Description

UNITED STATES PATENT Orrroaa EDWARD A.'OOOPER, OF LANCASTER, ASSIGNOR TO PRATT & LETOHVVORTH, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE-STEPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,284, dated April 18, 1876; application tiled March 6, 1876.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD A. COOPER, of Lancaster, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriage-Steps, which improvements are fully set forth in the following spccication, reference being had to the accompanying drawin g.
The object of my invention is to overcome these diliiculties;v and it consists of the peculiar construction of the carriage-step, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved step, with the body-loop and a portion of the body in section. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the step. Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in each of the igures.
A represents a portion of the Wooden body or box of the buggy, wagon, or other vehicle. B represents one ofthe metallic body-loops to which the boX A is secured by bolts b. O represents the plate of the step, which may be of any suitable shape, and D the shank cast in one piece therewith. The shank D is made of angular form, and provided at' its lower end 'with a plate, d, adapted to be secured to the under side of the body-loop B, and provided with bolt-holes through which pass the fastening-bolts b. The shank is preferably provided on its under side with a strengthening-rib, d. e represents the guard-plate, cast with the step-plate O at its rear end, so as to project upwardly and prevent the feet from coming in contact with the wood-Work, thereby preventing the distguration of the latter. The distance between the plate d and the upper surface of the horizontal portion of the bent shank D is equal to the height of the body-loop B, so that When the plate d is secured to the under side of the body-loop the shank D will bear with its horizontal portion under the projecting portion of the Woodwork, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
My improved step is readily secured to the vehicle in a most substantial and durable manner without requiring any additional boltholes to be formed in the wooden body of the vehicle, thus forming a stronger and heater step than heretofore produced.
What I claim as my invention is- A carriage-step composed of a tread, C, bent shank D, guard e, and horizontal plate, d, formed in one piece and adapted to be sccured in position, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
