PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to the Loading and Carrying or Carting of
Hay, Grass, Corn, or the like.
I, JOHN GRETTON, of Stretton, Burton-on-Trent, Dealer in Agricultural
Implements, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My inventions consists firstly in adapting to the two side legs of what is known
as a "hay loader" wheels which serve to carry the weight, instead of this being
borne by the cart or waggon employed in connection with the loader. The cart or
waggon is thus exposed to no extra pressure behind which loading is going on.
The horse is likewise thereby relieved from belly band pressure, and the load can
be evenly balanced, and no difference arises when the loader is unhooked or
detached. The second head of my invention relates to improvements which 'I
have devised as useful accessories to the carts or waggons used in connection
with "hay loaders" (the former being connected to the latter by means of a hook
and chain or the like).
These said improvements under the second. head of my invention consist in the
employment of a protective side gearing or framing for the cart or waggon. This
side gearing or framing consists of rails bars or guards received in sockets and
extends considerably above the level of front and back of the cart or waggon used
in connection with the loader, and serves as an effectual provision against the
contingency of men falling off the load. This provision is a very usefull one seeing
that the work of stacking on the cart or waggon should go on as the loader proceeds
with its work and hence the necessity (both the loader and cart being in motion) of
protection against falling off. Amongst other contingent advantages accruing
from the adoption of my said invention under the second head thereof may be
mentioned the following; that is to say, no ropes are required to bind the hay, if
travelling long distances, no extra skill is required in stacking the hay, corn,
grass &c. on the conveyance.
The former has simply to be moved forward on to the latter and trod solid. I
find also that by carrying as I do the side gearing or framing above the front and
back of the conveyance, carts can be made evenly balanced for hilly ground.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to the Loading and Carrying or Carting of
Hay, Grass, Corn, or the like.
I, JOHN GRETTON, of Stretton, Burton-on-Trent, Dealer in Agricultural
Implements 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 :-
My invention consists firstly in adapting to the two side legs of what is known
as a "hay loader" wheels which serve to carry the-weight, instead of this being
borne by the cart or waggon employed in connection with the "loader." The cart
or waggon is thus exposed to no extra pressure behind whilst loading is going on.
The horse is thereby likewise relieved from belly band pressure, and the load can

be evenly balanced, and no difference arises when the "loader is unhooked or
detached.
The second head of my invention relates to improvements which I have devised
as useful accessories to the carts or waggons used in connection with "hay loaders."
The former being connected to the latter by means of a hook and chain or the like.
The said improvements under the second head of my invention consist in the
employment of a protective side gearing or framing for the cart or waggon. This
side gearing or framing consists of rails, bars, or guards, received in sockets and
extending considerably above the level of the front and back of the cart or waggon
used in connection with the "loader," and serves as an effectnal provision against
the contingency of men falling off the load. This provision is a very useful one
seeing that the work of stacking on the cart or waggon should go on as the "loader"
proceeds with its work and hence the necessity (both the "loader" and the cart being
in motion) of protection against falling off. Amongst other contingent advantages
accruing from the adoption of my said invention under the second head thereof
may be mentioned the following:-that is to say-no ropes are required to bind
the hay, if travelling long distances no extra skill is required in stacking the hay,
corn, grass, &c. on the conveyance.
The former has simply to be moved forward on to the latter and trodden solid.
I find also that by carrying as I do the side gearing or framing above the front
and back of the conveyance, carts can be evenly balanced for hilly ground.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will now proceed to describe same with reference to the accompanying
drawing which represents so much of a "loader" as will illustrate the portion of
my invention relating thereto, as well as a cart fitted with the protective framing
or guard forming the second part of this invention.
с
a is the "loader" to the two side legs b b of which I attach wheels c which serve
to carry the weight of the "loader and at same time allow of easy traction.
The "loader" may be attached by means of hooks and chains, or otherwise, to
the rear of the cart or waggon to be loaded. It is quickly detachable from one cart
or waggon and fastened to another, so that a number of waggons may be kept going
if desired.
dd are the side frames or gearing attached to the cart used in connection with
the "hay loader," and ee are the end frames. These frames as aforesaid consist
of rails or bars bolted together or otherwise connected in any suitable manner.
The side frames d d are formed so as to extend considerably above the level of the
front and back of the cart, the whole serving as an effectual provision against the
contingency of men falling off the load.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The side legs of the "loader" constructed and arranged with wheels c; and the
side frames or gearing de attachable to and detachable from the cart or waggon
used in connection with the "loader" ; and forming my improvements relating to
the loading and carrying or carting of hay, grass, corn, or the like; substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
.drawing.
