WAGON-BED ELEVATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,340, dated June 2, 1891.
' Application filed December 17, 1890. Serial No. 374:984. (N0 model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM SHELTON HAR- RIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milan, in the county of Gibson and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wagon-Bed Elevators; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings represents a sectional elevation of my invention; Fig. 2, an under side plan view of the wagon body; Fig. 3, an end view thereof.
The present invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in means for elevating Wagon or other vehicle beds or bodies after being detached from their runhing-gear, so that they may be placed out of the way in the stable or carriage-house; and the object thereof is to provide the body or bed with an attachment whereby it may be conveniently connected by means of a rope with suitable pulleys in the stable or carriage house and be elevated to the place desired.
The invention consists in the several details of construction, substantially as shown in the drawings and hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents the posts, and B the cross-beams thereof, having connected thereto suitable pulleys a, said posts and beams forming a framework in the stable or carriage-house; or, if preferred, the pulleys can be attached to any portion of the stable or house and the framework dispensed with, as found best adapted to the purpose.
The wagon or other vehicle bed or body is shown at O, and has connected to its under side metal plates D D, provided at their ends with bearings Z) to receive a shaft 0, which is of sufficient length to extend out beyond the end of the bed or bodyO to form a windlass E, and from this point it is bent at right angles to form a crank d, which is provided at its extremity with a sliding handle F, by which the windlass can be turned. The shaft 0 has a slot at its end, which fits a key e to prevent the same from being pulled out of its bearings but after the bed or body is elevated to the place desired the key can be removed and the device, with the exception of the plates D D, can be detached, thus providing a very simple and effective attachment to the body or bed of the vehicle.
(1 is a collar on the shaft 1: at its angle or bend, as seen in Figs. 1 and 2, and serving as'the outer end of the drum on which the rope G is wound. The rope G hasone end connected to the Windlass and extends over the pulleys, and has a loop at its opposite end to loop over the end of the bed or body, as shown in Fig. 1. When the bed or body is elevated to the desired height, the handle F is pushed in, as shown "in Fig. 2, which looks the Windlass and prevents it unwinding, the shaft 0 not being able to turn in its bearings when the handle is brought against the under side of the bed or body. The plate D, as will be noticed, forms a friction-bearing for the handle F when said handle is in position shown in Fig. 2, thereby taking the wear off the wood by frictional contact of the handle therewith.
It is deemed important that the plates D D be oppositely arranged. whereby they are less liable to be distorted .by strain on the Windlass, and it is also important that the outer one be formed at the outer end of thebore with a flange d, as seen in all of the views, which serves as one end of the drum of the Windlass.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The wagon-body elevator herein described, consisting of the uprights and their pulleys, the oppositely-arranged plates D D on the bottom of the wagon-body and the former formed with flange d at the outer end of its bore, the shaft 0, removably journaled in bearings .on the said plates, with its outer end bent at a right angle to its length, the collar (1 on the shaft 0 at its angle and forming the outer end of the drum or spool, the slidable handle F in the outer end of the right-angled portion, and the cord secured around the shaft 0 between the flange d and the collar (7 and passed over the pulleys, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in thepresence of two witnesses.
\V. S. HARRIS.
