AWILLIAM MCEVOY, OF EQUALITY, ILLINOIS.
PORTABLE ROOF FOR HAY AND GRAIN RICKS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,934, dated September 5, 1882.
Application filed May 1, 1832. (No model.) Y
To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, WILLIAM MGEVOY, of Equality, in the county of Gallatin4 and State ot' Illinois, have invented a new and ImprovedV Portable Roof for Hay and Grain Ricks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. y
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved portable roof for hay and grain ricks, which rooting can be built up or relnoved very easily and rapidly, and can be folded very colnpactly for storage.
The invention consists of' a roof' for ricks of hay or other material, formed ot' two root' sides held together by devices hereinafter fully described and setforth.
Reference is to be had tothe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is a perspective view ot'my improved portable I'oof for hay and grain licks. Fig. 2 is a detail cross-sectional elevation of the saine. Fig. 3 is a detail elevation of a part ot' a modification of the saIne. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the hook-rod for holding the roof-sections ou the rick.
Ihc rafters A are provided at each longitudinal edge with a series of apertures, B, adapted to receive the upper hooked ends, (l, of straps D, attached to the ends ot' the inner surfaces ot' the roof-boards E in such a manner that these hooks project inward from the upper edges ofthe boards, the lower ends, F, of the straps or bands D projecting from the lower edges of the boards. The boards E are overlapped, as shown in Fig. 1, the hooks G being passed into the apertures B, and the lower ends, F, ofthe bands or straps D being passed through staples H on the upper sur-` faces of the boards E, near the upper edges, whereby the boardsE will be held on the raft- QIS.
It' desired, the hooks O can be dispensed with, and the rafters are provided with staples I, projectingthrough apertures J in the boards, and tongues K,projecting from the lower ends of the boards E, are passed through these staples I after the staples have been passed through the apertures J in the boards E.
The rods L are forced into the hay or other material through the apertures B, through which the hooks C pass, or through separate apertures O, in such a manner that the hooks or barbs M catch on the hay or other material, and the heads or Across-pieces N rest against the outer surfaces of the rootsections. It' desired, this root' can also be supported by posts with suitable frame-Work, by which means a cheap and efficient shelter may be obtained for implements, machinery, or live stock.
The upper board, E, of one side is to be extended over the ridge to protect the same. This root' can be erected very rapidly and easily, and can he folded very coinpactly for storage when not in use.
This roof very effectua-lly protects the hay, straw, clover, or other material in the rick from rain or snow, and as the size of the rick is decreased the sections of the roof can be rcmoved successively.
The entire sides of the roof can be stored away; or the boards can be detached from the rafters, and the detached boards and rafters can then be stored.
No nails, bolts, or screws are required to secure the boards on the rafters, and these boards can thus be attached or removed very easily and rapidly.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the roof-boards E, lapping one upon another, of the straps D, Secured to the under side of said boards, provided with the` hooks C at one end, and projecting at the other end beyond the edge of the boards, and the staples H, as shown and described.
V2. rJhe combination, with the lapping roofboards E, of the staples H, and the straps D, held at one end beneath said staples, and at the other end by the hooks G, engaging holes B in the rafters A, which are hinged together at b, as shown and described.
WILLIAM MCEvoY.
