ABSTRACT:
My dump-truck Tail Gate Spread Chain Release has oppositely spaced bearing members mounted to the dump-truck tail gate adjacent the bottom edge thereof. A chain release holding and release toggle member is pivotably mounted between said spaced bearing members. I fasten a cantilevered arm to said pivotable member, extending upwardly therefrom and fastened fixedly but removably to said truck tail gate. The chain is held in a slotted opening in said pivotable member at selective spaced intervals so that the tail gate may be adjusted to any desired position for allowing materials therein to fall from the truck body. When it is desired to release the chain from the weight of the tail gate and materials in the truck, the cantilevered arm is released from the upper portion of the end gate and the pivotable chain holding member is then pivoted downwardly from dead center in the direction of the pull of said chain, allowing said chain to be easily removed from said slotted opening.
