In orderto meet these'v requirements which arepf'considerable practical importance, the

' f Otlier objects and advantages of'my invention will appear from the following detailed description. l ofA theyjembodimentfthereof the accornp'an'ying'drawings,V in which'l 'y Fi'gl a rear elevational view of the complete m'achine as employed in unloading a railway f Fig. 2;.is a side elevational View of the machine shownin'Fig.'V f j Y Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views of; certain of the driving elementsof the machine; and Fig. 5 is a detail view of a portion of the conveyor'and adjacent:V parts of the maan enlargedscale.' y p y Referring particularly to Figs. l and 2, the complete machineembodies amain frame l upon` which a tilting vmast structure 2 is pivotter,'is not shownin detail.
secured to the upper end of the tilting mast 2 atthe point 8. An elevatingconveyorrQ, of the bucket type for example, is suspended from the outer end of the boom 7. The bucket `conveyor may be of anyknown construction and may be angularly adjusted about the shaft lO'journalled in theboom 4''` and consti-` 0 i tuting a pivot for thejconveyor. The `eleva- 1 50 .In-` accordance -zwlth a furtherI `feature of:
tion. of-the'boOm-*Z s'controlld by a-movable' esv Y Y V6)A A frame 7 constituting aboom 1s pivotally supporting strut 11 extending between the boom and the mast structure 2.
A second conveyor frame 12 is provided for transferring the material elevated by the bucket conveyor 9 to the opposite side of the machine where the receiving car or truck is located. The conveyor frame 12 supportsra continuouslydriven belt 13 for this purpose. The conveyor frame 12 is further provided with guiding means 14 adjacent the belt 13 for preventing spilling of the material.
A shaft 15 is mounted on the elevating conveyor frame and provides a pivotal connection between the frames 9 and 12. A second shaft 16 is mounted in suitable brackets upon the tilting mast 2 and is adapted to support the rear end of the belt conveyor frame 12.
As shown, the frame 12 is slotted as indicated at 17 to embrace the shaft 16, suitable antifriction rollers being interposed between the frame and the shaft. i
In operation, the elevating conveyor and the belt conveyor `arecontinuously driven by the engine 5 through the chain 20. A suitable clutch 21 may be interposed between the engine 5 and the driving chain 20.
The chain 20 drives a second sprocket 24 supported upon a shaft 25 which is journalled in the upper end of the mast. A third sprocket 26 mounted upon the shaft 25 is driven by the sprocket 24 and is adapted to drive another sprocket 27 on the outer end of the boom 7 'through the chain 28. The sprocket 27 is mounted upon the shaft 10 already described. Driving sprockets 30 for the bucket conveyor 9 are also mounted upon the shaft 10 as shown in Fig. 5.
A sprocket 31 upon the opposite end of the shaft 10 from the sprocket 27 is adapted to drive a sprocket 32 upon the shaft 15 through the driving chain 33. The sprocket 32 is a double sprocket and serves to drive a sprocket 35 through a driving chain 36. The sprocket 35 is secured to a shaft 37 which supports a driving pulley 38 for the belt conveyor 13 as shown in Fig. 5. It will be noted that the pivotal points of the respective sprockets 27, 31 and 32 correspond to the pivotal connections between the boom and the elevating conveyor and between the two conveyor frames whereby relative movement of the elevating conveyor with respect to the boom or relative movement of the two conveyor frames do not affect the driving connections tothe respective conveyors.
lVhile the detailed arrangement of the conveyors and the driving connections therefor may be modified without departing from the scope of the invention, the general arrangement of the two cooperating conveyors and their correlation to each other are important featuresof the invention. The tilting of the mast structure 2 raises and lowers the end of the bucket elevator 9 and the angular position of the bucket elevator 9 aboutI the pivot point 10 may be adjusted by lateral movement of the cooperating conveyor frame 12 which engages the former at the point 15. Further vertical adjustment of the bucket elevator is provided for by raising and lowering the boom 7. It is therefore possible to adjust the position of the lower end of the bucket conveyor 9 both horizontally and vertically over a wide range without affecting the driving connections to the respective conveyors or the cooperative relationof said conveyors. The apparatus is flexible in operation and adapted to meet the various requirements of practical service while at the same time the ruggedness and simplicity of the construction is apparent. i
Suitable means, such as aprons or guide members 40 and 41, may be provided to prevent spilling of the material as it is dumped from the elevating conveyor to the belt conveyor.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention, means is provided for mechan ically adjusting the elevating conveyor 9 with reference to the body of material being handled by the agency of the engine 5. Two segmental gears 45 are rigidly secured to opposite sides of the lower end of the tilting mast structure 2 and are adapted to mesh with pinions 46 upon a shaft47 journalled in the frame 1. A worm gear48 ismounted upon the outer .end of shaft 47 as shown 1n Fig. 2, and is adapted to engage a worm 49 upon a shaft 50 also j ournalled in the frame. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, two bevel gears 51 and 52 are mounted upon the shaft 50. These gears are not keyed to the shaft but are adapted to rotate freely thereon. Both of the gears engage a driving gear 53 connected to the driving engine 5.
A clutch member 54 slidably mounted upon the shaft 50 but keyed thereto is adapted to provide a driving connection between either of the gears 51 or 52 and the shaft 50. The clutch member 54 and the gears 51 and 52 are providedwith engaging portions 55 for this purpose. The adjustment of the clutch member 54 may be effected in any desired manner, as by means of the usual collar mounted in the peripheral groove 56 of the clutch member. It will be noted that 'the gearing is adapted to reduce the driving speed in order that gradual and accurate control of the tilting mast may be effected.
The control ofthe raising and lowering of the boom 7 and the swinging of the bucket conveyor 9 is effected by Winches and cables driven by the engine 5 through suitable clutch mechanism. Two cable Winches or drums 60 and 61 are loosely journalled upon a shaft 62, as shownin Figs. 2 and 3. The shaft62 is driven by the engine 5 through ordinary reversing gear and when control is desired the` cable drums are clutched to the shaft to be rotated thereby. Two cable v drums 63 and 64,*are journalled upon'shafts 65 and 66, each of thesev cable drums embody-V ing large and small drum surfaces. From the larger portions of the drums, cables 67 and 68 extend tothe drums 60 and 61. A cable 69 extends from the smaller portion of the drum 68 and is secured to a frame member 7 O Vwhich is adapted to slide verticallyv upon the mast structure 2 andgtherebyY raise and lower the lsupporting strut l1V and the boom 7 connectedthereto. ner a cable 7l extends from the smaller portion of the drum 64 aroundthe pulleys 72 and 73 uponthe mast and belt conveyor frame respectively in such a manner as to control the lateral movement of theA .belt conveyor Y Yiframe andV the angular position of the dei tion with the mast toV adjust the elevation of pending ybucket conveyor 9. The pulley 72 is freely rotatable upon the shaft 16 and the pulley 73 isfreely rotatable upon a shaft v74, which also supports the outer end of the belt conveyor 13. It will be noted that the L relative diameters of the cable drums are such as to reduce thel speed ratio so that vgradual and accurate adjustment Vof the elements of the machine maybe readilyettected. The detailed construction of the cable drums, clutches and pulleys maybe variouslyrmodified and since suitable forms of such elements Vare known, the same are not shown in detail.
Various -modifications n A.of the apparatus shown and described above will occur to those skilled in the art and'I do notvdesire that the scope of the invention be limited except as limitations may be contained in the said conveyor, and additional means for adjusting the angular dependent position of the conveyor relative to the vertical mast;
