Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A device for compacting and elevating a pile of generally elongated materials, and including, a ground supported and upwardly extending frame, a winch carried by the frame at its upper portion, and an elevated anchor trunion carried by the frame substantially below said winch, and a line fixed to and retractably drawable directly onto said winch and having a free end engageable under and then over the pile of debris to be releasably fastened to said anchor trunion; whereby a pile of elongated material laid transversely over the said line when it is retracted to extend from the said winch is compacted and elevated by constriCtion of said line therearound when the said line is passed thereover and fixed to said anchor trunion and drawn onto the said winch.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
129 words
A device for compacting and elevating a pile of generally elongated materials, and including, a ground supported and upwardly extending frame, a winch carried by the frame at its upper portion, and an elevated anchor trunion carried by the frame substantially below said winch, and a line fixed to and retractably drawable directly onto said winch and having a free end engageable under and then over the pile of debris to be releasably fastened to said anchor trunion; whereby a pile of elongated material laid transversely over the said line when it is retracted to extend from the said winch is compacted and elevated by constriCtion of said line therearound when the said line is passed thereover and fixed to said anchor trunion and drawn onto the said winch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 1 and wherein the winch is controlled by a releasable rachet means that normally holds the line as it is drawn onto said winch.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 1 and wherein the line has a loop at its free end and releasably engageable over and thereby connectable to said anchor trunion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
66 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the line has a loop at its free end and releasably engageable over and thereby fixable to said anchor trunion, and wherein the winch is controlled by a releasable ratchet means that normally holds the line drawn onto said winch thereby to elevate the materials to the height of said drum simultaneously with compaction thereof.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
174 words
A device for compacting and elevating a pile of generally elongated materials, and including, a ground supported frame having a pair of upwardly extending legs held spaced by a spreader, a winch carried by the frame and having a shaft journaled through the upper portion of each leg and with a drum at each opposite end of the shaft, an elevated anchor trunion projecting from each leg substantially below said winch and at a common height, and a pair of lines and each fixed to and retractably drawable directly onto one of said drums and each having a free end engageable under and then over the pile of debris to be releasably fastened to one of said anchor trunions respectively; whereby a pile of elongated materials laid transversely over said pair of lines when they are retracted to extend from the drums is compacted and elevated by constriction of said lines therearound when the said lines are passed thereover and fixed to said anchor trunions and drawn onto the said drums of the winch.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
174 words
A device for compacting and elevating a pile of generally elongated materials, and including, a ground supported frame having a pair of upwardly extending legs held spaced by a spreader, a winch carried by the frame and having a shaft journaled through the upper portion of each leg and with a drum at each opposite end of the shaft, an elevated anchor trunion projecting from each leg substantially below said winch and at a common height, and a pair of lines and each fixed to and retractably drawable directly onto one of said drums and each having a free end engageable under and then over the pile of debris to be releasably fastened to one of said anchor trunions respectively; whereby a pile of elongated materials laid transversely over said pair of lines when they are retracted to extend from the drums is compacted and elevated by constriction of said lines therearound when the said lines are passed thereover and fixed to said anchor trunions and drawn onto the said drums of the winch.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 5 and wherein rotation of the winch shaft is controlled by a releasable rachet means that normally holds the lines as they are drawn onto the drums.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 5 and wherein each of the lines has a loop at its free end and releasably engageable over and thereby connectable to said anchor trunion respectively.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
60 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 5, wherein each of the lines has a loop at its free end and releasably engageable over and thereby fixable to said anchor trunions respectively, and wherein rotation of the winch shaft is controlled by a releasable ratchet means that normally holds the lines as they are drawn onto the drums.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
59 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 5 and wherein the frame is collapsible and thereby made portable by means of at least one moveable leg pivoted at its upper end its said first mentioned legs and with its lower end moveable to a stable position spaced from the lower ends of the said first mentioned legs.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
61 words
The material compacting device as set forth in claim 5 and wherein the frame is collapsible and thereby made portable by means of a pair of moveable legs pivoted on a common axis to said first mentioned legs and with the lower most ends thereof moveable to stable positions, respectively, spaced from the lower ends of the said first mentioned legs.
