DONALD E. WILLARD, OF DANVILLE, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO ALLITH-PROUTY COM- PANY, OF DANVILLE, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
SWIVEL PEDESTAL-CARRIER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. a, 1916.
Application filed January 28, 1916. Serial No. 74,928.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DONALD E. WILIIARD, a citizen of the United States, and resldent of Danville, in the county of Vermilion and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Swivel Pedestal-Carriers, of which the following 1s a specification.
My invention relates to carriers for use in mono-rail systems, and particularly to an improved swivel carrier.
In the use of mono-rail carriers in shops, factories and yards it is, of course, necessary to provide curves or turns in the track, and an object in the present construction is to provide a carrier adapted for heavy service and so arranged as to adapt itself to curves in the track. to the end that friction may be eliminated to a material extent. I am thereby enabled to employ a lighter construction for the same service, due to the elimination of strains which would otherwise occur at curves.
A further object is to provide, in a carrier of this description, means permitting the ready removal of the supporting wheels and their bearings for substitution or repalr.
The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, where- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a swivel carrier such as contemplated by me; Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a section through a track of the character adapted to support the carrier of my invention and showing the carrier in end elevation.
The device may be considered as a truck and is composed of the frame having the depending portion 10 and the laterally projecting pedestals 11, 12. The pedestals provide recesses open at the bottom, the side walls of the pedestal members being curved as at 13 in Fig. 2, the radius of curvature being equal to one-half of the distance between opposed faces. The depending member 10 is provided with a central aperture 14 for the accommodation of the shank of the supporting device while the pedestal members are provided with vertical apertures 15, 16, at the center line of the recesses .formed therein.
Mounted in the spaces between the opposed faces of the pedestal jaws are journal boxes 17, 18, the side faces 19, 20 of which ing employed to prevent the accidental dis placement of the boxes with relation to the pedestals. The upper portions of the journal boxes are shaped to correspond to the shape of the top of the recesses in the pedestals, but are of such shape as to permit of the ready swiveling of the boxes in the pedestals. Mounted within the boxes on suitable roller bearings 24 are axles 25, 26 to which wheels 27 are secured at their overhung end.
It will be noted that the arrangement is such that the journal boxes and wheels may be readily removed by withdrawing the cotter pins; that the truck so constructed will adjust itself to curves in the track, thereby permitting a much shorter turn with less strain and friction; also that the device may be constructed very economically and is not likely to become out of order.
I claim:
1. In a carrier, the combination of a frame providing depending jaws, the opposed faces of which are curved, journal boxes mounted between said jaws, the vertical faces of the jaws being correspondingly curved, and axles and wheels carried by said journal boxes, substantially as described.
2. In a carrier, the combinationof a frame providing two pairs of depending between each pair of jaws, the vertical faces Signed at Danville, Illinois this 25th day of which boxes are curved to correspond to of January, 1916.
the curvature of the jaws, and means for DONALD E. WILLARD. removably securing said journal boxes in Witnesses:
5 place between said jaws, substantially as V ROY B. OLDER,
described. CIJ. ANDERSON.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, byaddressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington. D. C.
