Ctoss Section View and Description of Locking 

 Mechanism in Carry-All Hay Sling Carrier. 



A portion of tlie frame is broken away to show 

 the arrangement of the grip to hold the hoisting 

 rope and prevent the sling load from dropping down 

 while the carrier is running along the track. 



Carry-All Sling Carrier — Continued 



The work of the Rope Lock is supplemented by a ratchet lock on the Rope Wheel. When the Rope 

 Lock goes into action the ratchet lever drops into place and prevents the Rope Wheel from turnmg 

 backward. This aids the Rope Lock and prevents wear on the rope. 



Ten-Inch Roller-Bearing Rope Wheel 



The Rope Wheel in the Carry-All Carrier is 10 inches in 

 diameter and is roller bearing. This is the largest Rope 

 Wheel used in any hay carrier and is an important improve- 

 ment. The large roller-bearing wheel reduces friction and 

 makes it possible to lift heavier loads with less power. 

 Also the empty sling can be brought back to the wagon 

 with less effort and pulling on the ropes than any other 

 sling carrier. 



The frame of the carrier is of the Louden Swivel Type. 

 The same principle is used in the swivel as in use on all 

 our swivel carriers. (See Fig. 7, page II.) It will work 

 with equal satisfaction and efficiency in barns having a 

 center driveway or where hay is taken up at one end. In 

 center-drive barns the change from one end to the other is 

 easily and quickly made. The pulley in one end of the 

 barn is changed over to the other end; the carrier can then 

 be swiveled around from the barn floor. No climbing up 

 to the carrier necessary. 



The track wheels are 3 inches in diameter on tread and 

 are heavy and of great strength. There are eight track 

 wheels on each carrier working on oscillating "engine 

 trucks". This distributes the load evenly on the track 

 and insures that every wheel is going to run true and carry 

 its share of the load. 



The sling pulleys carry the load at right angles to the 

 track. This is important as the hay is delivered into the 

 mow just as it comes from the wagon. When the hay is 

 dropped it spreads out broadly at right angles to the track, 

 requiring less labor and time to mow it back. 



The locking dog in the carrier has a square catch which 

 engages the trip block bolted to the track. The carrier is 

 held positively on the trip while the load is being elevated. 

 When the load is pulled up and the sling pulleys strike the 

 trip stirrup the carrier automatically releases from the trip, 

 the rope lock is thrown into action holding the load so it 

 cannot slip back. When the carrier leaves the trip it runs 

 easily and steadily and after the hay is dropped in the mow 

 the carrier is returned to the trip block with scarcely an 

 effort. (We recommend using a weight return for returning 

 the empty carrier. See Fig. 529, page 1 9.) 



The Louden Carry-All Hay Sling Carrier, the Louden 

 Carry-All Hay Sling (see Fig. 984, page 42), and a Louden 

 Power Hoist (page 34), make the best hay-unloading outfit 

 ever offered for handling big loads of hay. 



Closing The 



Hay Door With A 



Sling Carrier 



When it is desired to close the hay mow door 

 with the Carry-All. or any similar sling carrier, the 

 sling pulleys should be attached to the door in the 

 manner shown by Fig. 1302. 



The door should be lifted from about the middle 

 instead of from a point near the top; otherwise the 

 pulleys will be drawn so far to one side that they 

 will not release the carrier properly. 



A short piece of rope, with a loop at the free end 

 to hook the pulleys into, should be attached to the 

 doors by means of an eye-bolt or U-bolt. 1 1 should 

 be long enough to permit the sling pulleys to trip 

 the carrier when the door 's at an angle of about 45 

 degrees. For the Carry-All Sling Carrier about 4 

 feet of rore is required for a 10-foot door, and 5 

 feet for a 12-foot door. 



When the carrier leaves the trip it is drawn 

 along the track far enough to close the door.
