DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the drawings, the numerals 1, l designate posts seated in postholes formed in concrete foundations, as 2, in the earth 3. A collar 4 is seated in the foundation and has a hinged line 5 thereon, which may be employed to close the opening when the post is removed for use at another location.
The post 1 is tubular, and has the telescoping member 6 mounted therein, which consists of the angle irons 7, 7 mounted on an extension as 8, with the wheels 9, 9 mounted between the angle irons 7, 7 and extending outwardly from the extended margins thereof, in contact with the post 1, which is rotatable by means of the crank 11, and a line 12 leads from the winch to the bottom of the telescoping member 6, and a coil spring as 13 rests on the internal flange 14 at one end, the other end of which bears against the lower end of the member Multiple cables, as 15, extend from the crossarm 16, mounted on the upper end of the extension 8, to the other post as 1 which may be of integral sections and terminates with a crossarm 16' and the cables 15 extend through suitable ports in the crossarm 16 and have a stop formed on the extended ends of the cables 15 against which the washers 61 bear, and coil springs 62, 62 abut said washers at one end and the crossarm 16' at the other end, making the cables 15 yieldable, as the extension 8 in the post 1 moves vertically, and a carriage 17 reciprocates on the cables between the posts 1 and 2, the cables 15, 15 extending through the carriage 17 and the carriage being mounted on the cables 15, 15 by means of the mounts formed by securing one set of angle irons, as 18, 18 to the carriage as by welding one margin of the uppermost set thereof to the carriage framework and securing another set of angle irons 19, 19 to the fixed set as by means of suitable bolts (not shown) said bolts extending through the abutting walls of the angle iron sets 18, I9 and spaced apart to permit free rotation of the rollers 20, 20 mounted between said walls, said rollers having a concave bearing surface in contact with the cables 15, 15.
Integral with the carriage 17 is the transverse carriage housing 21 which is tubular and has the downwardly extended skirts 22, 22 extending from the margins of the longitudinal slot 23. Antifriction rollers 24, 24 are transversely mounted in the skirts 22, 22 and are of sufiicient diameter to bear against and steady the hanger 25 as it reciprocates in the housing 21. A rod, or track, 26, extends axially and longitudinally in the housing 21. Yieldable members, such as the springs 27, 27 are mounted in the housing 21 adjacent the respective ends thereof, and against which the hanger 25 bears as it moves longitudinally in the housing 21.
The hanger 25 has the angle iron tracking means 28 having the rollers 29 thereof riding on the bar 26. Caps 30, 30 close the housing 21, and permit selective changing of the springs 27 to alter the resistance against the hanger 25, as desired.
Pivotally suspended from the hanger 25 is a tackle dummy support 31 which has a transverse tubular spring housing 32 and which has the downwardly extending integral tubular section 33 which when the dummy is being used for a blocking dummy, telescopes into the reinforcing member 34, which is of less outside diameter, and therefor may be selectively mounted in the hard rubber connecting section 35. Bolt holes, as 36, 36, in the section 33, receive the bolts 37, 37 when the tackle dummy is to be used as a blocking dummy, in which case the member 34, which is a rigid metal tube, is lowered into the section 35, after the bolts 37 are removed from the section 35, and when the bolt holes 31 are in alignment with the bolt holes in the section 35, the bolts are again inserted therein, deactivating the spring 37. The spring 37 is anchored at one end to the rotatable rod 38 in the housing 31 and at its other end to the housing 31, a line 39 is secured at one end to the rod 38, and at its other end to the bolts 37, such as by means of an eyelet 40. When being used as a tackle dummy, the reenforcing member 34 is removed and the bolts 37 are mounted in the section 35 and the line 39 secured to said bolts, and when the user hits the dummy, the dummy is forced down, the spring 37 is wrapped around the rod 38 and placed under tension, and when the user releases the dummy, the spring will rotate the rod 38 and return the section 35 to the section 33, the outwardly flared ends of the section 35 guiding the end of the section 33 into the section 35. Washers 63, 63 may be mounted on the rod 38, enclosing the line 39, to prevent fouling with the spring 37.
In operation, when used for football practice, the tackling dummy is suspended from the hanger 25, and the extension 8 is elevated to cause the carriage 17 to move by gravity towards the opposite post. As the carriage moves on the cables ,15, the dummy will move transversely, and when reaching the end of one transverse movement, will strike the spring at the end of the carriage housing and be urged in the opposite direction. As a player tackles the dummy, the force of the blow and the weight of the player, will be exerted against the spring 37, the
In the modified form, shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, provision is made for making the movement of the carriage continuous, such as around a building, or other given area, and in this form, the carriage 41 rides on the cables 42 and the angle mounted in said members 48 and bear against the cable connectors 50, which consist of the cable end receiving member 51, which is tubular and has the internal teeth 52, and an internal flange in the cable receiving member provides a stop for the swivel sleeve 54, pivotally mounted to the shaft 55, said shaft extending through the bore in the upper portion of the member 50. The extended end of the shaft 55 is externally threaded and mounted on the threaded end thereof is the adjusting member 56, which is internally threaded and has a portion of its external surface squared as at 57 to receive a wrench for rotation, and the extended end of said member has the cable clamp 58 which will receive the end of the next sec tion of cable. The shafts 48 adjust the connector 50 transversely in the channel members 48. Friction wheels as 63 mounted in the downwardly extending walls of the irons 44, 44 bear against the outside walls of the connector 50, stabilizing the movement of the carriage over the posts 46.
Where it is desired to move the carriage over great areas or around a building, the carriage passes over the posts 46, riding on top of the cables 42. One end of the cable section is anchored to the adjusting post, and the other end compressed and inserted into the receiving member 51; the adjusting member 56 is then rotated until the cable 42 is tight, then the members 51 and 56 are anchored to the members 48 by welding, filling in the area between the respective members 51, 56 and the member 48, as shown at 59, 59. The end of the next section of cable 42 is then clamped to the swivel 58 and the operation repeated until the construction is completed.
As the carriage 41 moves over the cables 42, it will be free to travel continuously over the great areas or around a building, the wheels 45 riding on the cables 42 and the connectors 50 when passing over the supporting, intermediate posts 46, with the friction wheels 63 hearing against the sidewalls of the connector 50.
The carriage, when so used, may be of sufficient strength to transport people, or workmen and their equipment, and such a carriage may be moved by gravity, by placing the vertically adjustable post in alternate relation with the fixed post, or the carriage may be equipped with self-powering equipment, one or more of the wheels being rotated.
