IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE-BODIES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,213, dated J annary 30, 1872.
I, EDGAR M. WILLIAMS, of the city of Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriage-Bodies, of which the following is a specification:
My invention, in the first place, consists of a metal sheathing for a wooden body of a carriage, wagon, or other vehicle. the ordinary wooden body can be made lighter and cheaper than at present, and also be thoroughly protected and strengthened.
In the second place my invention relates to a device for holding together the adjacent ends of the metal sheathing without the employment of nails, screws, rivets, or the like, thereby preserving the smoothness of said ends.
In the third place my invention relates to a device whereby the metal sheathing may be secured to the wooden body without the introduction of nails, screws, rivets, 830., into the sides or ends of the sheathing and body,thereby preserving the smoothness of the shcathin g and permitting the same to be highly finished.
In the accompaying drawing, Figure 1 is a side and end elevation of a carriage-body c011- structed with the improvements herein described. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section taken at the line X X in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side and end elevation of the outside of the adjacent ends of the metal sheathing, showing my improved method of uniting the ends. Fig. 4 is a side and end elevation of the inside of the adjacent ends of the sheathing, and showing the back of the lock-piece for uniting said ends.
General Description.
formed of one continuous piece, but it usually consists of four pieces locking at each corner of the body. When bent around the wooden body the adjacent ends of the piece or pieces of sheathing may be attached together in any A good device for uniting desirable manner.
By this meansthem is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The adjacent ends of the sheathing are turned inward and folded back. A lock-piece, E, of metal, with flanges, is adjusted to the flanges of the sheathing by overlapping them, as shown in Fig. 3, and also in Fig. 4, where the lower end of the lock-piece E protruding below the edge of the sheathing has not yet been cut off. By this lock-piece the adjacent ends of the sheathing are secured together without the use of nails, screws, bolts, or rivets, &c., and thus kept free from indentations, &c., present a smooth surface for a high finish. This lock-joint permits the adjacent ends of the piece or pieces of sheathing to be united at any desired point on the sides, ends of the body, or at the corners of the same. This sheathing is to be securely attached to the wooden body in any desirable manner.
The mode which I claim as of my invention and usually employ is to bend the upper and lower edges of the sides and ends of the sheathing, respectively, over the upper and lower edges of the sides and ends of the wooden body, thereby forming flanges C O, &c., on the edges of the sheathing. These flanges are secured to the body by nails. screws, bolts, or rivets, &c., passing through the flange and into the wood. Thus I am enabled to firmly attach the sheathing to the body without piercin g or indenting the sides or ends of the sheathing. These sides and ends are thus capable of a smooth finish. These sides and ends may be stamped in any style, plain or ornamental, with panels, beads, or moldings, &c.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination of a wooden body for vehicles and a metal sheathing, for the purposes specified.
2. The flanges 0 formed upon the upper or lower edge or both upper and lower edges of metal sheathing for a wooden vehicle-body, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
3. The lock-pieces E, in combination with flanges upon the adjacent ends of the metal sheathing, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
EDGAR M. WILLIAMS.
