Application led November 12, 1917. Serial No. 201,591.
To ZZ 'LU/rom t may concern:
Bc it known that I, ALONZO GEEST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Helix, in the county of Umatilla and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hoisting and Handling Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to hoisting appliances, and particularly to means for hoisting objects such as barrels, bales, boxes, and the like, and so that they may be rreadily handled.
The general object of the invention is to provide a mechanism of this character whereby an `article may be hoisted to any convenientv height, and then rotated in either direction, and then again lowered so that either end of the article may 'be disposed upon the ground.`
A further object of the invention is the provision of means particularly adapted for handling barrels of gasolene or like containers, which may be readily operated, requires but little power and :by which the barrel may be lifted from the ground, turned so as to present either head upward, the faucet inserted in the container and the barrel or container again rotated and lowered in position for use.
A further 'object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character in which there is a winding shaft with a cable adapted for the' purpose of hoisting the article, and a shaft for rotating the article, and means whereby an operating crank may be operatively connected 'either to the wind'- ing shaft or to the shaft'ifor rotating the article.
A further object is to provide 'a hoisting device of this character in which the shaft for rotating the article is detachably engaged by a hoisting hook, in turn operatively connected to the winding shaft, to provide seats for t-he first named shaft, which will support this shaft with the article slung above the ground, and provide mea-ns for operatively connecting the'shaft for rotating the article with a hand-operated driving means. 4
` A further object is to provide in connection with the mechanism above referred to. a detachable gin pole adapted to support a cable and pulley, the cable being adapted to be connected to the hoisting; or Vwinding shaft, and in this connection, generally speaking, to provide a hoisting and handling device which may be used for handling barrels, or other articles, in the manner heretofore described, and which' also may be used as a loading machine, or hoisting Inachine having a relatively great range of movement.
` Other objects will appear in the course of the following description. i
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved handling machine;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Fig. l;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the means for holding the shaft 24 in its shifted position;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the barrel clamps; y
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the other barrel clamp;
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the chain tightener;
Fig. 8 is an end view of the sprocket wheel 26; and
Fig. 9 is an end view of the gear wheel 2S.
Referring to these figures, it will be seen that the frame of the hoisting machine comprises the uprights lO, which are disposed in parallel relation to each other and are connected by a cross bar 1l. These uprights l0 and the cross bar are preferably integral and made of T-iron. The uprights 10 rest upon longitudinally extending sills 12, which are preferably made of angle iron, thevertical lianges 13 of the angle iron being riveted to the lateral flanges of the uprights. Braces 14 are preferably riveted to the flanges of the T iron, and to the flanges ofthe angle iron, and convergent braces 15k are preferably attached to the inner webs of the vertical supports 10 and extend upward to the middle of the cross bar.
Mounted adjacent the upper ends of the uprights 10 are the outwardly projecting brackets 16, which are riveted or otherwise attached to the T iron, these brackets at their ends being formed' with bearings for a transverse winding shaft 17, this winding shaft carrying upon it a relatively large sprocket gear wheell 18. Disposed at any suitable height onthe upright 10, below the brackets 16, are brackets 19, which are vertically slotted as at 20, and torni seats or bearings ior a sha-itt 2l, Which l will here after designate as the tilting' shaft. rl`his shaft 2l carries upon it a gear Wheel Q2, and the end of the shaft is formed with a collar or shoulder 23. which engages on the outside of the adjacent supporting bracket 19.
For the purpose of rotating the Winding` shaft 17, and rotating the tilting` shaft 2l, l provide a shaft 2e, which is longitudinally shiftable through one ot' the supports l0 and through the correspending` bracket 19, this shaft carrying upon. it a crank handle 25 whereby the shatt'inay be rotated. i Loosely mounted upon this driving shaft 2l is sprocket wheel 26 having` a relatively small diameter and over Which passes a sprocket chain QT which extends around. the sprocket Wheel 1S. Also loosely mounted upon the shaft 2li is a gear Wheel 2S. which meshes with the gear Wheel 22 on the tilting` shaft 2l.
Projecting from the shaft Qrl is a pin 29 disposed between the gear Wheel 2S and the sprocket Wheel 26, and the gear Wheel 2S and the sprocket Wheel 26 are both provided with radial notches or recesses Q9 into which the pin 29 is adapted to engage when the shaft 24: is shiftedin one direction or the other. lWhen engaged with the gear Wheel Q8, this gear Wheel will be rotated ivhile the sprocket Wheel QG will remain idle and when the pin is in engagement With the sprocket Wheel 26. the gear wheel yvill remain idle.
ll/lounted upon the adjacent upright lO is a latch 30, having a lug' 31 adapted to be inserted between the head of the crank and the edge ot the support l0. when the crank shaft 24 has been shifted to engage the pin 9.9 with the gear Wheel Q8. This latch is pivotally supported at its upper end by means of a pin, a coil spring; 33 surroundingl this pin and forcing the latch inward. The inner end or' the ,shaft @el is supported by means of a brace 34C. For the purpose ot holding the sprocket chain in driving,` engagement with the sprocket Wheels 3.8 and 26. l provide a chain tightener comprising a yoke 35. which embraces the chain 27. this yoke'having a roller 86 and the yoke beine; mounted upon an arm 37 forming part and projecting` from a coil spring' 3S mounted upon a pin 39. i-lny other form of chain tightener may be used. however. The hoist ing shaft 17 carries at one end the ratchet Wheel elO, Which is adapted to be engaged by a locking` payvl 4l mounted on the adjacent upright l0. this lockingl pawl preventinga reverse rotation of the hoisting;v shaft.
Mounted upon the tilting` shaft 2lv is a sprocket wheel 42, and engi-aging with the shaft 2l and einbrac-.ine` the sprocket ivhcel is a clevis 43. Attached to an eye lil on the cross bar ll is a cable fl. Which entends downward and passes through a pulley and then extends upward and is attached to the hoist-ing' shaft in any suitable manner, this pulley l@ havingv a hook l? detachably engaging with the clevis 43.
chain7 preferably a sprocket chain, i8 passes over the sprocket Wheel l2. and this chain carries at its opposite ends article clamping means. l have illustrated the device as being adapted particularly :t'or hoistinggA cylindrical containers or barrels, and ipr this purpose, one end of the sprocket chain 4S carries upon it a clamping` hook i9 adapted to engage With the rim of a barrel and havingl a set screw 50. Which Will lock over the flange of the rim and hold the clamp in iirni engagement therewith. At the opposite end of the barrel, l preferably provide a. barrel end clamping device con'iprising three arms pivotally connected to each other. lno of these arms 5l are 'formed With hooks 52 at their ends and are relatively short. The other arm 53 is relatively long and is forn'ied with a hooked end 54 and with a handle whereby it may be manipulated. T he upper end ci this arm is bent over the pivot 56 for the arms to forni a hook 5T With which the extremity of the sprocket chain -il-S is adapted to be engaged.
The operati en of this part of my invention is as follows: Assuming that it be desired to handle a metallic container of the usual type 'lor coi'itaining gasolene. then this barrel or container is disposed betyven the uprights l0 extending parallel to the sills l2. The clevis i3 is disengaged from the hook 4T. The hook i9 is engaged With one end of the con tainer and the clamping members 5l and 53 are engaged With the other end of the con tainer. The chain 48 is then engaged With the hook 57. The crank handle l5 is then rotated to lower the hoisting hook e7, which is engaged With the clevis 43. The crank handle is then rot-ated in the reverse direction to cause the Winding up of the hoisting shaft 17, the pin Q9 being, of course, engaged with the sprocket Wheel 26, but disengaged from the gear wheel 28. llillien the tilting' sha'tt :2l has been lift-ed to a position above the brackets l1). the crank handle is reversely turned so as to loiver the tiltingshaft into the seats or slots Q0. lf non* it be desired to tilt the container, the crank shaft 24 is shifted laterally to carry the pin 29 into engagement With the gear Wheel Q8, disengagi ing it from the sprocket Wheel 26. Non' upon a rotation ot the shaft 2e in either direction. the tilting shaft Will be rotated. rotating the sprocket Wheel i-2 and tilting the barrel in either direction desired. Thus. ier instance. the barrel may be tilted so as to carry the bung-hole upn'a rd and then a faucet may be disposed Within the barrel, the barrel tilted hack to its vertical position. the tiltinp` att operatively disconnected from the driving shaft 2e, andv l.een the; drie# ing ,shaft rotated to loiver the rbarrel onto the Hoor or to the ground. The clamps may then be', of course, readily disconnected from the barrel, andfthe empty ,barrel ,is vrolled away `and th'efull one putin its place(A By' the nse 'of the ,device as 'abo-,ve describedfa small"boycanjhandle a' gallon barrel of gasolene andflie can also take down an einptybarrel andfreplace ,thefull one 'ivithmitany assistance. It'vill be seen thatthis hoisting mechanism provides foi" -a ready and yeasy handling of the barrels or containers and that the'containersiiiay be handled ivithout losingv any gasolene therefrom. Furthermore,it ivill befse'en'tliaft'by providingthe pawl ai' engaging" the'ratchet at),K that the tilting shaft may be held atta-ny desired level, `While Vsupporting a fullA oontainer andit willalso'be seen' that' the c'o'ntainer may be swungA around a vertical axis or shifted rearul'ard` or forward `vvitli relatively sli ght` effort to thatthe container ,may be readily put in place.` t
` ll'lhile l have especially referred in the above description to barrels i or containers holding 'gasole'ne iti'ivill be obvious the device maybe used forboes, bales, or other articles and that it not limited 'to the use above described.
lVhile I have'illustrated ya form of vmy invention which, as before stated, hasbeen found very effective in practice, yet I do not wish to be limited to the details of construction showvn or to the exact arrangement of parts, as it is obvious'thatinanychanges may be made, Within the scope of the appended claims.
