Title: Improvements in or relating to means for use in automatically guiding motor vehicles
IPC: B62D1/24
Filed: 1937-08-13
Abstract: 482,863. Guiding motor vehicles. HIDER, G. T. Aug. 13, 1937, No. 22334. [Class 79 (v)] [Also in Groups I and XXXVI] An electrically driven agricultural tractor 6 is supplied with power through cables 20, and is constrained to travel in a spiral path about a post 1 by the winding of these cables on or off insulated drums 4 fixed to the top of the post and connected with a power supply. The drums 4 have screw threads on their peripheries for accommodating the cables, and collars 9 carrying pulleys 13 and 14 for guiding the cables work on the threads. In a modification, a guide loop is used in place of the outer pulleys 14. In the case of an engine driven tractor, a single drum and cable only are used.

So that a load carrier 11 (Fig. 2) can be moved both on to and from a carrier vehicle by .operation of a winch 14 in the same direction, a pulley 20 can be moved to and from a position for engagement with the rope or chain hauled by the winch. In the form illustrated the pulley 20 is carried by a shaft 21 (Fig. 4), which can be moved by a handle 22 between the position shown in Fig. 4, in which a rope 16 is trained over it to serve to pull the load carrier on to the vehicle, and a position to the right of that shown in Fig. 4 in which it disengages the rope which then serves to pull the load carrier off the vehicle. The load carrier may be a wheeled platform or a wheeled container and may be connected to the rope by a device 19 as described in Specification 897,409. The winch 14 may be power-driven, or may be a manuallyoperated winch constructed as described in Specification 897,408, and preferably mounted on the offside. Specifications 703,581 and 897,405 also are referred to.

In this form, according to the Provisional Specification, the lever may have an extension serving to cover the keyhole in the knob, if such keyhole is provided. In both forms the lever is raised to effect release, and when depressed to the blocking position, exerts a cam action on the co-operating abutment to shoot the bolt positively if the usual bolt-shooting spring should fail. A spring tongue 17 holds lever 9. in each of its two positions.
