2 and secured to the axle of the wheel as shown in Fig. 3. Each end of this bar R has a similar construction to that described. On the bar R I provide a handle S. The L-shaped ianges T are secured to the ring F by means of the bolts t and are perforated at t2 to receive the ends of the hooks W, which are attached to the tongue X or handle of the truck.
In Fig. 3 I have shown a-modified form of the invention, in which, instead of securing t-he truck members directly to the bottom of the can, I provide a base portion Y having a stiffened rim y, the said base portion Y being adapted to receive the bottom part of the can. This arrangement permits of the removal of the can and the substitution of another can in its place.
From the above description of the various' parts the operation of the device can be readily understood.l The formation of the truck supports in the mannerl described, provides a slmple device Whichis at the same y time of great durability and strength. The
' taehedl to the can body, parallel wheel sup- 'front wheels, and the provision of the vacan may be tipped toward the rear or toward the front to rest upon the rear wheels or the rious handles enables it to be manipulated in the ordinary way. Moreover, the lightness of the truck members will permit of the can and its rolling supports to berlifted bodily as when the can is to be emptied.
I claim- 1. In a truck structure for ash or garbage cans, an annular ring arranged to be atporting members secured at their ends at opposite sides of said annular ring, said supporting members being also secured to the bottom of the can and being provided with bowed portions near their' ends, wheels carried by said bowed portions, supporting members having similar bowed portions, a transverse member having its ends adjacent i to said last mentioned bowed portions, and a l pair of wheels journaled between the bowed portions of' said supporting members and the ends of said transverse member.
Q. In aA truck structure for ash or garbage cans,l an annular ring arran ed to be attached to the can body, paral el wheel supporting members secured at their ends at opposite sides of ysaid annular ring, said support-ing members being also secured to the bottom of the can andbeing provided with bowed portions near their ends, wheels carried by said bowed portions, supporting members having similar bowed portions extending below the first mentioned bowed portions, a transverse member having its ends adjacent said last mentioned bowed portions, said transverse member being secured t0 the bottomof the can and having a portion bent around the first named wheel supporting f members, ya handle secured to said transverse member and a pair of wheels journaled between/the bowed portions of said supporting members and the ends ot'saidv transverse member. t l\IA'.l"l`IIE\/\r THOMPSON LYON.
