Flexible Tarpaulin Handling Device
US Patent:
3936088, Feb 3, 1976
Filed:
Jul 1, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/484893
Inventors:
Charles Samuel Williams - Lubbock TX
International Classification:
A47F 1306
US Classification:
294 19R
Abstract:
A flexible tarpaulin handling device is disclosed for the remote handling of tarpaulins arranged over the top of a truck or other vehicle. A tarp hook is securely attached to an elongated handle. The tarp hook defines an upwardly extending downwardly curving hook portion for pulling the tarpaulin downwardly, and a downwardly extending upwardly curved hook portion for raising the tarpaulin. Either hook may be used for laterally shifting the tarpaulin. The hook portions are laterally opposed to one another and are mounted to a central interconnecting portion which is in turn securely mounted to a bifurcated tang. The bifurcated tang is riveted on the elongated handle. The truck operator is thereby able to shift the tarpaulin to align it with the appropriate securing means while standing on the ground.
