pnlleys: 5-, 5%, together: with, intergearedmeans from any suitable motor, which is notconsidered necessary; toaberset forth herein, the same: constituting onlydnstrumentalities wellknown in. this; class :of; devices: and for ailike'. purpose. The; lower and upper endsofgthe carryinga frame of the endless belt of l wagon; ers-positioned in. delivering its; loadf j arranged in the barn or. grain-depositary; in g buckets 3 are suitably equipped with a'chute,
01" b00t, 6, and spout? 7, respectively, the:
former, being-arranged -,toreceive grain as the same a may be; dumped thereinto' from'a wagonS, or otherwise, andthe spout adapted, to provide forktheidelivery ofthe elevated graininto a bin, all as.readilylappreciatcd. Also-,as inmy; application herein referred to; suitable block: and tackle and, rigging :9,
10, adapted to; co-operate I withi'hooked rod contrivancesrll adapted to engage theforward axle of the wagon 8, together: with a; hoisting rope or line 12, are providedtocooperate :fortiltingor dumping the wagon in depositing its contents into the elevator buckets,;as indicated in Fig.1., 7 7
As disclosed especially by Figs. 1 and 2,
upon its forward uprights or members, at
forming aitrackway upon which travel pethe drive-way or frame 1 has arranged a ripherally grooved rollers let, of the carriage 16, the stub shafts or axles 15'of which rollers are carried by horizontal bars or membersf16 provided with upright short or stub.
with their carrying frame and actuating gearing are adapted to be disposed in the dotted-line position, as shown especially in maybe termed channel-irons 21, and with which said end-projected portions of the shaft 20 engage and are guided when the elevator is being adjusted or moved, as stated, said shaft-extended portions being provided with rollers 20 traveling in contact. with the channel-irons. The transverse end barot the frame-work 13 is provided about centrally thereof with a pulley 17 This pulley 17 is connected to another pulley 18? on the bail 18 by means 01"" a cable 17 which froms a hoisting; means for raising the ele r vator to the dotted line position as indicated in Fig. 1.
In the operation of the device, the wagon is driven in from the right, as viewed in Fig. 1, under the conveyer while the same isin the raised position shown by the dotted lines. After the wagon has reached the position indicated in Fig. 1, the boot end of the conveyer frame is lowered to the position shown in full lines and the wagon may be caused to discharge its contents into the boot 6 by hoisting the front end of the wagon by means of thehoisting elements 9, 10, 11. At the be inning of the tilting movement of the wagon the operator actuates suitable controlled devices to start the conveyer 3 cansing the dumped grain to be elevated into a suitable bin (not shown) located in the upper end of the barn.
