I Improvement in Tubular Frames of Wheelbarrows and Trucks.
No.12} 916, v Patented Dec-12,1871.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
BEOKWITH W. TUTHILL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN TUBULAR FRAMES OF WHEELBARROWS AND TRUCKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 121,916, dated December 12,1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BEGKWITH W. TUTHILL, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tubular Frames of Wheelbarrows and Trucks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 represents a partly-sectional plan or face view of a barrow or truck-frame, in part, constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2, sectional views of the cross-tubes of the frame, in part, with pertaining devices, taken at the lines aand y in Fig.1. Figs.3 and 4 are views,in perspective, of certain thimbles or sockets used in my invention.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawing.
My invention relates to the tubular frames of barrows and trucks as described in Letters Patent issued to me September 28, 1869, for an improvement in wheelbarrows, in which both the side and transverse pieces of the frame are composed of metal tubes, the latter acting as braces between the side pieces, and being secured by rods passing transversely through the side pieces and longitudinally through the cross-tubes, and fastened on the outside by screw-nuts. In thus making said frames there has been more or less of difficulty in cutting or shaping the ends of the transverse tubes or braces to clip or fit the side tubes of the frame, and special tools and nice manipulation have been necessary to effect a perfect fit or solid connection of the transverse tubes with the side ones.
My inventions obviate this difficulty and economize the construction of the frame, the same consisting of a combination, with the side and transverse tubes of the frame, of cast-iron thimbles or sockets constructed to receive over or within them the ends of the transverse tubes or braces and to clip or fit the side tubes, whereby the ends of the transverse tubes may be cut plain or straight and have a solid bearing in or on the thimbles, that are readily shaped or cast to fit the side tubes.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, A A represent the side tubes of a barrow or truckframe, and B B the transverse tubes or braces, or certain of them. 0 O are the bo1ts,fitted with washers b b and nuts 0 c, for securing the connection of the cross-tubes or braces with the side tubes of the frame and tying or holding the whole together, said bolts passing transversely through the side tubes and longitudinally through the cross-tubes or braces, and also through the castmetal thimbles or sockets D D, made of a form to snugly fit or clip the sides of the side tubes A A and to receive the ends of the transverse tubes B B within or over them. The sockets D are constructed to receive the ends of the transverse tube B over them, and the sockets D formed to receive the ends of the transverse tube B within them. The latter construction admits of smaller t1 ansverse tubes being used-that is, diametrica1ly-but in either case the transverse tubes stop short of the Width between the side tubes, and are made square or plain at their ends to take a firm bearing against a shoulder or shoulders in or on the thimbles or sockets, which latter may be cast with projections arranged to fit into notches in the ends of the transverse tubes to keep them from turning; or said tubes may be keyed or otherwise suitably fastened to the sockets. This forms a simple, cheap, and efficient construction.
What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, with the side tubes A A, transverse tubes B or B, and tie-rods O O, of the cast-metal thimbles or sockets D or D, constructed to fit or clip the side tubes and to receive the ends of the transverse tubes within or over them, substantially as specified.
BEGKWITH W. TUTHILL.
