Sling Coupling— Fig. 516 



The coupling used with all Louden Slings except the Carry-All. 



The coupling is made of malleable iron. The working parts are completely pro- 

 tected and the trip cord can be easily and quickly attached. While the catch is posi- 

 tive and secure, a slight pull on the trip rope will cause the coupling to unlatch. 

 Weight, 2}/2 pounds. 



Louden Handy Hay Sling and Holder 

 Fig. 1106 



(For Use With Shng Carrier Only) 

 Weight, Three-Rope Sling, 4 J pounds 

 Weight, Two-Rope Sling, 3i pounds 



The ease and convenience with which this all-rope sling can 

 be handled has gained for it the appropriate name "Handy". 

 As the sling has no spreaders it can more easily be carried and 

 spread on the rack than slings having cross bars. 



The sling trips at the end (or side) instead of in the center as do 

 other slings. The sling can be made up of two ropes or three ropes 

 as desired. The sling holder is provided with three latch hooks to 

 carry either style sling. 



The Louden Handy Hay Sling is the only sling of its kind that 

 is made adjustable so it can be lengthened or shortened to fit any 

 length rack. It will handle any kind of hay or forage. The sling 

 is easily drawn out from under hay in the mow and can be used 

 in filling the barn full up to the comb. Three slings are generally 

 required for each wagon. 



Only one holder (Fig. !I06-A) 



Fig. 1106 (Handy) 

 The holder is made 



is required for each carrie 



of malleable iron. The holder is intended for use with 

 right angle or parallel sling pulleys. The latch or trip 

 in the holder is quickly set and is secure and will trip 

 easily at the proper time. 



Side Trip Sling Holder 



(For Use With Fork Carrier Only) 



Fig. 328 represents our Side Trip Sling Holder, and 

 Fig. 329 is the same with ropes attached. The ropes 

 are laid crosswise on the rack under hay to be elevated 

 and the ends are drawn up by hand. The looped ends 

 are slipped over the trip Y, which is then locked. The 

 other ends are usually drawn through the hook H and 

 tied in a bow knot. Four sets of ropes to a wagon are 

 generally used. 



Weight, 2}4 pounds.

How To Securely Clamp Metal Parts Together 



1st. Put all the clamps on loosely so the parts can be easily racked to line them up properly. 



2d. After they are all in proper position draw the nuts up tight with a wrench. 



3d. When tightly drawn, hit the heads of the bolts heavily with a hammer to set them. 



4th. Tighten up the nuts again with a wrench as much as can be safely done. 



When treated this way the bolts will not be liable to get loose but without hammering their heads so as 

 to solidly set them they will be liable to work loose under a strain and especially so under a jar. This 

 is important in attaching clamps of any kind, especially splice clamps for overhead track, couplings and 

 clamps for connecting the tubing of animal stalls and pens together, especially pens to hold vicious bulls 

 and for other purposes requiring solidity and durability of structure.
