of the load sustained by the intermediate
truck member.
2. A truck comprising an intermediate
member, end members, coupling poles ad-
5 justably connecting the end truck members
to the intermediate member and maintain-
ing the end members slightly elevated off
the ground, and means to bind the load on
the end truck members to cause the weight
I of the load to be sustained by the interme-
diate truck member.
3. A truck comprising an intermediate
wheeled member, end wheeled members, cou-
pling poles adjustably connecting the end
? truck members to the intermediate truck
member, means to bind the material on the
end trucks to cause the weight of the load of
material to be sustained by the intermediate
truck member, and end gates detachably
connected to the end truck members.
4. A truck comprising an intermediate
truck member, end truck members, coupling
poles adjustably connecting the end truck
members to the intermediate truck member
25 so that the end truck members may be bal-
anced on the intermediate truck member as
a fulcrum, and means to bind the load on
the end trucks to render the truck and load
rigid and cause the weight of the load to be
sustained by the intermediate truck member.
5. A truck comprising an intermediate
truck member, end truck members, a cou-
pling connection between the truck mem-
bers, the supporting portion of the end truck
members being yieldably mounted so as to
yield automatically under pressure upon
striking an elevation and the supporting
portion of the intermediate member being
rigidly mounted so as to sustain substan-
tially all of the weight of the load on the
truck during travel over even or uneven sur-
faces and whereby the truck may be easilya
turned on the intermediate truck member
acting as a fulcrum.
6. A truck comprising an intermediate 45
truck member, end truck members, a cou-
pling connection between the truck mem-
bers, the supporting portion of the end truck
members being yieldably mounted so as to
yield automatically under pressure upon the 50
end truck striking an elevation and the sup-
porting portion of the intermediate mem-
ber being rigidly mounted, so as to sustain
substantially all of the weight of the load
on the truck -when the latter is moved over 55
even or uneven surfaces, and cross pieces on
the end trucks to bind the load on the end
trucks.
7. A truck comprising an intermediate
wheeled member, end wheeled members, cou- 60
pling poles connecting the end wheeled
members to the intermediate wheeled mem-
ber and maintaining the end wheeled mem-
bers slightly elevated off the ground, and
means to bind the load on the end trucks to 65
cause substantially all of the weight of the
load to be normally sustained by the inter-
mediate truck to facilitate movement and
turning of the truck, the supporting portion
of the intermediate truck being rigid and 70
the supporting portions of the end trucks
being yieldable so as to give automatically
under pressure upon striking an elevation
and thereby permit the main part of the
weight of the load to be sustained by the 7
intermediate truck during movement of the
truck over even or uneven surfaces.
In testimony whereof I affix my signa-
ture in presence of two witnesses.
