Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov, 1. 1921.
Application filed October 29, 1920. Serial No. 420,i01.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB F. MARTIX. a
citizen of the United States, residin at automobile buffers. and more particularly to that class or type which are designed to be attached to and carried by the front and rear portions of the motor vehicle for the purpose of protecting the latter and also cushioning the shock or impact due to coming into contact with another vehicle. pedestrian, or other object.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a generally improved buffer of this class, which will be exceedingly simple in construction, cheap of manufactureQand efficient in use.
Afurtherobject is to provide an improved one-piece butter-bar of improved form including open end loops te inating in inwardly extending attachin ii arms of ogee form.
A further and very important object is the provision of improved buffer-bar carrying, supporting and cushioning supplemental spring members particularly designed and adapted for attachment to the scroll portions of sprin members of the scroll elliptic type where y such main and supplemental spring or attaching members are adapted to cooperate with each other in giving added strength and resiliency to the attachments, as well as reducing the liability of breakage ordamage to the springs to a minimum.
A still further and very important. object is the provision of an improved butter-bar attaching and cushioning device which may be readily and uickly attached to and detached from springs of this general type.
With the above mentioned and other ends in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in one of its er 'iodiments in the accompanying drawings. and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Referring to the drawings, forming a part of this spec cation. Figure 1, is a fragmentary to plan view of the improved buffer-bar and its supplemental spring attaching members. the middle or median portion of the bufl'er-bar being broken en oy and the end loops drawn together for'thc purpose of illustration.
Fig. :2. a side elevation of the improved butterdiar and its attachments as applied to springs of the scroll elliptic" type.
Fig. 3, a fragmentary front elevation of the improved butter-bar and the improved supplemental spring attaching mei'nbcrs and clamps for attaching the latter to the scroll portions'of the elliptic springs.
Similar numerals of reference designate like parts throughout all the figures of the d ra Wi n gs.
The improved buffer-bar is of the onepiece typeand comprises a single length of materialforming the main body portion 1, of the buffer-bar, and having the endsthereof bent upon themselves forming open end loops 1, said loops terminating in inwardly extending spring arms of general ogec form, the inner ends of said arms 1". terminating in attaching members 1.
As a means of suitably mounting and attuching the ends 1, of the buffer-bar to the scroll portion of springs of the scroll elliptic type whereby the latter will cooperate with the former in giving added strength and resiliency to the parts. the invention includes a pair of buffer-bar supporting supplemental Spring members 2. having curved portions 2, conforming to the general contour of the scroll portion 3, of the elliptic spring 3, said curved portion 2, terminating at its end in a loop-eye 2", adapted to receive and contain the sleeve of the upper spring and between the shackle or link members 4, as illustrated most clearly in Fig. 2 of the drawin As a means 0 attaching the supplemental spring or bracket members 2, to the scroll portions 3*. of the springs 3, suitable clamping members are provided, said clamping members, in the present instance, comprising U-shaped clamps 5, extending over the edges of the parts 2 and 3, said clamps having their sides threaded and extending through suitable openings in clamp plates 6.'and provided with clamping nuts 6.
As a means of attachin the ends 1, of the bufl'cnbar to the upper ends of the supplemental spring or bracket members 2, the latter'are provided with suitable openings adapted to register with suitable openings in the mils of ninl vontnin sonar! ntzmlling riled with 1 Minn clumpingn While mi, improved illllT-lJilF in portion- 5 lurlv (i from! and :nlupterl for use 11 a run in wonner-tion will] this type of Froqm-ntly elnploved at the roar illll lfifi will at onvo lJk apparent n wpnill well ruluplozl for isobar i} mnnmalion will!
