Abstract
Abstract A loading device is illustrated for wheeled vehicles having elongated beds wherein a pair of transversely aligned boom members having an extensible inverted U-shaped member adjustably carried on free ends thereof, are pivotally secured on a supporting frame and operated by fluid operated cylinder assemblies which are pivotally connected on one end to a respective boom and on the other end to an upright frame member or standard carried forwardly in the vehicle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A loading device for wheeled vehicles having an elongated loading bed comprising: a supporting frame having marginal portions adjacent marginal portions of said bed; a pair of spaced transversely aligned standards fixed adjacent respective forward marginal portions of said supporting frame and extending upwardly therefrom; a pair of transversely aligned boom members each pivotally carried on one end thereof adjacent said supporting frame rearwardly of said standards in longitudinal alignment therewith; a pair of aligned fluid operated piston and cylinder assemblies each having pivotal connection on opposite ends thereof on a respective standard and boom member; a transverse bridging member joining said boom members; and a load securing means carried adjacent said bridging member independent of said standards.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A loading device for wheeled vehicles having an elongated loading bed comprising: a supporting frame having marginal portions adjacent marginal portions of said bed; a pair of spaced transversely aligned standards fixed adjacent respective forward marginal portions of said supporting frame and extending upwardly therefrom; a pair of transversely aligned boom members each pivotally carried on one end thereof adjacent said supporting frame rearwardly of said standards in longitudinal alignment therewith; a pair of aligned fluid operated piston and cylinder assemblies each having pivotal connection on opposite ends thereof on a respective standard and boom member; a transverse bridging member joining said boom members; and a load securing means carried adjacent said bridging member independent of said standards.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
A loading device for wheeled vehicles having an elongated loading bed comprising: a supporting frame having marginal portions extending adjacent side portions of said bed; a pair of spaced transversely aligned standards fixed adjacent respective forward marginal portions of said supporting frame and extending upwardly therefrom; a pair of transversely aligned boom members each pivotally carried on one end thereof adjacent said supporting frame rearwardly of said standards; a pair of aligned fluid operated piston and cylinder assemblies each having pivotal connection on opposite ends thereof on a respective standard and marginal portion; a longitudinally adjustable extension member carried by each of said boom members; a transverse bridging member joining said extension members remote from said boom members; and a winch operated load securing means carried adjacent said bridging member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
A loading device for wheeled vehicles having an elongated loading bed comprising: a supporting frame having marginal portions extending adjacent side portions of said bed; a pair of spaced transversely aligned standards fixed adjacent respective forward marginal portions of said supporting frame and extending upwardly therefrom; a pair of transversely aligned boom members each pivotally carried on one end thereof adjacent said supporting frame rearwardly of said standards; a pair of aligned fluid operated piston and cylinder assemblies each having pivotal connection on opposite ends thereof on a respective standard and marginal portion; a longitudinally adjustable extension member carried by each of said boom members; a transverse bridging member joining said extension members remote from said boom members; and a winch operated load securing means carried adjacent said bridging member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The structure set forth in claim 2 including means for telescopically adjusting said extension members in respect to said boom members and means for adjustably mounting said winch load securing means on said bridging member for lateral adjustment in respect to said bed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The structure set forth in claims 2 or 3 including bridging means connecting said standards for receiving said extension members.
