Description
PATENT OEEICE.
S'ILAS W. MELSON, SHANNON, MISSISSIPPI.
IMPROVEMENT INV BEAMS FOR HRSE-POWERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.
March To .all whom tt may concern:
Be it known that I, SILAs W. MELsoN, of Shannon, in the county of Lee and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Beams for Horse-Powers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a' part of this' specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a plan view of my device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same.
This invention has relation to sweeplevers for horscfpowers; and it consists in the employment of certain contrivances which will allow the sweep-levers to yield whennndue re sistance is met with, and which will distribute the force exerted by theteam on opposite sides of the master-shaft, as I will now proceed to explain;V 4
In the annexed drawings, A designates theV V master-shaft of a horse-power, and B B' are two sweep-levers, which are arranged on opposite sides of the shaft A, and to which the animals are hitched. The levers B B are connected by pivots@ a to arms (l C', which radiate from the shaft A', and which have more 149,502, dated Api-i1 7, 1874; application flied 7, 1874.
connected tothe shaft A by means of supporting-braces b b, and the lever B' is connected to the arm G by means of atie-rod, o. Gdesignates an arm, which is rigidly securedto the shaft A, and which has a grooved pulley, d, applied to its outer end. Over this pulley d a chain, e, passes, one end of which is secured to the sweep-lever B, and the other end is secured to the arm C.
It will be seen from the above description that the sweep-levers B B are pivoted eccentrically to the axis of the shaft A, and that they are allowed to yield by reason of the bendling of the arms C C', which will take place whenever a sudden undue resistance is to be overcome.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The sweep -levers B B', with supportingbraces b, arms G G', arm G with its pulley d and connecting rope or chain e, combined substantially as and for the purposes specified.l
In testimony that I claim the above .I have I SILAS W. MELSON.
I Witnesses It. C. Torr,
or less spring in them.V lhe levers B B are W. C. RHODES.
