Louden Sling Binding Pulley — Fig. 332 



Many farmers and hay growers follow the practice of removing 

 the top of the load with a fork and cleaning up the rack with a 

 sling. Or, sometimes, it is necessary to haul a load of dry, fine 

 straw that cannot well be handled with a fork, and it is desired to 

 use a sling. 



The Louden Sling Binding Pulley is the tool to use for this 

 work. 



It can be used with any Fork Carrier hav- 

 ing not larger than 4-inch fork pulley and 

 without any change of rope or re-threading of 

 carrier. In the illustration the Pulley A 

 represents the regular fork pulley used with 

 the carrier. The Pulley B is the Sling Binding 

 Pulley. The Fork Pulley A is slipped thiough 

 the Sling Pulley B, the two pulleys are then 

 spread apart and hooked into the two ends of 

 the s'ing. When the load starts to lift, the 

 Fork PuUeyA slips back through the Sling Pul- 

 ley B and registers in the carrier. This binds 

 the load securely and the carrier supports the 

 load as it is being carried back into the mow 

 the same as in ordinary work. The Pulley B 

 is the only extra part necessary to handle. 

 This can be kept hanging within easy reach of 

 the man on the load, so no time is lost in 

 changing from fork to sling.
