3g8 nXLlV.T OF HORSES FALLEN IK LOADED CARTS. 



Advantages derivable from this Invention: 

 Ad\Tintages, 1. — The invention is of itself so simple, and the opera- 



tion so conspicuous at the first view, that the whole process 

 may be easily comprehended and executed. 



2. — The apparatus may be fitted with little difficulty to 

 any cart now in use for heavy loads, such as bricks, eoals^ 

 corn, or the like. 



3. — The chains, which lead from the uprights at the back 

 part of the cart to the fore part of it on each side, are for 

 the purpose of taking the purchase therefrom, and making 

 the back part of the cart act as a lever at the time the horses 

 are drawing behind, which without fail, with the strength 

 of one, two, or three horses fastened there to raise the one 

 which is down in the shafts, will instantly assist him to get 

 upon his feet. 



4' — The number of horses to draw a cart are usually in 

 proportion to the weight contained therein; therefore.su p# 

 posing three horses are employed to draw it, and the shaft 

 horse falls, the carman has only to luihook the two leaders, 

 and then hook them to the short chain at each side of the 

 back of the cart, and with their strength the fallen horse 

 will be so relieved from the weight, as to r^ise hioqself 

 without farther assistance. 



5.= — The same principle may be applied in diiferent ways 

 from what I have shown in the model; for instance, another 

 mode may be adopted by framing the tail-board of the cart 

 gtrong enough to bear the purchase; and, with the use of 

 the two side chains above mentioned, it may be made to an- 

 swer the purpose. 



Another plan, though more expensive, is by obtaining two 

 wrought iron uprights to be fixed as substitutes for the 

 truss staffs at the back part of the cart, with a hole in th« 

 top of each to receive an iron rod, which is occasionally /o 

 be introduced, reaching from one side of the cart to ihe 

 pther, c6nnecting the two uprights together; when in ao, 

 ^pn the two side chains to be used a^ in other cases.
