ADOLPH SHOENINGER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE-WHEEL FEFNDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 159,047, dated January 26, 1875; application filed Y May 5,' 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ADOLPH SHOENINGER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Wheel-Fender for Carriages, of which the following is a specification:
The rst part of my invention relates to an improvement in mud-fenders for the wheels of carriages; and it consists in constructing them of thin wooden boards steamed and bent to segments ot' circles, which may be painted and varnished to correspond with the body ot the vehicle, and which fenders are cheaper and more durable than the leather ones heretofore used. The second part ot' my invention relates to a means of securing a'fender to the axle instead of the body, whereby it is not eected by the compression of the bolstersprings, but will always preserve its position with relation to the wheel.
Figure l is a perspective view of the inner side ot' a wheel having my improved fender attached to its axle. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-section ot' t-he axle at x a', showing the brace-clamps in elevation. Fig. 3 is a vertical section at y y.
In the drawing, A represents an axle-arm, on which is mounted a wheel, B. C is my fender, consisting of a thin wooden board steamed and bent to a segment of a circle secured to the ends of two radial braces, D D, whose lower ends are inserted in sockets at the ends of two cast-metal clamps, E E', which embrace the axle-arm, on which they are secured by a screw, a, tapped through the one into the other, by loosening which screw the fender and braces can be readily removed. The fender can be painted and varnished to any color, costs much less than a leather one, is easier kept clean, and when the Vehicle is repainted and varnished the fender is renovated to correspond, whereas with a leather fender an old one is not in keeping with the vehicle or must be replaced. Instead of securing the fender to the vehiclc-body, I secure it to the axle, whereby I avoid the necessity ot' placing it high enough above the wheel to not have it strike the latter when the bolstersprings are depressed in jolting on an uneven road, to rub or break it. t
These fenders are applicable to all classes of vehicles from a baby-carriage to a familycoach.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The wheel-tender C, ot' bent wood, and the radial braces D D, clamps E E', and screw a, all combined substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
ADOLPH SHOENINGER.
