IMPROVED DEVICE FOR Mo'vme CARS.
' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No 102,388, dated Avril 26, 1870.
connected to the car and to a rod or rods bearing on the rail or track, so that the car may be moved-by vibrating the lever, and my improvement consists of a bell-crank lever arranged for connection to a car and hav: ing a long arm for a handle and a short arm jointed to a rod, the lower end of which bears on the track or rail, all as described hereinafter, so that the device may be readily arranged for moving the car in either direction.
The figure in the accompanying drawing represents a side View of part of arailroadcar with my device for moving the same.
A represents part of the truck of a railroadcar, and B part of the bumper-beam, to the outer end of which is adopted a clamp, D, the portion a of the latter fitting against and having a projection for indenting the under side of the said beam, and the portion 7) of the clamp having a pointed screw, d, which can be turned so as to penetrate the beam, and thereby firmly secure the clamp to'the same.
To a projection, e, at the lower corner of the' clamp, is hung a bell-crank lever, the long arm f of which is arranged for manipulation by the operator, the short armh being connected to the upper end of a rod, E, and the lower end of the latter having afoot, z, adapted to the rail m, or arranged for bearing onthe track near the rail. 7 are in the position illustrated by plain lines, the mechanism is in a position to be used as a medium for pushing the car in the direction of the arrow, for which purpose the operator vibrates the long arm of the lever; but on changing the mechanism to the position illustrated by dotted lines, the vibration of the lever will cause the car to move in a contrary direction.
'I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to claim, broadly, the combination of a lever arranged for connection to a railroadcar with a rod or rods bearing on the rail or track, so that by operating the lever the car can be moved.
I claim- The L-shaped lever, with its long arm or handle f, and short arm h, in combination with a clamp, D, to which the lever is hung,
