PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bogies, Sledges, or Carriers for Hay and other
Cut Crops.
1, CHARLES WEIR, Engineer, Strathaven in the County of Lanark, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
This invention relates to bogies, sledges or carriers for transporting hay and
other cut crops and the improvements have for object to facilitate the drawing and
delivery of the hay rick or other load off the bogie.
The improved bogie is composed of the usual platform mounted on wheels and
provided with horse shafts. Under the platform and transversely of it in front of
the carrying wheels a spindle is mounted on brackets or hangers and is fitted with
two rope barrels situated one on each side of the bogie framing. On the barrel
shaft or
spindle is a spur or other wheel driven through speed reducing gear from a
spindle furnished with a handle extending out from the side of the bogie. The
ropes wound on the barrels are carried along under the platform and round or over
guides or anchor pulleys fitted on the front end of the frame and terminate in grips
which are put round the rick or other load and hooked together.
On turning the handle the ropes are wound slowly on to the barrel and the load
dragged along and over the platform.
Instead of the two winding barrels and anchor pulleys a single central barrel and
a single anchor pulley may be fitted in the middle part of the front end of the
framing and the ropes may be connected through pulley blocks instead of gearing
to obtain the requisite power, or a winding barrel may be fitted on each side and
the ropes thereon connected through pulley blocks to the grips.
