SOLOMAN E. OVIATT, OF RIGHFIELD, OHIO..
IMPROVEMENT IN WAGONS.
Specitication forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,417, dated February 15, 1876; application filed March 4, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, S. E. OVIATT, of Richfield, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Wagons, of which the following is a full and complete description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making a part of this specification, in which- Figure lis a plan view ot' the wagon-gear. Fig. 2 is a side view. Fig. 8 is a front view.
' Figs. l0 and 12 are detached sections.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views.
The nature of this invention relates'to aA wagon-gear, the construction 'and arrangement of which are as follows:
The invention referred to consists in connecting the front and hind axle-trees to each other bymeans of two rails, A, Fig.
. Figs. l and 2, and in-which mortises they are free to slide endwise, for lengthening or shortenin g the distance ofthe hind and front wheels D, Fig. l, is a collar, provided with a flange, E, a detached View of which isshown in Fig. 10. Said collar is secured to the bolster and axle-tree by the flange which is bolted thereto, as shown in Fig. l, so that'the rail may pass through both the collar and axle-tree. The purpose ol' the collar is to 'strengthen the connection of the rail with the axle-tree, and whereby the same may be secured thereto by a pin, c, Fig. 2. In practice, both rails are provided with a collar.
rI he pole or tongue L of the wagon is attached to the axle-tree by a bolt, b, Fig. l,
passing through the eye-pieces or ears c c, and ismuch longer than the thickness of the pole in connection therewith. On the bolt, on eachl side of the pole, is a spring, N. The purpose of the long bolt and the springs is to prevent the outer endV of the pole from .swaying so much laterally as to strike the shoulders of the horses, or to draw too severely on the collars and neck-yoke straps, which, as poles are usually attached, they are very liable to do, especial-ly when the wagon is passing over rough roads.
It will be obvious that, as the pole of the wagon in its attachment to the axle-tree is allowed a lateral movement on the bolt b, the
iron or plate P. Said plate embraces the top and sides of the pole, au end view ot' which is shown in Fig. 12. The plate, in consequence of its embracing the sides ot' the pole, adds to its strength, thereby compensating for its Weakness caused by the bolt-hole.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combina-tion of the extension-rails A, fixed inthe front bolster B, and sliding in the bolster B' and axle-tree C', with Vdevices for securing said rails to the bolster and axletree at various points of extension along said rails, substantially' as described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The collar D, provided with a iiange, E, in combination with an adjustable or extension rails, A, bolster B', and axle-tree C, as andfor the -purpose set forth.
3. The eye-piece or ears c c, bolt b, and springs N N, in combination with the pole L and axle-tree @substantially in the manner as described, and for the purpose speciiied.
4. The combination of the pole L, plate l?, draw-rods O O, and axle-tree C, in the manner as described, and for the purpose specified.
