IMPROVEMENT IN HANGERS FOR SHAFTING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.130,348, dated August 6, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F. B. \VILLIAMs, of Sterling, in the county of Whitesides and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hanging for Shafting; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification. I

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a hanger for shafting, as will behereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure lis a side view, and Fig. 2 an end view, of my hanger. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofa nut used in my hanger. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the box, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the lower part thereof.

A represents a straight bar or plate, cast, with the downward-projectin g semicircle B, in one piece. In the middle of this semicircle B is a vertical round hole, and in the same are formed two finished seats, 0 (3, between which a nut, D, is fitted. This nut is held by asetscrew, a, from turning, after it has been adjusted. G represents the yoke, in which the box is held by set screws 1) b, said yoke being provided with a screw, E, so as to be screwed into the nut D, thus connecting said yoke with the bracket A B. 'One end of the yoke G is open, and this open end connected with the main part by means of a rod, d, hooked into the main part and dropping into a slot in the open end, and fastened by nuts 0 c. The box in which the shaftin g is placed isv made in two halves, H and H. The lower half, H, is provided with an upward-project ing ear, h, in the center, on each side, and on each side of each ear h is an outward-projectin g ear, f. The upper half, H, has similar outward-projecting ears, so that the two halves may be fastened togethenby passing screws 6 ithrough the same. Between the ears on the upper half are rims or flanges to fit over the upwardprojectin g ears h h on the lower halt. The ears h h have recesses on their outer sides, into which the setscrews b b enter to support the box in the yoke. The upper half, H, of the box has an oil-chamber, 70, on top, closed by a lid, on. The lower half, H, is provided with a groove or channel, a, running parallel with the shaft, and covered with Babbitt metal 1). It has also chambers s to hold packing for retaining the oil.

I do not specifically claim the shafting-box herein shown and described, under this patent, nor do I wish to be understood as confining myself to the particular box with my improved hanger.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The nut D, fitted between two finished seats, G O, and held in place in the bracket A B by means of the set-screw a, substantially as herein set forth.

2. The yoke G, open at one end, with rod d and nuts 0 e to fasten said end, and provided with set-screws b b to hold the box, and with screw E to attach it to the bracket A B, substantially as herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 6th day of July, 1872.
