DONALD M. FERGUSON, 0F DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.
VEHICLE-FRAME.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 25, 1916.
1 b all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DONALD M. FERGUSON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vehicle-Frames, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to vehicle frames of that type in which the side sills are connected to spring arm extensions, forming the resilient attachment to the axles.
It is the object of the present invention to simplify the construction, as hereinafter described.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the end portion of the side sill; Fig. 2 is a similar View of the spring for engagement with the side sill; Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing these parts in as sembled relation; and Fig. 4. is a plan view thereof.
A is one of the side sills of a motor vehicle frame formed of a channel bar, and B is a spring arm forming an extension of said side sill and composed of a plurality of leaves. Heretofore it has been customary to attach the spring arm to the sill by an offset relation of the one with respect to the other, the parts being secured by clips. My im proved construction is simplified and is more compact by placing the end of the spring arm within the channel of the sill, so that the two members are arranged in the same plane and in alinement with each other.
To secure the parts in the relation just de scribed, the end portion of the side sill is provided with a longitudinal slit C extending centrally of the web thereof, and preferably terminating in a round aperture D at its inner end. This will permit of the springing of the top and bottom flanges E and F of the sill, so that they may be clamped down upon the spring arm B when arranged in the channel thereof. Thus by the use of suitable clips, such as G, the parts may be firmly clamped together, as shown in Fig. 3.
The clamping portion of the sill is preferably arranged adjacent to the cross member H of the frame, which latter also engages the channel of the sill and preferably abuts against the ends of the springs.
What I claim as my invention is 1. In a vehicle frame, the combination with a side sill of channel section, of a cross member engaging the channel of said sill, an extension of said sill beyond said cross member having its web portion slitted, a leaf spring arm inserted in the end of the channel abutting against said cross member, and clamping means for the channel upon said spring arm.
2. In a vehicle frame, the combination of a sill of channel section having the cue portion of its connecting web slitted, a spring arm engaging within the end of said sill, a bolt passing through the flanges of the sill and through said arm, and a member clamping the flanges of the sill against said arm, having a portion extending across the open side of the channel.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
