IMPROVEMENT IN FIFTH-WHEELS.
Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. l 56.576, dated November 3,1874; application led September 22, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PAUL LA BELLE, of Monroe, in the county of Jasper and State of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Fifth-Wheel; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan view; Fig. 2, a section through line a' x. v
This invention relates to certain improvements in fifth-wheels for carriages, wagons, &c. and consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts whereby the use of the king-bolt and also the perch and bedplate are dispensed with, and a simple, durable, and neat adjustment secured.
In the drawing, A represents the top plate ot' the wheel, which is provided with the seats abc, to receive the transverse and longitudinal bearing-bars. B represents the lower plate, made to conform to the shape of the plate A, and provided with the clips C, which fasten the wheel to the axle. Plate A is fastened to plate B by a bolt, D, which forms a center, of which the wheel is the circumference. Said plate A is bent at E inwardly, downwardly, and then flanged Vout to 'form a groove, in which plate B moves. Said groove may be of any desirable shape to suit the lower plate,
` dispensed with, and one in which the strain is distributed over the entire faces of the wheelplates, thus reducing friction and diminishing the wear.
'By means of the adjustment of the plates .at E, also, the plates are prevented from ever separating from each other from wear or abuse, and an easy and smooth motion in the are of a circle allowed them.
Having thus described my invention, what The combination of the plate A, having seats c b c and groove E, with the bolt D and the plate B, having clips C, substantially as and for the purpose described.
' PAUL LA BELLE.
