We, JOHN BENJAMIN MOORHOUSE and SAMUEL HEY, both of, 34 Broughton Road,
Skipton-in-Craven, Yorkshire, Mechanical Engineers, do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO WHEELED VEHICLES
USED FOR THE MANUAL REMOVAL OF SACKS, BOXES, AND SIMILAR OTHER UNWIELDY
ARTICLES, THE SAME BEING KNOWN AS SACK CARTS OR SACK TRUCKS, to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements in the construction of sack-carts or sack-
trucks whereby the weight as well as the cost of production thereof, is greatly
diminished.
To accomplish this we construct as many parts of the said sack-carts or sack-trucks
as is found practicable, of metal tubing, the said tubular parts being joined together,
wherever necessary, by suitably shaped screwed-joining pieces," or the said parts
may be made to fit cach other or to fit additional pieces and he rivetted or bolted
together or again they may he joined by molten metal being run so as to adhere to
and so combine the ends of the said tubular parts together.

page_text: We JOHN BENJAMIN MOORHOUSE and SAMUEL HEY both of 34 Broughton Road
Skipton-in-Craven, Yorkshire, Mechanical Engineers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists of improvements in the construction of sack carts or sack
trucks, whereby the weight as well as the cost of production thereof is greatly
diminished. And in order that this said invention may be more readily understood
we have hereunto appended a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein fig. 1
is front and fig. 2 is side elevation, while fig. 3 is a detail drawing hereinafter
referred to.
The object is attained by constructing as many parts of the said sack-carts or sack-
trucks as is found practicable, such as parts aaaa, of metal tubing. The said tubular
parts a aa a being joined together by suitably shaped screwed joining pieces bb bb,
or these parts may be formed on the tubes themselves instead of being separate, or
instead of being screwed they may be rivetted as shewn by fig. 3, or again bolts may.
be employed in place of rivets. When the paris bbbbare screwed to form joining
pieces, the pieces bb have right hand threads, while pieces have left hand
threads, or vice versa, in order to facilitate fixing.
Again these joints may be made by running molten metal so as to adhere to and
so combine the ends of said tubular parts aa aa together, which process is usually
styled chilling."
$
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
1. The use and employment of metal tubing in the construction of sack-carts or
sack-trucks substantially as herein shewn and described.
2. The various methods of joining metal tubing to form portions of sack-carts or
sack-trucks substantially in the manner as herein shewn and described.
