Application tiled August 1. 1923. Serial No. 655,105.

This invention relates to a cane loader, the general object ot' the invention being to provide means whereb)v it may he attached to a tractor and the drums of which can be actuated JfromI the tractor.

Another object ot the invention is to provide a boom which is rotatably connected with the supporting Jframe and which is also pivoted `to the traine so thatit can be raised and lowered. v

tui-ther objectf ot' the inventionl is to provide. means for making the grab" capable of being used for digging` ditches and the like as well as for handing cane. and the like.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter {ull}7 described. illustrated in the accompanying drawings and speciticall)r pointed out in the appended claim. ln describing my invention in detail. refeience will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views. and in which Figurenn isna yside view showing the iiivention attached to a tractor.

l'n these views. 1 indicates a i'raine which has its rear partsupportcd b v the wheels is a section on line :'iot' vFigirough an attachment 2. the spindles 3 of which are pivotally conv lnectedwith the axle 4t. a connecting har 4 .having its ends connected with the spindles so that the Wheels 2 will trail the, tractor. A tongue connects the axle with the draw bar ot the tractor which is shown at A.

r-ar axle ol the tractor. as Ishown at i.

sockets i'or ,members b v the bolts 34.

The front part -ot' the frame has the depending pieces tt which are connected with the v,\. tower S is carried b v the rear par! ol' the irame and a dolible pulley il is located at the top ot' the tower. An upright trame 1t) is connected with lthe front part oi` the supporting frame and a brace 11 connects this frame 10 with `the tower. turn-table 12 is ca rried b vthe frame l() and a boom lhas its lower end pivotally secured to the center ot' the turn-tab le. as shown at 14. 'l`he boom is connected with the brace b v the cable iti so that its inclination may be adjusted b v lengthe'i'iing or shortening the'cable- A\ double pulley 11T is carried b v' the upper end ot the boom. Drums 18 and 1S are. rotatably mounted on a shaft 1S) which is journaled in the supporting trame and which is connected vb v gears 2O with a. stub shaft 21. `Shat't 1t) is adapted to be driven trom titl the tractor b v means ot the chain 22 andthe i sprockets 23. Cables 24 and 24 a reA connected with said drums and these cables pass over the pulleys 9 and 17 and are connected with the grab 25.` This grab consists of the shatt 26, the pairs of jaw members 27, pivi otally mounted upon the shaft, and having their Vupper ends connected together by the rods 28 and the hars 29 and 29 which are connected with the cables 21 and`2ft. Flex.- ihle members 30 connect the bar 29 with the shaft 26 and flexible' members 31 connect the hars 2t) with one of the rods 28. Flexible members 32 connect a shaft 32', on one of the iaw inenil'icrs. with the har 29. The

parts are so arranged that wheri'the weight otthe grab is carried by the cable 24, which is connected with the har 2`9,the jaw mem bers will close hutwhen this' cable is slacked and the`weight comes upon the cable 24" one; set ot jaw members will be moved upwardly and thus the jaw members will be open so that the grab can grip the pile otcane.

'ln order to make the grab capable olf handling dii't I provide a pair of shovel attachments 33 which are provided with receiving the ends of the jaw members and which are attached to'said "hen the grab is provided with these attachmentsthe apparatus can be used :tor cleaning out ditches and the like.

The drums are adapted to be connected with and disconnected from the shaft 19 llt) wheel 5l on the stub shaft '2L by the clutch ineans 357 which are operated troni the levers .36 through the connections pair of cani projections l0 tor engaging canii shaped recesses 4l on the shaft 42 to which the brake, arni 1li-l is attached. These parts are so `arranged that when the clutches moved into inoperative position the brakes will he applied to the drums and rice versa. 'l`he clutch and brake means will permit. the cables 2l and 2J" to be nianil'iulated independentl)Y ot each other or together, as desired. .'l`he turn-table is actuated-by means ot the cable vH which engages a groove in the table and which after passing over guidingI pulleys 45 has its ends connected with the drunis le on a shaft 47. The cable. is oppositely wound on said druins so that as it is beingr slacked ott ot' one druin itis being wound upon lthe other. The sli-att 47 is provided with a slidingclutch 48, operated h y a handle 49 and provided with a pair ot' friction wheels 50 for Thus the shaft 4T can be rotated in either direction from the shaft 2l, by moving the 'handle 4 9 rin the proper direction.

@From the 'ahoveit will be seen that the ygrab-can be raised and lowered and opened engaging a friction.

and closed by the drains and that the liooin can be swung to anY desired position by ineans ot' the' (li-unis 4G. This will permit the load to be dropped in wagons and the like.

lt is thought. t'roin the foregoing descripn tion that the advantages and novel features ot' niy invention will be readily apparent.

l desire it to be understood that I may nialie changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts. provided that such changes tall within the scope ot the appended claim.

what l claim istln combination. a base, standards rising there'l'i'oin adjacent one endthe'reof, an iiiverted U-shaped support arranged adjacent the other end thereof, a turn table. mounted on the support, a hooni pivoted centrally on said table and projecting upwardly and out wardly therefrom, nieans :tor rotating said table a diagonallyY arranged brace rod terminally connected with thc upper ends of said standards and said support, a brace con-V necting' said rod and boom, pulleys supported by the standards and the outer end of said boom, and a cz ble trained over said pulleys as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I aitix'my signature.
