WILLIAM H. H. SNELLBAKER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE AND WAGON BRAKES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,1 16, dated September 15, 1874; application filed August 8, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, W. H. H. SNELLBA- KER, of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented an Improvement in Vehicle-Brakes, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to construct a simple, effective, and portable vehicle-brake, which can be applied to all kinds of wagons or buggies; and consists of a brake-lever which is constructed so as to allow a semicircular ratchet to pass through it, and which carries a pawl that can be made to engage with the teeth of the ratchet by pressing the end of the brake-lever to operate the brakerod, having formed upon it enlarged ends, constructed in such a manner as to admit of the reception of a shoerod within such ends, and keyed to the same, and also the method of attachment of the shoe to the shoe-rod arms.
By reference to Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing, my invention will be readily un' derstood.
B is the semicircular iron ratchet, which passes through a slot in the brake-lever A.
a is a metallic cap, which crowns the end of the brake-lever, and has its inner end resting upon a concealed rubber or helical spring. The rod K has at its lower extremity a pawl, c, which may be made to engage with the teeth of the ratchet B when desired. V V is an iron brace, strengthened at the corners, to which the ratchet B is bolted. The brakehiver A is bolted to the brace above mentioned a c.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the brakelever, showing its internal construction and its connection with the brake-rod 0. d indicates the swell of the lever A, through which the ratchet B passes, and which contains the concealed pawl c.
Fig. 3 exhibits the construction of the brakebar P, which has a cylinder, Gr, cast on each end, and is bolted to the vehicle through bearin gs E. The cylinder G has formed within it a square mortise, adapted to receive one end of the shoe arm or rod, of corresponding shape,
as seen at 9, Fig. 5, which is firmly keyed thereto, the opposite end of said shoe arm or rod being also formed square, as seen at f Fig. 5, upon which is adjusted the shoe H, which latter is held thereupon and secured thereto by the nut on the end of such shoe rod or arm, as seen in Fig. 5. The enlargement of the ends of the brake-rod, by means of the cylinder G, causes the same to be operated more rapidly and easily when applying the brakes. The brake-shoe arm fis inserted in the cylinder G, and is secured to it by a key, .9, and is connected with the brake-rod O by means of the stafi' I. H represents the brake-shoes, which can be removed from the shoe-arm f, as more fully shown by Fig. 5.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the cylinder G, which shows that the brake-arm f is united to the brake-bar F by means of the key 9.
The operation of my improved vehicle-brake will be readily understood when it is stated that by pressing the metallic cap a of the brake-lever A, a spring concealed therein actuates a rod, K, which bears upon its lower end a pawl, e, and throws it in or out of gear with the teeth of the ratchet B. When the brake'lever A is about vertical the brakeshoes H bear against the wheels of the vehicle by means of the brake-rod O, which is secured to the brake-bar F by the staff I. This brake-lever and the bar are much stronger and simpler, and, being easier cast, are less expensive, while the pawl is securely protected from the weather, the brake-bar being bolted to the bed of the vehicle, and the shoes made removable.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is
In a brake for vehicles, the combination of the brake-lever A, single ratchet B, and pawl 6 with the brake-bar F and removable shoearms f,-as shown and described.
