Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 29, 1915.
i Application filed April 15, 1914. Serial No. 832,114.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM E. Aiqnnnn, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trucks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the referencenumerals marked thereon.
My invention relates to trucks, and it has for its object to provide a novel construction that is particularly adapted for supporting various articles in suspended posi tion while they are subjected to heat, or otherwise treated.
A particular purpose of my improvement resides in the provision of a portable structure which permits articles to be supported in such a way as to render them readily accessible at any point where they are to be used.
To these and other ends the invention consists in certain improvements and combinations of parts, all as will be hereinafter more fully described, the novel features being pointed out in the claims, at the end of the specification.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation with parts broken away showing a preferred improvement of my construction, and Fig. 2 is an end elevation, illustrating the manner in which it cooperates with a stationary heating element.
Similar reference characters throughout the several parts indicate the same parts.
In carrying out my invention, which may be applied in different ways, I have illustrated it as adapted for use in hospitals and similar places where it is desirable to provide a portable device for carrying bed clothing and other necessary articles, so that they may be first heated while in position on the truck, and then quickly transported to patient, operating room, or place where they are to be used. With this in view, I employ a construction that can be moved into close proximity to a heated element or member, so as to impart the necessary degree of heat to the articles on the truck, and at the same time affording means for preventing the articles from coming into direct contact with the heating element. To these ends I provide a yoke-like base portion embodying a frame including a plurality of inverted, substantially U-shaped members A which are suitably connected and adapted to straddle a heating element or radiator, such as designated at B, and to provide oppositely arranged parts that may be positioned adjacent to the heating element. The base portion is recruited on caster wheels C, or otherwise supported, to permit it to be readily moved about over a floor, from one place to another. Carried by the base portion A are uprights D upon which are arranged the article holders. To this end I employ adjustable brackets E, each provided with a series of sockets F adapted to receive the removable bars or rods G upon which the articles are arranged. @ne of the uprights D is provided with a handle H adjustably secured thereon by means of sleeves I, to enable the truck to be readily guided and moved in any desired direction.
In Fig. 2, the truck is shown in operative relation to the stationary heating element. In using the device, the clothing, bedding, or other articles are arranged on the respective rods or bars G which are then positioned in the several sockets F, the articles being thus suspended and hang ing downwardly to a point where they are to one side of, and adjacent to the heating.
element. It is highly desirable to prevent the articles from coming into direct contact with the heating element, and to this end I provide guards in the form of perforate walls connecting the inverted Ushaped members A. This may be accomplished by utilizing a single strip of wire screening material such as designated at J, by bending it to conform substantially to the shape of the members A and attaching it over the frame of the base portion as shown in the drawings, thereby providing a complete housing for the heating element, which will permit the heated air to pass freely into contact with the articles on the truck and at the same time prevent the latter from moving into direct engagement with the heater.
1 claim as my invention:
1. A truck including a yoke-like base portion adapted to straddle a heating element, and article holders arranged above the base portion to permit articles suspended there from to extend downwardly on opposite sides of the base portion.
Elm
2. A truck including a base portion having oppositely arranged parts adapted to be positioned on opposite sides of a heating element, and article holders arranged above the base portion to permit articles suspended therefrom to extend downwardly on opposite sides of the heating element.
3. A truck including a yoke-like base portion adapted to straddle a heating element, article holders arranged above the base portion, and a guard carried by the base portion and acting to engage the articles suspended i'rom the article holders to retain them aWay from the central part of the base portion.
a. A truck including a base portion adapted to be positioned adjacent to a heating ele ment, an article holder disposed above the base portion, and a guard arranged on the base portion and acting to engage an article suspended from the article holder to retain it away from the central part of the base portion.
5. A truck including a base portion embodying a plurality of inverted, substantially U-shaped members adapted to straddle a heating element, an article holder arranged nut-4,957
above the base portion, and guards extending longitudinally of the base portion and connecting said inverted U-shaped members.
6. A truck including a base portion embodying a plurality of inverted, substantially U-shaped members adapted to straddle a heating element, uprights carried by the base portion, horizontally disposed article holders supported on the uprights, and guards extending longitudinally of the base portion and consisting of perforate Walls connecting the inverted U-shaped members.
7. A truck including a base portion embodying a plurality of inverted, substantially U-shaped members adapted to straddle a heating element, uprights carried by the base portion, horizontally disposed article holders supported on the uprights, and means connecting the base portion acting to engage an article suspended from the article holder to retain it away from the heating element.
