"' J U ED TATES} Torsion Josnrn firmer, or c EvnLAnn, oHIo.
. To all whom it may concern:
'Be it known that I, JOSEPH Ennn'r, a citizen of the UnitedStates,-residing at Cleveland, in the county-of Guyahoga and State:
of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stake-Sockets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompany ing drawing, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation partly broken away showing a stake socket embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line II1II of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a pers pective view of the stake socket with the stake removed, and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the spring.
My invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in stake sockets for vehicle bodies. It has been customary heretofore to use a plain wooden stake with the lower end inserted in a pocket secured to the vehicle body. This construction is objectionable in that after the stakes are-inserted, they frequently get wet and swell to such an extent that they-cannot be removed without driving them up from thebottom. This frequently destroys the stake. The stakes also very often break off above the stake pockets. With the present heavy trucks, such as motor driven trucks, which 'use'large stakes and carry heavier loads, it
is desirable to provide a stake socket which will overcome these objectionable features. My invention does this in a simple and effective manner. It also provides a construction in which shorter wooden stakes may be employed, which is much stronger than the ordinary wooden stake, and in which there may be a relatively loose fit between the stake socket and the stake pocket without rattling.
The nature of my invention will be best understood by reference to the accompany-- ing drawing, in which I have shown a preferred embodiment thereof and which will now be described, it being premised, however, that various changes can be made in the details'of construction, arrangement and combination of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, asset forth in the appended claims.
In this drawing the numeral 2 designates left use.

a stake pocket plate of the usual character having. therein the pocket 3.
-.t'des1;g-nates my improved stake socket,
formed of metal and having a cavity 5into which the lower end portion of the wooden stake 6 is fitted. and which is formed with secured by rivets 8, or other suitable attaching devices, to the stake. The upper edge portion of the socket a is preferably flanged outwardly, as indicated at. 9, such flange forming a stop for engagement with the up per edge of'the stake pocket? One or both sides of-the socket a is provided with an opening 10 through which may project the bent or bowed port-ion 11 of a spring 12 whichis seated in the socket below the lower end of the stake 6. By forming an opening .10 inboth faces of the socket, the spring may be inserted to either side and thus make the same socket readily adaptable to right or The bowed portion 11 of the spring frictionally engages the inner wall of the socket and thus prevents rattling and the stake jumping out, although permitting a loose fit between the socket and the pocket. Inasmuch as it is necessary for the wooden stake to extend but'a short distance downwardly into the socket, the stakes maybe made much shorter than would otherwise be required. The straps 7 provide a strong reinforce for the wooden stakes.
Stakes provided with my improved sockets-cannot swell so as to become tight and may be readily removed at any time without injury.
It will be readily understood that my in vention is not limited to the use of the particular form of spring which I have illustrated, since springs .of various kinds may beemployed.

I claim:

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set 25 my hand.
