END GATE FOE WAGONS.
(No Mqdeld No. 32l,891 Patented July 7, 1885.
UNITED STATES A'TEN'I ii FFIGEQ FRED F. EVERETT, OE VVEEPING WVATER, NEBRASKA.
EN D-GATE FOR WAGONS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,891, dated July 7, 1885.
Application filed April '23, 1885.
To all whom it mag concern:
Be itknown that I, FRED F. EVERETT, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at \Veeping Water, in the county of Cass and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in End-Gates for WVagons; and I do hereby declare the fol lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in end-gates for wagons; and it consists in the construction and combination of the parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my improved end-gate in a vertical position. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the same, showing the gate in an inclined position. Fig. 3 is a view showing the gate detached from the wagon-body.
A represents a wagon-body, the ends of the side-boards being provided with vertical cleats or battens a a, between which the or dinary end-gate is usually placed. To the outside of the side-boards, near their upper corners, are attached chains B B, one'of'sa'id chains being provided with a loop over which is placed a sliding ring, said loop carrying a cam-bar which is adapted to be inserted in the opposite link of the other chain. This finger or cam-bar is held in position by the sliding ring attached to the loop,which is slid over the same.
The end-gate proper, which is indicated by the letter 0, consists of an end or bottom piece, D, to the sides of which are attached inclined side pieces, (1 d. The end or bottom piece is re-enforced by cross-battens e e, the upper batten having attached at its ends straps f, the ends of which project beyond the same, and are formed into hooks f. The lower edge of the end-gate proper has se- (No model.)
curcly attached to the corners thereof cornerirons g g, from which project pivot-pins g, which engage with the recess formed between the vertical battens a a, attached to the inner ends of the side-boards. The lower transverse batten, e,which is attached to the lower side of the bottom piece, D, is of such a distance from the lower edge thereof that when the end-gate is placed in ahorizontal position this batten will abut against the outer edge of the bottom board of the wagonbody and hold the end-gate in a horizontal position.
then it is desired to use the endgate in an inclined position, as shown in Fig. 2, the
last links of the chains B B are placed over the hooks f,which will serve to hold the endgate in the position shown in Fig. 2 of the ac companying drawings.
When it is desired to hold the end-gate in a vertical position, the ends'of the chains are brought over the rear end of the wagon-body, so that the hooks f will be above the inner links of the chains, and said chains are then brought tightly together and secured. By this construction the side-boards 0f the wagonbody are held together and the end-gate is prevented from being raised vertically.
The end-gate hereinbefore described, besides being simple and cheap in construction, and adapted to be placed in the position hereinbe'fore described, will serve as a scoop or shoveling board for unloading the wagon.
I claim- 1. The improved end-gate for wagons herein described, consisting of a bottom board having side pieces attached thereto, and transverse battens e e, the lower corner of said endgate having projecting pins 9, the upper batten having hooks f, in combination with a wagon-body having vertical battens a a, and independent chains B B, each adapted to engage one of the hooks f, to support the endgate in an inclined position, so as to engage each other to maintain said gate in a vertical position, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
2. In combination with a wagonbody having vertical strips a a, attached to the inner sides of the sidc-board,and chains attached to the upper corner thereof, said chains being vertical or inclined position by means of said provided with connecting means, an end-gate chains, substantially as set forth. 10 having bottom boards and side pieces, the In testimony whereof Iaffix my signaturein lower corners of said end-gate having attached presence of two witnesses.
thereto angle-plates with projecting pins 9, FRED F. EVERETT. the transverse batten, c, with hooks f, and a \Vitnesses: lower transverse batten c, the parts being or- IIARVEY D. TRAVIS,
ganized so that the gate may be held in either a JNo. XV. CLARK.
