IMPRQVEMENT m SPRlNG-WAGONS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. I 75,279, dated March 28, 1876; application filed January 10, 1876.
My invention relates to an improvement in. wagons; audit consists in the arrangement and combination of parts, that will be more fully described hereinafter, whereby the reaches are made to extend along the outer lower edges of the body and connect the rear axle with the head-block, and in attaching the springs to the body and reaches in such a manner that they will extend in a line with the body instead of at right angles thereto, and thus prevent the body from tipping sidewise.
The accompanying drawings represent my invention.
a represents the body of a light wagon or buggy; b, the rear axle, and c the head-block. The rear axle and headblock are secured rigidly together by means'of the two reaches d, which extend along outside of the lower edges of the body, and the reaches are connected together and braced sidewise against spreading by the two tie-bars e, which also serve as supports for the four springs g. These springs are elliptical, and are arranged so as to extend with the length of the body, and thus prevent it from tipping sidewise, as it always will when they are arranged at right angles to the body. Theupper ends of these springs are secured to the under side of the body, while their lower ends pass over and rest upon the tops of the tie-rods, are then bent outward, and fastened to the under sides of. the reach d, as shown.
The fastenings for these reaches, tie-rods, and springs may be clips, bolts, or any other that may be perferred.
The head-block is secured to the front axle t by a kingbolt, h, and extending back from this king-bolt are the curved braces l, which may have their rear ends fastened either to the tie-rods or the reaches, and serve to brace the axle firmly in position.
If so desired, the lower ends of the springs, which are full elliptical in principle, may be attached to the tie-rods or both tie-rods and reaches. v
It will readily be seen that no loose joints, shackles, or other rattling devices are used in this combination of parts, and that almost all the iron-work, that adds so much to the weight and expense of wagon, and which is so liable to break, is dispensed with.
Having thus described my invention, I cla-im- The full elliptical springs g, having their lower ends bent outward so as to be attached to the reaches d, while their upper ends are secured to the under side of the body a, in com bination with the body a, cross-bars e, and reaches d, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand.
