Description
J. WAYLAND- Gal Spring.
No. 102,340. Patentedpril 26, 1870.

JAMES WAYLAND, OFSNEW YORKpN. Y.
Latas Patent No. 102,340, man 'Api-n 26, 1870.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, J AMES WAYLAND, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Springs, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a spring constructed in accordance with my improvement, and
Figure 2, a sectional view of the same, taken as iudicated by the line x a; in lig. l.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My invention consists in a spring applicable as a car-spring and for other purposes, which is made up of a series of corrugated steel plates, arranged in a novel manner, to secure a large degree of elasticity and great lightness with strength.
Referring to the accompanying drawing- A A and A A represent two pairs of corrugated steel plates, but I do not restrict myself to any precise number of pairs.
Each ot' these pairs A A or A A forms a spring, although the largest benefit is to be derived from a cluster of them, or succession ot' pairs, arranged side by side, as hereinafter described and represented in f. 2.
The corrugated plates of' each pair are arranged to occupy reversed positions to each other, and so that their eorrugations which form inner convex surfaces meet, as at a or a', while in 4a series of pairs of such corrugated plates, arranged side by side, as shown, the corrugat-ions which forni outer convex surfaces also meet, as at b b.
Said plates may be made up of anynumber of corrugations, according to the required length of the 'ing on tie-rods D D, and the ends or edges c c of the plates made to enter grooves d d, formed in said bed and follower.
Such a combination and arrangement of corrugated plates materially differs from other corrugated or curved plate springs, and may he got up as cheap or cheaper, as, by the manner in which the plates brace each other, as at a a' and b I), when pressure isap plied to the spring, there is considerable stiness imparted tothe latter, that allows of comparatively thin plates being used, which insures the requisite elasticity to the spring between said bracing points or surfaces.
Thus the spring combines great tension with lightness and strength, andis devoid-.of all complicated fitting.
What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is
A spring made up of a series of corrugated plates, the coirugations of which are made to abut at their convex portions against each adjacent plate, substantially as shown and described.
JAMES WAYLAND.
