GEORGE O. FULLER, OF MAROY, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN SLElGH-BRAKES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 114,663, dated May 9, 1871.
I GEORGE O.FULLER, of thetown of Marcy, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sleigh-Brakes.
The N (more and Object of the Invention.
The only sleigh-brake heretofore known in use has been the chain and the ordinary plow or whiffletree clevis. Both require time to attach and take 0d. 111 taking either off the Description of the Accompanying Drawing.
Figure l is a perspectiveyiew of the brake. Fig. 2 represents the brake on the sleigh.
A is the sleigh-runner, and B a knee thereof. O is a bow, of iron, in the form of a clevis, but having one end of the bow longer than the other, with a loop, 0 and G at the end of each.
The short arm 0 has looped to it an arm oilever, D, with a hole therein, D, with a rope or cord, E, attached to its outer end.
To the long arm 0 of the bow is looped a latch, F, having a forked end, one arm of which, F, serves as a handle, and the other,
F is in the form of a pin, and when in use and operation such pin F fits in the hole D.
The brake may always be attached to the Y sleigh by the cord or rope E.
When the brake is to be applied to the sleigh the bow end is placed under the runner, and the latch F is brought over it in front of the knee B, and the end or pin F is placed in the hole D, and the whole is held by the handle F until the knee B is drawn against the latch F.
When it is desired to detach the brake, a slight pull-outward on the cord draws the lever D outwardly, and the pin D becomes detached, and the latch F flies open, and the runner will pass over the bow, and the brake may then be drawn into the sleigh by the cord E without stopping the sleigh.
The brake, as described, may be used on eitherside of the sleigh.
To give more durability to the brake, steel may be welded to the bow.
Instead of jointing the lever D to the arm 0 as described, the side may be made in one elastic piece, which will press onto the pin F when the brake is in use, and when it is desired to detach it may be sprung open by the cord E.
Claim.
I claim as my invention A sleigh-brake operated by the lever D, or its equivalent, and latch F, in combination, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
GEORGE O. FULLER.
