UNITED STM-Es PATENT OFFICE,
WILLIAM BEERS, OF MILAN, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN VEHICLE-SPRINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.. 168,128, dated September 28, 1875; application led June 17, 1875. A
ATo all whom tt may concern body.v Fig. 2 is a plan view. Fig. 3 is an end view,
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views.
This 'invention is a combination, in a buggycarriage, of a thorough -brace, side springs, and transverse springs, so arranged i-n respect to each other and to the gear of the vehicleaud body thereof, that the special char-V acter of each acts and reacts upon the other, thereby making a very easy riding-carriage.
Of the construction and operation of the invention the following is a full and complete description In the drawings, A B represent the axletree beds or stocks, to which are secured the cross-,springs O, wherein are loosely inserted the ends of the rods E. To each end of the rods is rigidly secured a shackle, F, to the lower end of which are attached the ends of the side springs G, as shown in Fig. l. H are side bars secured to the side springs Gr. On the ends of the side bars are secured the cross-bars I, having attached thereto the thorough-braces J, whereon is supported the box K of the carriage, all of which is constructed and arranged substantially as herein described, and shown in the drawings.
1t will be obvious that by this special arrangement and combination of theside springs Gand cross-springs O, together with the thorough-braces, they will act conjointly and upon tached to C-springs, or by means of jacks,
Whichare quite expensive.
The side bars sustain the strain of the thoroughdoraces endwise; hence, there can be no drawing toward each other of the front and hind axles, whereas the jacks and C-springs (usually employed for sustaining the thoroughbraces) being supported by reaches or perches tend to draw the front and hind axles together, producing an unfavorable strain upon the running-gear-of the carriage. In shackling the side springs to the end l springs this tendency ofthe axles to turn and draw toward each other is lessened so much that ope reach, L, only is needed to obtain the necessary strength to resist such tendency of the axles alluded to.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is
The combination of the thorough-brace J, cross-bar I, side spar H, ,side spring Gr, at-
tached to the cross-spring C, substantially v in the manner as herein described, and for
