Abstract
A wagon for transporting grain and other particulate matter. The wagon is adapted to be attached to a tow vehicle. The wagon has a container which is provided with a forward wall. Within the container is a conduit. The conduit has a part which protrudes outwardly from the container and forwardly from the forward wall. Within the conduit is an auger. Pivotally attached to the part of the conduit which extends outwardly from the forward wall is a conduit extension member. The conduit extension member is pivotally movable to a position extending from the forward wall. Within the conduit extension member is an auger extension member. The auger extension member is operatively connected to the auger when the conduit extension member extends from the forward wall. Thus, a condition is established for discharging grain from the container of the wagon. The conduit extension member is pivotally movable to a position closely adjacent the forward wall. Thus, a condition is established for movement of the wagon upon a highway. The conduit extension member is thus always positioned for observation by the operator of the tow vehicle.

Description
Background of the Invention
A grain wagon is adapted to contain grain or other particulate matter. The wagon is adapted to be attached to a tow vehicle. The wagon comprises a container. In order to readily remove the contents of the container, an auger type of mechanism is employed within the container. The auger mechanism includes a conduit. The conduit, with the auger, extends from the container so that the contents of the container can be discharged to a position spaced from the wagon. The conduit cannot extend from the wagon during travel of the wagon along a highway or road. Therefore, the conduit must have an extension portion which is movable to a position adjacent the wagon. The conduit extension portion also has an auger member therein. Auger operation and movement of the conduit extension are powered by means having an energy source in the tow vehicle. The energy source is controlled by the operator of the tow vehicle.
In the past, grain wagons have been provided with conduit extension portions which are pivotally movable between a position extended from the container portion of the wagon and which are also movable to a position adjacent the container portion of the wagon.
It is desirable that the operator of the tow vehicle be able to observe the conduit extension and in all positions of the conduit extension member. In the past, grain wagons have been provided with conduit extension members which have not been readily observable by the operator of the tow vehicle in all positions of the conduit extension member.
Grain wagons have been constructed in which a conduit extension is positioned at the forward portion of the wagon, and is readily observable by the operator of the tow vehicle. However, such grain wagons have had two augers. A first auger feeds the second auger. Such structure is costly to produce and involves additional service problems.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a grain wagon which has unload means which includes a single auger unit and which has a movable conduit extension member which is observable by the operator of the tow vehicle in all positions of the conduit extension member.
It is another object of this invention to provide such a grain wagon which can be constructed at relatively low costs.
Other objects and advantages of this invention reside in the construction of parts, the combination thereof, the method of production and the mode of operation, as will become more apparent from the following description.
Summary of the Invention
This invention comprises a grain wagon which includes means for unloading the grain from the wagon. The wagon includes a container having internal walls which slope downwardly and inwardly and which direct the grain toward the bottom of the container. An auger has a lower portion at the bottom of the container. The auger extends upwardly within the container. The auger is enclosed by a conduit. The upper part of the conduit and auger therewithin protrudes from a front wall of the container.
A conduit extension member is pivotally attached to the protruding portion of the conduit and is movable to a position extending from the container. The conduit extension member is also movable to a position along the front wall of the container. Within the conduit extension member is an auger extension member.
When the conduit extension member extends from the container, the auger extension member is operably connected to the auger, for rotation of the auger extension member with rotation of the auger. Thus, conditions are established for discharging grain from the container. When the conduit extension member is adjacent the front wall of the container, conditions are established for movement of the wagon upon a highway or the like without interference with other vehicles upon the highway.
Motor means are provided for pivotal movement of the conduit extension member. The motor means are operated by an energy source carried by the tow vehicle. The energy source is controlled by the operator of the tow vehicle. An energy source carried by the tow vehicle also operates the auger and is controlled by the operator of the tow vehicle. The auger is operated for unloading of grain from the container.
Due to the fact that the conduit extension member is positioned at the front part of the grain wagon in all positions thereof, the conduit extension member is clearly observable by the operator of the tow vehicle in all positions of the conduit extension member. Thus, maximum efficiency and safety in movement of the conduit extension member and in unload operation and in wagon travel are possible.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
FIG. 1 shows a grain wagon 12 of this invention. The grain wagon 12 has a support frame 14 which is attachable to a tow vehicle 20. The grain wagon 12 has wheels 16 which support the support frame 14. The support frame 14 supports a body or container 30 which has side walls 30a and 30c, and a front wall 30b and a back wall 30d. All of the walls 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d slope downwardly and inwardly and terminate at the lowermost part of the container 30.
Shown in FIG. 5, below the side wall 30a and below the back wall 30d is a gear box 38. Operably attached to the gear box 38 is a power take-off shaft 40, shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5. The power take-off shaft 40 extends from a power source 42 which is carried by the tow vehicle 20. The power take-off shaft 40 is also shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4.
Shown in FIG. 5 extending from the gear box 38 and extending through the back wall 30d is a drive shaft 46 which carries an auger 50. The auger 50 is within a conduit 54 which rests upon the side wall 30a and the front wall 30b. The conduit 54 extends upwardly from the lowermost part of the container 30. The lower part of the conduit 54 engages the back wall 30d. The lower part of the conduit 54 and the lower part of the auger 50 are thus adjacent the walls 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d, at the lowermost part of the container 30.
The lower part of the conduit 54 has an opening 58 therein. Covering the opening 58 is a cover member 60 which is axially movable along the conduit 54. The cover member 60 is supported by a bar 62 which is attached to the wall 30d and extends along the lower part of the conduit 54. The cover member 60 is movable to close and to open the opening 58.
An elongate fluid motor 64 is attached to the conduit 54 and has an actuator rod 66 which is attached to the cover member 60. The fluid motor 64 has fluid conductors 65 and 67 attached thereto for flow of fluid into and out of the fluid motor 64 for operation of the fluid motor 64. Also attached to the cover member 60 is an actuator rod 68 which extends upwardly from the cover member 60 and along the conduit 54. The actuator rod 68 has an indicator flag 70 attached thereto.
The upper end of the shaft 46 is supported by a bearing member 74 which is carried by the conduit 54, as shown in FIG. 5. The bearing member 74 is adjacent the upper portion of the conduit 54. At the upper end of the shaft 46 and rotatable therewith is a connector member 76.
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the upper portion of the conduit 54 protrudes outwardly from the container 30 from a position between the front wall 30b and the side wall 30a, but primarily from the front wall 30b. The protruding part of the conduit 54 has a flange 77, which is at the upper end of the conduit 54.
A hinge device 78 is attached to the flange 77 at the upper part of the conduit 54. The flange device 78 is also attached to a flange 79 which is attached to a conduit extension member 80. The conduit extension member 80 extends from the conduit 54. Within the conduit extension member 80 is an auger extension member 84 which is supported by an auger extension shaft 86. A connector member 89, best shown in FIG. 6, is attached to the auger extension shaft 86, adjacent the flange 79 and is adapted to operably mesh with the connector member 76 which is attached to the shaft 46 of the auger 54.
The conduit extension member 80 has an end portion 88, shown in FIG. 5, which encloses the outer end of the conduit extension member 80. The auger extension shaft 86 is rotatably supported within the end portion 88 of the conduit extension member 80. The auger extension shaft 86 extends through the end portion 88. Attached to the shaft 86 external of the end portion 88 and rotatable with the shaft 86 is an engagement plate 90. A bracket 92 is attached to the end portion 88 and has attached thereto a plurality of spring members 94. The auger extension shaft 86 and the auger extension member 84 are axially movable within the conduit extension member 80. The spring members 94 apply pressure upon the plate 90 and urge the auger extension shaft 86 and the auger extension member 84 toward the flange 79 of the conduit extension member 80.
Attached to the conduit extension member 80 adjacent the flange 79 is a support strip 93 which has indicator elements 95 and 96 attached thereto, as best shown in FIG. 8. The indicator element 95 is labeled "closed", and the indicator element 96 is labeled "open".
The end portion 88 of the conduit extension member 80 and a portion 97 thereof form a spout 98 at the end portion 88 of the conduit extension member 80.
Pivotally mounted upon the exterior surface of the front wall 30b of the container 30 is a fluid motor 100. The fluid motor 100 has an actuator rod 102 which is pivotally attached to the conduit extension member 80. The fluid motor 100 has fluid conductors 104 and 106 connected thereto for flow of fluid into and out of the fluid motor 100 for operation of the fluid motor 100.
The fluid conductors 104 and 106, which are connected to the fluid motor 100, and the fluid conductors 65 and 67, which are connected to the fluid motor 64 within the container 30, are joined to a fluid pump, not shown, which is carried by the tow vehicle 20.
FIGS. 1, 3, and 4 show the conduit extension member 80 positioned in a rest position at the forward part of the body 30 and closely adjacent the front wall 30b. In this position the outer part of the conduit extension member 80 rests upon a bracket 108 which is attached to the front wall 30b. In this position of the conduit extension member 80 the grain wagon 12 is in condition for movement along a highway or road.
When it is desired to discharge grain from the grain wagon 12 the fluid motor 100 is operated by fluid flow through the fluid conductors 104 and 106. The actuator rod 102 is extended from the fluid motor 100 and the conduit extension member 80 is forced to pivotally move from the position thereof shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4 to the position thereof shown in FIG. 2. When the conduit extension member 80 is positioned as shown in FIG. 2, the conduit extension member 80 extends angularly forwardly from the upper front portion of the container 30.
When the auger member 50 is inactive within the container 30, the cover member 60 covers the opening 58 in the conduit 54. Thus, grain 110 within the container 30 cannot engage the auger 50. When it is desired to discharge grain 110 from the container 30, the conduit extension member 80 is positioned as shown in FIG. 2. As stated above, the fluid motor 100 moves the conduit extension member 80. When the cover member 60 covers the opening 58 in the conduit 54, the flag 70 which is attached to the rod 68 is positioned adjacent the indicator element 95, which is labeled "closed". This is clearly visible to the operator of the tow vehicle 20.
To operate the auger 50, the power take-off shaft 40 is rotated by control of the operator of the tow vehicle 20. Rotation of the power take-off shaft 40 rotates the shaft 46, through the gear box 38. Due to the fact that the conduit extension member 80 is in alignment with the conduit 54, the auger extension member 84 is in alignment with the auger 50. However, the auger extension member 84 may not be operably connected to the auger 50. The spring members 94, at the end portion 88 of the conduit extension member 80, urge the auger extension shaft 86 and the connector member 89, which is attached thereto, toward the shaft 46 of the auger 50. As the shaft 46 rotates, the connector member 76 at the end portion of the shaft 46 comes into alignment with the connector member 89 of the shaft extension member 86. As this occurs, the connector member 76 of the shaft 46 meshes with the connector member 89 of the shaft extension member 86. Thus, the shaft extension member 86 becomes operably coupled to the shaft 46, and the auger extension member 84 rotates with rotation of the shaft 46 and the auger 50.
After this rotative movement of the shafts 46 and 86 has commenced, the fluid motor 64 is operated through the fluid conductors 65 and 67, and the actuator rod 66 moves the cover member 60 upwardly along the conduit 54. Thus, the cover member 60 is moved from the opening 58. When the fluid motor 64 moves the cover member 60 to an open position, the rod 68 is moved, and the indicator flag 70 is moved from a position adjacent the indicator element 95, "closed", to a position adjacent the indicator element 96, which is labeled "open". This is clearly observable by the operator of the tow vehicle 20.
When the cover member 60 is moved from the opening 58, grain 110 falls downwardly into the conduit 54 and is moved upwardly by rotation of the auger 50 within the conduit 54. The grain 110 moves from the auger 50 to the auger extension member 84, within the conduit extension member 80. The grain 110 is moved by the auger extension member 84 to the spout 98 and is discharged therefrom, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Due to the fact that the conduit extension member 80 is angled forwardly from the container 30, the operator of the tow vehicle 20 can readily observe the discharge of grain 110 from the conduit extension member 80.
As shown and discussed, the conduit extension member 80 is positioned at the front part of the container 30. Therefore, when the conduit extension member 80 is in the rest position thereof as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the operator of the tow vehicle 20 can readily observe the conduit extension member 80. Furthermore, when the conduit extension member 80 is pivotally moved from the position thereof shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4 to the position thereof shown in FIG. 2, the operator of the tow vehicle 20 can readily observe the entire movement of the conduit extension member 80.
Thus, it is understood that a single auger unit comprising an auger 50 and an auger extension member 84, and a single conduit unit comprising a conduit 54 and a conduit extension member 80 are employed in this invention. The conduit extension member 80 is positioned so that an operator of the tow vehicle 20 can readily observe the conduit extension member 80 at all times and can observe the flow of grain 110 from the conduit extension member 80.
Although the preferred embodiment of a grain wagon of this invention has been described, it will be understood that within the purview of this invention various changes may be made in the form, details, proportion and arrangement of parts, the combination thereof, and the mode of operation, which generally stated consist in a structure within the scope of the appended claims.
