Application filed. December Tdalliwhom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, HAROLD GQNILso a citizen ;of the United States v of America, residing at Detroit, in the countyof'Wa-yne and State of Michigan, "have invented certain new and useful,Improveinentsin Loading- Attachments for Trucks, of which the =following" is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings. The inventionfrelates to loading attachments particularlydesigned for use upon motor trucks and'other vehicles of transportation and the invention consists in various features of construction as hereinafter set forth. l I i I In the drawings I r 1 e e Figure 1 is a sectional'side elevation of a truck to which my improvement is applied; a Figure 2 is a plan view thereof; 7 a
ure 3 is a detail persp tiv v've l the ratchet wheel. 7
p A isa niotor truck, on theii'a'me of which is mounted thedumping body B operated suitable mechanism. Thisas showncomprises the hydraulic hoist '-C,, carrying'the oss head D with shives E'thereon and with cables F anchorfed to' the frame at Gpass ng over the shivesE and attaching to the arms 'H, which lift" and dump the body. "My; im-
K pivotallyjfattachedto the frame of the proved loading attachmentcom'prises a scoop J which is carried by' swingln'garms vehicle means of cross shaft L, The varms K are pre'ferably raised or lowered i mean s of cables M which are attached at one end to said arms andpass overshives Nand N on the, body'and thence downwardand beneath 'shives O on the frame' The ends .of these cables are-"adapted to'be seciired to a the ,cables" F when the "latter are detached from "theanchors ,G andjas shown, P are ,to dump the body or to load the same hooks on saidfcables F by which'they may be alternately attached 'to thefanchorsl and v to the cables Thus with thearrangement shown the hoist C be used either through the inedi'um of the scoop J .l

'throughbearings in the arms K and one of which, 1s attached to a sprocket wiheel'R.
This sprocket wheel is, connected by v sprocket chaln S with a sprocket T uponthe shaft L. U is an arm projecting radially fromthe sprocket T and attached to a rod,
U-, the end of whichengages a locking" bolt V, The rod U is also formedwith a rack portion U which engages a pinion 'l/V at .tached to v a ratchet wheel fl/Vfwhile a ratchet lever VV is arranged for operating 7 the ratchet wheel to revolve the pinion and to move the rack. Aspring U surroundw 'ing'the rod U operates't'o yieldably hold sa'idrod in its normal position. However, when the bolt is in locking engagement 'With the rod, these parts are all stationary.
' X is a trip rod extendin parallel to the rod I i Y TP v U and hav ng a cam is for raising the bolt Vj te "disengage thesamei from the rod U; v W 1th the parts as thus 'far described, when the vehicle is to beloaded, the scoop J .is f illed by backing the vehicle into the material to be loaded,- after which the :arms' K are swung'upward through the actuation "of the cable Mand associated mechanism, as before described; Durlng the 'upwaiu movementof' the scoop the'sprocketT is h Stationary the am- La-ncl roar and this,throughthemedium of the spro k chain s im/1101mm sprocket Q from turnin'g during the angularmovement of the arms K. "ConsequentlyQthe scoop ismaintailied 'horiz ontal 'positio n' until'after it is elevated above the body? To dumpthe load the .IOd X is operated so that thecani X will liftthe latchV and permit the "{movementbf the. r'odU, rock arm U and sprocket T. Such movement is efiected' either by the load in'the'scoop being unbalanced with atendency'jto dump the scoop, or "by means ofthe' lug Y on the*arm* K which, in the swinging of said arms, comes into contact with the arm U and actuates the same. 'fThus, byturning the sprocket T, will "actuate the chain' "Sand sprocket wheel-'R,
which willturn the scoopand dump the load; 'Wheathe arms K are lowered, the

scoop as a scraper. This may be accomplished by first releasing the bolt V and then operating the ratchet lever W to turn the ratchet wheel W and pinion WV, which latter actuates the rack U on the. rod U, turning the arm U, sprocket T, chain S and sprocket wheel R and vthereby revolving the scoop into a vertical'position. The parts are locked in this position by the re-engagement of the bolt V with the rack teeth of the rod U, which will hold the scoop from turning, while it is used at. a scraper or for other uses.
To facilitate the loading of barrels or similar articles into the wagon, the end gate of the body B, which is hinged at its lower end at B may be turned down so that its outer edge will rest in the scoop J when the arms K are raised into an in clined position. Thus articles, such as barrels, which are lifted by the scoop, will be automatically rolled down the end gate into the body of the vehicle.
The construction as described is one which may be readily attached to almost any standard construction of truck and can be operated by means already provided on the truck, such as the hydraulic hoist, which has However, it is not essential to my invention that the mechanism should be operated by a hydraulic hoist, as any mechanism driven by the motor may be employed for furnishing the necessary lift-- ing power.
