Spring clearers for road and rail vehicles.

Patented in the German Empire on April 4, 1922.

The subject of the invention is a spring

clearing for road and rail vehicles.

The novelty consists according to the invention

in that a leaf spring above and below the double-corrugated at the same height Center, opposite, is executed evenly, so that the same half of the spring facing downwards serves as a scraper and whichever half is attached upwards represents the stop that with the straight

878143

Spring part through a screw with square bolt on the face of the rigid wheel guard held vertically, can be adjusted higher and lower by means of a spring slot. An angle brace gives the scraper when shoveling the bodies to be caught Resistance and prevents a drop when backing away. Through this This arrangement saves almost all of the material for the second spring clearer ίο and in the event of wear or damage immediate replacement available. The tension of the upper straight bow also prevents the loosening of the Adjusting nut.

The drawing illustrates the subject matter of the invention in an exemplary embodiment; it shows

Fig. Ι the side view of the double spring clearer and the angle bracket on the rigid ao wheel protection adjustable with just one screw,

Fig. 2 the front view of the spring with the two slots.

From the drawing it can be seen that the leaf spring α attached to the rigid wheel guard b with the screw o ^{1 has} a double shaft c ^l in the middle at the same height. The purpose of this wave is to make it more flexible when the spring clearer moves away. From the middle, the spring is designed in opposite directions in both directions. Above and below the middle, the spring ^{is held straight for a short distance g 1} , then it runs to both ends in the opposite arches ft ¹ and Jr, so that the lower half of the spring serves as a reamer and protrudes in the shape of a shovel with the lower arch end forwards . If the upper half of the spring, which always represents the hold of the spring clearer, were not stretched straight against the wheel guard, then it would take up the dotted line k ² . A slot f ¹ for raising and lowering the spring clearer is embedded in both straight parts g ^1. To protect the body to be caught and the spring itself, the latter runs either in a permanently connected curve e ¹ or in an exchangeable clamp c ² at both ends. The angle piece n ¹ , which can also have the shape of the spring, is also provided with a slot and is also held below the spring with the same screw o ¹ higher and lower adjustable. This angle piece serves with the Xase n ^{2 of} the spring as a support so that it has more resistance when shoveling moving objects and does not lengthen downwards when dodging backwards. If the upper half tense with the screw o ¹ having a ι o square pin ^1, against the right end face / i ¹ of the wheel guard, so stretches the same and is held vertically with the straight portions; the tension prevents the screw nut from loosening . Any half of the spring can be moved as a catch clearer downwards or as a stop upwards without changing the spring. If the lower end of the spring is set at a distance of 15 mm from the rail, the spring only yields to the angle bracket when it hits a moving body and the distance from the rail is reduced. If the lower curve hits a stationary obstacle, it takes up the dotted line wi ¹ without coming into contact with the rail. After swerving in both directions, the lower half of the spring always snaps back into its original position. The spring clearer can be attached next to each other in any number and width as well as at any height.

Claims (3)

Patent claims: ι. Spring clearer for road and rail vehicles, characterized in that the leaf spring (a) is corrugated in the middle at the same height, and is kept straight up and down, then runs in opposite curves, the straight parts each having an adjustment slot so that the spring is made uniform in both directions from the center. 2. Spring clearer according to claim r. characterized in that the spring by a screw with mercantile bolts, which passed through the upper spring slot the front of the rigid wheel guard held vertically with tension, but higher how deeper adjustable and can be changed without changing the spring, so that, same which half of the spring is attached upwards as a support and whichever half is turned downwards and serves as a scraper. 3. Spring clearer according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that one Angled support with adjustable slot between the spring and wheel guard attached is, "let the resistance of the spring when shoveling movable bodies supported and at the same time prevents the spring from lengthening downwards when avoiding a fixed obstacle. 1 sheet of drawings.
