The Civil engineer and architect's journal, scientific and railway gazette . n-Sea, surgeon, for ?Im-provements in apparatus for holding sacks to facilitate the filling ofthem with corn or other materials.—Granted May 27 ; EnrolledNovember 27, 18+7. Heretofore when filling sacks it lias been usual for one person tohold up the sack the other fills the same. In other casesthe sack has been hung from hooks or instruments from a wall orpost or some other permanent structure. The object of this in-vention is so to arrange apparatus that it may be carried aboutwith facility, and stand in a field or other place, and uphold asack in an open state so that the sack may be filled with facility ;the invention simply requiring such an arrangement of parts thatit may be independent of a fi.\ed or permanent structure, and becapable of being moved from place to place, and yet uphold anempty sack in an open state and allow of a person readily fill-ing the same. The annexed engraving shows a side and backview of the apparatus, a is the main frame, having two legs The sides a are combined together by the bars 6, which are bent toreceive the sack as it rests against it; c is a diagonal frame whichturns on axes, and d are two studs or projections fixed to the siderails of the frame, by which the legs or feet can be caused to standa greater or kss distance apart, there being notches in the pro-jector to receive the studs or projections. At the upper part ofthe apparatus is fixed an elliptical frame f, througli which themouth of the sack is to be drawn. The upper part of the sack isto be folded over the bars^, and the clamping-bars brought down,which will clamp the upper parts of the sack securely between theparts//, and g g, by which means the sack will be held open at themouth and supported or suspended from the frame/ and the appa-ratus may be placed in the position shown in the side view.
