GEORGE E. ALLIS, OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.
RAILWAY woob AND COAL LOADER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,775, dated December 12, 1882.
Application filed July 19, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern 4 Be it known that I, GEORGE B. ALLIs, a citizen of the United States of America, re-
siding at Little Rock, in the county of Pulaski until the counter-weights and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in RailwayWood and-Goal Loaders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to railway" wood and coal elevators and du'mpers; and it consists in the construction and arrangement ofthe several parts, as will be hereinafter'morefully set forth in the specification andclaims, and pointed out in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of my de vice; Fig. 3, an end elevation 'ot'same, and Fig. 4, a plan view of the elevating-car.
The device here presented is an improvement on the one granted to me in Letters Patent of the United States, April 11, 1882, No. 256,452.
In the drawings, A represents the posts or uprights of the frame, and B the platform supporting the car D. Guide-pieces b are secured to the sides of the platform and move up and down in the openings between the posts A. On the platform 13 is a track, consisting of the rails E, rigidly secured to the platform, and the pivoted rails E, the outer ends of which have the supporting-arms F and hooks H, the use of which will hereinafter appear. Ropes or chains R are secured to each side of the platform B, as r, Fig. 1, and thence pass over pulleys L to drums S on shaft T of the winding mechanism M. Cords or ropes g pass over the pulleys h of the frame, and are sccuredto counter-weights G at one end and to the pivoted rail E at the other end. Cords or ropes Q, are also secured to the rail E and to the rear end of the car.
The device, being placed conveniently near the railroad-track, is operated as follows: The platform B and car D are lowered to theirlowest position between the guides A, the pivoted ends of the track E bein graised in a vertical position, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The. car is then loaded with wood or coal. The car is intended generally to hold about a cord of wood or a ton of coal. Then, by means of the winding mechanism Mthe platform and car are elevated G are stopped by the pulleys it. When in this position the pawl 11 and ratchet 0 will prevent the backward movement of thewinding mechanism. Next, pull down the track-pieces E until the feet F rest on the edge of the tender or car. This will give the track an incline and allow the car to run down the track until the front wheels are caught by the hooks H. A slight pressure on the front edge of the car will dump the load, and as the stay-chains Q will not allow the car to turn over it will turn back on the track, and as soon as the platform is lowcred the car will run back down the track to the platform, and the counter-weights G will cause the track E{ to again assume a; vertical position.
It will thus be seen that the car is automatically run out and dumped and automatically returned to its normal position to be reloaded. When an engine arrives at a station the fireman can pull down the track, the same as a water-pipe, the car runs out, and a load of wood or coal can be dumped in the space of one minute. Consequently a greatsaving of time is effected.
. Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A railway wood'and coal elevator provided with a movable platform and adjustable rails for the dumping-car, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a railway wood and coal elevator, the combination of the supporting-frame, a movable platform, and dumping-car, with adjustable rails, which are raised and lowered by the raising and lowering of the platform and car, substantially as set forth.
3. In a railway wood and coal elevator pro vided with a dum ping-car and suitable actuating mechanism for same, a track, E E, provided with foot-rests F, and a suitable device for catching and holding the car when the same has been dumped.
4. In a railway wood and coal elevator, the combination of the supporting-frame provided with pulleys and ropes for elevating the car and platform, a suitable actuating mechanism, and pivoted rails, which are antomaticall y lowered when the car has been dumped, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereofl affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEQRGE B. ALLIS.
